This morning, I’d like to share a word with you that the Lord shared with me in prayer as I was sitting down to begin my Bible study. It was a word that was flowing through my heart, from the pen which took a turn similiar to the way that we read through the books of Psalms, when David would speak through his writing, the Lord would break through and begin to speak. This frequently happens to me in the silence of the secret place. So, I’d like to share this word with you to encourage those of you that it applies to.
Now, it would be irresponsible for me to release any type of words, sermon, or encouragement without some type of notification that sometimes the words aren’t for everyone because everyone is not in the same place. You will never find me making blanket statements as if each thing is for each person because everyone’s in a distinct place.
Meanwhile, some people are not saved at all, and the unsaved might read these messages and think,
“What is going on?”
But I will say this: in close to 10 years of writing millions of words for the community, the Lord always has something for someone, and the message of the gospel is paramount.
The Lord is calling all of those who are suffering, lost in their sin, to Him, and I encourage you to go through many of my writings and find a gospel message.
There’s one tagged at the top of my page, and I pray in Jesus’ name that your heart softens to the beauty of repentance so that you can be saved and delivered from all of the things that are chaining your heart and your lives.
But for others, this message today is for those who can relate to what the Lord had spoken to me in regards to the work that has been done in isolation.
Those of us who have been hidden, set aside, and doing the work with the Lord know that it’s been very difficult for ten to fourteen years, yet none of it is wasted.
The Lord is giving us permission to move forward. And as Isaiah 43:18-19 reminds us,
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Meanwhile:
Our Father is saying to embrace the work that has been done and the new season that is coming.
That said, this morning’s prayer led me to reflect on the subject of moving forward.
So, whoever you are and wherever you stand in life, straight ahead is the healthiest place to face, while never disregarding the present and implementing the past as a measure of mercy towards others.
You see, we often hear that God is not in the business of wasting, whether it be your heartache and pain, betrayal and sacrifice, or your obedience to take the sorrow on the chin and the sickness of your own sin. Jesus forgives us, and when we do the work to heal Jesus calls us to use these time-consuming experiences as a guild mark for the mercy and compassion He showed us during the isolation seasons to show others suffering now.
And for those who have been overlooked and underpaid, shunned and cattle-whipped for obeying God to seek godliness over fame and titles those who agreed to be separated from the world to hear God’s voice accurately.
The Lord is speaking to us that these ongoing moments of suffering and every trial faced have a purpose, sculpting us into vessels of His love and grace.
Each challenge and tear, including the mistakes we made and the injustice we’ve encountered is not in vain; it is part of a divine plan designed to refine our character and deepen our faith.
We overcame in Christ!
As 1 Peter 1:6-7 reminds us, “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
Embrace the process, for it is through our struggles that we grow stronger and more reflective of His love in the world.
Into His image.
As Romans 8:28 assures us, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Embrace the journey, for it leads you closer to Him and to the calling He has placed on your life.
Philippians 3:13-14 also says:
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Now it’s time to raise your voice, void of the weight of the injustices and difficult years it takes to become whole in Christ, to share that revelation with a world in need of sound counsel and instruction on how to do the same without fear.
Today is the day that some of you have prayed for in the isolation seasons, and although the ground feels shaky, because stepping out of the comfort zone can incite a feeling similar to someone afraid of heights, and you’re looking down, and your knees are a little wobbly.
The Holy Spirit says, ‘it’s okay’; the ground is solid because your foundation is in Me. Move forward.’ says the Lord.
The gospel of Matthew 7:24-25 reminds us, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
Beloved, the root is deep, the platform secure, unshakable; in fact, it’s so strong that onlookers are amazed at how far you’ve come in Me.’ says the Lord.
‘You bring a great deal of reflection to many wondering, “How did she do it?”
‘Now is your chance to tell them, to teach from a place of experience and not opinion, a blueprint and not a hoax.’ says the Holy Spirit.
‘The world is in need of what you carry, and in Me, My child, you will carry it far. It’s not to say there won’t be roadblocks because although you’ve changed, there are many people not ready or willing to change, and so there will always be some level of opposition to My truth, but today you are whole and healed, transformed and transforming lives to live in My freedom, says the Holy Spirit.
As 2 Corinthians 5:17 states, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
Today is the day to take a step or two and cross the bridge. The Lord says, ‘ I gave you the vision for a reason, and the tides represent the turn of a lifetime. Embrace it, enjoy it. Pray and publicize My Name before the nations.’
‘Tell them what I’ve done for you, and leave the rest to Me.’ saith the Lord.
In closing:
Psalm 96:3 encourages us, “Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.”
And for those of us who wonder where our provisions will come from to build these networks and do what the Lord is saying to do, we continue to pray and trust that the camels are coming.
That’s what true faith looks like. It’s built on the truth and trust in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
As Philippians 4:19 assures us, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
We hold on to the promise that He will provide for us as we step out in faith, believing that He is our source and sustainer.
Trust in His timing and His plan, knowing that He is faithful to fulfill His promises.
Much love and truth,
Sister Christine ♥️
