Mac is home!

Mac is home!

This is a story of listening to the Holy Spirit.

As a born-again Believer in Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit is inside of us (1 Cor. 1:30).

 

Jesus said I must go away so I will send to you a comforter (John 16:7).

The Holy Spirit is a guide unto us (Rom. 8:26-27, John 16:13). 

He directs us and leads us –  if we’ll listen – into the SUPERNATURAL, MIRACULOUS, GREATER!  

Gal. 5:25,

1 Cor. 2:13

Rom. 8:14

1 Cor. 6:17

Today was an example of some times the Holy Spirit is ever so slight and gentle - a slight nudge.  

When we slow down and “listen” - God, through the Holy Spirit, directs us.

John 16:13

It was around 9:15 - 9:30 am this morning and I looked up the drive and the tractor implement truck was coming down the drive.  A thought (the Holy Spirit directing) came to me – “go get your clothes on in case someone comes to the door”.   I was still in my pajamas and I attempted to argue with myself . . . “Mark has already told them what he needs, they never come in”.

I chose to listen to the first leading and went in and got my clothes on. 

Right as I DID - there was a “knock” at the door.  I could see the implement company was out working with the tractor and I wondered who it was.

I immediately thanked the Holy Spirit for directing me to get dressed and walked to the door.

It was our neighbor.  He said he was out looking for his daughter’s dog, Mac.  After they let him out this morning to potty he hadn’t yet returned.  We talked a bit and then we spoke a blessing out loud declaring Mac would be found . . .  “Holy Spirit, bring him home”!

About that time his phone rang.  It was his daughter asking him if he had found Mac yet.  He said no but that we were all looking for him.  Their family was out and about TOO - ALL on the hunt for Mac!

I immediately was stirred!  It was a direction to go out and look for him!! 

I told him that I was going to go riding (direction of the Holy Spirit) and I would look for him.  We visited for a bit and he left.

I came in, got my water, my phone and put the dogs away and the thought (my own thought and not the Holy Spirit) – “I wonder if I should get on the 4-wheeler and ride around the property?”

I IMMEDIATELY sensed – “ride your bike”. 

So off I go on my bike.

I get to the end of our drive and the thought (the Holy Spirit) directs me to turn left out of the drive and go that direction (John 10:3-4). 

That’s what came FIRST! 

The Holy Spirit comes first!  Then thoughts of doubt (satan) our flesh and reasoning come afterwards.

Just this last week at Champions4Christ, Pastor Nate taught on this very subject.  Now, how amazing is God to position me to hear and “catch” this divine message on listening and discerning the voice of the Holy Spirit!  Glory to God!

So, what I caught from Pastor Nate was how we learn from Genesis 2:16 - 17 that God and the Holy Spirit comes FIRST.  He gives direction and clarification.  He gave Eve direction and clarification.

THEN satan comes to try to steal and say . . . “did God really say that”?  

See Genesis 3:1.  The serpent asked Eve in Genesis 3:1 – “did God really say . . . “?

Then in Genesis 3:5 Eve starting reasoning – trying to create her own way.

Satan is a liar and brings confusion.  We see in John 10:10 that satan ALWAYS comes to steal.  He is NOT a creator of Love, Light or Life, therefore he brings confusion to try to get us to not walk in Faith Believing – which is the VICTORY and GREATNESS in which we were created!

BUT GOD!

We learn in the last part of John 10:10 the VICTORY we have . . . “But I (Jesus) have come that they may have LIFE , and that they may have it MORE ABUNDANTLY”!

Cha ching!

So here I am on my bike heading down the road.  I listen to the Holy Spirit and turn left.  This is a direction I hardly ever go on my bike – like ever.

So I’m listening to Praise and Worship on my phone and just enjoying the Lord!

I’m praying and believing “WE WILL FIND MAC”!

I’m sure of it!  I’m confident of it!  There is PEACE and VICTORY!

