I've had a rough last two week, but it's okay because I know that when things get rough I must be doing something right.
You see, I'm a visionary and God has given me the vision of Church Building. I've met others that say what God is telling them to do, but somehow just can't seem to take that first step. With me God will push and propel me into action. I've accepted His call and I knew that there would be a struggle against the power of darkness because Satan really can't stand to see us walking in our gifts with purpose. I knew it would have something to do with family because that's a place that Satan loves to use against us. Nothing can cause you as much pain as family. Nothing can anger you as much as family and nothing can disappoint you as much as family. I was hit hard financially by a family member and I struggled to fill that hole. As I was struggling I was also having feelings of hurt, anger and disappointment. Even feeling all these emotions I had to keep going, but it was a serious battle. I spoke forgiveness, but did I really forgive the offender. No, I didn't because the incident kept playing over and over in my mind. I could not stop thinking about what had happened and the repercussions of the act that I was feeling. Every 10 or 15 minutes I would think about it. It was trying to control me and it almost did. Now let me tell you about testimonies. Testimonies not only help others but it also helps ourselves. Last weekend I was giving testimony all over the place and with every testimony I gave (of unrelated events) I felt the bondage begin to loosen. I was helping myself guys. Yesterday right in the mist of another testimony, I began to go up and my heart released the forgiveness that I had been seeking. I began to tell our Father that the money never belonged to me to begin with and I was thankful that He was my true provider. I forgave the offender and release them with a declaration that I won't make anymore phone calls. I had to let it go and when I let it go, in rushed the peace of God! I'm still in the struggle natural but it's no longer a struggle in the spirit. My spirit is free from every bondage the enemy had me wrapped up in. I saw the distraction for what it was. Satan was trying to make me back-step. He didn't want me to keep going forward. But I stayed in motion. You see when we are inactive Satan will try and push the door open to doubt and unbelief. Don't allow it. Keep testing your faith to strengthen it. Keep walking in your calling to strengthen it. Keep exercising your gifts with purpose to strengthen it. Keep moving forward. When you are not in motion you hear Satan's voice more clearly the longer you sit still. Then he has an opportunity to deceive you, but he can't get but a pinch of your shirt if you keep moving forward. It's more easier to escape a pinch of clothing than a clasp around your throat. Keep it moving and keep forgiving. If you are finding it hard to forgive begin to give testimony of all the great things Jesus has done for you. Not just to others but also to yourself. There is strength in your testimonies. Begin to draw on that strength to feed your forgiveness. You can't stop now! You can do everything that our Father God called you to do and you can defeat every devise of the enemy, but you have to keep moving forward. Be blessed!
