Tea for your soul

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah."

Grace

Dear Lord,
I pray for every sister that is afraid to walk in your gracious light. I pray that whatever shadows are casting over her, you remove and let your light shine through her. Let her recognize that her dwelling place is in the favor of your kingdom. Allow her to reap fruit in dry places. May she seek you always no matter the circumstances in her life. Build in her a soul that is impenetrable to the weapons of this world.
Amen

Perseverance

Dear Lord,
I want to thank you. Thank you for every sister reading this publication. Lord, I want you to pour into her your power. A power that only you can provide. A power that allows her to push through to the other side of whatever circumstance she may be facing. Lord give her an “in spite of” strength, give her an open mind that she may be filled with wisdom as she walks through this experience. Lastly, Father grant her a heart filled with joy, for her soul knows the will of her life is anchored in your promises.
Amen

Withholding Nothing

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

James 4


This is year one. God says, this is the year of beginning. If you listen to my voice and obey my Word this year will be the beginning of an outpouring of favor and blessings upon your life. But will you put aside your selfish desires? What about your jealously and rage towards others and their possessions? Will you lay down the will you have for your life at my feet in exchange for my protection and wisdom during this upcoming journey? I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU (Jeremiah 29:11). Look throughout my Word and find Me. Bear witness to what I have done for others and be confident that I WILL do the same for you.


I have made a vow to get out of my own way this year. I am committed to withholding nothing. I mean NOTHING. This year, God gets it all. He gets the good, the bad, the anxiety, the uncertainty, the fear, my desires, my family, my career, my relationship, my business...everything. For 27 years I have attempted to negotiate with Him the things I am willing to let Him control. Silly me! The audacity of me to think I can limit the power of God. He's the same God that rose on the third day. He made the lame man walk, the blind man to see and the dead to live again! Let's not forget (perhaps my favorite miracle) He turned water into wine!! No longer will I engage in battle with this world. No longer will I squabble with myself. What a beautiful thing it is to give it all to the One who knows exactly what to do everything. Think about it. When we go to Jesus for counsel, we don't seek a second opinion. Who is higher than He?


The best part about withholding nothing is that I gain everything in return. Sure, now that my hands are no longer full I have the capacity to receive and hold on to the many blessings that are awaiting me. But that's not what I am referring to. I am talking about the intangibles. I am talking about PEACE. Peace is defined as freedom from disturbance; tranquility. It is also described as a period in time where there is no war or a war has ended. I have ended the war that exists between who I think I should and who this world wants me to be. I am no longer disturbed by self-pity, comparisons or what others define as my inadequacies. I am speaking of JOY. No longer being emotionally tethered to my situations but instead finding delight in the fact that everything I will experience is orchestrated for my good. "My good" according to God's will and the kingdom of Heaven which will outlast this Earth and its temporary treasures. I gain WISDOM. Through my trials and my triumphs I will gain heavenly knowledge and develop good judgment. I know that because the reward of my decision is of high spiritual value, Satan is already plotting his next move. Well, the joke is on him because I have seen the blueprint of my blessings and I will not be distracted by his tricks, tactics or tantrums.


My advice to you is not to follow me on my journey but to ask God to pave the way for yours. Stop fighting yourself. Stop quarreling with others. Seek Him and only Him. Ask only with the desire to please Him and service the Kingdom. You'll be surprised that the answer is what you wanted all along.
