The Pursuit

-

 Matthew 6:33 (TPT)

"So above all, constantly seek God's kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly."

Psalm 139:23-24 (NASB)

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way." 

Psalm 27: 8 (NASB)

"When You said, 'Seek My face,' my heart said to You, 'Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.' "


    The answer came to me, "Pursue Me." After sitting here, blubbering, crying, praying, and worshipping, two simple words meant the world to me. These words, via Holy Spirit, convicted me and straightened me up; like right after the parent disciplines the child and then proceeds to tell you to "straighten-up", "wipe the tears off your face", "go clean your face", etc., that's exactly how it felt. Two simple words that brought me back to what God originally told me in the first place, bringing me to a place of repentance.

    God led me to Matthew 6:33, centering my focus back on whom it needed to be. It's real easy to become distracted with everything and everyone around you, but I love that God is so peaceable and gracious to hone you and reel you back in from Crazy-Ville. In turn, if paid attention to, these areas in life reveal where work and growth is needed. I sing, "You take control God. Oh, Lord you have your way," but not knowing fully what that means until I truly need God to take control, get out of the way, and let Him have His way. I literally, from what Holy Spirit gave, wrote about God's hand being shown in a way that no one could doubt that it was Him. Well, how in the world will that happen if the control is not released to Him?

    Don't get me wrong, and my spirit can testify and knows this very well...God is releasing big, big, BIG blessings and breakthroughs; areas in people's lives they've been praying on and for, God is answering to perfection...and then some. Scriptures that Holy Spirit always leads me back to:

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)

"So shall my word that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

Numbers 23:19 (NASB)

"God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent; has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" 

    My spirit feels and knows, without a doubt, the constant breakthroughs in the spiritual realm. I feel it so strong of a lighter and brighter side of the coin being turned, so regardless of what I see, my focus never wavers. It honestly leads to the real question, "What, or who, is your pursuit?" Don't lose your focus! Don't allow the busyness of this world take you away from the One who created it. Don't even allow the enemy working through individuals become distractions. Focus! Where there is focus, there is peace, and where there is peace, there are answers, and where there are answers, there are solutions, and where there are solutions there is wisdom. 

    I do not claim to know every thing, but I do know what God tells me and what I sense in the spirit. Stay true to the pursuit of Jesus Christ. The true and living Savior, from where all else (or less important things) flow. This is the only foundation on which we stand.

***Let's Pray! 💓 Thank you Lord, for you have been faithful. We don't even say this in past tense, but in present, past, and future. We know you created them all! We thank you for your patience and discipline when it comes to your children. Continue to keep us grounded in the true foundation of Jesus Christ, our rock and fortress. Lord, break down our brick walls we have built up over the years against you, when we thought we were just protecting ourselves from others. Lord, we truly surrender to whatever you want to do in our lives. Father, we don't want to jump ahead of your plan and timing for us, so let us be sensitive to your moves and actually be okay with that. When you move, we move. Lord, when you speak, we speak. We also acknowledge and praise you in advance for the victories you have already completed. Our fear of you Lord registers to us the fact there be no room for doubt within our spirits. Let us come before you not wavering in our faith, but rest-assured that it is already done. So, Lord, this is our praise report and declaration of those words which you have already spoken over us. Thank you Jesus for your faithfulness! In Jesus' Name---Amen, Amen, Amen.***

  The use or the administering of drugs Poisoning Sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it Metaph. The deceptions and seductions of idolatry Revelation 18:23 (KJV) “And the light of a candle shall shine: no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”  As a nurse who truly believes in the healing power of Jesus Christ, I do struggle with handling and administering drugs to my patients. At the same time, I’m praying for their bodies to be completely healed and delivered from the spirit of death or whatever else is currently attacking their bodies. We don’t always know the decrees over someone’s life, but from what we see, we can always pray against it.  “Am I poisoning my patients? Am I a partaker of witchcraft?” These are the questions that try to run through my mind. I...

Weight in the Waiting

Hebrews 12:8 (TPT) “We all should welcome God’s discipline as the validation of authentic sonship. For if we have never once endured his correction it only proves we are strangers and not sons.”  What a pleasure it is to wait When you know what is being done When you know, realize, and appreciate God’s handiwork How He’s adding, subtracting, dividing all for your good It may hurt to wait But what a pleasure in the end to see the fruit of your labor To see the weight that has been added Through mantles, glory, and the more To see new uniforms, weaponry all for the moments ahead What a pleasure it is to be in the waiting room The waiting room to analyze, to study, to meditate, and to pray To fast, to discover, and to (most importantly) build a relationship with Jesus What a pleasure What a pleasure it is to sit back and observe everything God has already done And continues to do And is in the process of doing It’s done! It’s not in who can get there faster It’s appreciating the proce...

Mass Unveiling

  “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.” (Joel 2:28-29, KJV) “For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.” (Luke 12:2, KJV) There is such a massive unveiling; unveiling of peoples’ hearts, minds, eyes, perspectives, language, and the more. This unveiling is bringing such a sobering and humbling effect to everyone’s viewpoint and perspective of life. Even those who are not saved and don’t believe in Jesus Christ are being “unveiled” in a sense. They are seeing things and the facts of life from God’s perspective without even knowing it’s from Jesus! We were made from and in the image of our Father in heaven. We have the same attributes as Him; more and more people across the globe are com...
