“Calm the storm within your own life.” #Holy #Spirit #Love #Sanctuary


Exodus 25: 8
“8 Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.”

God is dwelling among us right now.  I believe the minute we have received the Lord Jesus as our God and savior He comes into our lives, living within us.  We are set apart and we need to be reminded that God chose each one of us.

Remember God called you by name, you are His.  We are sealed with the Holy Spirit and that makes each one of us different and Holy.

It is my heart’s desire to draw near to God each and every day.  I want to become more and more like the Lord Jesus, and I know I have the ability.  My challenge is practicing and focusing on this each and every day.  I don’t want my relationship to be a religious practice and I don’t want to be someone doing everything out of habit.  My habits are almost set in stone, I stick to what I am used to.

Over the weekend I received a word from God telling me to “Calm the storm!  Turn back to the Lord Jesus.”  I have been so busy with all kinds of things, cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, washing, and ironing.  The list goes on and on, I am physically tired when I go to bed.  I just don’t seem to have a 5-minute break, I am constantly moving. 

May you “calm your storm” today and turn your focus back to the Lord Jesus.  Build a sanctuary for the Lord God to come and inhabit.  Let God take residence in Your life, life with you and make you holy. 

Prayer

O Lord God, as you instructed the Israelites to build You a sanctuary so that You could take up residence with them and be in the midst of the Israelites, today we pray.  Holy Spirit comes and take up residence within our lives.  We are living stones and we sacrifice our selfishness to You asking to forgive us.  In Jesus Holy Name.  Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
