Un.Wavering (Be Still)

March 23, 2026March 23, 2026 Kris Joi

Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

Psalm 107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. 36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; 37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

Mark 4:39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

Prayer: Father God in the name of Jesus. Thank you for who you are. Thank you that as we become more aware of who you are and how you are we are changed into the image we see. Let us behold you daily through prayer and meditation. You’re good, all the time. Help us to encounter and receive your goodness & grace in Jesus name. Amen.

Dearly Beloveds,

I pray this finds you well. And I just want to encourage you that God’s got us whole heartly. Maybe you’ve experienced a lot of disappointments, setbacks, slip & falls, struggles, and hardships. But I want to encourage you and I to fear not, God is in control. And guess what He can be trusted. He sees all, knows all, understands, and already has provided a way of escape. All he requires of us is to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him (see Micah 6:8). And what a joy it is. Sometimes we carry the weight of so many things but God doesn’t want that for us. He says cast your cares. Yes we will suffer on this side of glory. For various reasons. But we can count it all joy because we are redeemed through Jesus Christ.

As humans with bodies we are often searching for something we can see, taste, hear, feel/touch with our natural senses to satisfy & secure us. But there comes a time when God will require us to completely trust in Him and Him alone. Take our eyes off everything, deny ourselves the pleasures of this world, and take complete delight in Him. Life is filled with distractions. Things that come to take our focus off of God and draw us away from Him. The enemy of our soul works overtime to distract us from our purpose (worshipping God in love). The whole bible is summed up into two commandments. Love God and Others as Ourself.

We talked about love in the last post. Let’s read the scripture in 1 Corinthians 13 about love and jump in. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8 Love never fails.

In this season of my life I’ve been working on my love walk by drawing closer to God. What about you? The bible says we love because He first loved us. When we spend quality time with God He loves us. And from this we can pour out as He fills us up. In seeking (SEE KING) Him He reveals His nature, character, and thoughts toward us. It’s up to us to meditate on that versus the noise inside & out. God wants to and will quiet the noise if we let Him.

Once the noise is quieted we can hear. Sound interpreted correctly will give us an image or mental picture/perception. The bible says we are changed into the image we see. This is why the word of God is so important. The only thing faster than sound is light. When the light is on, darkness is eliminated. Darkness is defined as evil but it’s also defined as ignorance. Ignorance means to not know something or someone. This could be intentionally or unintentionally. God wants us to know Him and understand His ways the more we know Good the more we are aware of what’s evil (See Hebrew 5:14). My friend we need wisdom, understanding, and knowledge (spiritually & naturally). And guess what God gives us access to them all if we ask with a poor spirit (a humble desire to know for the reason of becoming better).

This is why we must learn to guard our gates and hearts. We do this by allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal to us who or what we need to take our natural eyes & ears off so we won’t be tossed to and fro. For instance things/people that provoke us to sin (miss the mark). Ask God for wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of the who, what, when, where, why, and how. Remember small disciplines and adjustments lead to big change. He may say remove this from your diet, talk to this person, listen to this, don’t watch that or go there, etc. (See Ephesians 4:14-16) The key is to walk/talk with God daily, read/rehearse His word, sow into our spirit, and be led by Him.

He knows us! Trust & Obey Him! Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord His God. Psalm 146:5

Peace & Love,

E. Go (Ripe Harvest pt.3)

Hey Ya’ll,

Let's Pray. 🙏🏽 Father God in the name of Jesus thank you for a new day, another chance to give you glory, and for being everything we could ever need. Keep your hand of favor upon us. And in seasons where we find ourselves outside your good graces thank you for a way of return. Thank you for unconditional ♥️love, ever enduring mercy, and sufficient grace. In Jesus name Amen.

Ehhh. Have you ever had a moment where you have so much to say that you don’t know what to say or where to start? Well that’s where i’m at right now in this moment. I’m reminded of a post I did before where I talked about Holy Spirit making groanings 😩for us (see bible Romans 8:26). So after a women carries a child for 9 months she goes into labor, and it’s not only hard, but painful. You may be wondering, sis what does that have to do with anything you’re talking about? Well natural birth and spiritual birthing are a lot alike. 🗣️Let’s talk a little about spiritual birthing.

When God gives you an 💡idea, assignment, word, and purpose it’s liken to a seed. He places it in your heart/mind to receive water and nutrients so that it grows. And depending on the type of seed it is it will grow and produce after its own kind (when tended to properly). This is the same process in natural birthing. Basic biology says cows produce cows, chickens produce chickens, and a 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒man & women produce a boy or girl. This process is called the reproduction process. In order that offspring would be brought forth.

For the sake of time & space I just want to focus on offspring (Read all Colossians 1 w/ focus on verses 10-20). 📖 Because God is VERY concerned with what we produce. In fact He has entrusted us to take care of that/those which He has given us. Contrary to popular belief we are not self made. Our life really isn’t our own, and neither are the things we own. You may think how is that? That’s my car, my house, my children, my money. Just as the saying goes my, my, my. 😨That’s exactly how I feel about anyone who believes and trusts in themself as self made. Wake up call. If God decided to not wake you up today, you would be as they say now a days unalived.

