God is saying to someone to choose Faith over Fear!!!🙌🙏❤

I don’t know if you have ever been in a hopeless situation where you felt like things would never get better, but God is saying that sometimes it will get worse before you receive the answer to your prayer.

In these moments we feel like giving up and throwing in the towel because it just seems like too much to bear. This is the easiest thing to do, but you can’t give up. Why? Because God still has a great plan for you and me. I know you're having thoughts like why me and am I the only one going through this? I’m here to tell you that you are not alone and because you're a part of God’s family there is always hope. Our situations will try to dictate to us what we must focus on. The Bible says that faith is our WEAPON. When doubt and unbelief try to pull you in another direction in your thoughts you have to stop, think, and pray. Pray that God will change the things that you are struggling with.

“Pray that God will help you not to doubt and activate your faith to believe that he is making a way even when it seems like there is no way out.”

 'above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 'Ephesians 6:16 says to use the shield of faith so that we can quench all of the fiery darts the enemy is sending up against us. It is the devil's job to try to make us feel hopeless and unsure about the things that God has already told us he is doing in our lives.

We can’t give the devil any credit or allow him to steal our hopes, dreams, and destiny from us. This week I was faced with a huge challenge that I feared would come back and when it did I had no choice, but to cry out to God for help. I had to believe God and tell the lord just like Peter did while walking on water Lord please HELP ME!

See it’s our faith that will help us to see past our circumstances and challenges. Allow your heart to guide you with the choices you need to make in your life. Your heart will always tell you the same things God is telling you to do. So if you have been contemplating whether you should keep writing the book, finish the course you began, go back to school, look for a new job, find better relationships, go on the cruise, or just start over again.

“Do whatever the lord is placing on your heart because that’s where our spirits truly lie within us.”

Don’t focus on the numbers or even what people may think about you. The most important thing is that you obey God and choose to follow your heart. Did you know that God wants us to be confident that we can hear from him? Well, it's something that God wanted me to learn from myself in my relationship with God. Many times I would hear God speaking to my spirit about something and I wouldn’t listen. As a result, I would fall into things that I never intended to be in. My heart was telling me something I needed to do, but I questioned it repeatedly until things got so bad that I had no choice but to do what God had placed on my heart. Right now I know and can’t question what God wants me to do anymore. The things that God wants to do make me fearful of the what-ifs. I have questions like Lord what if no one shows up, what if I'm not as successful as I think I can be, WHAT IF NO ONE BUYS MY BOOK? Then the lord spoke to my spirit JUST DO IT AFRAID! Just do it even not knowing what the outcome will be. When God told me to start this ministry it sounded crazy to me and didn’t make sense at all. I had no money, no website, no vision, no direction, no resources, and no anything. 

“All I had was a word from God and that word was to JUST START.” 

So here we are 3 years later and the lord is telling me and you to start and he will do the rest. We don’t need to have all the answers because God will reveal them over time as we step out in faith for our purpose. I just started crying toward the very end of this blog because I have come a long way from where I first started. God will always be saying start until we take that first step. I pray that this blog encourages you to choose faith over fear. I do feel led to pray for the person who is lacking faith and who is feeling hopeless and has nowhere to turn to Father I pray that you would speak to that person's heart and encourage them to start on whatever it is you have told them to do. Let them know that all they have to do is just take the first step and God will do the rest. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen.
