Women Arise Weekly Devotional (March 4, 2009)

Hello Princesses (for that's what Daughters of the King are, right?),

 

 

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL (March 4, 2009)

 

 

I pray this message finds you all in good health, good spirits and extra strong faith! Thank you to ALL who have been praying for me and my daughter who was sick! We are both doing much better! POWER IN PRAYER! God is good!

 

 

I'd like to take time to WELCOME ALL NEW MEMBERS to Women Arise! We now have about 175 members! It was 177, but two left the group for reasons unknown to me. It's okay though because God has plans for each and every one of us and I believe that He will bring in 200 more-in due time! I pray they are blessed beyond measure!

 

 

With that being said, I'm just going to share a message that the Lord has laid upon my heart today and pray you are all blessed by it:

 

 

There are SO MANY hurting people in this world today! Now I know that various kinds of pain and suffering, struggles and warfare have been here on this earth since Adam and Eve. However, it seems to be more prevalent today than any other time in history! Every time I turn on the TV, I'm hearing stories about how families are suffering due to the economic crisis here in the US, I constantly hear and receive prayer requests from people who are going through some type of health crisis, divorce, abuse, neglect, fear, worry, insecurities, financial problems, death/loss, racism, suicide, etc. I could go on and on!!!

 

 

The devil is a liar and he is VERY busy- especially within the Body of Christ! He is trying SO HARD to discourage us, and to cause us to doubt God s promises! He's trying to get us to turn our backs on God, and to prove us to be unfruitful, powerless, ineffective witnesses! But the Lord wants you to know today______________(insert YOUR name here), that I see your struggle! I feel your pain! I'M RIGHT HERE BESIDE YOU-especially in those moments where you can't 'feel' Me! I'm going through this TEMPORARY storm WITH you! I will NOT put more on you, my daughter, than you can bear! I know your struggles makes it so hard to believe that right now, but BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD! I will not allow the righteous to suffer for too long! In a little while-as you hold true to your faith, that mountain-THOSE MOUNTAINS, will be removed from you!

 

 

There is someone who has been 'going through' for some time now and who has just about given up all hope! All hope in the many doctors they've seen, all hope in their friends and family, and who is slowly but surely giving up hope in God! The Lords says to YOU: "I see you! Do NOT faint, do NOT lose heart! There is a great purpose in this trial! I plan to use you in ways that you can't even imagine! But you have to BE DETERMINED TO STAND FIRM! Feed on my Word daily! BELIEVE in Me! Believe in Me, believe in ME!!!! I AM! I will show you the salvation of the Lord-in DUE TIME! Take COURAGE! GET UP! TRUST ME and STOP trying to make things happen in your own STRENGTH and in your own TIMING! STOP trying to fight a battle that is ALREADY won! I love you, my child and I'm right HERE! Stay CONNECTED to Me-I'm the Vine! Apart from Me, you can do NOTHING! But with Me, ALL things are possible as long as you BELIEVE!!!!!!!

 

 

God bless you, sisters and I love you and pray for you all daily!
