Ignited…

I am on a healing, recharging, revealing season. I had forgotten or I guess I didn’t want to acknowledge where my walk was compared to the past few years. I knew starting into this new year I needed to pray diligently for what God wanted for me vs what I wanted to do, the way I was living life. I had put God on the back burner simmering… whoa, yes simmering. I just got this visual how we as parents tell our children to do things, often times over and over again and we simmer. We resonate in it. Some parents have a lot of patience for this, others boil over and unfortunately some throw up their hands in frustration and give up. How powerful and amazing to know we have a Father that stays, nudges and if we are allowing ourselves to look shows up daily reminding us He IS right here waiting.

I struggled a lot over the last few years to fit in. Why? We were not created to “fit in”, we are made in His image and we are to shine! We are to be different from the world around us. We are to walk in His light and authority. Remembering in every circumstance we are representing our King. He resides inside us and when we are not allowing Him to shine, our walk to represent our belief and love of Him…well we are keeping Him trapped, caged, stifled. We are controlling Him and His powers because we are choosing the world. We are not walking in obedience and respect to Him, Our Father.

Yes, God has closed doors. Yes, situations that used to be comfortable have become uncomfortable where I used to fit in is now uncomfortable and awkward. Yes, I am the “religious” one… no I’m not that… I am radical for my belief and love of Our Father, The Lord. I owe Him my life, when He first created me in my mother’s womb and then when He nudged, knocked, allowed me to fall into trials time and again until “until” I surrendered. I was born again, baptized in The Holy Spirit. I chose to choose Him again and again and again. Was it, is it pretty? Perfect? Easy…easy that is the word easy!!! No, no, no… not at all. Out of all of that… we, as believers do not create the “uncomfortable” in others … His light is trying to reach them. Wow..

My life with Him is a daily choice. One I have missed, one that the spark got relit a few months into last year through now. The fire has been relit! It is flaming. The desires of my heart are His! Again do I stumble and fall? Oh yes absolutely yes! Thing is I get up repent and try to make each day, each circumstance better than the last.

This took off in a totally different direction than I planned but there again He did the writing I am just the vessel.

Where our earthly world is headed we need, we must not allow ourselves to become distracted or dim our light. We need God more than ever, we need Warriors warring, intercessors interceding, people people praying…

It is time to ignite… to shine … to be the change not just the voice. We are the change when we pray in unity… again we need God! He won’t come and be evident without people walking in hope, faith and love.

Be blessed my friends ❤️
