Today God confirmed for me that I am firmly rooted in him and that he is developing me more every day. Thinking back over last month and this month so far I came to realize a few things. I came to realize that last month I was fighting. I was fighting God to get out of the desert season of my faith. I was trying to so hard to get out of where God had me at that time. God wants me in this season to teach me things that I wouldn`t learn elsewhere. He is stripping away my old wine skin and preparing me for my destiny. Today I realized that this month I am able to rest more in God and that I feel a lot more peace in myself. I at first couldn`t understand why the difference but now I realize more of why that is. I am not fighting God and what he has in store for me as much as last month. I still have my moments of frustration but I am learning to get through those moments too.
Today during a prophesy exercise alot was confirmed for me. The prophecies spoken over me had a reoccuring theme. The theme was that I am firmly rooted in God. It was spoken over me that:
I am not just growing but sprouting. My growth has been so fast that I don`t even realize that I have peace with where I am right now.
My feet are the roots and my arms are the branches. I am like a big oak tree that is firmly rooted and nothing can bring me down.
I was also told that I bring light and peace to a dark room. I walk in and there is peace. My feet are light weight and the peace carriers. Others want that peace. Even little children reach out to me for more of what God has put in me.
In John 15 it says “I am the vine and you are the branches“ That verse rings very true to me today. God is opening up doors so wide that I just have to be willing to lean on him and walk forward in faith. He is planting me more and more. My faith is able to teach others and reach them at all levels.
So all in all I am learning so much these past few weeks. It is so fast at times that I can`t even process it all. God is now bringing me out of the desert season and walking me through the next stage in my faith. The ministries this month are stretching and causing me to grow so much. Working with the elderly, prison ministry and hospital ministry, working with the youth of the church and much more. I love the relationships being formed and am looking forward to what God is going to continue to do in and through me.
