Are you feeling lost?

I know what that’s like. Feeling lost can feel frustrating, confusing and you become very close to giving up altogether because where do you go from here?!

Take a moment to breathe in deeply and exhale with purpose. Inhale

Exhale. There’s nothing that you’ve been through that God hasn’t already seen and know. Therefore, he knows your next step, it’s up to you to ask him what it is and to obey his full commands. The key is faithful obedience.

“Deuteronomy 31:6 was written to encourage the people of Israel, including Joshua, Solomon, and Hezekiah’s military officers. Their Old Testament reality presented their lives with insurmountable challenges, and God wanted them to know unequivocally that they could trust Him to lead them to victory.

It was a call to obedience amidst great adversity. Two verses later God repeated, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” When we promise “always” or “never” we are incapable of upholding it. Thus the infamous saying, “never say never!” However, when God promises “always” or “never” He can be fully trusted to honor His word (Numbers 23:19).”

“I will Never leave You Nor Forsake You” Meaning of God’s Promise for Your Life” by Meg bucher

The key here is to remember God will never leave you nor forsake you, it is us that make the decision to step away from God. When we feel distant and lost it is often those times that we need to draw near to God in obedience and listen to his direction for our lives. God never decides to leave his children alone, because he is faithful. We however, are not, so need to draw near to him when we feel lost or distant and depend on his guidance to lead us. We can only do this when we ask in prayer.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Psalm 23:1-3

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33: 3

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21

The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. Psalm 37:23-24 

Ponder on these verses of scripture.

What stands out to me is that the prophet Jeremiah was LED by God. He depended on him for his very gift of prophecy, it could only be God that could show him things he did not know. His prophetic gift was dependant on listening and obeying the voice of God.

That’s what you need to do. Spend some time in prayer over these scriptures, study the life of Jeremiah the prophet and ask God to pour into your spirit what commands he is asking of you. Do this in humility, God will show you in his timing.

Let’s pray: Dear Father, thank you for these that are reading this post this day. I pray that you will give them wisdom, knowledge and direction. We ask collectively, God what do you want of us? What do you require? where are we not obeying or listening to you ? show us in this moment. We surrender our ways to yours, have your way.

God your word says ask and we shall receive, seek and we shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to us. So we seek you Lord help us to seek you every single day, and lead us to where we should go and be obedient. Your word also says “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33: 3 And we pray that our ears shall hear a word behind us, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when we turn to the right hand, and when we turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21 Give us an obedient heart in Jesus name, amen!

Takes time to write the thoughts God has placed in your mind after you’ve asked him these questions and ponder on them with him.

Be blessed.

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/jer.29.11.NLT

God has a future and a hope for you point blank. With that said, trust him with it and let go by surrendering and obeying his guiding. He will show you where he wants you to go as you surrender who you are to him, if and when in doubt ask him in prayer. PRAYER IS A POWERFUL WEAPON that breaks strongholds. Ask God to open your eyes to see what the Lord is doing and what he wants you to do, simply ask him.

Yesterday we danced to a song called “anything can happen”, expect anything to happen the

moment when God moves and steps in. Expect a difference, expect a shift, a change, a newness of heart and mind and spirit. There is something that WILL shift that you have no control over. Expect the unexpected, give God the glory and let him move you. Trust that he WILL move you in Jesus name.

I have personally been trusting God on this, let’s move when he says to in Jesus name!

Prayer: Dear God help us to move when you say to and expect the unexpected when you tell us to, help us not to stay in one place but always to keep moving. When we fall may we NOT stay there but get up in Jesus name and remember the importance of the GRACE you’ve shown us. We will move when you say to, we wil get up. We will be obedient in Jesus name, anything can happen. Let us give you that freedom and authority to move in our lives in Jesus name, AMEN.

You may be a dreamer,

a writer,

an encourager,

a minister,

a singer,

a dancer,

a poet,

Or a songwriter.

You know the gift is there.

God gave you it.

Do NOT allow anxiety to function or take over for you, execute your dream.

Persist and persevere with what God has given you.

BREAK FORTH out of discouragement, and second guessing your gift. You are older and much wiser now than before, now that you hear God speaking to you through this ministry, move.

YOU HAVE IT.

