The Secret Closet - Moments with Abba

The discomfort of your destiny!! Keep moving forward, despite wanting to just give up because if there wasn't something amazing in your destiny then the enemy wouldn't be trying so hard and God wouldn't have given you the strength to persevere and overcome.

With God, delay is not denial, just the process to a better version He has planned for you! Keep your eyes focused on Him as you go through the process! Don't allow the seed of bitterness to take root because it isn't coming together the way you want or fast enough. Believe He always has a plan and there is much pruning, strengthening and learning that happens that is meant to equip you for what lies ahead. Don't despise small beginnings... bricks are built from crushed rock, sand and other tiny particles. All things will work for your good. Get excited by the future while enjoying the present and ALL God is doing in your life

Whether you are a non believer or a believer there is nothing you can do to make God love you more than He already does! We are saved by grace, and made righteous by faith. Let your focus be on being pleasing in His sight through obedience, a clean heart, pure hands, and submission to His perfect and and acceptable will for your life!

It was easier for God to get Pharaoh to let His people go. The struggle was for the people of God to let Egypt go. When you come to Christ everything is made new, he removes your sin as far as the East is from the West. However, you sit and beat yourself up and hold on to guilt and shame! It sounds cliche but a lot would get easier if you just learn to let go and let God! God changes the heart in a moment the rest is up to you! Keep trusting God not just the outcome!

The solution existed before your problem showed up, because God went ahead of you, and prepared a way! So keep pushing forward and walk in your sure victory!

We are called to walk by faith and not by sight. It can be unnerving to walk away from stability and the known into the unknown. Many would rather stay in the known even if that is not to their benefit instead of making a decision to step into the unknown because they can't see what comes next. This mental state leads to stagnation. The good news is that no matter where you end up God is already there and He will never lead you where He has not made provision, and His grace cannot keep you! So need to keep hesitating, go on, and take a leap of faith!

There is a concept of love languages that speaks to how people want to give and receive love, and of the 5 a person has a primary love language. Similarly, there are different methods that you can communicate with God, such as prayer, worship, praise, fasting, and the Word. While you should use all methods, it is most likely that you also have primary language(s) which becomes your access key. Your key(s) are used to usher you into the presence of God and open up your spirit to receive from Him. Your primary access key is also aligned to your gifting. So spend some time identifying your primary language as you deepen your time with Abba.

While God can use your pain for purpose, He doesn't give you pain to produce purpose! He has promised to work all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Your gift will make room for you. God's promise to you and call on your life will cry out in every situation. Your pain is a distraction from your promise. As you choose to press towards promise despite your pain you build spiritual stamina, strength, and authority. Everything you overcome, you have dominion over, equipping you for purpose I encourage you to press past your pain where your promise, and purpose await!

God promised to never destroy the earth by flood and to seal His promise He put a rainbow in the cloud. When the clouds form the rainbow is a reminder to us, and it is also a reminder to God of His promise. Gen 9:8-17. God has put something in you and on you, and He has made promises and covenants with you. You may keep reminding God of them but what will He see when He looks at you that will remind Him of the agreement He has with you? Cornelius' life and prayers came up as a remembrance before God. Mordecai's faith, integrity, and loyalty were a remembrance that caused the king to call for the history books. May our lives be a living worship, and testimony, may our days be pleasing in His sight, and cause God to remember us!

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal.... Set your mind on things above. Success requires having the right information and using the right tools. I know a lot is happening in the natural, but I encourage you to dig into the Spirit for understanding, strategy, and peace. Create an atmosphere and mindset that enables the Holy Spirit to interrupt your thoughts. Feed on the things of God as this will become the language in which God will speak to you. I was sitting here engrossed in work and found myself humming a song. Never forgotten, never forsaken, never abandoned, not for a second. I haven't had a chance to listen to music in days, so I recognize this was sent to comfort and support as I face what is swirling in the natural. I encourage you to create space today to receive what God has for you.

I am walking through a familiar, unfamiliar season. It carries with it uncertainty, busyness, fatigue, and frustration. It's unfamiliar because I don't have the answers, I don't always see and feel God, I don't always know what to do, and it requires more of me, a new dimension of trust, submission, and faith. It is familiar because I have been here before, not in this exact scenario but in a place with the same feelings, and thoughts, and I know what worked and didn't the time before. I am reminded that God did it before, and He will do it again, and that I don't need to have the answers or manifest a solution! There is nothing God cannot do, there is no mountain He cannot move, His Words cannot return void, and He is for me! I am encouraged to keep moving forward for God has already made a way for my good and His Glory!!

Jesus didn't promise that you wouldn't go through trials and temptations, however He has promised to never leave or forsake you, He will fight for you, He is standing with! So the current season might seem like a strong wind, like that of a hurricane or tornado and it feels like you don't have the strength to withstand it. Let this be your reminder and declaration, you may bend under the pressure but you will not break or be uprooted. You will stay firmly planted in the truth and power of your Deliverer, Savior, Father and Friend!! You will come out stronger than ever on the other side of this!!

There will be no Thursday live tonight. Enjoy one of the previous lives and remember to walk in victory and believe that all things are working for your good as you commit your ways to God

It is easy to bask in the Blessings of others, sometimes we even covet that which is bestowed to another. I have learned that the fruits are a result of someone's labour in the vineyard. That their testimony is built on overcoming their test and trials. Many of us would never want to go through the intense and lengthy labour or the trials that came before the Blessing and the Testimony you are now a witness to. Be thankful when someone else is rewarded, use it as motivation as you go through your own valley, knowing that God's promises are true and if He did it for them He will do it for you. What is yours cannot be taken away and God will not give you what has already been promised to another. Your Blessing is sometimes connected to your attitude and your Praise!!!

I got this song in my spirit.....
I will Bless the Lord at all times. He has done great things for me, I will Bless the Lord!

This is my declaration, my boast, God is good! I have tasted, and seen, and now I will Bless the Lord!

Psalms 34
