GOD IS FAITHFUL
Do you ever wonder when the dreams and promises that God has given you will take place? Do you feel hidden, isolated, and cut off from your destiny? God often leads people to their purpose through a dry and empty place. God had great plans for Elijah. In order for Elijah to fulfill his destiny, God had to develop his faith in the wilderness. God told Elijah to hide in “Kerith Ravine” which literally translated means “to be cut off and cast aside.” As Elijah was obedient and faithful in his process, God developed the resilient faith that Elijah needed to bring fire from Heaven and to bring back the rain. Through isolation, Elijah was able to focus on God and His faithfulness and not on the pressure of the situation. (1 Kings 17:1-6)
When we are obedient, God is faithful to feed us through ravens and desert brooks. When God has big plans for your life, He often develops you in hiding so that you won't have any distractions.
Today I declare that as you are steadfast to what God has asked you to do God will be faithful to you in unexpected ways in your place of development.
Blessings,
John
Heaven has designated you for significance. Good things are attracted to the mark God has imprinted upon your life. You were not created for mediocrity - you were hand crafted by the God of the universe to live in such a way that leaves people in awe of your Heavenly Father.
God was silent for 500 hundred years. And then He interrupted that silence with a message of peace. The greatest shift in human history began with this message, "peace and goodwill to you from God in heaven." God has good intentions toward you, and they are to bring you peace!
My heart has been deeply grieved seeing the recent murders of black men by police. It raises a lot of questions. I believe God calls for His kids to be an answer during times of deep pain! How can we create Kingdom justice & reconciliation in our every day life?
Waiting. Winter. Wasteland. Empty places. Don’t dismiss your barren seasons because they will grow into beautiful places in God’s hands. The Mastermind behind seasons knew the importance of prolonged waiting as a canvas to create expectancy in His children.
Our generation is living an unbelievable historical experience where we all have come to a complete halt during Covid19. It’s a global moment of stillness. All the distractions and all the voices are hushed and you get to hear yourself think. Let’s not take this stillness lightly. Breathe fresh air into those lungs. Reconnect with your heart. Strategize with God. And learn to celebrate yourself again!
God wants to equip you with His battle plans. He wants to put a sword in your hands and mentor you in how heaven fights battles. But you may be surprised by the tools that God uses. In fact, I think you will be SHOCKED. God wants to give you His power and His strategy -- and His weapon is joy!
Being angry may make us feel powerful for a moment, but if we feed offense it will actually become master over our lives.
God is not threatened by your questions or doubts! In fact, He loves your questions and vulnerability! But doubt can turn into something damaging to your soul if you do not resolve it.
Dreams are the language of the sprit world. They are not simply stories our minds create while we sleep - but they can be a catalyst for connection with Father God. As Jacob said after awaking from a dream, “God is here and I did not even know it.” It is time for us to come fully awake to the fact that God is speaking to us in the night! It is time for us to be equipped with the ability to understand and interpret these divine messages.
