Inspiration, not Intimidation!
Based on Jeremiah 22-23, Titus 1
"and say, Hear the word of the LORD , O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:"
Jeremiah 22:2
When God inspires us to spread His Word & speak it into the lives of others, we don't have to be intimidated (even if that person is a king, like in Jeremiah's case!). We can just keep boldly sharing The Word, because no matter what happens to us, God's Word will have the final say & prevail!
"And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD." Jeremiah 23:3-4
There will always be a remnant that will listen. God will inspire us. He will lead us to them. When we receive & rely on His Spirit, we will have a deeper inspiration which allows us to overcome the intimidation of others! We will be even more able to build faith upon faith instead of fear upon fear! That doesn't mean we will never struggle, but we will have more supernatural strength!
"holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers." Titus 1:9
Hold to His Word! Not just for a moment. Not just for a thought or reflection...but as an inspiration to speak boldly to those who need to hear it! Even if it's a king, government official, or our neighbor...we don't have to be intimidated! The giant fell for David, and we can expect the same results! God's Word has the most power!

Surviving the Peace Plummet
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Peacefulness is the toughest muscle there is, and exercising it only makes it stronger. However, it proves to be the most difficult to keep toned & honed consistently in our lives. Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...
A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
The Heart of the Struggle
Focus Scripture: But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19 Hello again! It's been about 4 months since I've stepped back into this space, and I have to say, I am taking very gentle steps. It's been on my heart so much to write again, but I am treading lightly. I may not post every day, unless God leads me there again...but for now, I am just moving forward in God's grace. I have some blog ideas stored up that I've been saving over time as I reflect upon His...
