Hello everyone!
Well, it's the weekend and you know what that means; fun times abound!
I'm certainly feeling the benefits of the changes that I am undergoing now that the manuscript is nearly fifty pages written already.
Also, God spoke to me yesterday with final instructions as I begin my approach to let a certain person know that I like her...
Lord if it's You, Tell Me to Come to You
I have to keep reminding myself that there is indeed a cloud coming, a cloud of total blessing over my life. I've heard it in my spirit for months now and as standard, it's usually quite some time before what's on the inside manifests on the outside.
All I intend on doing is letting her know that I like her and that is it!
I don't want to pressure her for a response, a date, or whatever, just to let her know how I feel so that she can take it away and pray about it. It's no good just me seeing what I've witnessed over this last year and a bit due to the fact that it would be helpful to know if she's been shown the same or similar things also.
It's all in God's hands now. All of it.
On another note, I keep getting positive feedback on my social media posts, which is awesome!
That's not why I do it though; for the feedback... I do it because it's my mission; I'm here to lift the fallen and show the broken a Master Potter who can put them back together in a far stronger fashion than they were on their own!
People out there need to know that for every time their emotions try to pull them under, God is always there to lift us up and plant us onto higher ground (James 4:10) the moment that we humble ourselves before Him.
It's difficult, though, in spite of all this because my manuscript is challenging me, God is challenging me and, naturally, my crush is challenging me.
But do you know what?
God's in this for my good and that's more than enough for me!
He is watching over my every move and I'm not ashamed of anything that I've written here, though do feel that my earlier posts are definitely weaker than the current ones.
I also realised this week that a prophecy that God gave me seventeen years ago this week has been coming true for the last two to three years and yet I didn't know it!
He promised me that he would take my voice and use it in ways I couldn't even begin to imagine and here I am, having had my blog commandeered by my faith and my faith anchored by my God.
He's been there for me when nobody else was and I'm glad for that because, whilst it was nice to depend on people, it was also nice to see that they couldn't always be around me thus forcing me to either run to God or away from Him.
The comments that I have been getting back lately have been proof that I have been choosing wisely in running to God when my storm rages and my battle rages all around me.
It reminds me of something Pastor Steven Furtick said earlier this year that God is my Strong Tower that I run to in times of trouble and war, not away from!
Proverbs 18:10 pretty much says exactly the same thing: -
The Lord is a mighty tower where his people can run for safety.
Our actions, when the chips are down and the battle rages against us, are what determine whether we sink or float, you see. Take a look at Peter when he walked on the water in Matthew 14: -
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
What faith!
Notice, though, how only Peter said that? When the storm was raging, only Peter found the courage that, despite the impossible, seeing Jesus inspired him to say great things!
So the moment Jesus responded to His request, he started doing the impossible and walked on water!
That's a metaphor for life; when we ask God to do the impossible, He often uses us to do the impossible instead to show the world that He is alive, real and relevant today!
What I want to point out here is that the moment the waves became his focus, he started to drown and that's another metaphor for life however you look at it. When our own personal storms of life swirl around us, the moment we take our eyes off Jesus is the moment that we start to sink also!
Yet it is what happens in between verses 31 & 32 that I want to pull out as Peter walked out to Jesus, started to sink, Jesus caught him and... how did they get back to the boat again? Only Jesus must have helped him walk on water AGAIN?!
Final Thought
Often, when we think we cannot go on any longer in this life, God shows up and helps us either see or do the impossible to get us out of the box we've put ourselves in.
Think of it like that scene in the Matrix movie where Neo asks the child how he bends the spoon: -
I hope I don't make this too laboured, but I'll try my best...
In life there are many problems that we face on a day to day basis and only through faith in Christ are we able to withstand whatever is thrown at us. However, some problems only God can move in and solve so we have to invite him in so that He can "bend" our perception to what is really possible in this life.
So just as Neo marvels at the child when the spoon bends and returns to normal, sometimes our problems have to "bend" to the will of God as He shows us the way out or through them!
Peace!