I’m tooling along and I get a couple miles from the house and fear wants to come upon me.  Ugly thoughts of what about this? Lie!  What about that? Lie!  Blah!  Blah!  Blah!  Like some whacky warfare craziness is wanting to come upon me!  WHAT THE HECK! 

Fear is not of God!  EVER!!

II Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear

but of

POWER,

LOVE

and

A SOUND MIND!

I began praying in the Holy Spirit and binding fear in the Name of Jesus!

At this point I get to CHOOSE to release my God-given power and authority of Faith in the Name of Jesus and CHOOSE to believe - no matter how I feel that “we’re going to find Mac” and I am totally 100% safe!

So, I’ve been riding a while and sense to start heading back towards the house (leading of the Holy Spirit). 

Fear has now left!  At this point I’m not even thinking about any type of lack or ugly.

Hallelujah!!

I took authority in the Name of Jesus over my feelings and emotions – through the Power of the Holy Spirit!

Slayed that liar!

I continued to pray in the Holy Ghost!  I’m just Praising and Worshippng the Lord!  Oooooooh, the Glory of the Lord!  We be praisin’ some Jesus now!!!

*****

So, I’m tooling along and Praising and Worshiping!

ALL OF THE SUDDEN!

It was a SUDDENLY!!

Ha!  Ha!  Ha! 

Just like Paul and Silas in Acts 16:26 . . . “SUDDENLY”!

SUDDENLY . . . I look behind me and here comes Mac! 

Yesssssss!  He’s panting and running just as hard as he can to catch me!

I STOP and pick him up and HUG him and jump around dancing and praising God ALL THE MORE!

Mac is HOME right now with his family!  He is most loved and he is a happy and blessed pup!

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for guiding my steps!

Thank You!  Thank You!  Thank You!

We are GRATEFUL and Praise You, Lord!

Here are a few things we can learn from today's journey and Mac!

#1       Some times the Holy Spirit comes as an ever so soft thought.

a.     Trust the first thought!  It’s the Holy Spirit!  Trust and follow!

b.     Walk it out in Faith Believing!

#2       When trusting by Faith Believing your steps are ordered and protected!

a.     God’s anointing and protection have us covered!

b.     Walk it out in Faith Believing!

#3       Fear is not of God and we have the authority and power to bind it!

a.      It’s a choice.  We get to choose to Believe God and His Word!

b.     Walk it out in Faith Believing!

#4       There is always VICTORY in Jesus and listening to the Holy Spirit!

             

He loves us and even cares about our animals!

God Loves you!

God Loves you so much!

It was 2006.


I had just began studying God's Word - for the first time in my life. I had received a challenge from a Warrior in Christ / Mentor who saw my spiritual bondage and desired to see me receive God's unconditional Love and Grace.


Up to this point - I had NO IDEA even how to read, study, speak or receive God's Word.


Although I was saved at 10 (in 1980) I was in religious bondage and NOT free. Saved but bound! I was bound by constant thoughts of "was I good enough" - or "had I been too bad" . . . works.


I was sad. I had many thoughts of suicide and depression. My marriage and finances had crumbled and life was a chaotic crazy mess!


The bondage was self seeking and "me" focused. I had been taught that being broke, busted and lack and defeat was being humble before God - me sharing the sacrifice and persecutions of Jesus - AND I CHOSE to agree with those lies.


Lies! Lies! Lies!


I was getting TIRED of being sick and tired and all hell was about to break loose!!


After I had been studying God's Word for about 10 months - I began to "see" that Jesus MADE me . . .

"forgiven", "justified", "sanctified", "glorified", "Loved", "redeemed", "seated in Heavenly places", "fearfully and wonderfully made", "righteous", "anointed", "beautiful", "complete", "powerful", "restored", "brave", "more than a conqueror", "greater", "saved", "born again", "new creation", "chosen", "called", "equipped", "blessed", Christ's workmanship", "His friend", "One with Him", "One in Him" and oh so MUCH MORE!!


Ha ha ha!


