God is my strength, I will not be afraid

l asked the Lord how I would be able to lead a Recovery Ministry and he gave me Psalm 107
Psalm 107:2 NIV:
'Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,' and
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my Salvation." Isaiah 12:2-3
So, I am just going to go for it.

I was so concerned, but God..

He showed me His promise after I prayed:
2 Samuel 22:33-34 (WEB)
33 God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.
34 He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.

I don't have to worry, I don't have to fret, and I don't have to be concerned about things not working out. I will not fail because he strengthens me and He's steadied me. God provides all the strength I need and the power I need to do His will. I can 'walk out' His purposes and plans for my life. What plans and purposes are asking the Lord to make happen and to help you with?

A Watched Pot Never Boils

I hear the Lord speaking to me to remember this and be patient.  Doubts are like lifting the lid and checking to see if the waters hot yet. It just continues to simmer because the heat is let out time and time again. So, since I know God is faithful and His promises are "Yes" and "Amen", this is the day I stop watching the pot.

ASK, KNOCK, and SEEK

Matthew 7:7-11
7 ``Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 ``For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
9 ``Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?
10 ``Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?
11 ``If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!


Praise God, He's good. agree?!  What is it that you ask for, need, that you want God to do for you?  A greater anointing? More peace? A pay increase or stronger relationships?  How about marriage and children (shout out to all the singles!) I am not going to hesitate from going to the Father for EVERYTHING from this point on.  If He has something else in mind for me, He will gently remove any desire that is not in line with His plans and purposes for me.  I do not think we need to preface our prayers with, "IF it's Your will Father, I would like this or that."  James 1:17 says that, 'Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow'. So I am going to just ASK, KNOCK, and SEEK.

Commit your plans to Him and HE will do it!

It's such a relief to finally say, "Yes" to God and to let Him take control.

Proverbs 16:3

The Lord is on my side..

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
PSALM 118:6

Whenever I tremble or begin to feel anxious about a poor outcome to a trying situation, I take my concerns to God in prayer and He's already there - He's already provided the answer and comforted me. He's Faithful!

Psalm 18:32-34  the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer  and set me secure on the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
