God Shakes Things Up Because it’s Wake up Time,

A Look at Haggai 2:1-9
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies Speaks
In verses 6-7, the Lord tells us He will shake the heavens, earth, land, sea and all the nations! Furthermore, in Amos 9:9, the prophet tells us God will shake (or sift) the house of Israel as well! He will leave no stone unturned when it comes to this shaking!

Is our world not beginning to shake right now? True, we may be further advanced and have things much easier than some generations throughout history, but we are feeling the very first tremors of a great earthquake of turmoil and chaos that is targeting our globe. Wars, rumors of wars, nation against nation, false Christ various weather events, soon-coming famine on a scale most of us in America have never begun to fathom, and all the other birth pains of Mathew 24 and other passages are happening with greater frequency and severity. The baby (world tribulation) is in the birth canal and could be birthed very soon. But why? Why is God determined to shake the heavens and earth, land and sea, Israel and the nations? Actually there are several reasons and we’ll take them day-by-day.

One reason God shakes things up is because of His great love for us, and His desire that we wake up to the reality of sinfulness. The Bible says God is not willing that any should perish. (2 Peter 3:9) But we live in a world that is too comfortable with sin. He wants our attention! He wants us to wake up and get out of the miry mess!

The apostle Paul understood the urgency:

11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

~Romans 13:11-12
What does God want? What does it mean to awake out of sleep? It means we awaken to our own sinfulness and repent! If you don’t know Jesus, you meet Him through repentance…confession of your sin and turning away from it. For those of us who know Jesus as Savior and Lord, our lifestyle should be one of repentance…willingly and constantly turning from sin in order to fully restore fellowship with our Lord.

It also means we let go of everything that we cling to but Christ. Are you clinging to fame and fortune? Career and success? Philosophy or political beliefs? Religion? Anything that takes up space between you and the One who sacrificed His life for you is a hindrance to relationship with Him.

What things must be let go in order to take hold of Christ Jesus our Lord? The choice is ours: hold tightly to the things of this world and be shaken loose from it all, or hold tightly to Jesus, forsaking the things of this world, in order to know Him more fully.

One reason God shakes the world is to wake us up!

I wanted to say that I know It's a lot of us doing through something and we don't know how we are going to get through and all we can do is just trust in God to pull us through. I know that It's hard to do when you are going through. just know that God has you. What we think is the end, God Knows that it's the beginning of a new beginning. but God has a more higher view. So let Go and let God Lighter your load.

What does God see when He looks at us
What do you see when you look at your child? You see an amazing human that you love more than life and would do anything for, am I right?

God sees you as His child. Someone He loved so much that He thought you were worth dying for. Jesus loves you so much He willingly went to the cross for you.
Some of us don't want to serve Him because the waiting period is too long and It's like playing a waiting game, but just know that God has you and His timing Is always right on time. You know when our children do something wrong It' their faults but your love for them covers their faults and you only see the best in them.

Yes, God knows all about our sin but when we confess our sins we are forgiven. When we accept His free gift of salvation we are changed. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Will we still make mistakes? Of course. But the Bible is very clear that we are not stuck in this state. “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

God loves you too much to let you stay the way you are. He is working in you and molding you into the person He created you to be. And He won’t stop!

I have learned so much about God’s love, forgiveness, mercy, and grace from my children. I look at them and I see that precious babies. I gave birth to. God looks at us and sees His creation, made in His image. God look at His children and that is us,
He created us before we were born. He already Knew how we would look and how we would be when we were in our mother's womb. So let us not forget about God because God never forget about us.
let's not praise and worship Him when we want something, let's pray and serve Him when we need nothing from Him.

Always Treat People Right For You Never Know When You Might Need Them Again. Love The Way God Loves.

04/08/2024

I began a holy habit of waking up speaking to God and declaring His Word over my family.
Its important to pray for yourself and love ones. The moment my eyes would open, I would invite Him into my day with a “Good morning, Lord!” and ask Him to be my guide for each day because I cant make it without Him.
I cant walk without Him nor can I talk without Him. He Is the Beginning and the End. The head and not the tail. The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. Deuteronomy 28:13 We should speak daily scripture verses over ourselves and our family.
Satan is always at work. We always have to be two steps ahead of Satan and pray in and out of season.
I find myself crying out to God with a heart that so heavy some days. sometimes i find myself crying and I do not know why but I do know that God is still working on me.
There are times when our cries and our confessions seem to be producing no results in the natural, but much is taking place in the spiritual. When we confess God’s Word, our prayers are lining up with His will.

We are speaking things that may not be as if they exist.

There is power in our confessions. in this area. I want to operate in the full power given to me in Christ. I no longer want to walk around as a worn-out, defeated Christian. Jesus died so that I would have life in abundance, so today I’m claiming what is mine! I’m refusing to let the circumstances of life dictate how my day will go. Instead, the Word of God will be the covering for my family each day.
So No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 Thank you, Lord, that no weapon formed against me or my family will prosper. Every tongue that rises against us will be condemned. We have peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over our enemies as your children. And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 Thank you, Lord, that You will supply all of my needs according to Your riches. Your supply is endless! I rest in Your ability to provide for me today. I refuse to worry, complain, or be stressed by any lack that I see, knowing that I am completely taken care of by You. We are more than conquerors in Christ. Overwhelming victory is ours. Fear cannot hold us back. Depression has no place in our lives. Lack cannot come near us. Our thoughts line up with Your Word. Our mouths confess Your greatness and Your love for us. The enemy cannot hold us back, defeat us or discourage us. Victory is ours in Christ.