But so many of us do what we want to, say what we want to, go where we want to. This generation is a DIY (do it yourself) kind of culture/society. Well friend that’s ok for an arts & craft project but not for your life. It’s really not a game, playing russian roulette and uno with your life is crazy. 😵‍💫I don’t say this to scare anyone, but it’s dangerous out here in these streets ya’ll and the bible says it’s going to get worse. Now is high time. Get in church, get in God, read your bible, build a relationship with God. Come as you are (He does not care about your bad ways) just don’t stay as you are. Let God help you!🙌🏽

I’m speaking from experience. I tried living life my way long enough to know. IT DOES NOT LEAD TO LIFE. 🛑Being stubborn, mean, disobedient, arrogant, high, and mighty will lead to destruction, disaster, and death. We don’t get to live how we want and think that everything is going to be ok. 🚷No. That’s not how this works. We follow God and then everything is going to be ok. I speak this way because I care about your life and future. Whatever’s blocking YOU from God LET IT GO!

I always hear 👂🏽 people talk about Grace. Well His grace is sufficient but not unlimited. Remember He gives grace to the humble. If we are lifted up in pride (what we want) we won’t receive grace (unmerited favor). The only requirement is humility. No ego’s allowed. You will be surprised sometimes it takes a good test/trial to reveal just how out of alignment we are. Think of it this way. 🦴If your bone is out of place it may be painful to pop it back in place initially. But short term pain beats long term pain. Imagine walking around like that forever and never taking the necessary steps to recover. OUCH. Let’s end in scripture.

Hebrews 12:11 No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening– it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. (New Living Translation)

Peace & Love

Lord Have Mercy

October 20, 2023October 20, 2023 Kris Joi

2 Samuel 24:14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.

Greetings in Grace Beautiful Ones,

Hope this message finds you well. I am overjoyed when I get the opportunity to come and connect with you via God’s word. Not only when I’m sharing but also when I get to read 👩🏽‍💻 your posts as well. It’s such a blessing to be able to connect with my sisters and brothers all over the world. Regardless of physical location, situations, circumstances, demographics, or administration we are God’s masterpiece and a beloved family, Glory be to our Lord & Savior Jesus! 🙌🏽

I want to continue in the vein from a few posts ago, dealing with the mercies of God. Psalm 100:5 says “For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.” The word everlasting in that verse means enduring through all time, eternal, always, constant, and relentless❤️. Bible hero David had such a revelation of God’s mercy. When looking up the number of times mercy is mentioned in the book of Psalms it is noted a total of 99 times. In fact the book of Psalms uses the word mercy more than any other book in the bible.

In the passage above (2 Samuel 24) David makes a poor decision to number Israel & Judah (God’s people) and is dealing with the consequences of his misbehavior. 😩 He is faced with having to choose whether he would suffer at the hand of God or at the hands of man. In verse 14 he petitions to be given over to God’s mighty hand and not man’s. This is the same David in the book of Psalms who stated that if he ascends into heaven or makes his bed 🛏 in hell God is yet there. He knew that there was no place nor condition he could ever be in that God wasn’t present.

One of my favorite scriptures to pray 🙏🏽 is 2 Timothy 2:13, if we are faithless he is faithful, he cannot deny himself. I remember a season when I was so overtaken in depression that it felt as if there was no way I’d ever come out. Even in moments where we are suffering, and unable to see Him, He sees us 👀 and already has a plan in place to bring us out. Regardless of if we caused it, know it, believe it, or see it. This was revealed to David and caused him to proclaim FOR HIS MERCIES ARE GREAT!

In the post “Mercy Mercy Me” we talked about repentance and God’s pity on us, remembering that we are yet clay. However, I wanted to pivot a little and focus on two other elements/synonyms for mercy, kindness and favor. I don’t watch the news much, but every now and then for prayer purposes 📺 I chime in. And my friend it often leaves me feeling a sense of heaviness. It breaks my heart 💔 to see how callous and cold this world has become. Even sometimes during my daily adventures, I encounter others that seem to have no compassion, conscience, nor consideration for others, and it saddens me. Nevertheless we (you & I) must command our souls (mind, will, and emotions) to be of good cheer…. God is near/here!

The word kindness is defined by Oxford as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. So even in a mean, stingy, selfish, and inconsiderate world that IS NOT how GOD is to usward. I don’t know about you but that makes me glad and geared up to be benevolent like our 🥰 Father & Friend! The revelation of God’s lovingkindness is such a comforting & conforming element of His nature that it encompasses every other thing working against us (inside & out)! This is why David could not be moved to cause harm to King Saul even though Saul had set himself out to kill him. A man indeed after God’s own heart.

In conclusion friends I want to encourage you to be encouraged and look to the hill’s from which comes our help. God IS a very present help in the time of need/trouble. After we have suffered a while HE will strengthen 💪🏽& establish us. Let this mind me in us that was also in CHRIST JESUS, who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God but made himself of no reputation. He was obedient even unto death (even the death of the cross). Rarely will a man suffer for a good man but HE died FOR US when we were yet sinners AND that we would have life (and have it more abundantly)! On that note friend… LIVE!!!

XOXO …Grace Love and Mercy 😘