Glory to God!


"Who I am in Christ Jesus" was totally opposite of what I 'heard" and "believed"!


Satan is a LIAR!


♡


BUT GOD!!!!!!!!


♡


Then . . .


God divinely ordered ANOTHER Jesus Christ Warrior / Mentor to teach me to SPEAK out loud and Receive God's Word and Promises in Faith Believing!


That "life and death is in our tongue" and if I was going to see God's Word and His Promises manifest in my life - then I had to SPEAK it and Believe it!!!!


♡


It was 2007!


My life TRANSFORMED!


I sensed God wrapping His arms around me!


He said "I Love You, Wanda!"


♡


PEACE overtook me!


His unconditional Love and Grace anointed me!


I Believed Him!


I Received Him!


Like never before!


And from that moment on - JOY has overtaken my LIFE!


Jesus DID it! And I received it!


♡


Freedom in Jesus Christ!


Restored and Blessed Life!


Restored and Blessed family!


Restored and Blessed marriage!


Restored and Blessed finances!


Restored and Blessed health!


♡


Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you SHALL BE SAVED!


Receiving God's unconditional Love and Grace moves you into Receiving what Jesus Christ ALREADY did on the Cross!


And it demolishes the self centered tally list of "do's" and "don't's"!


♡


It's Love!


It's Grace!


It's Joy!


It's Miraculous!


It's Victory!


It's Supernatural!


It's Peace!


And it's Beautiful!


♡


We are WHO God says we are!


We HAVE what God says we have!


We can DO what God says we can do!

Receive His Grace today!

A born-again "Believer" becomes brand new through the Blood of Jesus!

(2 Cor 5:17)

(Gal 6:4-15)

Jesus Christ brought Grace on the Cross FOR YOU!

His experiences - became yours through Faith.  Through Believing!  That's being born again.

♡

If you are born again but yet, "choose" to constantly walk in and focus on what you "do" or "don't do" -  then that is not "Receiving" what Jesus ALREADY did for you on the Cross . . .

It's bondage of "self".  It's religion.  And it's NOT living free!

(Gal 5:1)

♡

Receiving Jesus Christ and knowing what Jesus ALREADY did for you on the Cross - Believing, Receiving, talking about, thinking on, grateful for and walking in that total and complete redemptive Blood of Jesus Christ -  leads to Love, Peace, Joy and Freedom of ALL condemnation and shame. 

Jesus came to Save!   And not condemn! 

(John 3:16-17)

JESUS CHRIST brought Grace and conquered the law!  If that were not true then Jesus Christ died in vain.

(Gal 2:23)

♡

If that statement makes irritation and a "fight" want to rise up inside of you . . . then you have not yet "received" your complete FREEDOM!  You don't receive Grace and His unconditional Love.  You are bound by "self".  "Religion".  "Works".

Oh, yes, you may very well be saved . . .

But most definitely you are not yet living that life of "Freedom in Jesus Christ" that Jesus paid for by His Blood.

Paul told the "Believers" in Galatia . . .

Galatians 1:6

"I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in THE GRACE OF CHRIST, to a different gospel."

♡

Stop fighting it today and Receive it by Faith right now!

You'll NEVER BE THE SAME!

♡

"How do you know,  Wanda", you ask.

Because I once was saved but bound by this very thing . . . "Self". "Religion". "Works".

♡

But NOW!!!!!

I'M SAVED AND FREE!!

♡

And I pray you will be too!

♡

Confess your freedom today:

"i am One . . . who Christ lives in! I Receive the Love and Grace of Jesus Christ!  I am Loved unconditionally!  Jesus Christ gave His life for me and I am FREE"!

♡

Galatians 2:20

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the Faith of the Son of God, who Loved me, and gave Himself for me.

Pray! Then Praise!

What if, in the midst of someone not believing or understanding our calling, even if others choose to bash us and throw us under the bus – we prayed and praised God for the victory in our lives anyway?

