God equips the called

Proverbs 19: 21 “You can make many plans, but the Lords purpose will prevail.”

Often when opportunities come our way or when God calls us to do something, we ask why me? We feel like we are not ready or not good enough. There always seems to be someone else who is better equipped for the task.

Usually we simply need to step out in faith. If we always wait until we feel qualified, we probably would not get much done. When you surrender to Gods will for your life, He will lead you, give you favour and teach you what you need to know.

God will be the source of strength in areas where we feel weak. As Michelle Borquez says we must remember that God doesn’t give us things to do because He thinks we can, He gives us things He can do through us.

When God calls you towards something bigger than you could plan or imagine for yourself, know that He will lavishly provide for your needs. God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.

Finding God, in everyday life.

I believe one of my gifts is to encourage others and I love to encourage.  One of my favorite quotes is  by Ron Hutchcraft ministries "I love the word 'encourage' - when you do it you literally put 'courage in' too that person. Someone who may be more battered than you know, closer to going down or giving up than you can imagine. You never know when your encouragement might literally be the difference in that person’s life. When you’re bruised and hurting, it’s the person in your corner, who can get you back in the ring for another round" - Ron Hutchcraft. – …and so begins my new blog When you can feel Gods presence, regardless of what’s going on in your life there just seems to be an inner peace that you can feel right to your core - I think of it as the Holy spirit bringing comfort, joy, and everlasting love. Obviously when you are praising God and when things in your life are going well, His presence feels stronger and the peace that fills us as Christi...

The last few weeks I have had numerous discussions with various friends about dating non-Christians. Until recently I have been all for it - my reasoning - well you never know what God is doing and how or when He is going to soften peoples hearts and draw them near to Him. Sure I have always believed that you need someone similar to you, someone who has biblical qualities like integrity, is respectful of your beliefs and boundaries, is a good communicator etc. but I didn’t feel they really had to be totally sold out on God just because I am. Each to their own and hopefully one day they will come to know the lord. Early this year I went through a storm where I did not tell even my closest friends for a couple of weeks. While I was feeling alone, it just hit me, how when you are in difficult times you really want and need the person you are closest to and intimate with to be ready and willing to stand, fight and most importantly pray with and for you. Ephesians 6:12 "For w...

I saw eagles rising up and flying over South Africa. Singing unique sounds, united as one voice. As they sang and flew higher, feathers were falling, weighted by gold dust/glitter, they landed on South Africa. I was reminded, that we carry the very DNA of heaven, we are created IN HIS IMAGE. What we decree and declare releases heavenly DNA over our land. We are created to overflow - living water! As the gold dust and feathers touched the earth, the earth became full and the words we spoke began to take root, other eagle songs released "character words" that grew, multiplied and were fruitful. (Glitter is not easy to clean up and the more there is the longer it stays, often found long after we have created with it) Let's visualize the weight of our words as we continue to call things into alignment with heaven, so we as a nation, can be a light to others - a nation known for peace, integrity, unity and generosity- a nation ready to be a blessing! A nation rising up & l...
