“Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 NLT
Hello and welcome to my journal. Life in the valley can be very difficult, but we need to remember that God is always faithful. Right now I’m in a valley, being tested and pruned so that in God’s time I’ll be ready to walk out of this valley victorious. What I’ve been doing as I’m waiting is spending time with God and keeping on doing what He’s already asked me to do. I’m clinging onto hope because God is my firm foundation. God is faithful and I know that He will never let me down, and I’m going to stay faithful to Him. He has shown me His faithfulness all the time and I know His love through that. God gives me dreams and wakes me up at certain times. As you read my journal my hope is that even though I’m in a valley in my life, I hope you will be inspired to always keep your heart open to God no matter what’s going on in your life, because God is a God of Love and He always has a Good plan for our life. He knows how to lead us; we just need to trust Him and follow Him. Very often God draws my heart to Him through love songs and intimacy with Him in dreams, because as part of the bride of Christ, Jesus is my husband. My love for God/Jesus keeps on growing as I continue to pursue Him. During the night God wakes me up at certain times with either a word from Him and/or a dream. So here’s my journal entry for today…
Conversation
Papa, there is no one like You! I worship You my God and my King, forever and ever amen!
I love you My darling. Come, you are Mine.
Papa, my heart is wide open for You. I want to know Your thoughts. I want to know Your love in a deeper way for me, my family, my community, my church and for the world.
“Love on them”
Yes Papa, I will love on them more than I have been doing. I feel like You’ve taken my heart into Your hands and You’ve been slowly reviving and bringing new life into it. I can feel Your love in my heart. I sense Your revival, that these difficult days are over or soon will be over. Please help me bear whatever is left of this journey. Papa, I’m sensing the word, Done. Then let it be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let Your Kingdom come and let Your will be done!
Come My faithful one. It is time (to be done). Rest, for I am near. You are Mine.
Papa, You’ve given me the sword of wisdom a long time ago. I don’t even know if I’ve picked it up. I hope I have. How can I use it?
Pray
Help me to pray effectively. I’m sensing the word, Trust. Every day Papa I will put my trust in You. I sense Your smile. Thank You Papa, I cherish this.
All is well with you My darling. Never give up. I am always near to you. I love you.
Dreams, Visions and Reflection
12:21 “Dad, you’re killing em!” In my vision it was like I was watching a movie. I had a vague picture of something flying into someone’s mouth, and he began to choke on it.
11:34 ”needed another one to run his” ..a conversation between some guys about something technical-vague.
11:39 “for the country Darrell” felt like I was watching a movie.
11:44 “fair enough” “fair statement “ Lyrics, “You have overcome” “By the blood”
11:48 In a vision I saw someone put a wooden doll down. It reminds me of a puppet, the way the limbs were linked together.
11:56 I heard in my heart someone asking something about a road trip, “did you see him on your road trip?”
12:11 In a vision I saw a bridge going over a crevice inside a cave (I only saw the right side). There was a woman with long blonde hair sitting at her desk (I saw her back and hair), feeling like she was writing, and I saw a man on the bridge, stepping onto the ground where she was. I saw a striped blanket was laid over the railings (and I had a knowing it covered the bridge floor) on her side (right) of the bridge, and the man walked on it to get to her. The stripes were horizontal with the bridge.
12:23 In a dream or vision I saw someone shaking. As I was praying in my prayer language before bed, I was shaking because of Holy Spirit.
12:56 I dreamt something about government or court.
2:11 I woke up having a feeling about a train and hearing the lyrics, “I’m going to be on it!”
4:55 “Alongside” (Right before waking up I heard this word) Lyrics, “I’ll take you at your word. If you said it I believe it…”
5:03 “The courage of life” (I heard this in my heart right before waking up.)
5:26 As I’m praying, the word, “mantle” came to mind as I thought of the blanket that was laid over the right side of the bridge. It reminds me of the dream I had a long time ago when I put a cloth on the couch beside me on the right, for Jesus to sit on right before he sat down beside me.
10:17 “Thawing” I fell asleep and heard this word right before I woke up.
This morning Holy Spirit is filling my cup with His love… My heart is in awe of who God is and how much He loves me… I worship Him with all my heart. How Great Thou Art! Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder. Consider all the world thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder. Thy power throughout, the universe displayed. Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee. How Great Thou Art, how great thou art. Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee. How great thou art how great thou art. Then when I think, that God His Son not sparing. Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in. That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing. He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee. How great thou art how great thou art. Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee. How great thou art how great thou art!
When Christ shall come with shouts of acclimation. Then take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration. And then proclaim my God how great thou art!
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee. How great thou art how great thou art. Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee. How great thou art how great thou art!
I know God is faithful, and I trust Him… I’m going to be ordering some books from Amazon. I came across some new recipe’s I’d like to try! I’ll make sure to talk about them when I do! I sensed to use the scripture above. Love and Blessings…
I’m so glad I saw the reminder about the online Bible Study tonight! I was cleaning in the kitchen until 8:30. A big thing for me about praying for other people is belief. I think for most of my life I haven’t believed that praying for people actually did anything. My journey with the Lord over the past 10-15 years has helped me to see that prayer really is effective, and that God partners with us when we pray. I believe that prayer is what God is waiting for in order to help. When we pray consistently it helps to grow our faith muscles. If we don’t give up, it grows our endurance, our perseverance, our love for God and our knowing His love for us in our heart and not only in our mind. It also grows our love for other people, and this is the second commandment; love God first and others second. I think all of Gods character grows in us when we spend time with Him in prayer. God wants to be pursued because it shows that we love Him and want to be near Him. It also shows Him that we think He’s important because we’re making room for Him in our life and also in our heart. We also love being pursued because of the same reasons. I feel loved by God and Jesus because they always pursue me, and it’s because God loved me first is why I can love Him in return, and I do… Prayer also restores my hope and courage. I’ve learned that I can’t do anything in my life’s journey in my own strength. And I’m so glad because it makes me be dependant on Him.
I’m reading a book titled, The Heart of Heaven, and it’s really helped me to know the importance of prayer because prayer is so effective. Having said all of that, I now believe that God hears my prayers, that He acts when I pray even when I can’t see results, and He draws me close when I pray. This is how He changes me to be more like Him. When Gods says it, I believe it!! I’ll take Him at His word; if He says it, I believe it!!! Something else I got from the teaching is to ask God for help, and ask Him how He wants to move in my situation.. to have His perspective and not just my own. I’m asking Him to help me..I’m following God, Jesus because of my love for Him… Goodnight… 🫰🏼
