There Is Healing In The Stillness

​Today is day 3 of our fast, and we’re concluding our observation of being still. To recap being still, also known as rapa in Hebrew means to sink, relax, let drop. Being still takes intention and practice. When we are still before the Lord we say no to distractions and allocate our time so that we invest in what is necessary, which is time in the presence of God. In that stillness we receive revelation and healing. 

‭Healing is for each of us in Christ for “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”( Isaiah 53:5) Healing is our portion. Scripture refers to healing as the children’s bread.  Hallelujah! Healing can be a complex subject because it can look different for each person. We know our God can do all things and how He heals each one of us is unique to His specific plan and purpose in our lives. We may not even realize we are in need of healing. But the healing and restoration of our souls is for all of us. For even the psalmist wrote “He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.” (Psalms 23:3

We may be able to identify our wounds, but find difficulty in receiving healing.  And that’s ok. We can all start with stillness. “For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” There it is! When we rest in God and cultivate an atmosphere that’s conducive to His presence we experience rest, confidence and ultimately healing. It is in those moments God reveals who He is and in turn transforms our very hearts. 

May you read and meditate on the scriptures below 

Luke 1:37

“For with God nothing will be impossible.”

Matthew 11:28

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 6:33 

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

Today as we continue to meditate on the goodness of God may we be vulnerable with Him. God knows everything there is to know about us, but He truly wants us to share our hearts with Him. Ask the Lord to show you areas in your life that you need healing. Pray over each area and ask the Lord to strengthen and equip you for the journey. Healing is your portion.

The Anointing Is Sustained By The Holy Spirit

 The Anointing Is Sustained By The Holy Spirit  It's day 3 of our fast and we're concluding our study of the anointing .  To recap, the wilderness is apart of the anointing and obedience is imperative to anointing. Let's conclude with how to sustain the anointing.  We are anointed by the Spirit of God when we believe in Christ, and profess Him as Lord and Savior. We are then responsible for cultivating a life of holiness suitable for the indwelling Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 3:16 reads "don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst." The anointing on our lives is to carry out the plan and purpose of God. Sometimes we walk through seasons that may seem counterintuitive to the fulfillment of the will of God. However those hard seasons are meant for our character development and dependence on our Heavenly Father. How can we presevere in the face of adversity as the children of God?  We cling to our Father. ...

May I learn to Love You Lord... It is day 3 of our fast. And to conclude I wanted to place emphasis on growing in our love and knowledge of God. If we are to be zealous for God, then we have to know Him. And continue to enjoy learning about who He is. Psalm 91:14 reads   because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. Because he hath set his love upon me,  The Hebrew word for set his love is hasaq. Hasaq means to love, be attached to.  God wants us to love Him, to consider Him, and seek Him. He has already exemplified the most sacrificial love to us. Loving God is crucial to victory and spiritual growth. It's a matter of the heart that supersedes tasks. As humans we can get caught up in showing up but not actually showing up in heart. " I attended church, I spoke to that lady, I donated money "etc And although all of these things have a rightful place. God wants our heart to be surrendered and full...

June Fast Day 1

Our focus this fast is kingdom synergy  According to Cambridge English Dictionary synergy is "the combined power of a group of things when they are working together that is greater than the total power achieved by each working separately". This is powerful!  Think about how this is applicable in our christian walk. Before we think about the power achieved in group activities, let us think about the power established in our lives when we profess our belief of God and received the Holy Spirit.  Immediately there is a spiritual shift that takes in place. The spiritual shift is really for our benefit. God does not need us. We need God. And God is gracious enough to not just call us, give us life eternally when we repent and seek Him, but He has also given us authority. John 15:5 reads  I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him , he  bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing . The key to us operating in power is our abidin...