In Acts 16 – we learn how Paul and Silas's did that . . . even when their clothes were striped off, beaten and then thrown into jail.

I don't believe there is a person alive - and especially anyone walking out your God-calling - who is immune to this type of rejection from "others".. Here in this passage those "others" were the "religious leaders" or "the church folks".  The ones who reject us because we bring healing and the Good News of Jesus Christ are "bound" . . . even if they are in ministry or in the Church.

Let's look at why Paul and Silas were thrown into jail in the first place:

Acts 16:16 – “As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling”.

17 She followed Paul and us, crying out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.”

18 And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the Name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

19 But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.

20 And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city.

21 They advocate customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice.”

22 The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.

23 And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely.

24 Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.


As children of God, we are called to “be free” . . .

Galatians 5:1 - Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

And to “set others free” . . .

Luke 4:18-19 – “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

Matthew 10:7-8 - Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

This is exactly what Paul and Silas did. They set this woman “free”! She was bound by a demonic spirit. She was not free in "who God made her".

I find much wisdom and revelation in knowing that when we "are setting others free" some who are also bound will accuse and attack us; similar to this very example of Paul and Silas.

But, oh, Praise God! Paul and Silas did NOT let their circumstances alter their Faith. And neither should we. It’s a choice. We get to choose how we respond.

Knowing “Who we are in Christ” is knowing God, His heart and The Word of God . . . therefore POWER!  As Children of God we are Powerful!

We learn by Paul and Silas the first 2 steps we must take when we find ourselves in a similar situation. Notice I say “when”. Although we may not be “literally” in the same circumstance as Paul and Silas but most definitely we will, at some point in our lives, be figuratively.

Action #1 - Pray!
Action #2 - Praise!

See this action of Prayer and Praise as choosing to walk in the power and authority that we already have as Believer is Jesus Christ.

John 14:12 - Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

And not works as “getting” God to move. We already have the Power. The action is our “Faith in motion”!

Mark 11:22-24 - And Jesus answered them saying, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.


To me - one of the MOST profound things in this passage of scripture is their PRAISE!

They PRAISED while they were naked, cold and bloody! If they hadn't had the knowledge and revelation of Mark 11:22-24 then how could they have “Prayed” and “Praised”?  I believe it is because they “Believed that they already received it” (Mark 11:24)!

Cha ching!!

Their circumstance hadn't changed . . . YET!!

Oh, Lordy, BUT . . .

Notice in verse 26!

You ever get a "suddenly"?

. . . "and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison were shaken . . .

There's gotta be a "shaken" folks! You in a "shaken" right now? Do you feel naked, beaten and bloody?

Hang on! Keep Believing! Keep on keeping on! A “suddenly is coming”!



Let's "see" what happens!

:26 . . . And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened".

IMMEDIATELY!

You see that? "Immediately"!

After the "shakening" is an "immediately"!

God will work EVERYTHING out for good when we "Believe”!

Romans 8:28 – 31
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. 29 For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?

When God is for us! No one can win by being against us!!

Let's continue to study and see how Paul and Silas were used to bring salvation to the jailer and ALL his household!

Yeah, the very dude that was in cahoots with their beating.

It's a "turnaround"!

Verse 27 shows that the jailer was going to kill himself. I'm thinking a couple reasons here. #1, maybe because he feared Paul and Silas because of the anointing and power they possess. If when they "prayed" and "praised" and "suddenly’s” were happening . . . how much more "could happen" with this kind of power?

Or #2, the jailer feared the magistrates and police knowing that his responsibility was to make sure Paul and Silas stayed securely in prison. He lost control of the whole mess. Stuff was happening and he had no control! Walls were crumbling and chains were breaking! What could happen to him having failed at his "job"?

Let's see the GREAT that comes from Paul and Silas because they stayed in their calling and showed "Love".  They Believed! They "Prayed" and "Praised" - even though their circumstances were still not good.

In verse 28, Paul says "DO NOT harm yourself, for we are all here"!

