What's Going On Right Now in Your Life that Troubles You --Don't Be Afraid...

[Shimmie]

“Don’t be afraid! Be brave, and you will see the Lord save you today.

The Lord will fight for you, and you won’t have to do a thing.”

Exodus 14:13-14 CEV

Isn't this a beautiful promise from the heart of God our Father...

This is what God is saying 'DIRECTLY' to you:

'Listen with your heart'

My Child:

Don't be afraid, feel free to be brave for you will see "Me", Your Lord and Father, Your God, save you today.

I will fight for you, I will protect you from before and from behind and from all around you. I am your armour bearer and I will do the fighting for you.

Don't fear a thing, for I am with you all the way through and beyond.

Why? Because I love you. I am attached to you and you are attached to me. You are embedded within my heart deeper than anything that I have ever designed or created. I will allow no harm or death to come near you nor those whom you love.

Trust me... I AM that I AM to and for you, Forever and ever, I am yours and you are mine.

Believe.. Just Believe. I never lie nor do I deceive.

Don't ever be afraid. Just Believe

Thanks! I've been having anxiety a lot lately because I'm so used to being control , independent and already had a plan for my life. However, God is using me in this season to learn to be still, trust in Him and to endure because the best is yet to come! It is nooot easy and now I understand the scripture that says that the path is narrow......


This also comes in mind:

Proverbs 19:21

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails......

This message and verses bought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much. Lord knows I needed it.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

This is certainly something that I have been thinking about lately. Thank you so much for this thread. This thread should blow up because there are so many of us who have things going on in our lives and need some to pray or encourage us in some way.

I have been praying for me and many of my friends who have adult children that don't serve the Lord. It's been hard, and I pray so much...my knees are rough.

Lately though...my son has been calling me asking questions again about the Lord. He told me that he and some friends been having conversations about the Lord and he remembers some scriptures, but he can't remember some things so he calls me. I gave him a bible this past week so he will have it to reference to. This is encouraging...

I believe with all of my heart that my son and daughter will repent and come back to the Lord before its too late. I can't say it doesn't bother me because it does, but I do trust the Lord in their life.

Thank you Shimmie.....I am anxious about being off work with bills due, pending shut off notices and responsibilities. He has been faithful thus far and will continue to be so!!

Praying for you and 'Hubby' who is highly favoured in all. Both of you are.

God is so protective of our children, even more so than 'we' are. Our sons and daughters have so many angels assigned to them and God gave His guarantee with these words:

Psalm 23:

He leadeth me (our children) in the paths of Righteousness for His namesake.

Isaiah 43:1-21 --- I love this! This just speaks volumes about our children.

But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.


5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.

13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

-----------------------

There is no strange god among our children.... none.

This is for all of the children...we dedicate all of them unto the Lord.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

 

[Renewed1]

Thank you Shimmie. So much is going on in my family right now, that it left me in shock and in unshed tears. When I read your original post, I just let the tears flow. It's amazing the things or the emotions we hold on to instead of releasing it to the Lord.

Thank you.

You shall owe no man anything except to 'love' him.

And do not be surprised at the cancellation of some/many of your debts. There is a cloud of much favour hovering over you. Many showers of blessings.

What is troubling me: change

It is hard to develop new habits when the old ones consume your life.

 

[Shimmie]

What is troubling me: change

It is hard to develop new habits when the old ones consume your life.

I'm the same way, I've never be one to welcome change, unless I had control of it.

For example: Changing my nail color, the curtains in my windows, re-arranging my bedroom, adding new linens, etc., those changes I welcome, because I CHOSE them.

Yet when changes occur that I did not prepare for or expect or to be honest, changes that I did not 'select'... nawwwwww, I'm not so open-armed about it.

Yet, with each change, God eases me through the process, step by step and gives me the time I need to trust Him and gives me the courage and the energy (yes, 'energy') to adjust to the change.



