Balance to Prevail…

I haven’t been here for a while and with good reason or wait maybe they’re only excuses it doesn’t matter how or what has kept me away but I am here. I want to put in habit my balance and priority to keeping right things right. A healthy life balance with the Lord as my center and source in every way my life moves and I truly hope this encourages you to do the same.

I know I need certain resting points to keep going strong and these include: solitude with the Lord only with no one else around so we can keep a tight intimacy where I can draw what I need most from the Lord at any time and for any reason but it also most certainly is a time of reflection with Him and being still with no agenda, these are the most beautiful moments I have with my Heavenly Father.

Times of prayer in every way: for others like my family and friends and even for me where I sit quietly and open my Bible soaking on the very Word of God and in these special moments, I stand on promises of His Word for that particular Soul.

Worship time: this is either done by myself or with others at Church this is a crucial moment in our week to gather with other believers in the House of the Lord to empower one another and to all be encaptivated by the Lord in a group setting is heart warming and so moving and powerful.

In these moments, writing: this is a time where I wait upon the Lord and discover His interpretation of sharing for others to be fulfilled from a Heaven outpouring here when I write I truly dive deeper into the Word and pull out many treasures waiting to be found within the pages of a living map to our lives in every single way.

Cooking/Baking: when I do these things such blessing comes from the ability to love through food and nourish those I love dearly.

Pondering the Word: when I am in the Word and stumble upon something I don’t quite understand it is an opportunity for me to look at other versions of the Bible written in another translation or to pray and ask the Lord to reveal to me the knowledge, understanding and the wisdom He has for me to learn, or what it is exactly why I am reading this passage, or story, what is it that He wants me to take away from it. Being in Gods House is a refilling station a place where others are gathered being fed with other Saints is a way for a deeper nourishment the Lord establishes community to better glorify Him and it magnifies His presence.

This is no specific order but #1 God be your center your source first and foremost and everything else will fall into place with Him being your guided light you’ll never be led astray for He will never leave you nor forsake you and He gives good gift to His children and He knows what best always now and forever since He created you and me it is best to wait upon the Lord to reveal when His time is right and help us to preserve so we can prevail through anything we face or do in our lives honoring Him in every way. Find balance to live your life in the ‘most healthy’ way for you.

Here are some side notes or takeaways from this encouragement:

Prayer time – seek a promise and stand on it.

Worship time – listen to and or sing to our Heavenly Father.

Word time – read the Bible.

You time – walk, sit in nature, do any activity you enjoy.

As you put the Lord first in your life you will begin to notice changes, these will be in yourself as you change and grow in the Lord you’ll be more settled in a peaceful manner, reactions will be slower in a more positive way you won’t let things bother or get to you like they used to, you’ll have a sense of hearing differently, you will be more calm and less agitated, less annoyed at things you can’t control, you will be able to pray when you used to worry and you will know who is in all control as you read and ponder the Word, this will shed light in the dark places your life used to settle in a no way out zone, to a glorious highlighted life enhanced, opening to new opportunities where blessings flow. Hear me now, I’m not saying everything will be peachy always I am stating that even while you are in the waiting of breakthrough you can have peace because you know the Lord is NOT going to allow you to falter and when you think this has happened know that He is working on something better and you just have not arrived yet…

Here is an example: when my husband and I were waiting the arrival of our second born we went through miscarriage after miscarriage after miscarriage I was starting to lose count but standing on Exodus 23:26 which says ‘And none will miscarry or be baren in your land, I will give you a full lifespan’. The Lords Word and spoken promise in the midst of us being scared, feeling like we were overturned and many other sad and devastating moments we kept standing on this Word and our Son finally arrived. So, I speak from experiencing Gods Word with truth From the Blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony this we prevailed we persevered and overcome the torment the enemy was crippling us with and you can overcome, continue to persevere whatever it is you need a breakthrough from and you too will prevail, the Lords Word does not come to the earth void, it’s alive and has power.

I love spending time alone with the Lord, it awakens me and light shines, it excites me being around those who are seeking after God and that highlights my life too, worship helps us take our minds off of our troubles and highlights the One who deserves all praise, pondering the Word ignites me on a whole other level the revealing of the Word glorifies Him and He blesses His people, what the Father sees that is done in secret He rewards. The more I seek Him the more I find Him, and the more His light shines from my being, others notice this glow, a radiant shine that honestly makes me feel so much better as I spend time with God and you will too.

I thank You Heavenly for all the opportunities of time I am able to spend with You and I ask for a protective covering over myself and the time we spend together as well as for all who spend time with You Lord I pray a protective covering over all Your people while they seek You, the enemy wants to make us feel guilty for not being productive in a hustle and bustle to do sense but we are powering up and creating breakthrough when we spend time with You, the enemy wants to take that away from us making us feel selfish but You Lord equip us strengthen us and empower us each moment we spend with You, so I pray we press into more moments with the Lord in prayer and in the Word so we can overcome, prevail, and continually persevere to the greatness You have in store for all of Your people in every way. Lord, I pray breakthroughs come to those who are standing on Your Word for a specific promise You laid for Your people and that breakthrough happens today in Jesus’ name, the prevail is today, thank You Lord, in Jesus precious and Holy name, Amen.
