Focusing Beyond

By Christina

imageOPEN UP OUR EYES TO SEE! That is a strong prayer, often left by the wayside. I see this now.

I left a lot of things in life because I could not see beyond.

All because of a broken focus.

Broken is when something isn’t functioning properly, but we have been given the ability to see clearly.
Some things are sent our way to cause a fog and if we are not careful…If we are not connected to our Lord, then those darts and arrows will work to BREAK our focus!

FAILURE IS BROKEN FOCUS!!!

But the SPIRIT of God was given to us;
For what? TO BREAK… What?
EVERY YOKE!
TO BREAK WHAT TRIES TO BREAK US!

His last prophetic words to us was, “This is a MEGA-Church. In a short time, you will see that.”

COURSE

That’s Us

By Christina

imageThere is always that one person that makes such a HUGE difference in your life. No matter the time lapse, no matter the distance, you are just forever knit and connected at the soul.

We laughed, cried, warred in the spirit… Grown, shared, fought, YES and got stronger! ❤

You are just that Jonathan person! That would lay it all down for a friend. WOW! That is just deep. Because Jonathan cared more for this friend.

“Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is trying to kill me?” “Never!” Jonathan replied. “You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn’t do anything, great or small, without letting me know. Why would he hide this from me? It isn’t so!” But David took an oath and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.’ Yet as surely as the Lord lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death.” Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you.””

When God Shuts The Doors

By Christina

imageWhen He Shuts the Doors… then He obviously wants you to walk through another one. Shutting doors are great ways that He can keep us from disastrous situations. Sometimes we experience the greatest storms, when we try to open the doors that have already been slammed shut for a reason.

Did you know that when a door is shut, God is sending a message to you in this way? Now you can discern.

“Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I’ll come right in and sit down to supper with you. Conquerors will sit alongside me at the head table, just as I, having conquered, took the place of honor at the side of my Father. That’s my gift to the conquerors!”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:20-21‬ ‭MSG‬‬

So now in front of that closed door, God is there… Knocking, for you to find HIM during those times of melt down, shut down, cast down or being thrown down. Now is the time for you to go DIRECTLY to Him! Continue reading

The Fall

By Christina

imageI hate falling. But it is inevitable. We all fall.

I just came back from a short walk to get lunch with my cute little gray Aldo heels and WHAM! There I went hitting the pavement. Thought it would be a little trip but no…I went down for the count. I think I laughed out loud. But I did stare at the pavement in quick disbelief and disorientation wondering what just happened. It was quick, brief and then comes a young Jewish boy to pick me up and ask if I was okay.

Yes I am okay, but the ankle hurts.

See we can get back up from a fall, we can even have others pick us up…but in every fall something occurs. There is always that chance of loss or injury from a fall. We always lose something when we fall instantly.

Dignity, respect, confidence… all that quickly escapes. In the fall we feel shame, upset, embarrassment or the like. Thank God for the young Jewish boy….but wow! Here goes my little swollen ankle already. I was obviously embarrassed. As he helped me up, I looked around to see if anyone else saw! How we are always concerned with what everybody else thinks of our fall.

Human nature. Continue reading
