Delayed Obedience Is Disobedience

How many times do we say God use me or God what do you want me to do? Then, he speaks, but we fail to act on what he instructed for us to do. Simply because what he asks of us seems foolish or out of our comfort zone. I don't know about you, but I am so guilty in doing this. This conviction is something that I need in my spirit because I need to grow and mature in my walk. Being obedient is vital to our walk. It is the only way faith can work as well. When we are looking for breakthroughs and miracles, they're tied in with obedience. Each time in the bible everyone had to be obedient to receive anything. Jesus, showed us the power of obedience, faith, and prayer as he took the cross.

It was his prayer in the garden of Gethsemane that was the true power of obedience. Just think about if he delayed or didn't take up the cross in that specific hour. You see with God everything has an appointed time. You don't want to miss the window in that hour that he is trying to bless someone through you or bless you. We must be swift when hearing from our father when it pertains to an assignment.

I want to share with you a quick testimony of my delayed reaction to what God had instructed me to do this week. I was watching a conference and after the conference, God spoke to me and told me that the Pastor who had preached at the conference is suffering from what my daughter had. He told me to reach out and let her know, how he healed my daughter, with the instructions he led us to do for her. He also told me to tell her that, he is opening her womb as well as healing her. Now, let me just say this, the person if very influential. I have been instructed through others (prophecy) about how God told them that I will be ministering to many people all over the world and people in high places as well. Still! I let fear and doubt enter my mind. I started saying things like, what if she thinks I am a nut job. Not to be funny but there are a lot of nut jobs out here proclaiming Jesus. What did I do? I did things my way and prayed for her and decreed things in my bedroom but never reached out to her. By the way, we have had a dialogue through social media in private on a number of occasions, so it wasn't like I couldn't do what he asked.

Yesterday, as I was scrolling through social media the young lady posted a testimony sharing her story how she has what God told me she has. Instantly I felt convicted and to be honest cat had my tongue, which does not happen often to me. I was embarrassed and ashamed of myself. Little things like this are the reason why I am not seeing growth in my ministry. I let fear of her position and who she is to stop me from bringing her the good news from the Lord. Now before you get the judging. I want you to stop and think about the times you have been delayed in your obedience or just was downright disobedient in what Christ asked you to do. Make a long story short, I ran and the room explaining to my daughter on what just took place. After she shook her head at me she said, "well go be obedient and do what God told you to do."

I reached out to the young Pastor and she replied thank you for your obedience.  How easy was that? Why did I play myself, like I am not a true woman of the Lord? Why did I let her publicized position make me intimidated in my God-ordained walk? Fear and Ignorance is the only real explanation of my madness.
 
The bible is clear on letting us know that God ways are not like our ways or his thoughts like our thoughts. ( Isaiah 55;8) We must stop hindering our breakthrough moments of being used. You never know will it may lead you. The best news that a woman can hear that her womb is opening and I was scared to release it. Sad facts, I thank God that he felt my conviction and repented heart of the situation and allowed me to rectify the situation. His grace and mercy is sufficient.

I pray this will bless you and encourage you to never delay or be disobedient. My delay at that very moment was disobedience and I will never want to do it again. I am coming to realize that kingdom living looks crazy to many and is just not the ordinary walk that many others have. You know what, I am now, ok with that. I really wouldn't want to have it any other way. I got to be used and learned a great lesson all at the same time. What a mighty God we serve!

No Matter What!

No Matter What! Life will throw you some major curveballs just to see how you will respond to it and God will seem silent testing you to see if you have enough faith in him. To be honest the whole ordeal can seem overwhelming. You may feel like me at times and want to pull all your hair out. Confused and scared to make the wrong decision, this is the moment I suggest you breathe and ponder like I do. I stop everything and pray and wait to get revelation on what to do. I have learned from Abraham and Sarah that when I feel hopeless and inpatient not to make a swift decision that can birth an Ishmel. The anointing does come with a price despite what churchy folks try to say.  I say this because now you are being attacked by the devil and his minions. You're fighting flesh that all of the sudden resurfaces hard and your emotions seem out of wack as well when you are pursuing purpose. I may not have all the answers, but one thing, I am confident in,  Jesus is real and ...

Your Life Can Change In Seconds!

Your Life Can Change In Seconds Close your eyes, inhale and exhale now open your eyes, that is how fast everything in your life can change for the better. We serve a God that is a waymaker and a miracle worker. It only takes one word from him. However, I must be honest with you. If you are not prepared for the abundance that the suddenly will cause then you are doomed. You see, I feel like we should be preparing ourselves for what we are praying for. We should be confident and educated in what we are desiring from God. Preparation will forever be the key to our success. I want to encourage you to be praying for wisdom and understanding so you will know how to handle whatever comes your way. This will allow the blessing to never be a burden. As your life changes in seconds, you will be able to carry the weight of the miracle. I think about Paul and Silas chained and bound in jail as they sang hymns, the prison doors opened. (Acts 12;3-19) You see that was a sudden breakthrou...

Release The Grief!

Release The Grief! The pain that we endure by people we love is the most painful experience ever. I don't know about you, but I can feel it in my bones and my heart aches when experiencing this kind of pain. Being hit from a blind spot not seeing it coming from that individual. I don't know if it hurts more because we didn't expect it or because who the oppressor is, either way, it hurts. As I am growing more each day spiritually, I am learning it cost me more to dwell on it. I push myself to show that person love and not the phony cordial type, I mean the same ounce of love before they offended me. People are not obligated to treat me in an exact manner that I expect. That is my expectation for them, not theirs. Don't get me wrong I expect respect but when a person offends me, most of the time it's because they didn't do something that I wanted them too. Some cases, for some people, it can be very different and traumatic circumstances. Still, when you think ...