“One night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him more than ever. “We were out in the field, tying up bundles of grain. Suddenly my bundle stood up, and your bundles all gathered around and bowed low before mine!” His brothers responded, “So you think you will be our king, do you? Do you actually think you will reign over us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dreams and the way he talked about them. Soon Joseph had another dream, and again he told his brothers about it. “Listen, I have had another dream,” he said. “The sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed low before me!” This time he told the dream to his father as well as to his brothers, but his father scolded him. “What kind of dream is that?” he asked. “Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow to the ground before you?” But while his brothers were jealous of Joseph, his father wondered what the dreams meant.”
Genesis 37:5‭, ‬7‭-‬11 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/gen.37.5-11.NLT

Joseph was a dreamer, and some of you are dreamers, Joseph never let it stop him from sharing just because his brothers were jealous. God used Joseph’s gift to help MANY, do you know the people you are about to reach, touch and minister to?

Joseph used his prophetic gifts for a king and a nation. He was elevated because he opened his mouth, used his gift and NEVER once complained or stopped. He knew that being captured and inprisoned was NOT the end of his story.

So today I am strongly urging you MOVE when God tells you to. STEP into the purpose he has aligned for you.

They didn’t believe Joseph but he continued because he knew God did, same with you. Even if they Don’t believe in your dreams persist, persevere be consistent with your calling. Even if yo Don’t get all the likes and views GO FORTH, DO WHAT YOU’RE CALLED TO IN JESUS NAME AMEN

STEP WHEN HE SAYS STEP, MOVE WHEN HE SAYS MOVE AND ADJUST YOUR TIME TO SUIT WHAT NEW THING HE HAS CALLED YOU INTO. If you know there is something new God is asking you to do, believe in it don’t doubt God or yourself.

Prayer:

Dear God may you help us never to step down from our calling. Help us to ONLY be led of you and not our emotions. We lpve you, we serve you we adore you. Be magnified in our lives and help us to be persistent, consistent and persevere with the gifts and dreams you’ve given us. Thank you, thank you, thank you in Jesus name Amen.

This is absolutely no time for delay he has given you the dream EXECUTE

Patience

Healing is a process that takes time. Often times your healing will appear like waves of temptations crashing against your spirit in attempts to drag you back to a place of unfavourable circumstances and turmoil

Your faith is what will keep you firm. A friend of mine sent me a video today “Faith is the weapon against the world, if the devil can attack your faith and what you believe he’s got you”. Faith is our greatest weapon friends. STAND FIRM.

Keep reading the word of God, keeping turning off your electronic devices in the morning and taking a moment to breathe in the wholesome breath our father Almighty has given us.

Go again, this time with a repentant heart.

To repent means to turn completely in the opposite direction. Do that today.

Picture this, the waves are coming again and this time they want to drag you further because you are elevating and healing. As they come you begin walking in the other direction, you don’t even desire to see the size or the magnitude of the wave, you just begin to walk to your saviour whose arms are wide open. Taking the steps are hard, may even be painful because the force of the wave crashing against you makes your legs tired and makes you want to give up and let go so it can drag you back. BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING BACK ANYMORE.

Who you are now is NOT THE SAME. YOU DECIDE YOU WILL STEP TOWARD GOD’S WORD, HIS PROMISES TO YOU AND TO HIS VICTORY BECAUSE IT IS WAY MORE WORTH IT.

My friend I know you are hurt, weary and ready unto give up as soon as too strong a wave comes, but read these words and believe them.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

The way out is turning the opposite direction and standing completely firm in Jesus’ arms. Begin to worship when you feel yourself being dragged, sing, dance, pray. There’s a way out, you must put your flesh under subjection and run to God instead.

The word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and the joints and marrow, and is a discerned of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

The word is something we need to spend time meditating on daily, even meditating on one scripture verse or a couple at a time, brings the refreshing our soul desperately needs.

Refresh your mind, heart and soul with the powerful word of God. The more we spend meditating thoroughly and spending quality time in the word, the more at peace we are, the more we will grow in wisdom, the more we will grow in understanding, the more instruction God will give us, the more JOY we will have, and the more we will be led to obey God instead of walking in disobedience.

The growth you long for is in spending quality time in the word, and in prayer. Begin one verse at a time.
