Going with God's flow

Did you know that God has flow? Well He does! We've been on this journey leading up to our Great Trek to New Zealand from July 2011.

We learnt that you can't stop the plan of God(try saying no to God), you can't delay it(make excuses why you can't do it) and neither can you run ahead(start doing things your own way), you have to just go with God's flow(His perfect will). We chose the latter and surrendered all to Him.

This isn't easy because we are leaving our comfort zone, the familiar and the people who we love and treasure all these years and walk on the water to get to a foreign land. We've never been to New Zealand but God gave us an assignment to do and we will do it!

When we heard the word of God for our lives, we just kicked into motion and did all that we needed to do and God was on the other side just clearing the path for us to follow. We realised that all we had to do was our part and God did His.

When we started running ahead, God put the brakes on and we had to wait for a period of over 2 months - nothing happened, nobody from Immigration spoke to us, nothing but total silence. Talk about patience, long suffering and faith. God was teaching us that He was in charge, not us and He was working things out behind the scenes.

We went to a Mall over the Christmas period and there were these massive, gorgeous ornamented balls suspended from the ceiling. I had this thought that all the blessings that God had for us were being suspended. We stood there and asked God to please release the blessings and I had this image of the balls falling one at a time over us and exploding into this beautiful light of blessing. God was in total control and nothing we could say or do would change the perfect plan that He had in store for us.

The blessing bombs started falling very fast and we experienced the hand of God in such an awesome and powerful way. God was teaching us His ways.

We are now at this place where we are leaving the known, not for the unknown but for the perfect will of God to be fulfilled in our lives. To be hidden in God is the most safe and peaceful place to be. He has given us such peace that only comes with trusting that our mighty God has us in the palm of His hand and won't let us go.

Go with God's flow and He will navigate you into His perfect stream(will) for your life!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1 : 9

God bless!

Your faith has made it happen!

In the words of Jesus Christ, 'Go, it will be done for you just as you have believed!'(Matt 8:13)

We were believing God to come through for us and we were specific in our request, we wanted a positive answer within the week. I imagined how the answer will come and the words that will be used. We prayed and asked God, stood on His word, believed God  and God came through within the week.

The centurion probably imagined how the healing would take place, believing that Jesus would say the word and his servant would be healed.

It is a matter of thinking about what you need, imagining how it will happen and then believing that Jesus would send the word and the situation would be changed.

You need to believe the word of God, it is not someone's opinion, or someone's insight, we are talking about the powerful words that God Himself speaks. 'So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.'(Isaiah 55:11)

We believe the gossip in magazines, the lies in the newspapers and what people think about us and yet when it comes to the word of God we not so sure or convinced that His words are true. Every word of God is pure, flawless and true.

God is not like man who lie nor the son of man that He must repent, what He said He would do, what He promised, He will surely bring to past.(Numbers 23:19).

Just believe, God honours His word above His name!

God bless!

Hold on, help is on the way!

When you think you are drowning and don't see a lifeline in sight, hold on help is on the way.

When you have fallen into a pit and cannot pull yourself out, hold on, help is on the way.

When you feel that nobody knows or understands what you are going through, hold on, help is on the way.

Call out to God, He will rescue you, trust in His unfailing love for you and He will take care of you.

Don't give up, don't give in, you have strength inside of you that is greater than any situation. Greater is He who is inside of you than He that's in the world.(1 John 4:4)

His strength is greater when we are weak. Tell God, 'God I am weak and I don't think that I can make it through this, I need Your help'. Wait, it won't be long when you will realise that you made it through one day, then the next and the next and pretty soon, your strength has returned and you have made it through the storm.

Don't forget to thank God for His help and acknowledge that you could never have made it without Him.

Remember that Jesus is only a prayer away.

May God be your comfort and strength in your trials and may your trials become tests that you have passed and now you have a progress record on how God has helped you through every situation.

Take courage, be not afraid, for 'God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble'(Ps 46:1).

God bless!
