Greetings in Grace ❀️ Beloved Ones,

Happy new season. We’re a little over a month into the Spring 🌷season and I hope things are springing forward for you and your loved ones. I am excited about the renewing, refreshing, reviving, and restoring that’s breaking forth in/throughout the 🌎 earth. Even in the midst of the worlds darkness God’s grace love and mercy continues to triumph! Which brings me right into the peculiar treasure πŸ’ for this month.

I am so grateful to God that the revealed nature/persons of Jesus Christ is both an anchor βš“οΈand lighthouseπŸ’‘πŸ‘ there to securely guide us continuously. I’ve been reflecting on this during this season where we celebrate the death, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord & Savior. One of the supplications that I keep before the Lord is open the eyes of my understanding that I would know you. It makes me cringe a little when I come across the scripture (Matthew 7:22) that speaks about many coming to Him saying I did “this” in your name and “that” in your name and His response being depart from me, I never knew you.

If there is anything we must return to as a whole it’s the fear of the Lord. This not a cowering fear that causes us to stray away but a respect and honor that causes to πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈrun to, kneelπŸ§ŽπŸ½β€β™€οΈ, and bow πŸ™‡πŸ½β€β™€οΈ before our Holy God. In this we receive the wisdom that leads us to know Know and Understand. One of my favorite scriptures is Hebrews 11:6 that speaks of the importance in believing/Faith in who He is and being rewarded for seeking Him. In a time where so much information is easily accessible to us, it’s easy to get drawn away by distractions that take our attention off the ONE who knows all things, in pursuit of other things.

I’m not speaking against learning new things. 🧠Knowledge is power. However, as a generation we at times become too “smart” for our own good. Impressed with our track record of degrees, skills, and accomplishments all the while forsaking the Truth that sets us free. I love what my Grand Papa in the gospel simply states “Read your πŸ“–bible and πŸ™πŸ½ pray for the understanding.” I’m finding as time goes on with my word journey my heart/eyes are being opened more and more to things I didn’t notice before.

In the beginning was the word! And our Lord Jesus is the Word made flesh, the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. There is no way we can walk in the complete victory God created for us to walk without the Word being at the forefront of our lives. The bible says meditate in my WORD day and night and THEN you will make your way prosperous and have GOOD success (Joshua 1:8). We will find that when we ask God to help us make this a daily practice we receive the instructions, strength, and courage to Win daily. This contending is what the bible calls the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH!

When we do this our hearts/minds become realigned(one) with the heart/mind of Christ so that we can πŸšΆπŸ½β€β™€οΈwalk in manifested πŸ™ŒπŸ½ victory in every area of our life. He(JESUS) is the who, what, when, where, why, and how of our LIFE. πŸ’‘Remember….He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to them that know understanding.

Friend in a world where lose seems to be everywhere we turn, we must get be clothed in Christ/the Word, πŸ›‘βš”οΈ armored up, and ready for battle! Let’s end on this πŸ“note….

Matthew 16:25 AMP “For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake will find it [that is, life with Me for all eternity].”

GRACE LOVE and MERCY,

Greetings in Grace Beloved,

I hope this post finds you well spirit, soul, and body. One of my favorite scriptures to pray when I intercede for God’s people(including myself) is 3 John 1:2. It reads, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou may prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.” This reminds that His plans for us are complete good, and no matter what we face it’s all working together for good, for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. That’s one of the many benefits of being a Kings kids πŸ‘‘ .

So this past month i’ve been meditating on the gifts of God and studying the fruit of the spirit Love. The bible says we are to pursue love ❀️ and desire gifts. Since everything we have received is from love(God) then everything we give/do ought to be motivated by the same. Including the sharing of our gifts. My friend i’m learning this isn’t something we can do in our strength it takes His heart & spirit to love like God. It’s a lot easier said than done, especially when it’s not returned or isn’t received. However, God’s love isn’t conditional.

