“Going forward in our walks with Christ takes a lot of trust on our parts..because anytime the Lord is going to advance us in our lives and in our walks with Him..then comfort is not really one of them things that fall into that category..Amen..because growing in Christ and moving forward in our walk with Him..requires that leap of faith on our parts..it requires that stepping up out of our comfort zones..it requires of us to be fully dependent upon Him and who He is..Amen..because growth does happen and lots of change happens when we know in and of ourselves we can do nothing..when we go up higher with the Lord and we are moving forward..it is going to be scary to say the least..it’s not going to be easy..because easy is what we can do in and of ourselves..Amen..but when it is something different that the Lord is doing it requires of us to fully..and I mean fully lean in on who Christ is..it is totally making us to know without a shadow of a doubt that to make it and to be able to make it then we have to abide in the Lord as the scripture says..John 15:4..because will know that if we don’t we can’t and we won’t make it or ever move forward..Amen!”

“But as well know that the beginning of a thing is always hard..but afterwards it is and it does get easier..Ecclesiastes 7:8..so don’t stop halfway in your walk and journey that Christ has you on right now at the present time in your life..but just know that whom He calls He equips..Hebrews 13:21..and as well know that you were made for such a time as this..Esther 4:14..Amen..so grow and be all that Jesus wants for you to be in your life..and move forward regardless of how hard it may seem to be..knowing that to whom much is given much is required..Luke 12:48..and you know what?..that’s okay!..because God is for us and God is with us..Romans 8:31..and simply knowing that alone should give great peace like nothing else we’ve ever known..for the Lord needs us to be willing and obedient just to say here I am Dear Lord if you can use anything, you can use me..Amen..so don’t keep giving God all the reasons and excuses as to why you can’t..or why it would never work out..just simply know that in Him you can and you will do all things..for God is always and forever in control..you see we may make our plans in life..but it is the Lord that directs our footsteps..Proverbs 16:9..imagine that..Amen..what a promise to lean on..and what a fabulous scripture to ponder..so move forward..doing new things..growing in ways you never thought possible..and trusting Christ like you’ve never trusted in Him before..for when God is doing a new thing it will not be easy for you..it’s gonna make you fully trust and fully lean on the Lord..it’s gonna grow you and who you are for Him..Amen!”

“But isn’t that what we all want in our lives?..to grow and do new things..to be moving forward not remaining the same..Amen..for there is a mighty work that needs to be done..but we have to grow first in and of ourselves so that will be able to get to that place to help and grow others in Christ..for we must be able to lead our own lives well..before others will trust us to help them lead their lives better..Amen..but to get to that place where the milk and honey is flowing in our lives..we must go through the growth to be able to fully experience the blessing..so let us all let go and let us all let God have His way in us and in our lives..knowing all to well that when we do our parts we can rest knowing that the Lord our God always and forever does His..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
