Whose Eyes Are We Looking Through?

This morning as I listened to a sermon given by one of the ministers at ORU, the question, "When we look in the mirror, how do we see ourselves", was asked.  I sat and thought about it for a moment until I had finally come up with an answer.  Sometimes I look in the mirror and see myself as the weak-minded defeated little girl who is easily deceived.  Who tries so hard, but is unable to stand strong against the enemy.  That's when I know that my walk with the Lord is on shaky ground and I need to draw closer to Him.  I see the storm raging around me, but I know that He is there, keeping me under His shadow.  I cry out to Him for help knowing that He hears me because His Word says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).  The waves of loneliness, worry, and fear demand to break through and crash down on me, but the One who IS greater blocks even the smallest ripple.  He loves me that much!!  And when I have found my strength in Him and able to stand against the enemy, I look back in the mirror and see the CONQUERORING WOMAN that God the Father has created me to be.

So, whose eyes are we looking through? Are we looking through our own or is it through the eyes of God? Every day we face a battle, but it's a battle that we have VICTORY over because of Christ Jesus! We must remember to put on the full armor of God and stand firm against the wiles of the devil! (Ephesians 6:10-18). 

I pray you have a blessed day in Jesus!!

There's a Snake in Your Garden

Image
I once heard a story about a couple who were having a quiet evening when their dogs suddenly began barking. They got louder, so the husband went outside to check on things. In a panic, he called to his wife and told her there was a snake in the corner of the entryway. While she kept an eye on the 4-foot snake, he went and got a shovel and a knife. After taking care of the snake, reality hit. In order for her husband to get out the front door, he passed right by the snake that could’ve struck out and bit him, or worse. God protected them both from harm. We must be careful to keep watch of our surroundings, especially our homes. The enemy will use any way possible to slither in and lay in wait to strike out and destroy. Just like he did when he made his move on Eve in the garden. He convinced her that it was okay to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge and that nothing bad would happen. And so, she ate the fruit, then gave it to Adam to eat. But what happened after they ate...

What's Been Going On...

 Hello everyone!  It's been a while and exciting things are happening! 😁  I have FINALLY taken that scary step and quit my job to concentrate on becoming an indie author. I did pray and seek God for His guidance and He opened that door wide! I'm currently putting together my first ever poetry collection AND my first novella, To Smile Again. I am waiting on the cover design and working on edits.  I'm SO excited you have no idea! 😆 I'm praying they will be ready for publication by August/September 2021.  Something else that I have added to my writing adventure is...YouTube!!! Yep, I started  vlogs documenting my writing progress. It's been so much fun, but I say 'um' a lot. 😂 Well that's about all I've got going on. I hope you're doing well and don't forget. When you feel like giving up...KEEP PUSHING ON!!!!  Blessings 💮

Get on the Train or Watch it Go By!

 Hello friend! I wanted to share something with you that God spoke to me a few months ago. We've been praying for revival and I have this sense that it's coming soon! Here's what God spoke to me: Revival is coming like in the days of Noah. It is coming in a whirlwind of fire and we need to be ready. We need to make the decision whether or not we are going to get on the train, or watch it go by. Revival will come in God's timing, not ours. The church has been coddled for far too long. There are those who will close their ears to what is being said because they haven’t fully committed their lives to Christ. They like to hear what I call the ‘fluff a nutters.’ They want to hear a feel good message instead of a message that’s going to challenge us to be doers and not just hearers of the word. A message that will make us run, not walk, to the altars and ask God to forgive us for our sins. A message that will ignite the fire within us to want to go out and preach the gospel l...
