Weakness to Strength

2011-09-08T17:30:00.000-07:00

It has been awhile since I have been able to post on this blog. (I started by posted some youtube videos the other day.)

I haven't even been able to look at this blog for a long time in order to really remember what I posted on it.

There has been a great many things that have happened in my life and the ones I love. Today I read Isaiah 35 again as we were praying through some very significant issues. The words became very meaningful and clear for our very situation and all that we have pressed through that I was so very moved. Then as I was looking on this blog, I realized I had posted the verses for Isaiah 35 in "The Message" version on the side bar. Yes, I can truly see how God is answering this in our lives. As we press on in what we are contenting for we are renewed with greater resolved to claim these verses so that we may walk in His Strength.

I am encouraged to go from WEAKNESS to STRENGTH!!!

Encourage the exhausted

and strengthen the feeble.

Say to those with anixous heart,

"Take courage, fear not.

Behold your God will come with vengeance;

The recompense of God will come,

But He will save you.

Isaiah 35:3,4

Some Where Over the Rainbow

2010-01-25T12:19:00.000-08:00

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high,

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream

Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow.

Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can't I?

Why do we all love this song? It gives us a feel of hope and hits a nerve in our hearts because there are so many things that we really do want in our lives.

We want health

We want to make a difference.

We want love and healthy relationships

We want comfort and prosperity.

We want to feel special and significant.

We want our children to have things better then we did

We want our community and country to prosper
God the Father through Jesus Christ wants these things for us too. He has dreams for us too. He gives us hope to carry on and on. We must give him our heart so that we can rise above like the blue bird but more importantly like the eagle.

Read Isaiah 40:30-31

Sickness to Health Part 4- Releasing Bitterness

2009-09-17T18:24:00.000-07:00

Releasing Bitterness is key in receiving healing. It can cripple your body, spirit and soul. Henry Wright, a well-known author and speaker, speaks about bitterness and it's link to disease. In his book, "A More Excellent Way," he says that it can often be the spiritual root of arthritis. I believe that it robs you of so much. Here is a poem that I wrote which describes what it can do.

I HEARD THE VOICE OF BITTERNESS TODAY

I heard the voice of bitterness today,
I have seen what it can do.
It looks at what might have been.
And it skews the view
Bitterness says, “You can’t trust anyone it will hurt too much.”
The world with all it’s possibilities says, “Come let’s have some adventures!”
Bitterness says, “What hazards and perils await me.”
The New day says, “What prospects are around each new corner!”
Bitterness says, “You can’t because you’ve been hurt before.”
The Dream says, “Why not? Go for it!
Bitterness says, “It isn’t safe.”
The Way says,”Come and taste the abundant Life!”
Bitterness is a scary thing.
It is the root of all unhappiness.

Proverbs 17:22

"A cheerful heart is good medicine,

but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."

Wait on the Lord. Get in the Lord's presence and allow Him to fill you and refresh you and give you strength.

Isaiah 40:30-31

(KJV)
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,

and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.

Sickness to Health Part 2

2009-08-06T11:38:00.000-07:00

The next thing that I had to get straight was the question, "Do I really believe that God wants me to well?"

"Do I really believe that God wants me to be well?"

I was taught that God gives us grace to bare our sickness. He can teach us through our sickness, so, it is OK for me to be sick because maybe God wants me that way so that He can teach me some things.
While this it true to a point the more correct truth is that God wants me to walk in divine health and He will give me strength to endure until I am well.
This has become a great revelation to me because if I really believe that God wants me in divine health then I will be open to it and looking for it.

If I really believe that God wants me in divine health then I will be open to how He wants to heal me.
If I really believe that God wants me in divine health then I will take care of my body.
If I really believe that God wants me in divine health then I will nurture my spirit.
If I really believe that God wants me in divine health then I will take care of my emotion health.
If I really believe that God wants me in divine health then I will not give up until I am in Divine Health.
If I really believe that God wants me in divine health then will expect my miracle each day whether I see it or not.

Sickness to Health Part 1

2009-08-06T10:45:00.000-07:00

I could have entitled this brokenness to wholeness because in my journey to wellness or health I have learned that becoming whole is a vital part to physical health.
I want invite others to join me in my journey to complete health or divine health. I am going to do a series of articles on health as I receive healing and work this through in my own life.

You have to want to want to be well.

The first think that I have learned is that if you want to walk in healing and health you have to really want it. It that simple because if you really do not want to be well for one reason or another then you will not be well and healthy.

Some reasons that I have had and others that I have observed are:

1. When I was growing up I got the most of my attention from my parents when I was sick.
2. I don't have to really accomplish much because I am sick.
3. What is going to happen when I get well.
4. This is comfortable and my identity to be sick.
5. Others don't have to expect much from me.
6. It is too much work to get well.
7. If God wanted me to be well and healthy then He would do it.

Jesus asks us what do we want? http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=47&chapter=20&verse=31&end_verse=33&version=31&context=context

Burdened to Peacefulness

2009-07-16T12:54:00.000-07:00

I have been trying to exercise a little every day but
today I decided to some WEIGHT-LIFTING.
I am lifting all my burdens up to my Heavenly Father.