The Master Is At Work In You
“But the master only nodded and said, ‘Not yet’. then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked on the door. I could see him through the opening, and I could read his lips, as he shook his head, “Not yet.”

“Finally the door opened, he put me on a shelf, and I began to cool. ‘There that’s better’, I said. And he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. ‘Stop it, stop it!’ I cried. He only nodded, ‘Not yet.’ Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot, and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded.

I screamed. I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening nodding his head and saying, ‘Not yet.’

“Then I knew there wasn’t any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up. But the door opened, and he took me out and placed me on a shelf. One hour later he handed me a mirror and said, ‘Look at yourself.’ And I did. I said, ‘That’s not me, that couldn’t be me. It’s beautiful. I’m beautiful.’

“I want you to remember, then, he said, ‘I know it hurts to be rolled and patted, but if I had left you alone, you’d have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I knew it hurt and was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn’t put you there, you would have cracked.

“I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn’t done that, you never would have hardened; you would not have held. Now you are a finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first began with you.'” God knows what He is doing for all of us. He is the Potter, and we are His clay. He will mold us and make us, so that we may be made into a flawless piece of work to fulfill His good, pleasing, and perfect will. The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying, “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I shall announce My words to you.” Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something on the wheel.

But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he remade it into another vessel, as it pleased the potter to make. Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, “Can I not, O house of Israel, deal with you as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. ”Jeremiah 18:1-6 (NASB)

Matthew 11:28-29

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. (NKJV)

The apostle Paul said in

Philippians 4:7-8

and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

I know this all can be easier said than done, but hear me out. This is a process. You don’t just arrive at feeling peace in your soul. It is something you have to work on

Each. And. Every. Day.

With everywhere you turn, being unsettling & disturbing news, it can be hard to keep your mind in a state of peace. However, this is something you have to practice. You have to live a life according to God, pray, be faithful, have faith, & trust God to sort it all out. The problems we are facing today, are much too big for me & you to handle. But with the Lord, we can keep some sense of sanity. He promises us He will not lead us out so far & leave us.

I Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

He didn’t say He wouldn’t allow us to be tempted beyond what we wanted, but what we are able to bear. Daddy used to say if God gave you a lot of troubles, that means He thinks a lot of you. I would say,

“Well, sometimes I wish God didn’t think so much of me.”

We would laugh about whatever I was going to him for advice on. He would say something like,

“Worrying about it ain’t gonna do a frazzlin’ thing, but put you in such a shape to where you can’t do nothing for nobody. So, trust God.”

Let it go. Never ruin a good day by thinking about a bad day in the past. Brethren, I do not count myself to have [d]apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV)
Ignore them. Don’t listen to negative people. Live a life that’s empowering to you. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20 NKJV)
Give it time. Time heals everything. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, (I Peter 5:6 NKJV)
Don’t compare. The only person you should try to beat is the person you were yesterday. So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. (Romans 14:12 NKJV)
Stay calm. It’s okay not to have everything figured out. Know that in time, you will get there. I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. (Psalms 40:1 NKJV)
It’s on you. Only you are in charge of your happiness. You are president & CEO of your life. If things aren’t working out, look inward, then upward. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV)
Smile. Life is short. Enjoy it while you have it. whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a v***r that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. (James 4:14 NKJV)

04/04/2024

Let Go Let God, Every day we have the opportunity to make a choice. We can agree with Jesus, “not my will, but yours be done” or we can choose our kingdom of self.

If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. Mark 8:35

When we surrender to God and let go, this brings freedom through Jesus Christ – beginning now and for all eternity.

Until we’re in heaven, we’ll feel the tension of both kingdoms but God’s promised us grace upon grace when we surrender to Him in faith.

03/26/2024

I cooked today and washed some of my clothes that's was okay. But there are some things I have to ask God for wisdom and ask him for His Guidance. We are human so we are not perfect, We don't have all the answers nor do we have it altogether but God does. Even in our weaknesses He makes us strong so we are able to do what he have for us to do.
He wants to show His faithfulness to us.
We have to stay close to Him and stay in His shadow, in His presence to live in His shelter.
I serve a faithful God, His promises are amazing and He wants to show Himself Strong to us.
As for you, the one who lives in the shelter of
the Most High, and resides in the protective
Shadow of the Sovereign One say this about
the Lord, my shelter and my stronghold, my
God in whom I trust. He will certainly rescue
you from the snare of the hunter and from the destructive plague.
He will shelter you with his Wings; you will find
Safety under His Wings, His faithfulness is like
a shield 🛡️ or a protective wall. You need not fear
the terrors of the night. the arrow that flies by
day, the plague that stalks in the darkness, or the disease that ravages at noon.
Psalm 91:1-6

03/25/2024

In the year of 2024 A lot is going on in this world so we have to Pray constantly and keep God in everything that we do and every place that we go.
Never take your eyes off of God.

01/20/2024

Prayer is the key to Heaven but Faith unlocks the door.
Without Faith it is impossible to please God. Prayer is direct communication with our
Heavenly Father. He loves when we spend time with Him. but what He really loves is when we activate our faith! All we need is Faith as a small and tiny mustard seed. So we can speak what we want into
existence and believe that it shall come to pass.
Having Faith really works.