What?

Did Paul say, "Hey you piece of horse crap, let me sharpen your sword and help you end your life"?

Whoa!! Nope! No, he did not. Paul showed him "Love"! Do I show that kind of "Love"? Do you show that kind of "Love"? To our haters?  Hmmmmmm . . . ?

Look what "Love" does!

Verse 29 is sooooooo key!

It's a very important message for us who are "Believers". We must get this, folks! We can share the Gospel - the GOOD News of Jesus Christ WHEN they are "ready"! When they are ready to “hear” the Gospel – the Good News!

The jailer didn't seem interested in hearing about "how to be saved" in verse 24:

:24 Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

But in verse 30 he was ready and inquired . . . "what must I do to be saved"?

"Believe", they say. "Believe in the Lord Jesus . . . ", says verse 31.

Verse 32 says, "And they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house".

Paul and Silas spoke, out of their mouth, God's Word! God's Word cannot return void! Ever!

Isaiah 55:11 - so shall my Word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Bam!

Boo yah!

Glory Hallelujah!

Talk about a "turnaround"!

Do you need a complete 360° TURNAROUND?

Hang on! It's coming!

After you have “Prayed” then “Praised”, keep "Believing"! Then speak God’s Word – the Gospel – the Good News!

Yes! If it was good enough for Paul and Silas then it’s good enough for you and me! Speak (out loud) God's Word in Faith Believing and watch you and your household be transformed!

♡

Okay, so let's wrap this up, you want to?

So, in verse 33 we see that "turnaround"!

The very dude who was in cahoots with their beating – is now loving on them and helping them "heal their wounds".

You got some "wounds" that need healed? Yeah, me too.

In that "turnaround" God offers healing.

In verse 34 we see "Rejoicing" because they had "Believed" in God!

That's worth some REJOICING!

This is my favorite part . . . "Rejoicing"!

You ever have someone mock your "Praise" or your "Rejoicing"?

Do you think this jailer cared if someone didn’t like the way he “Rejoiced”? Yeah, me either. So why would we? After what we've come through, and we know “WHO brought us through”?  Ha!  Yeah, so let us just go ahead and “Rejoice”, shall we!

Holy Spirit Happy Dance of Rejoice! Whoop! Whoop!

Verses 35 - 40 continue to show the boldness that God has called us to have. Some think "Christians" or "Believers" should be passive mats to be walked on.

When we are actually created, called and equipped for totally the opposite.



Acts 16:25-40
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,

26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened.

27 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.”

29 And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.

30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

32 And they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.

34 Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had Believed in God.

35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.”

36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace.”

37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.”

38 The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.

39 So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.

40 So they went out of the prison and visited Lydia. And when they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.

Tucker Lives!

Check this testimony out, folks! 

God cares!  

He cares about you!  He cares about your life.  He cares about your family,  He cares about your animals.  He cares for you!

Yesterday (April 13, 2015) we (my friend Lori and I) were driving on our way home from Georgia, from the Daily Audio Bible Women's Conference, when she received a text message from her friend, Lorri, about her dog, Tucker.  

We IMMEDIATELY prayed for Tucker and took BACK his life!  

We prayed a prayer of Faith Believing similar to this.  It is based on the scriptures we find in Mark 11:22-25 . . .  

Father, in the Name of Jesus we have Faith in you, God!  We speak to the mountain of sickness and tumor in Tucker and command it to LEAVE his body in the Name of Jesus! TUMOR you get out of Tucker's body RICHT NOW!  We speak LIFE over Tucker!  Tucker you shall LIVE and not die.  In the Name of Jesus we Believe that we Receive!  We take this healing for Tucker!  We claim it!  We receive it!  It's ours and we take it!  Father, Your Word says in verse 25 that we must also forgive. So Father, we forgive, in the Name of Jesus. We forgive anyone who we need to forgive.  We release them.  And right NOW, we thank You, Lord, for healing Tucker!  We Praise You!  We Honour YOU and celebrate you for the Healing in Tucker!  We thank You, Lord!

