When I was a little girl, I was coined as independent. My own mind to do what I wanted, when I wanted, stubborn even. It’s uncanny how those years of a life manifest in older years. When I look back on certain times where I made choices that placed me in situations…some not so good and others that brought me good…in choosing the best course of action, I can honestly say God was with me. I didn’t know or realize it at that time but being a woman of God today, I do.
Having been introduced to the realities of the differences in race, color and culture, I was God’s. He groomed me. When I made poor choices and found myself in a pickle, He was there holding my hand and guiding me through. I could have been dead more times than I care to admit.. but God’s plan for my life, saved me. I can recall the Holy Spirit giving me counsel. I ponder at times, how having a praying grandmother was a true blessing. She showed me her faithfulness in prayer and was who everyone called when they needed it.
Fast forward today, I too have become faithful in prayer. God has shown me that I am a prayer warrior and has made me an intercessor for others. I intercede and He hears me! That blows my mind. But God will do that, He showed me what I couldn’t see without Him. In this world and in my prayers, I know God is raising up an army of prayer warriors. Those who will praise and place Him above all else believing for His mercy and grace until His return.
I have come into the knowledge of His power at work within me. The power of Jesus and the blood shed for us, His people. His almighty, endless and compassionate love has placed us in a time where prayer is needed. Not to get the things we desire, but for His glory to be fulfilled in a world where love seems lost. We trivialize love in all that is thrown at us because we don’t understand true love. We feel love and when we can no longer feel it, we give up. I have learned that love is more than a feeling. He tells us that love holds no record of wrong and I know firsthand that forgiveness can be hard. We are called to forgive. Just as Jesus did when He walked this earth.
It’s a wonder to me how generations past have laid down seed for this world today in which we find ourselves yearning for acceptance. Nothing has changed and we continue to dig deeper in falsehoods that create confusion for the answers we’ve already been given. Television programs that promote sex, drama and lies. Social media platforms that enforce anger, hatred and self satisfaction.
It’s a wonder to me how the world continues to evolve in pagan beliefs and the church passifies it with the sign of the times. The church has fallen but God. Perk up and listen, cuz faith comes by way of listening to the word. We need more prayer, more fasting, more believers who have the courage to stand in truth. God is awesome, in that, He tells us to not be dismayed, not to be discouraged for He is with us. That means walk in fire, trusting you will not get burned. Dream big, be bold in prayer, come and receive what He has already anointed for those He has called. God is a wonder to me. I will never truly know Him in His entirety and that’s ok. He has given me a warrior spirit to help others realize their’s too. I can ponder but I cannot afford to stop moving in the direction He has shined His light for me to walk in.
I am thankful for your love. You are my wonder Lord whom I place my life. Have your way and continue to lead me in the way everlasting.
