~Devotion From The Heart~

Another wonderful day God has given us not just to live but to serve Him and the needs of our brothers and sisters. Ministry starts at home first and I'm glad God is giving me a much needed balance in that area. I am enjoying my honeymoon and the joys of parenting our children and having time to sit and spend time with them. I have been changed by this experience in a good way. It's really been life changing to learn to step into the role God intends for me to have as my husbands help meet. I don't wear the pants, he does and I enjoy seeing him in his place. For any woman struggling with her husband:

1. Hold on to Gods unchanging hand in prayer, fasting.
2. Make your spouse your best friend
3. Do not talk to anyone but Jesus about your problems
4. Lift your spouse up in prayer and yourself too, seek Gods face to give you revelation about what you need to change to grow in love and grow spiritually
5. Stay in the Word of God, all of His Word, it's good to find scriptures that pertain to your situation as well.

I have been in the Word like it's nobody's business lol. I have been blessed to be able to read the new testament and now in Deuteronomy (No I'm not Bragging). I have however learned that sometimes we get too "busy" and forget to maintain that personal time with Jesus. It's a lesson well learned so thank God for seasons even if in the season you have to decrease to raise up your family, they are the ones who will be at the funeral when you die. Others may forget you no matter how closely you served with them in ministry but, family will never forget. God bless you~DNA

Blessed.... Don't take it Lightly

Blessed. That is an amazing word that sometimes we take lightly when we are staring adversity in the face. As long as we remember that God has blessed us to wake up, we are blessed. We may not have all we want but, we have all we need for where we are at this present stage in our lives. “Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” Luke 12:6-7 KJV.  God knows what He is doing, today when you feel overwhelmed take it to Jesus and tell Him all about it and watch how He works it out for your good, Romans 8:28-
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  When you keep your eyes and mind in the Word of God you have no choice but to not just feel blessed but know that you know you are blessed!  Joshua 1:8- King James Version (KJV) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.  Meditate on God and the things that He speaks on in His Word and your day will go much better.  Philippians 4:8- Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. The Word of God has all the answers, think on these things. I love that, we don't have to be bound up by worldly thoughts or worries, we can think on the things of God and "Think ourselves out of a mess"! Isn't God good?! Love you all and be blessed on today as we all learn to rely more on God than ourselves and what is happening around us. Be blessed~ DNA

One Month

One month with the Lord alone in His presence, one month alone with the Lord to hear His voice, feel His touch, and know His motives behind His merciful love. To God be all glory, honor, and praise, I love to lift up His name and give Him the praise. He is the Alpha, Omega, my beginning and my end, I hang on every Word from His mouth every vision from His thoughts, the glimpses into my future and others He allows me to see. I am thankful for His boundless and loving mercies. New daily are His Mercies for us and new daily should be our Mercies for each other. Sometimes we look at the seed form of the man and judge him or treat him bad, when all along God sees us for who we are and what He purposed us to be. Mighty in His eyes man, woman, and child we must learn to come to Him in child likeness to get the fullness of His love and mission for our lives. Before we were in the womb He knew us and predestined us not just for us but for others as well, it's not about you, me, or our motives, it's about giving the one true and High God our hearts, minds, and souls to mold to shape and to make totally His. His love His eyes gaze into our souls and know everything about us already, stop trying to hide who you are and show Him you are ready to dive in deep...deep calleth to deep do you hear Him calling your name, He wants to raise you up for His glory because you are destined to reign not just to get by, He created you to have all your needs met and to have more than you need to give to those who need more. Your gift isn't for you or a select few, it's to be shared with everyone to impact them each in only the way God intended them to be reached by you. His will and His way's are not ours but get into that place where He can reveal them to you and they become a part of your life. God loves you so stop being in strife.
