HE WILL NOT FAIL ME

In my quit time today, I was reminded how the enemy uses the spirit of discouragement to get me to quit. Since I was a little girl, I have learned to fear and protect myself from most things. Its an automatic response in me. It's like those commercials we see and they are standing on the big red circle, and the actor says oh yeah I am there. Well I am afraid of failing God meets God calling me. I am there. I feel God is wanting me to teach his word, I am not saying to large groups but to teach a bible study. And I am saying YES!! In 1 Corinthians 2:3 Gods word says I came in my fear and weakness. I am claiming this verse and speaking it aloud. My fear of not being worthy, of what others are going to think, and the biggest of all, failing him are taking back seat. Because I now have the fear of not wanting to miss him. I am praying for the door to be open. I just do not know where to begin, but I know this for sure I am going to begin. God word says HE WILL NOT FAIL ME!!

I praise you Jesus

My last night of Study in Believing God was last night. Bitter sweet, but loved this study. In the last week of study, we had to do a time line of all the events in our lives. How great, small, good, bad, and the ugly. It made me see all the God stops in my life from the sweet age of four to now. GLORY TO MY MOST BIG GOD!!!! I could not go to sleep. I was worshiping with music at 12:30 at night. Crying, praising, such a sweet time together with Jesus. And then as I am uploading pics to my blog site, I see this video of my son. And I am praising with my son while he is playing in his worship team at church. Man,oh man, my God is awesome. What a experience!! What a ride!!

Seeds Planted

Today in my bible study time it asked me to reflect on family members who had the most effect on early seeds of Christian Beliefs. My childhood is not one that I like to take a stroll down memory lane. But when this weeks study is done, I am hoping I will see all the God Stops during those times. The precious memory, is when my oldest brother, went through a struggle in his life. I don't know the circumstances of it. But I do remember him crowding me my brother and many other children in his van so that he could win a bible. He wanted and desired the word of God. He cried when he won it and I saw then how emotional he became, the hurt flowing from his eyes. It was then the Lord started stirring thoughts of Him in me. It took many, many years and a battle with God before I became to love the Lord. But then as a child he was there, showing me he was real. Thank you Jesus!!!
