I'm going to do my best to share in the next few posts some amazing nuggets that the Lord has given me recently. Lately, I've learned that, although God will speak to all of us through many different means, He and I very much communicate through revelation of His Word. He is showing me so many "meaty" things in my quiet time with Him. I love it, because as the Word speaks directly to my heart and situation; it proves every time that HE IS REAL!! HIS WORD IS ALIVE!! I have been falling in love with the Word of God and so much more with Him!
The following are summarized some of my recent nuggets or truths that God has been teaching me...
* If the wait has been all for this feeling of love for Him I've gained, then the wait is so worth it!!!
* In His PRESENCE is JOY, His JOY is our STRENGTH, His STRENGTH teaches us to be CONTENT... so, His PRESENCE = CONTENTMENT
* Prayer is aligning myself with what God wants to do IN me during this season.
* A warrior keeps putting one foot in front of the other, even when faith is the only reason to. I will trust in the One who loves me the most and who I love the most.
* God's dream of me (what He imagined as He knit me together and numbered the hairs on my head) is the woman I want to be and the woman He is molding me into.
* His Holy Spirit fire refines me and empowers me with passion and confidence.
* It's not about the natural, but the SUPERnatural! Not about the temporary, but the eternal. And there is far more going on in this season in the SUPERnatural that will last for eternity!!! Praise God!!
* God and I have created a Tent of Meeting that will last me my whole life. (I have a whole 5 point sermon on this to come! lol Revolutionizing me!!!)
* Every tree (person) planted by the stream (drinking from Christ) WILL produce fruit, but always in SEASON!!
* Let your YES be YES and your NO be NO!! A warrior must be committed, zealous, and firm.
* Seek God's approval, not man's
* I must continue to strive to GUARD MY HEART!!
Overall, I'm learning what it means to REALLY, REALLY, REALLY TRUST GOD, even when the situation around me is NOT aligning with His promises... this is very hard, but He is teaching me with tons of grace!
Pray that I continue to grow in wisdom and knowledge of Him. Pray for passion in me for all things Africa. Pray for a miracle in regards to the financial blessing I need to get to Swazi soil! Thank you!! Love you all!
I LOVE it! God is doing so much through you girl! So exciting...keep yourself open to even more that He has. This is just the beginning. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Beth! I loved the point about His presence bringing us to Contentment. It is amazing how this really plays out. We encounter mountains in life and wonder how we'll ever get to the other side. Remember Jesus is always with you. He is faithful. Let me know more about the tent meeting, sounds interesting!
