Encouragement for your Souls

in the month of april....

Trusting and Waiting….. Has it been the theme for anyone else?  This past month, or two, or more… has been a bit dry?  Maybe, maybe not?  

Seasons like this require a special kind of engagement into what God is doing when the real pull is to forget about God and sulk in your worry.  Wondering, why isn’t this happening/ why doesn’t God tell me?  

March - it has been one of those months of trusting and waiting on the Lord.  Though I did not know exactly what God had in store I chose to surrender it to him.  AND I found so much rest.  There was a joy in finding peace in the Lord - of not worrying myself over the future, and resting.  Trusting and not forgetting, but waiting and trusting.  

Now it is April

       And I can just sense that Spring is around the corner, I just know that God has a huge fruit      

       harvest to produce; abundance, outbursts of blessing, surprise!  Not just for our individual

       desire but for His desires too that He will sew in our heart!  Great things for the Kingdom!

       I have great expectation for the things that God is going to do this year to Establish his     

       Kingdom on Earth.  And I believe He is going to do it through His people.  He has torn us 

       that He might heal us, He has struck us down that he might bind us up.” (Hosea 6:1)  Don’t

       you remember last year - so many of us went through some of the hardest times of our lives - 

       the most broken - shocking moments!  And do you remember how God restored you!  Do 

       you remember how miraculous it was?  

       He was preparing you to be partners with Him in establishing His Kingdom.  

       Are you Ready? 

       Don’t forget - in this time of ‘stand-stillness.’ 

I have dedicated these first 2 weeks of April  to war against the enemy and intercede for the fruit that will be produced.  I am fasting a couple things and getting up early to pray.  

I am praying for

• The Body of Christ - strengthening and encouragement
• The Fruit - Asking God to fulfill His plan 
• Against the Enemy - because we know with any good thing comes opposition/ praying for specific protection over myself that I may not be taken off guard or discouraged

Let’s pray for the things that are on God’s heart this year.  Please join me in prayer!

"From the days of John the Baptist until the present, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and the violent take it by force.” Matthew 11:12
