YOU are it!

Hey guys!  I'm back!  God's been taking me down some crazy paths lately in my walk with Him and I can feel him leading me to certain things.  This blog is one of them.  So you may be hearing more from me :)

So I had a thought tonight during Bishop's sermon that really just opened my eyes and had me speechless (at least until now).

It was prophesied that someone would come before Jesus and prepare a way for Him.  That was prophesied in the Bible YEARS before John was ever a twinkle in his mother's eye.   He was set apart from the womb. God had a plan for him that was going to usher in the greatest gift the world has ever been given.

Imagine the day when John realized HE WAS IT!  He was the one that was spoken about in the old testament.  Imagine him sitting in the playground or in the synagogue, I don't know when it hit him, but imagine what it felt like to be taught about a messiah that is to come and realize that YOU are the one chosen to prepare the way. YOU are the one prophesied about. YOU are the one that generations have read about that would set the stage for the Messiah to be introduced to the world.  WOW! I don't know if that blows your mind but it does mine. 

I'm sure John always knew he was different and called and set apart.  I'm sure he probably wan't understood by the kids in his neighborhood. But he was human and he had to obtain revelation of who he was at some point.

We all go through this process of finding out who we are in God. What our purpose is and who we are in him?  It's a process that I believe only evolves and never stops. But imagine realizing one day that YOU are it! 

You see we are all it! He has formed you in your mother's womb and knew you before you were a twinkle in your mother's eye.  He knows who you are, what you will do, and how you will accomplish it.  He has singled you out!  

YOU have been chosen to spread Jesus and his saving grace. YOU have been chosen to be his hands and his feet.  YOU! Not the person next to you in church but YOU!  Imagine what is waiting for you to accomplish just by walking in blind faith and going where God leads you!!!!!

Lord help me to walk worthy of this calling, of being chosen.  Let me understand the responsibility of it all but more important, give me revelation of the love that you have for me that you would choose me. This hot mess of a girl who doesn't know what's next in life and doesn't have it all together. Help me to do what you want me to do without my will being involved.  Thank you for choosing me! Thank you for loving me!  Thank you for never leaving me or forsaking me!

Aint He good :)

What are we listening to?

I recently purchased this book called Women of the Word which was recommended to me by a friend.  It's a year long devotional of 52 women in the Bible.  I'm on week one and God is already using it to teach me.  EVE WHAT GOD SAID:  You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die. WHAT EVE TOLD THE ENEMY GOD SAID:  We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, "You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and  you must not touch it,  or you will die." WHAT THE ENEMY TOLD EVE:  You will not certainly die,  for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. First -  Eve added to God's word. Second - so did the enemy. Seeing this leads me to ask two questions: 1. How of...

DO NOT LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

Lord, use me.  A prayer I've prayed a million times.  But lately I've been doing some soul searching, or rather God has been telling me about myself. (Don't you love when he does that.)  I've always wanted to be used by God greatly.  I've said that I've surrendered all, sang the song a million times, and just turn around to pick up all the junk I've laid on the alter for the 15th time that month and try to figure out this "surrendered" life I'm supposed to lead.  I've tried to map out how he can use me, where he can use me, and what he will have me doing.  Well let me just tell you folks, my head has been stuck in the sand for many years.  Now don't get me wrong, I've always wanted what God wanted for me and although I've put up a fight for a few things, I usually give in, hang my head like a little girl, and say "You were right all along and I should have listened the first time."  Why do us girls always try to figu...

More than the Hem

"And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,  Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.  And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?  And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.  And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.  And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace." Luke 8:43:48 We hear it preached about her incredible faith and devotion that led her to touch the hem of his robe.  The story of seeking, finding, and being healed....
