It Can Be Overcome

" Burdened?" Absolutely

"Heaviness?" Definitely

These are the two words and feelings I can relate to some days but mostly at night. It's not issues and trials I'm battling with but those of others and I feel it weighing me down. God has called us to serve and in turn He serves us if we allow Him to.
Now, that is one invitation I will never refuse. I know what it is to carry burdens for days, months and years on end. I laid it at the cross, even the ones to come in Jesus name. – But there are people who doesn't  know how to lay it down. There are people who knows about Jesus, but all they can think of is, there's a God who punish people if they tell Him about their problems.
I believe that is where we come in. God wants us to serve others and teach them about this wonderful God who is really eager to listen to us. He wants to love on us and not want us to be afraid.
At the moment I feel burdened, heavy and cast down. I listen to people. They open up to me and in the process, trusts me with their issues. That is such a huge responsibility. When someone puts their trust in you, you are so cautious because of past mistakes and you feel that the enemy is testing you. – but today I am certain this is not the enemy, this is God wanting me to see that I can do it. This is God showing me that I can be trusted and the past is long gone.
God wants to free me of other people's burdens and He tells me it can and will only be overcome by prayer and fasting. God is yet again reminding me, it is not about me. It is not about what I want. I have a need to yet again take those burdens to Him by earnestly praying and fasting for those who trust me. He will turn it around for them. They will begin to see who the Burden Lifter is.
I am determined to hear you've had breakthrough. I am determined to see you walking and living life lighter. I am determined to let go of all burdens, give it to God by prayer and fasting, until I see  and experience breakthrough in all areas in my life. This is a birthing process, waiting to be delivered full term, by prayer and fasting that pleases God.
It is not about me. It's about the one who seeks change so desperately. Because they seek, they will find in Jesus name. "Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;...." Isaiah 58...

Where and how to stand

I must admit, it's really hard sometimes to stand your ground, but it is possible. There are time you've been through so much that- you see yourself praying, asking God for help, but it's impossible to put it into action. You feel defeated. You feel hated by God even though you know it's not true. This is what This is what happens when you are not grounded in God's word. You can easily be tripped if you don't make time for the word of God.

The word of God is truly a lamp unto our feet and light on our path. It makes issue so much lighter, it even takes it away when we wholeheartedly trust the Light. We don't have to be in darkness. We don't have to wonder, "where to from here?" We can be sure that whatever comes our way, we are assured that our Saviour to save us. God wants to help us prosper in every area of our lives, but it cannot happen if we are still stuck on the old patterns that brings us back to where we started. We have to let go of old patterns and replace it with God's word. "Stand your ground. . . . Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers."

—Ephesians 6:14, 18, nlt

They Depend On You

I've been temping at this company for three months now and the amount of trust place on me is so overwhelming. I feel sad to think there are so many people just looking for someone to talk to. They just looking for someone to listen and to occasionally give some sound Godly advice.

I signed a four month contract and I pray that I will not leave this place full. I want to leave empty. I want to give all that I am, all that I have been given by God and just pour it out in this place.

We were not created to live life on our own or for ourselves. Yes, we do need some time to tend to ourselves in order for us to be healthy and whole.

WE CANNOT GIVE OF OURSELVES TO A BROKEN WORLD WHEN WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH BROKENESS OURSELVES.

 After hearing another broken person opening up to me this morning, I am compelled to yet again change the way I look at life. Life requires me to constantly make decisions and change my strategy towards people and my daily tasks. It is imperative that I stay focused on God's plan for my life, be healthy, whole and love unconditionally. That is what this broken world needs. They don't need another judgemental conversation from a person who claims to know it all just because they went through something. They need to look into your face and tell themselves; "This is the person God sent on my path, and I feel comfortable sharing."

I want to be that person with the face that says "sent by God."  

God desires us to be well. We are not perfect, but we can be healthy. We are not trial free. We are not issue free. We are free from condemnation because our sins are no longer Ours to bare. We are free when we decide to lay all our imperfections at the feet of Jesus and listen to a hungry, needy person, who just need someone to talk to.

I decided to decide daily to be the change myself and everyone else longs to see. The work place needs you. Your church needs you. Your family needs you. The person on the street needs you,  and I believe God needs you to be rest in Him so He can work through you.

Giving Birth - Natural / Spiritual Relieve

Isaiah 26:17

"As a woman with child
Is in pain and cries out in her pangs,
When she draws near the time of her delivery,
So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.
We have been with child, we have been in pain;
We have, as it were, brought forth wind;
We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

The vision, an embryo, conceived by the spirit of God Implanted in the womb of the spirit receives nourishment from the word of God, Via the umbilical cord of faith. Although there may not be outward signs
In the spirit something monumental has occurred.

There are some common signs of pregnancy before one begins to "show" Some experience digestive problems--the body begins to reject food it once loved while others experience an increased appetite, and or, an intense craving for a particular food. Not to mention the hormonal changes that causes the pendulum to swing abruptly from one emotion to another.
And what of the timing of this event-- Is it an inconvenience?
And if declared to be such, easily aborted.

If the pregnancy is allowed to continue and crosses the hurdle of miscarriage,
Soon after the first flutterings are felt and there's no doubt-
YOU'RE HAVING A BABY.
You're nine months now. Feet are swollen
You waddle here and there, you're weary, heavy and ready for this baby to come.

The first stirrings signal that labor has begun. During the night the baby has positioned himself to enter the world. The contractions begin slow and steady and increase in intensity and duration. Between contractions you try to rest and regroup awaiting the next contraction that will usher you into destiny.
You have resisted the temptation to abort the mission, because of fear and pressure and the urge to please. You have not allowed past failures to cause you to miscarry.
Now you face the greatest attack--you're so close to giving birth
Yet exhaustion from the loss of blood and pain endured(there was no epidural),
You find you're so close, but you're strength has been depleted
And the urgency you felt is diminished.

But if you listen closely, you'll hear your coach(paraclete, helper) say:
PUSH!
Your spirit will arise and say, " Your deliverance is in this baby, purpose and destiny are in this baby"
You'll be able to plant your feet firmly in the "stirrups of promise" And begin to bear down with the next contraction.
Against Frustrations and Attacks from the adversary-
PUSH!
Against Oppression and Depression-
PUSH!
I can hear the midwife say; "I see the head! A few more good pushes,
And we'll have a baby."
Against Opposition-
PUSH!
Disappointments and Tears-
PUSH!
Until at last you hold in your arms, your purpose that allows you to walk in your destiny.

Isaiah 66:7-9
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pains came, she was delivered of a manchild. Who hath heard such things? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? Saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? Saith thy God.
