Sunday’s Prophecy –
“Everything is a season. There is a coming and going, and I support you through them all.
This season is but a road to my higher callings. Plant seeds of faith. Plant the seeds of hope.
Encourage yourself in me. See beyond where you are. I have given you gifts to enrich the land, and enrich my church. Sometimes a season will present a larger test. A bigger trial.
But be assured, persevering will reap you a harvest of faith and grace.
Yes, even in the middle of the tempest, keep your eyes on the prize.
Stay encouraged no matter what it looks like to my promises.
Don’t be moved by your circumstances. Trust me.
Worship me in your crisis. I change not. I cannot.
So don’t let my word depart from your mouth. Declare them! Believe them!
And they will sustain you and see you through, because I am my word and I love you.
I’ve got you. I promise, you will not be destroyed and this season will pass. |
Praise me for your blessings. You are richer than you think.
Don’t let your circumstances define you and your leadership to those you love.
Show forth my promises and hope because nothing is more real and important
than the eternity I have prepared for you with me”.
We are in the study of James at Grace Church in Land O Lakes on Mondays at 7pm (Come join us) James 2:14-17 says “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works,,, his faith is dead? ” Part of that distinction is referred to in the prophecy God gave me today. “Yes, even in the middle of the tempest, keep your eyes on the prize. Stay encouraged no matter what it looks like in my promises. Don’t be moved by your circumstances. Trust me!” God’s word today is clear.
Eric’s wife Anne is under serious medical care right now. They need our prayers but they are standing on their faith but WALKING in God’s peace because they trust God over her health issues. That peace is the evidence of their faith!
A brother came up to me after church today with his wife, asking for prayer for their marriage because he had not worked in months, (though he has tried) it has created a strain between them. I know others who are financially strapped right now for a host of reasons. But walking in faith or said another way trusting in God is what it boils down to. We are supposed to do everything we can to resolve a problem but we need to trust God for the outcome. Have faith in God everything will be ok.
Did you know the New Testament word for “to Trust” is just a verb form of the word faith? To trust is to believe in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of something. Right? So, when it comes to trusting God, that means believing in His reliability, His Word, His ability, and His strength. The Bible says that God cannot lie. That He always keeps His promises.
Isn’t that what his word said today? I Change Not. I Cannot! God’s word in Malachi 3:6 says that. And Hebrew 13:8 says “Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever”. When everything else shifts and changes, YOU and I are still standing on the solid, unchanging foundation of Jesus Christ. God’s unchangeable priesthood.
Look, I know that you believe in God.
But James in 2:19 says, “You believe that there is one God. You do well. But even the demons believe—and tremble!” They can believe in Jesus’ sacrifice, but add personal works as required to be saved.
Theirs is a “faith plus human effort” salvation. It doesn’t work!
We must walk out that faith. Not just trust in his word, we must live it out in real life. Trusting him when the bank account is minus. Trusting him when the prognosis is bad. Walk obediently in the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. That peace comes from KNOWING that no matter what curves life throws at us, we can still have the joy of the Lord…How?
Knowing…believing…trusting our victory lies in Jesus and not our circumstances.
You have tried like I have to find peace in other places but when the money is gone, when our health is gone, there is no peace like the peace of God. You know that. So take those thoughts captive that deny it. Take hold of that flaming tongue that wants to curse your situation and instead use it as a weapon of praise and dance in the face of Satan’s lies and fiery arrows. His prophecy is clear.
Believe god will be there for you in every season. Faith
- Plant your seed of Hope and Faith from his word.
- Make them the compass that guides your life and emotions.
- Speak out and claim God’s promises for you.
- Walk them out with your words, emotions and thinking. He will meet you right there!
Pray for those spoken about here. We are praying for you!
