Encourage My People


Encourage My People

I have been hearing the words 'Encourage my people' and I have been asking God - how? What can I do?

I can only give you what I have and because of what God has given to me I have had a great peace since this whole 'virus' started.  I know in my heart and spirit that God's Word is the highest authority about all things.  I pray that the words that I share are an encouragement to you.

 I received this word which I have recorded on the 30th April 2019 and was thinking in my own head that it was about the Brexit situation - and how that was going to effect our nation.  But regardless of what lay ahead, the instruction from the Holy Spirit was to stay close, stay hungry and thirsty after the presence of God and His Word.

We are very privileged to live in these days, God is about to do something so amazing.  Many times over the last year, I heard the Holy Spirit whispering "Are you ready?"  with a strong sense of excitement  - in the same way we would say to our children when we have a surprise for them.

Many times I found myself answering "Yes Lord, I want to be, but I'm not sure if I am ready". As I felt urgency and great sense of how important his plan was and at the same time feeling 'I don't want to miss it or mess it up'.  But He would gently remind me that its not in my own strength, but His.

Since this 'virus' started many have been quoting the promises of Psalm 91 - but we must remember that the key to the promises are in the first 2 verses which says   "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust."

When we stay, remain and dwell in the secret place -in His Presence - we will be protected and we will say "He is my refuge and my fortress". 

 I don't know how God is going to turn this all around - BUT I DO KNOW that He will and I'm excited to see how he does it.  Be encouraged today that God has a great plan and you are part of that plan. xx

God is Good - HALLELUJAH

God is Good ALL the Time - HALLELUJAH This is a song we often sing in church - I love the words - but I'm so glad that the songs we sing aren't just about good words and catchy tunes - but they help us to express the wonder and gratitude to our Almighty Father and creator, and Lord and King.  How wonderful it is to be lost in Awe of his majesty, and wonderful and amazing love. When we consider that he has forgiven us and called us his own, we cannot stay silent but yet words fail to express what we feel.  So our whole body is moved - our hands raise up and our feet want to dance. I used to live in a house where my kitchen window looked out into the back of other houses - and one day I was singing this song and dancing in my kitchen, when I suddenly noticed that my neighbors (the 3 children and the mother) where all standing at their upstairs window watching me - at first I thought I should stop but I didn't because I really didn't care because I am not ashamed of ...

Rejoice Ahead of Time

Image
To Rejoice Ahead of Time really is faith in action, because as we believe and receive we begin to rejoice in spirit that what we are believing for is on it's way now - that our prayer has been heard and has been answered.  There is a great expectation that something is going to happen - we don't know how or where and in what way things will change but like a child waiting on a surprise we are looking and listening with excitement and expectation.  This kind of faith is not easily shaken.  Even more bad news can become a stepping stone under our feet that lifts us up even higher and enables us to reach even deeper into the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  When we allow ourselves to Rejoice and to be Thankful to God for answering our prayers it pleases the heart of our Heavenly Father and brings joy to him.  It is this joy that strengthens us to stand strong.  I used to believe that God would answer my prayer or heal me etc some TIME in th...

Will you Allow God to Carry you?

Image
Many times when I am writing these blogs, I feel people are saying "it's ok for her to have faith, or say those things, but she hasn't experienced what I have experienced" I also feel it sometimes being a praise and worship leader, that people think - She must not have any problems in her life to be able to praise that way she does.  But that isn't true, there is no-one without their own trials and troubles.  The truth is that I have learned that the bigger and harder the trial the louder and stronger I will praise my God - because I always want to remind myself and keep before me that God is bigger and greater than anything else.  Plus I am very aware and very grateful that it is only his because of his Grace that I am still alive and able to praise Him. Yes, I am blessed that I was brought up in a Bible Believing home, with faithful praying parents.  Parents who taught me the promises and truth of God's Word.  But that did not exempt me or my family fr...
