God’s plan – My Grace Untold

Your Stage Is Set (ii)

“Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them,and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more…”

1 Chronicles 17:9

I was reminded not too long ago by the Spirit that sometimes, we have to go back to crawling in faith before we can be suited to walk fearlessly in faith.

And I may not know the state of your affairs today, or how tired you really are from limping one day to the next to get to where you are going, but the Lord your God asked me to remind you today to remember the greatness of the One you serve.

You can wipe away your tears, or let them fall till there is none left, but God says joy is coming, and your faith will not be put to shame.

God did not need your help to place that unique greatness inside of you. He planted it there for a reason and it shall not wither and die by His grace.

There are no auditions or scripts needed to fill your divine place that God has set for you. So stop changing costumes everyday pretending to be what you are not to get to your stage.

He will fill your mouth with the words to utter, so stop practicing the language of the world to speak the wisdom of heaven.

He will gather your thoughts and grant you the wisdom for that next dimension. So stop borrowing ideas from lesser minds of man that try to compete with the Higher ways and thoughts of the El shaddai!

He will pour out new strength and power in your bones to awaken your body and spirit to continue your way to your stage. So stop running aimlessly seeking something that only the Lord of hosts can pour out from heaven.

God’s will be done!

And when you lose focus of that, close your eyes and ask again to see the wonders of the spiritual realm.

There, God will show you a glimpse of the world sitting, waiting anxiously for your arrival on your set stage. You will see your enemies scrambling because the lights of glory all around your stage are blinding to the eyes of wickedness. You will see that there is an open door leading to a stage light, centered by grace and mercy, and all you will have to do when the time comes, is to walk on your divine stage.

God is not man that HE should lie.

I pray that God continues to counsel you through each level of the passage to destiny. May God continue to lead you with His footsteps in your pathway and His merciful hands linked to yours, guiding you through that path in Jesus name. Amen.

Your Stage Is Set (i)

“And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck them, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.”

Jeremiah 31:28

For many of us, every day is a hustle. For many of us, every day is a battle. For many of us, every day is a struggle. For many of us, every day is a new problem. For many of us, everyday is a continuance of yesterday’s hustle, battle, struggle, and problem.

But God sent me to tell you that all of which you are combating today, to get to tomorrow, is only a passage to get to your stage which He has set for you.

Friend, your stage is already set!

The Almighty builder has built your own unique stage from nothing with His great hands. The Rain-maker has shifted the horizons and placed the sun in its position to shine on the day you wake up to walk on that very stage.

If you haven’t already, take a moment to read (or re-read) the scripture above. What a powerful word!

I was told to remind you today that God has always been, still is, and will always be in control. The King of all kings still sits on His Glorious throne, watching over you.

‘THE GREAT I AM,’ is still the only one with the power to pluck the bad seeds you have sewn through blindness and disobedience. HE is the great One that has broken down the strongholds and chains of the enemy over your life. HE has thrown down the mighty self-fulfilling pride that you didn’t even know you possessed. HE has destroyed the plots that has been intended to harm and destroy you.

In the same token,

The God who knows your beginning and your end and has promised to fill your house with wealth and riches, says HE has afflicted you so you can grow in your faith for His deliverance. HE says He is building you and has planted you where you are so when the time comes for your curtains to open, and the world to see the glory of God through you, you will be right on the stage that has already been predestined for you even before you were born!

There is No Waste In God’s Process – Part 2

“I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.”

Isaiah 57:18

At 24, the hardships I have faced, still facing, and watched, and still watching others around me face, has honestly been challenging. I come from a place where abject poverty and hopelessness is a norm. Even after my move to America, I grew up in a community (suburb and all) that fell from grace each time a young life was gunned down or another young life turned to the path of destruction.

So, admittedly, I have asked inwardly and outwardly over the years, through my personal pain and my heartache over the world around me, ‘where was God?’

It took time, prayer, and more prayer to tap into the grace of God, to trust His Way above all other thoughts.

See, God’s Higher plan goes beyond what we see or how we feel even in the face of havoc and discomfort. And I know how hard it can be to keep that in mind sometimes. We have to remain grounded in faith and hope and trust God, and know and know and know that we serve a loving, merciful, and powerful father!

Friend, there is purpose in your pain.

Over 4000 homes were lost in this one tornado. 4000 lives halted, scattered, shattered with one event. I can’t begin to imagine the pain and tiredness from such a life-changing occurrence.

But God’s purpose for the community of Moore was greater than the material things that were demolished in the storm. God’s purpose proved powerful in love and togetherness that became greater than the anguish of losing loved ones. The community of Moore did not wallow in pain. They worshiped IN FAITH AND HOPE… How great is our God?!

Hearts were restored with the fullness of God’s mercy and grace as families drew nearer to one another to comfort and help carry each other’s burdens. Wounds (present and past) were healed as former addicts opened up to the Lord seeking forgiveness and a new start. Faith was strengthened as survivors who clung to the mercy of God in the eye of the storm, praised God for preserving their lives and loved ones…It wasn’t all good, but it was all God.

So I wonder today what parts of your journey the enemy has convinced you was a waste. What has the voices of doubts and hopelessness told you over and over again? What lies of worthlessness and inferiority have you succumbed to in the past? What tragedy has left you without solid grounds to stand or walk on?

Will you please bring it to God today? Will you please come into the arms of your Maker for the comfort you desperately need and has been seeking for in all the wrong places? Do you know that healing comes from God?

Friend, I cannot stress it enough that there is NO waste in God’s process. It is all for His glory!

May your heavenly Father in His tender-mercy, pull you close in your time of loss and despair. May your Almighty father restore your faith and hope today to behold the fullness of His glorious plan in Jesus name. Amen.

There Is No Waste In God’s Process – Part 1

“For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD…”

Jeremiah 30:17

When you consider the process that gold or diamonds have to go through to shine in their purposeful form, there is some sort of waste shed during the process.

Funny enough, you and me as children of God, have to endure a similar process for the Glory of God to shine in us and through us in its truest divine form. The only difference between the two processes, is that there is absolutely no waste in God’s process.

Every part of your journey is for the glory of God.

Today, I watched a Netlix documentary titled, Where Was God? – a film that captured the story of hope, faith, and restoration for the survivors of the 2013 Oklahoma tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. 25 people, including seven children at an elementary school, lost their lives.

I was amazed at the power of God in more ways than one.

I first sat in awe at the power of God as I saw the video of the powerful and fatal winds that carried and toppled cars and houses in the blink of an eye.

Then I watched in awe at the rubble after the storm, as a community prepared to recover from loss and tragedy.

The parents of one of the young children, Nicholas, told their story. Nicholas was a gift from God to a father who was told at 16 that he would not be able to father any children in this world. So the love for Nicholas was beyond ordinary…But God gave and took away.

Another 14-year-old tornado survivor recounted the story of the Oklahoma tornado that happened two years earlier in 2011, in which she lost her father and her younger sister.

The film brought tears of sorrow, joy, and hope to my eyes.

Loss is so painful. Read ‘GOD GIVES EVEN WHEN HE TAKES AWAY’

But something deeper is struck when young lives end so soon, so unexpectedly. I wondered myself ‘Where was God?’

After the tornado, something great happened in the community of Moore. Strangers became friends, a community grew through pain and became stronger in faith and hope. Lives were turned around when survivors received Christ as their savior even through discomfort.

God was there, as He is always with his children.

When I first sought the spirit on the direction of this particular post, I thought I only had to speak about the goodness of God even through our worst times in life. But I heard the Word remind me that even as we lay in waste out of confusion, pain, anger, or misguidance, God is there.
