Well I’m back! After a 2 month sabbatical, I am finally back with wings spread wide! I decided to take some time off from the Butterfly Journey in order to get clarity and direction from the Lord. Like Joseph, I knew the dream and vision God had given me, but still something didn’t feel quite right. I was struggling with the details.
I read and prayed a lot for the direction and clarity that I needed and boy was it refreshing to hear from the Lord on so many levels. He is so wonderful, He gave me what I needed and more.
These are the things that God shared with me:
- This journey (ministry) is my life’s purpose! Keeping the end result in mind at all times; winning souls back to God. Helping people be “free” in understanding just how much God loves them – priceless!
- There is a preparation stage. That means “testing”; we need to allow God to perfect our gifts and the spiritual things that we need in order to complete the assignment.
- There is a process. God is a God of order and every step needs to be followed through His instructions.
- Keeping the Faith. God will give us, ask us, tell us to do things that we may not understand at the moment. Prayer is essential for the journey.
- Conquering Fear. Allowing fear to come in to the equation will stop you dead in your tracks. We have to know and read the word of God to remove fear.
- Commitment. Never, ever, ever give up on your journey! Press!
- Rest. God rested on the 7th day and we should too, don’t allow the “things” of life, even ministry to consume all of your time, remember that it is all about the Lord and we need to refresh our spirits, mind, and body every once in a while. Don’t love the gift more than the Giver!
I pray that you will find answers and understanding for your life as we journey together. Be steadfast and unmovable in your faith to God! He has so much to show you and give you, open your wings and find freedom in living your life to the fullest through Him!
Be blessed!
