Revival of One? or Many?


For too long God's people have listened to the enemy.  He whispers to us when we are most vulnerable "you are never going to get better"  "You will never find the man or woman of your dreams"  "You will never get out of debt"  "Your life doesn't matter"

But God's word says differently.  Why do we listen to the creator of lies when we have a Heavenly Father ready and able to give us all He has promised in His word?

2 Peter 1:4 
 "And because of His glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises.  These are promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption cause by human desires".

How awesome is that?  He has GIVEN us great and precious promises.  Not just a few of us.  Not just the good looking people, or the healthy people, or the wealthy people.  HE has given those promises to all of us. So why aren't we walking in them? Is it because we haven't taken time to read His word and learn what He has promised us?  We need to store up in our hearts the word of God so that when Satan attacks with lies, we have the Word of God as a shield to protect our hearts and minds.

Are you tired?  Matthew 11:28-29  "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you WILL find rest for your souls"

Are you struggling financially?  Philippians 4:19  "And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus".

Overwhelmed?  Proverbs 1:33 "But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm"

These are just a few key verses in a book filled with God's promises.  No matter what you are going through, God has an answer for you in His word.  How do you find it?  READ IT!  Spend time with Him.  Commune with Him.  

The picture at the top of the page has a quote from "The Storm Inside" by Sheila Walsh  I am one of those ragtag women.  God is raising me up and calling me to say Yes to His promises and no to the lies of Satan.  Do you want to join me?  Are you tired of listening to all the negative things in your head.  Get out Gods word and meditate on it. 

If you were sick you would take medicine.  Consider God's word the medicine for your soul - a soul that is worn, tired, broken, trampled on.  Let it seep into the crevices of your heart and soothe away all that is causing you pain and heartache.  There is a revival going on in my heart.  Wouldn't it be awesome if this year more and more Christians stood up and took back what Satan has stolen!  God is calling us to listen to His Yes!
