Greetings!
We are in some trying times right now, and a lot of folks are fearful of what tomorrow may bring. We are afraid to go out and afraid of staying in. We are fearful for our finances, our jobs, our children, our families...of everything. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, of love, and of a sound mind."
What made me think about that this week is that I am deathly afraid of snakes. I love the country, but I am always afraid that I will see a snake. Mostly, snakes will not come out in heavily populated areas. Ok, my mind may know that, but my body is not so sure. Anyway, recently I had a dream about a snake, and in this dream the snake came out and I saw it, but instead of running like I thought I would I grabbed it by the neck and threw it down on the ground and asked this man that was standing nearby to chop his head off. But, here's the crazy thing....I kept replaying the scenario with different people killing the snake. I still grabbed it by the neck, but I was asking different people to kill it...some were family members, and some were strangers. I don't want to get into the spiritual meaning of dreaming about snakes in this post, but what God revealed to me was that I am no longer bound to fear.
Oh my goodness...that is so huge for me. I have operated in fear for most of my life, and although I would do it afraid I wanted to know what it felt like to NOT be afraid, and God gave me that. God answers our prayers. I would read 2 Timothy 1:7 and believe with all of my heart that I had been set free, but something in me still doubted it...but not anymore. I know what is feels like to be fearless. I saw myself taking authority over the thing I feared the most and I am not going back. I HAVE BEEN SET FREE. Praise God!
When Jesus went to the cross, He not only took all of our sins with Him, we were also set free. Now we just have to walk in it.
Until next time...
Be blessed

Fill Me Up!
Greetings!
I don't have a lot to say today. I just wanted to share with you what God is sharing with me. God needs us in this day, at this time, for this cause...to lift up the name of JESUS. God is looking for a remnant. A people who are sold out to Him. A people who want to do it differently. A people who are not afraid to ask Him to, "Fill me up, Lord."
Today, many churches are celebrating Pentecost. This is how the Book of Acts describes Pentecost, "And when the days of Pentecost were drawing to a close, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a violent wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them parted tongues as of fire, which settled upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues, even as the Holy Spirit prompted them to speak (vv. 2:1-4)."
You can read the whole story in Acts 2. It is an amazing story that tells the depth of the love God has for us. Not only did He send His Son to die a death He didn't deserve. He also sent us a Comforter who would continue to be there to help lead and guide us. What an awesome gift. I pray for the infilling of God over all of His children. I pray that we lose our inhibitions in Him and that we come to Him thirsty for a new revelation of Him. The time for playing church is over. There are people who are lost in this world and don't even know it. And we...the people of God, are being called to help spread the word that Jesus still saves.
Don't be afraid to share Him with those who don't have a relationship with Him. God will give you what you need when you need it.
Until next time...
