I’ve been going through a painful, emotional roller coaster ride these last few weeks…I’ve been taking the time to allow God to deal with the pain I’ve unconsciously kept hidden for so long…but at the same time…I feel excited!
It’s really weird…I may not see the long awaited harvest and FULL manifestation of the move of God in my life right now, but I feel something brewing and a newness in the atmosphere. I see the beginning…I feel the beginning and I’m super excited about it.
I remember a long time ago…about 13 years ago…it was prophesied that I would be working in the ministry of deliverance. I always studied spiritual warfare…but that wasn’t by choice…I had gone oversees and after coming back home, I began encountering demonic attacks, so I had no choice but to seek God and educate myself on what was happening in the spirit and learn how to war in Christ. I never did anything with that knowledge but shared it with the few people I came across that needed help in that area, but always was passionate about that subject…so that desire was pushed to the back burner for years.
I developed a love and gift for writing in the Master’s Program at college..but again, my hectic career and lack of time never afforded me much opportunity to write about the things I wanted to share with people. I prayed and wrote to God many times that my hearts desire was to write a book…but that gift was pushed to the back burner for years.
During my prayer time, EVERYDAY, I would ask God to grant me this request:
Colossians 4:3 (NKJV)
…open to (me) a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ….
After having my daughter Elizabeth, I kept asking God what He wanted me to do besides be a Mother, helpmate to the husband and support to my family. What would be my next career? At times, I became frustrated with God for not fully answering me. I had no concrete answers regarding my request for years…until last year. Recently, God kept sending me to this scripture prior to receiving the call to form B.O.O.M!
Hebrews 5:1-4 (NIV)
5 Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness. 3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people. 4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God….
I didn’t understand it at the time, but God was letting me know something…ministering for the Lord will cost you something! When you carry the message of Christ, it comes at a price. I’ve been through some storms in my life…a lot…but since I started this blog…I’ve been going through the mill and I’ve been feeling some pain…some rejection…some disappointments…all of the above.
When I posted “In Need of Comfort” Part 1, that was gut wrenching pain…that post cost me something…a whole lot…I felt weak and vulnerable…I was hurt having to reflect and write about my loss…I let people in and exposed something that’s so private and sensitive…and to top it off, I’m a really private person, so that was doubly uncomfortable…but after reflecting and praying on it, it was God’s way of helping me to heal…and that post helped so many people as well. That post quickly became the highest read and visited post in all of B.O.O.M!
I never did understand…all of my adulthood…why I couldn’t’ tackle my weight loss problem…I would get close…but never could quite make it to the finish line. Paul said it best:
2 Corinthians 12:8-11 (NLT)
8 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. 9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Continue to join me as I share how the Lord is bringing to pass all the things I prophesied over my life years ago and how He’s turning my weaknesses and delays, into my message. As always, stay connected, be encouraged, continue to fight and Let’s Become Free Together.
