A Supernatural Touch from God


            I have a confession to make.  I had been struggling emotionally in the last few weeks.  I could give myself a dozen scriptures for every negative attitude I was having.  I was trying to preach myself back to a place of hope and faith, but I just couldn’t seem to get my head up.  I confessed my downward spiral to a few people.  We always need people in our lives that can speak into them like few can, but I was still struggling.  I knew I needed to renew my mind.  My family and I have been through a lot in the last few months.  Certain situations haven’t turned out yet the way we’ve expected them to, but some things have worked out.  Yada yada yada, God is faithful, but sometimes when expectations are not met the way we think they should be we all have a tendency to have a moment.  I hadn’t been in such a low place for a lot of years.  I know I’m being crazy transparent here.  But we’ve all gone through these moments in our lives.  Maybe by me being so real, it’ll help someone who is struggling realize that they aren’t alone and that God is faithful no matter what situations may appear.  I know God’s on the other side of this.  I know God is able.
            A pastor friend of mine invited me to a special church service on Friday, and while in Praise & Worship I had a supernatural encounter.  I don’t need to get into details with what happened, but what God spoke deep on the inside of me was exactly what I needed to break me out of this rut I’d been in.  It was a moment with God.  God knew what was going on, and I am so glad to say that I’m doing much better now. 
            So many people live under the delusion that God doesn’t speak to people, or know/care what is going on in people’s lives.  So many people live under the delusion that God isn’t a personal God.  But, I can assure you HE is.  He cares about your every thought.  He cares about what you are walking through.  He loves you so much he even knows how many hairs are on your head (Luke 12:7).  He’s been there as you’ve cried.  He will NEVER leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

           

John 10:27 (NIV) 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

           
God’s voice may not be an audible thing all the time, but he SPEAKS to HIS people. Sometimes it could be in a song, in nature, and most importantly in HIS word.  He knows how to speak to you in such a way that you need at every moment.  He knows how to break us out of our wrong thinking.  He knows!  I’m thanking God that He spoke to me in a moment I needed to hear.  One touch from God, is worth more than anything.  He speaks to you too.  All you have to do is ask, be open to hear, search Him out. . . He wants to speak to you!
God has awesome plans for your life.  Get excited!

***I will be taking the week off.   My kids are starting virtual school this week, and we may be going somewhere for Labor day, so I’m going to take some time off. . . and also give me some extra time with the Lord this week.  So I love y’all, I’ll be back with a gusto next week!

....And I broke the Pickle Jar

Image
Last week my oldest daughter came running to me for help. I had just bought a new jar of pickles and she could not open them up. Surely, Mom could do it and this was going to be an easy thing. I sometimes wonder how they get those lids so tightly on jars in the factory. I was not going to pull the wimp card but I could not get that lid off. I tried banging the bottom with the palm of my hand. I saw someone do that once. It did not work. I tried twisting it, and it would not budge. I even tried getting a butter knife and breaking the seal by trying to wedge it between the lid and the jar. Nothing was working. Dan was not home and even if he was, I really hate admitting when I cannot do something like this without his help. I was going to get that jar open! Finally I took the opposite end of a butter knife and whacked at the lid. I thought a couple smacks would make the jar open, and it did. Evidently, I do not know my own strength. With the sound of breaking glass crackin

Lessons Learned In The Pruning Season

Image
  People in the church often have a misguided notion that God always operates in the timing and the way that we think He should.   His Word is quite clear that His ways aren’t our ways (Isaiah 55).   The longer I’ve been pursuing a life in the Kingdom, I realize that God is really into times and seasons.   Often one season may look totally different than another season.   Nature reflects this so well.   Winter and summer may look completely different, but they each serve a purpose.   It’s important to discern those seasons.   The sons of Issachar understood this too (1 Chronicles 12:32). It’s important to trust God in those seasons and be able to recognize that God is faithful no matter what a situation may look like.   We often like to talk about the exciting season.   We all want to hear words about harvest and the manifested promises.   We all love to hear stories of the faithfulness of God.   What about the season that things appear dry and dead?   What about the seasons where

Don't Fall For the Fake Jakes!

I hope all of you had an awesome Resurrection Weekend! He is Risen!! Several weeks ago I had someone claiming to be T.D. Jakes begin communication with me on twitter. At first I brushed him off thinking there was no way he was the real T.D. However this individual was persistent. We began exchanging a few direct messages back and forth. He then proceeded to invite me to go with himself and several other ministers over to Japan to preach over there. That was when I told him to email me at my website email. The conversation continued. At first I didn’t believe at all this was the real T.D. Jakes. However the more we exchanged emails the more I really thought it might. His phrasing on how he worded things sounded like the real T.D. The text emails were coming from Texas, and it was obvious this man spent a long time familiarizing himself with T.D. and his website because of the way he wove legitimate things about the real T. D. into the conversations. This went back a forth for several we
