Tests and Delays

Tests and Delays

Are you being tested
Persevere

Are you stuck in delays
Persevere

Delays and Testings form in us a tenacity 
to walk on water through every difficulty we'll ever face

Delays are inevitable
It is a powerful tool used to produce endurance
and
To develop character in us, His elect

Even in times of urgent prayer
Delay may come

He's looking for transformation to come
Transformation to take place in our heart

He's looking for us to trust Him
To trust Him past the point of safety

Beloved, it's not that He is reluctant to answer 
It's the perfecting of our faith 
He is after

He vindicates those who cry out
Those who cry out "Day and night"

Luke 18: 7 & 8
"And shall God not avenge* His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge* them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"

It is wise to note that His delays are divine and in no way is He on the same time table as we His elect. So just go ahead and trust Him knowing that perseverance produces character and character, hope. Romans 5:4

Blessings, Hope and Peace be yours,

A Threatening Storm

  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when we got to the final appo

Reset  Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved... Lord Clear my spirit of the invasion of my soul and it's soulish, selfish ways. It  seems to be my default. Your ways Lord, your high and lifted ways, seem unreachable this morning; and then you whisper, "It's the distractions of everything around you that wants to carry you away from my presence." "I know Lord, I'm fighting to stay, to surrender it all." Then I remember, this battle is yours not mine, this battle to just be still in your arms. "Oh my beloved, how can I live in this torn up world and not be distracted by all the noise?" Take me away my bridegroom King, set me atop the mountain of your heart, deafen my ears, and reset the default of my heart to your voice alone. The Bridegroom King 5)Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved. When I awakened you under the apple tr

The Miracle and Gift

  The Miracle and Gift Even the very first Christmas was a very busy time... Bethlehem Joseph and Mary Shepherds Angels and more angels Everyone was in the hustle and bustle of registering for the census, not even realizing the most amazing happening on earth was about to take place. Traveling to their destination of Josephs hometown to register for the census, Bethlehem was buzzing with people crowding the city streets. Angels hastened down to earth to a shepherds field  Shepherds hastened off to see Let's hear Luke's account... "An angel stood before them in the middle of the night..." (it seems babies love to come in the middle of the night) first blinding them with light and then more angels came and a   concert began ! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.  Although Christmas is still a very busy time, not many seem to want to hear the account of the  multitude of heavenly hos
