Ok. So you may have noticed I've made a few changes here...new name, layout,etc. I've had some time away from blogging and have come back rejuvinated. As my fellow bloggers might relate to this, I thought I'd share...I started blogging with the idea to share my testimony and encourage other women with what I had learned from my own experiences. Good idea...until I came to a place where I felt I had nothing left to offer..no riveting revelation and no great thought to write about. I was in a lull, a drought. All I could see was the circumstances that surrounded me and got my eyes off of God. It says in the Bible, "the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away, Blessed be the name of the Lord". God does not change just because we face a difficult situation in our lives. He is still God. A minister in my church said yesterday, "All Hell's breaking loose around me, I must be on the right track-Plow through!". The devil's messing with you to try to break you, because he knows your victory is right around the corner and he wants to take that from you. What a testimony you'll have then. Think of the souls that will be encouraged by that victory. You are SO close to the finish line. Don't quit. It's very easy to get our eyes off God when trials come and all we focus on is the trouble-"Lord, what am I going to do, how am I going to get out of this one, I just don't know..", sound like anyone you know? What happened to our faith? He's still God. His word does not change. He said it, that's all we need to know and claim it. If we have been given the gift of the Holy Ghost, then we need to take the authority God has given to us and speak the word to that situation. Pray over your families, your finances, your jobs, your homes, etc. In this end day, we can't allow our minds to get sidetracked or we'll start to backside. It happens little by little and soon you'll find yourself away from God saying, how did I get here. Don't let that happen. Keep your mind stayed on Him. There's too much work to be done, too many souls to reach with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Get busy doing something for God. Idleness certainly leads to spiritual trouble. Wherever you are, whatever place you find yourself to be, use what you have within you, be that willing vessel to be used by Him. Make a choice and follow through with it, as the minister said yesterday. Do you know what God has planned for your life? If not, make it a matter of prayer. Let's start stirring up the gift that he's put within us-the Holy Ghost. It was not given to us so we could just sit and do nothing with it. Stir it up in you. Let it flow out of you to help others. Stay on fire for God. If you don't use it, you'll lose it, as they say. Have the faith to hang on through your trial and have immovable faith. God said it, that's all we need to know. It will happen. Believe it! Take Him at His word. Stand on the promises of God that cannot fail. I'm so thankful for a church that preaches the word of God and tells it like it is. a "feel good" gospel will not keep you. We're fighting a battle in this end day, a battle for people's souls. Many battles you're facing are not physical, but spiritual. We have to fight them spiritually and we need to know how to do that. If you're facing a struggle in your marriage, family, finances, etc, look beyond the surface, and take it to prayer. Fight the battle on your knees. It's the only way. You'll see. Thanks for visiting my blog today. I hope it was encouraging to you and that you'll come back again. God Bless You Today. Tammy
