Im so excited right now!
I feel like my soul is on fire!
My life is a flame for our God.
I can choose what to do with it. I can be a small flame, hiding what he has freed me from, or ignite and become a roaring fire! Sharing His truths and all the gifts He gives us!
My heart is so happy right now! I feel so alive! the most I have felt since coming to Gainesville!
The enemy has been trying smother my fire, and discourage my excitement for Our God.
The enemy has no place here.
he means nothing.
he will twist your mind and thoughts and try to turn you against the One who made you.
he steals, kills and destroys and does nothing good or prosperous.
God only wants good for you.
He only want to see you grow, live and be free from shame, pain, guilt, hate and be restored in Him!
He is a light.
I am his flame.
I am perfect in his image.
He loves me for me.
He created me.
Psalms 139:13-15,17
“You created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother’s body. How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that.
What you have done is wonderful. I know that very well. None of my bones are hidden from you when you made me inside my mother’s body. That place was as dark as the deepest parts of the earth.
God, your thoughts about me are priceless. No one can possibly add them all up.”
The God of the universe is calling my name.
The God of the universe is calling your name.
I can choose to let my fire for God start to grow and then watch it burn out, or stay lit and make a roaring fire in my soul for Him!
The song “Start a Fire” by Unspoken, came to mind:
“Start a fire in my soul
Fan the flame and make it grow
So there’s no doubt or denying
Let it burn so brightly
That everyone around can see
That it’s You, that it’s You that we need
Start a fire in me”
I wrote this on 09.21.20 after speaking with my team leader!
I felt cloudy and had a lot of unclarity the first week here. The enemy really tried to discourage me. He wanted me to feel disconnected from God and my team.
I would get a glimpse past the clouds in my mind, and I would be hopeful. Then I would think ‘If i have too much hope in this small breakthrough, it might go away…’ So the clouds would cover my mind again, i would start to feel my spark for the Lord extinguish.
Since this day, the Lord has been lifting the clouds in my mind. I have been learning to create space for Him. Make time for the Lord. Trust in Him. Trust that every time I pray He is listening to me.
Trusting In Him fully. “When you ask, you must believe. You must not doubt. People who doubt are like waves of the sea. the wind blows and tosses them around. A man like that shouldn’t expect to receive anything from the Lord.” ( James 1:6-7)
I want to fuel my fire for Him, instead of letting it die out. Hiding His words in my heart.
“So obey God. Stand up to the devil. He will run away from you. Come near to God, and He will come near to you.” (James 4:7)
I want to know Him more. I want to share what I have learned with people so they can experience His undeniable love and grace. His immeasurable patience. His presence.
His voice. His freedom.
Jehovah Shammah- means “the Lord is There”
He is always there. Ready. Patiently and excitedly waiting for us.
He is my friend. He is my king. He is my protector. He chose me. He will never leave me.