Throughout the rest of the drive home (which was about 2 more hours) every time we would think of Tucker we would declare our gratitude to God for healing Tucker . . . 

"Father, we thank you for HEALING Tucker! Lord, we PRAISE You for healing Tucker.  Thank You, Jesus for healing Tucker"!   

You see, Mark 11:23 (NLT version) says "you must really Believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart".

Then verse 24 says "if you Believe that you've Received it, it will be yours".  

It doesn't say "when you see the healing THEN you Believe!  There is a difference!  

"Believing you've Received it"!   That means it's DONE!  

You must Believe that you Received it when you prayed!  At that point, you celebrate the Victory as you "HAVE" it.  Not later on down the road when some day you "might" get it.

                                     ____________________


We slayed that lion!!!  Satan is a liar and a thief!

I Peter 5:8 says this . . . 
"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."


Luke 4:18-19 says "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free. 19 And that the time of the LORD's favor has come."

Glory to God! Thank You Jesus! As Believers in Jesus Christ, WE HAVE THIS POWER! 

John 14:12 says this . . . 
"I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father."

We are VICTORIOUS through the Blood of Jesus Christ!  As Believers we have POWER and AUTHORITY to stop ugly assignments of lack and defeat in their tracks. 

We were created to live "life abundantly" and walking in the Power and Authority in which the Blood of Jesus Christ gave us!

ALL Praise and Glory to our Father, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ!  

Congratulations, Lorri and Tucker!  We Love you!

Praise report!!! God is in the miracle business... even with our beloved pets. So, Tucker, my 9 year old doggie, became very ill over the past few days, and got much worse today. He was in a great deal of pain, and was unable to walk. I had Benny Allen take him to the vet. They wanted to keep Tucker. Later in the afternoon, the Vet called me and said he had bad news. He said that Tucker had a very large mass in his abdomen. His bladder was on one side of his body and his colon was on the other side, separated by this huge mass. He said that even if he did surgery, there would be no guarantee that it would save his little life. I was put in the position to make THE decision that no one ever wants to make. The Vet said he wanted to do one more thing first. He wanted to completely sedate Tucker, and more thoroughly palpate his abdomen to see if he could determine what type of mass it was. He would call me back. In the meantime, I texted Lori Harrison Garner and asked her to pray for Tucker. She and a few friends have been at the Captivating Conference in Georgia all week. She immediately texted me back and said, "Wanda prayed life over him." A few minutes later, the Vet called back, quite perplexed, and said that he didn't know what was going on, but there was no longer a mass anywhere. Because he had sedated Tucker, they had to keep him overnight, but we get our happy and healthy Tucker back tomorrow morning. PRAISE JESUS! And by the way, I have GOT to meet this "Wanda."

Multiplying! Not dividing.

Multiplying!  Not dividing.

Recently God has directed me to make many "changes" in my life.

There is a season to everything!

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under Heaven.

Will we say "yes" to those 'seasons" and rejoice and trust God in those "transitions"?   It is to our benefit to!

Ecclesiastes 3:12 says to "Rejoice" during these times.

If we mourn and fuss and "choose" to be anxious during this time - what good does it bring?
What if we "Rejoiced" and trusted the Lord during these season changes - and Believed that God desires the VERY BEST for us?

I mean, He GAVE His BEST - His Son Jesus Christ! (John 3:16 - 17)   If He gave His best - wouldn't He desire the best for us?

♡

Often times we leave a wonderful group of friends and enter a new group of friends.

God wants us to "remain" in One with the ones of the past season and "enter" into One with the new season of friends

.
Galatians 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all One in Christ Jesus.

♡

Not "Trusting" and "Rejoicing" in the new season would say that there is "division" between these relationships.

God says "NO" that is not true!

God says "I am multiplying you and your efforts, my Precious created, called and chosen - to cover more ground in My Name"!
