Welcome to Seek. Rest. & Trust In Him

Recently I was in a situation, that during the process made me so mad with myself! I mean, I knew right & well that I not only needed to take SEV-Eral seats, but I knew what it was even from a professional standpoint. Yet, I was salty! You see, the processes 'hold' status, to me felt like rejection... Failure... And defeat... As if the enemy had won. But again, I knew all too well what it really was. So eventually I humbly got on my knees & asked for His mercy, by admitting I was wrong. And then I forgave myself, so that I could move on one accord with the process. My friend in Christ, there are times when the process calls for a hold, waiting period, intermission, or whatever you'd call it. This is the behind the scenes stage, where the Lord must (for a lack of better analogy) have us in suspense to test our faith & trust In Him.  Don't get me wrong, the suspense stage is a little tricky... Because during this time your faith in Him, & all He can do, ...

What are your feelings on this topic? Would you & your partner try praying together before engaging in an intimate moment, if you haven't already? If you've done it, how did it make you both feel? I challenge you... To t ry it 😊!          ~ From your sister in Christ, SP

Time and time again we try to handle situations on our own... Does that sound familiar? I do it, KNOWING that I need to take several seats. I get in the way.  So with that being said... We have to STOP this cycle & let Him take control!! Brother's & Sister's in Christ have you ever been at a point in your life where you have sleepless nights? Do you try to focus on living your life but all you can think about is what your next move must be in order to stay afloat? Or do you even try to find gimmicks to help in financial situations in your life and it always falls through or is not pleasing in God's eyes? I know I have, on more than one occasion. We must stay in Prayer!! We must continue to Meditate!! We must show praise through Song!! When going through all of life's ups and downs, God said - But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33) . This means that when you seek Him... You al...

In life you will be placed in unwanted situations. Situations that you didn't ask to be in. You will wonder: 'Why me'? 'When will it be MY turn'? 'Will I be loved'? 'Will I get that...(job, pay increase or opportunity)'? In all of this we find ourselves wanting more. Grasping for more. But what are we doing in return? You see... God wants more for us as well. Remember that He is a jealous God. ONE who seeks all the praise and glorifying. Yet we want more. But why? Why do we want more?: Is it because we deserve it? =====> Maybe. Is it because we prayed for it? =====> Possibly. Or is it because we worked for it? =====> Could be! If this is what you think... that's wrong. We should never do anything with the want or desire for a blessing to follow. We should constantly do His work and have FAITH that He's got our back. Do everything in His name without a tangible want attached. You have to have FAITH that in your doing ...

As of late, I have realized that your life may never coincide with anyone else's life around you. I have come to also realize that you must always keep your focus. You may never really understand and that is perfectly fine. There comes a time when you must praise your way through every situation, keep your strength and recognize your God, despite how hard things may be or feel!!! We as humans will make many mistakes. We as humans will not understand what is going on. That too is fine. All we have to do is Trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean NOT unto our own understandings. In all our ways acknowledge Him... & He shall direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). God is not expecting us to understand why he may get us so close to a situation and then take us far away. He is not expecting for us to not wonder why He presents us with opportunities... Then with a snap of a finger, completely redirect our path. But... What He is expecting: - For us to completely tru...

For a while, I have been going through. I have been trying to understand, realize, listen and learn what it is God is trying to tell me. When a wise woman told me that half the time we tend to ask God questions and demand an answer. Not really understanding, realizing, listening and/or learning that it is all in front of us. Therefore I have to ask you... Is God your 'High Demand'?! By that, I mean... Is that who you go to first for your answers? Do you seek His word? Fellowship with others? Meditate on listening for the sound of His voice? OR are you trying to handle all things on your own, and sabotage the plan He has for you?! Romans 8:31 says: "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" When I read this I have to break... it... down.! "What then shall we say to these things?" ~ Why do allow for worldly things and issues to cloud our vision. The older generation of men and woman use to say; ...

Are there times where you feel like God just isn't listening? Do you feel like you are just at the end of what you can take and just ready to throw in the towel? Do you know someone who questions the faith they have in Him? Did you answer yes to any of the above questions or know someone who may? In order to get all you need and want out of God.. He wants your all! Not just a part of you... Not just you on Sunday's & Wednesday's, but ALL of the time. You have to be willing to give yourself to Him. When I say give your all, I mean that you have to be willing to recognize and share with others ALL He has done for you. He wants you to recognize that you need Him. He wants you to preach His gospel by sharing your testimonies and speaking positive words at all times. Remember, our words are our weapons, so be mindful of them. In order to get all you want and need from God, you have to be willing to learn Him. How do you do that you ask? Well I would be glad to share ...

You ever recognize when the devil has been busy? That cotton-picken devil is a persistent one. The good thing about it, is that I am here to show you that he has No new tricks. That he will come for you in wools covering to destroy. You see, the devils goal is to derail you from what you already know the Lord has in store for you. I need for you to ask yourself one question though... Who sustains you? Who? Sustains YOU? Your being, your blessings, your everyday issues & situations? Who? If a first thought comes to your mind, and it is not our loving Jesus Christ, our Lord & Saviour, then I will certifiably tell you that you have a problem. You see, He (God that is) said in his word, "By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works" (Ephesians 2:8-9). This means that there will be Tests, Tests & more Tests. Gods everlasting grace & love will not be made easy by the devil. But d...