We have to give our burdens to Him

if we are going live with peacefulness.

Psalm 55:22
"Cast your burden on the LORD,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved."

Isaiah 58:5-7
"Is it a fast that I have chosen,
A day for a man to afflict his soul?
Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush,
And to spread out sackcloth and ashes?
Would you call this a fast,
And an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 “ Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?"

Matthew 11:29-30
"29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:29-30 (The Message)
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me.
Get away with me and you'll recover your life.
I'll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

I GAVE MY:

1. My Children to God and their needs
2. My husband and his needs
3. My health
4. My ministry
5. My finances
6. My home

Aww... I feel much better. Everything is going to be ok.

JEALOUSY to INSPIRATION

2009-06-06T13:24:00.000-07:00

"She is more physically fit than I am."

"Look at how well her children are behaving."

"Her house is so nice compared to mine."

"Wow, she has so much more energy then I do."

"I wish I had that car."

"I wish I could afford to buy shoes like that."

Jealousy is a robber. It robs me of joy. When I am jealous I may think that I am missing out but when I am focused on what I don’t have then I am not focused on what I do have. I should celebrate them instead; turning my jealousy into inspiration. If they are doing something that I want to do or have something that I want to have then I need to let it inspire me.

I choose to celebrate with others when God blesses them.

"Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep." Romans 12:4b

I choose to let others blessings inspire me to do what I am meant to do.

"Arise; shine;

for your light has come!

And the glory of the LORD is raisen upon you."

Isaiah 60:1

Jealously will no longer rob me of the joy of celebrating what God is doing in my life and the lives of others.

LOW SELF-WORTH TO CONFIDENCE

2009-03-13T10:37:00.000-07:00

I was always taught as a child that I was not to be proud. Pride goes before a fall and Satan was proud, before he fell, you know. However, what they didn’t tell me was that there is a healthy pride which gives you confidence in who you are. So I went into adulthood with a very low self-esteem and not much confidence or courage to be who I was meant to be. Then they were telling me that I had to show love to my neighbor as I loved myself. In order to love my neighbor as myself I had to love myself which means that I had to have a good self-esteem. However, by then the damage had been done and I headed into years of inner healing and great struggles to capture a sense of worth and significance. I have come a long way but it is still something that I struggle with because it is so important for my emotional, physical and spiritual health.
I was pondering lately that if God made me and made me for a specific purpose then I must be ok. In fact I must be fabulous. After all I am made in His imagine, right?

I am choosing to look at myself in the third person.

How would I look at someone else?
What amazing things would I see in them?
How would I enjoy and celebrate their strengths and uniqueness?
How would I overlook their weaknesses so that I wouldn’t be clouded my judgments of them?
How would I react as they failed when I saw that they were really trying?
How do I walk in love for that person and try to follow 1 Corinthians 13?

I realize that I need to have that view towards myself. I need to step back and really look at who I am and celebrate me. I have to like what I see in order to have victory and breakthrough in my life.
I really am starting to like myself. I think I am an awesome person. God likes me too. I don’t have to receive affirmations from anyone else in my life when I just like me. When I like myself then others will too. Even with that, I have realized that not everyone will like me but as long as I do then that is all that really matters.

SELFISHNESS TO LOVE

2009-03-08T17:05:00.000-07:00

I would rather take a shot from you then to not give you a shot.

I would rather have an argument with you then not get to know who you really are.

I would rather see the hurt in you then a false smile cross your lips.

I would rather see the good in you then judge you for the bad I may see.

I would rather give you a second, third, fourth and fifth chance then hold your mistakes against you.

I would rather offer forgiveness to you then hold you in jail.

I would rather give you a gift then take things away from you.

I would rather celebrate your victory then point out your faults.

I would rather put your needs ahead of mine.

I would rather be your friend then your enemy.

I would rather love you then selfishly hold back my love from you.

HOPELESSNESS TO HOPEFULNESS

2009-03-08T10:26:00.000-07:00

Are you walking in hopelessness or are you FULL of HOPE?

I was looking at one of my paintings one day and thinking about comments that I received from different people about my paintings. Someone said they didn’t care for my style of art and why did I make them so big. A more positive person took one look at one of my paintings and said, “Wow that is glorious! That should be 30 feet high!”

Negative people see things as being not up to their expectations.
Positive people see things with greater expectations in mind.
Negative people are discouraging and rob you of your courage.
Positive people are encouraging and give you greater courage to go for it.
Negative people say, "Why do you even try? You will never amount to anything or you can't do that."
Positive people say, "Go for it. That is so awesome and you can even do bigger things!
Negative people steal your dreams away with their words.
Positive people give life to your dreams and enhance them.

I am learning in my life to only share my dreams with

dream-enhancers

and not

dream-stealer's.

If you believe that God has given you something to do that is so big and exciting that it even scares you then sharing it with a negative person will only bring you down. Share with those who you know will be your cheer leaders.