LovingLady, No matter what it is, no matter what... God will not drop you, nor let you fall, nor fail neither will you be ashamed. You will be prepared by Him and the change will 'bow' to you. You will have key to conquer discomfort and the fears of the change.

"You Rule Girl" Yeah, you do... You Rule. Because God your Father rules and His heart is giving you all that you need to see it through.

Thank you so much!!! I needed to see this!! Thank you! You hit the nail right on the head.

[mrselle]

Last week I decided that I was tired of being angry with my in-laws and my stepdaughter. I told God that I didn't want anything to keep my light from shining. I told Him that I want the love of Jesus Christ to flow through me so I could show that love to others. All last week I prayed. I would pray in my sleep. Last weekend my mother-in-law and stepdaughter were here and I couldn't help myself. I was so kind and warm and loving that I kind of surprised myself. My stepdaughter hugged me and I looked her in the eyes (I usually avoid making eye contact with her) and told her I was glad she was home. Now the devil has been trying to remind me of all the things they have done to hurt me over the years. Lying on me, lying to me, turning many people against me, etc... But, I have managed to keep my peace. With all that said, I fear for my stepdaughter. There are a lot of issues. She says one thing with her mouth, but the way she lives her life shows says something different. There are some generational curses she struggles with and I fear that my daughters will have the same struggles.

I fear that I'm not a good mother to my girls. I fear that will make the same mistakes with them that my mother made with me. I love my mother dearly and she did a good job, but there are things she did that effect me to this day and I struggle. I want to be the best mother I can be.

 

[Laela]

THERE IS NO ... absolutely NO failure in God. I believe this.

My mother had prayed for me for years, when I went wayward and as a mother, she continues to prayer for me. That's what mothers who love the Lord do. I'm blessed to have a mother like that. So is your son. As Children of God we speak LIFE always over our children. Your son was already dedicated to God, he can't get away from Him... this has been my experience.

It's so refreshing to see mothers who won't ever give up on their children. We have too many who are giving up, quitting and letting the devil fool them into defeat. Prayer indeed changes things. I'm encouraged by your sharing your life and your ministry on this message board, sis. It takes courage to share... and it's clear the Love of God in your heart to edify others is what drives you.

You never know who is reading, and how is moved, touched or encouraged by your life's testimonies...and I love me some testimony.

I'll speak to you, what I've received myself:

Regardless of how much money, influence, and even favor you have, God will not excuse you from troubles. The troubles you face don't move you. No matter what goes wrong in this life, it doesn't have the power to re-position you. You have a firm foundation that remains intact. God remembers you, and the promises has made to you!

And for the record, my children already. have given their lives to Christ, many years ago. They are in a backslidden condition...they are not 'unsaved'. Jesus is Lord over my children...hallelujah!

 

[Shimmie]

I cannot think of a better Mother than you have been for your children. To be even more honest, they never fail to rise up and call you 'Blessed' as the children in Proverbs 31.

From the 'brief' moments of knowing your son, he overflows with the love of Jesus in his heart and soul. It's forever present. And it's because of you and your unending love that you and hubby have showered over them.

Your love as a mother extends not only at home with your children but into the lives of others, such as mine. For you were there all the way when my baby was in trouble reassuring me of the 'calm' and loving presence that only a mother can ensure.

Iron Sharpens Iron...

Thank you, Precious Wavy for sharpening my spirit when I needed it most...as a Mom.

 

[delitefulmane]

Right now I feel so lost. I had a plan all laid out of what I would do as a career and now I have hit a road block and can't figure out if should still pursue this dream or to do something else. I can't figure out what I am passionate about and what I want to do as career. I am also madly in love with my current BF and I feel like I need to figure out a career so that we can one day soon get married. I don't want to have regrets on what my life had been like had I pursed my initial plan but I also have been unable get to where I need to be to get into this career. I want to go back to school but I have no clue for what.
I feel like God is not directing me.