Fruit check βœ”οΈcheck the ones you could improve on & ask God for grace to): Love is patient ⭕️, kind ⭕️, doesn’t envy ⭕️, boast ⭕️, dishonor ⭕️, keep record of wrongs ⭕️ , isn’t proud ⭕️, self seeking ⭕️, or easily angered ⭕️…How did you do? Not so great? It’s ok let’s just take some time to SELAH(pause) πŸ›‘and ask πŸ™πŸ½ God for more grace.

So I was looking at the scripture that said He led captivity captive and gave gifts unto men (psalm 68:18 & Ephesians 4:8). I am so grateful that God didn’t leave us in our own hands, mans hands, or the hand of the enemy. Instead he defeated everything that came to hold us captive and gave us gifts to fight the good fight. For God is not a man/human, he is faithful in ALL HIS WAYS and WORDS! This is why i’m learning how to put my trust in HIM TOTALLY. Because when we trust Him it causes our hearts/minds to receive everything He has for us and our actions/life to align with it.

See the gifts of God are without repentance, meaning He doesn’t take away His love, kindness, or any other gift He gave us. And because we have free will we can use or misuse the gifts according to our desires. Yet, we have to remember whatever we sow/give into we will receive it back. This works good or bad. The word says if we sow into the flesh(our thoughts/ways) we get corruption but if we sow into the spirit we get life. There is a God purpose/plan/ will/way for our life that we can ONLY get access to through giving God our hearts.

Yes it is going to require us to give up some of our human ways to follow Him, BUT IT’S SO WORTH IT!!! There is nothing we will ever give to God that He doesn’t give us better!! One of my constant prayers is God give me eyes that see, and ears that hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying to His church(us), and a heart that receives/trusts & obeys. The more we seek God through building a relationship with Him, the more we are changed into the image of Himself that He shows us in those moments. Now that my friend is #Goals (Think/Sound/Look like… Jesus)!

XOXO, GRACE LOVE ABOUNDING MERCY

Hiii Kings Kids πŸ‘Έ πŸ‘ΈπŸ½πŸ€΄πŸ»πŸ€΄πŸΎ Blessings Multiplied To You

NOW God has offered to us the same promise of entering into his realm of resting in confident faith.✞✞ So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we embrace the fullness of that promise and not fail to experience it. Hebrews 4:1 TPT

So we have a little over 3 months left of 2020 and what a year it’s been.!? Praying God’s peace and prosperity to you in a time where fear and famine has been sweeping the land. One day in my quiet time I heard the word PANDEMONIUM, meaning wild and noisy disorder or confusion; uproar. The definition so perfectly described our current world situation. Nevertheless BE encouraged GOD IS faithful and ALL His promises are yes and amen (it is done)!

Have you ever experienced a moment or moments in your life where things where so crazy that it felt like you were in a movie? If you have you know exactly what I mean and if you haven’t… that day is coming. The Bible tells us we will have troubles on earth 🌏 but it also says that it will get better. πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸ½ Even when better days doesn’t seem true, IT IS! And when it seems that way we have to seek comfort in our Father, His Son, and Spirit.

Remember suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope (Romans 5:3-4). After we suffer a while God establishes, strengthens, and settles us (1 Peter 5:10). IDK about you but the a while part, at times can be wearisome! During those times I search out and remind myself of God’s promises for my life. God already has ALL the answers, we just have to seek them.

It is truly a day to day (moment to moment) process, and the more time we spend with God, meditating on His word, the less complicated it becomes. That place of TRUST and OBEDIENCE is what the scripture above in Hebrews calls the realm of rest. And oh my friend what a beautiful place it is when we take our eyes πŸ‘€ off us and put them on God! It’s not always easy but by Gods grace it’s reachable. This is why the word calls it the good fight of faith.

Unfortunately many times we fail to enter into rest because of fear/doubt, unbelief, and the cares of this life. However, this doesn’t have to be our reality TODAY friend. Jesus died so that we could live a faith-rest life. When we lose our life (aka trust and obey Yahweh) we gain new life but when we hold on to our life we Lose. Whatever we face He ALWAYS is The (ONLY) WAY, LIFE, and TRUTH.
