God’s Pace

6 Jesus replied, “Now is not the right time for me to go, but you can go anytime. 7 The world can’t hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of doing evil. 8 You go on. I’m not going to this festival, because my time has not yet come.” 9 After saying these things, Jesus remained in Galilee. (John 7:6-9)

God knows His place. He knows His timing. He is not threatened by the urgency put by…

Do You Have Enough Oil?

6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some foryourselves.’ 10 “But while they were on their way to…

Is Your Lamp Filled With Oil?

Matthew 25:9 (TPT)

9 “‘We can’t,’ they replied. ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. You’ll have to go and buy some for yourselves!’

At the end of the day, you will only be responsible for your own lamp – you cannot give or cannot take from or to others. It is your responsibility to fill your own lamp with oil – your relationship with God and your responsibilities towards Him. Others may come…

Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” But he gave them strict orders not to tell who he was. -Mark 3:11

Typical out-of-line action is when we go ahead of our time.

Not only it is out-of-line, it is also what the evil spirits did to Jesus. They spoke out of the timeline of when Jesus wanted to reveal himself to the people.

Of course…

“They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned!”

Acts 2:4 TPT

It is the Holy Spirit that empowers us in something we may not ever have learned. Feeling like you’re completely out of others’ league in many areas? The Holy Spirit empowers.

Belle, what are you not well-versed on…

You Know You’ve Grown When…

“But that doesn’t matter. Whether their motives are false or genuine, the message about Christ is being preached either way, so I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:18‬ ‭NLT‬‬ You know you’ve grown when others’ motives don’t affect your work anymore. You just keep going on your own lane while everyone drives in their own. You know you’ve grown when you’d rather see the…

Housing God’s Presence

And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. -Ephesians 2:22 Now that we are believers, God calls us to be built together to be the dwelling place of the Spirit of God. We used to live for ourselves but as we’ve given our lives to the Lord and his rulership, we no longer live for ourselves but for Him. We ought to be the place where the Spirit…

Psalm 97:10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,     for he guards the lives of his faithful ones     and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. It has been a long time since I posted something here. My forearm is completely sore from climbing the other night and I am having a hard time writing on my Moleskine. So I’m here typing my thoughts away on this verse. In the history of David’s…

Well, today is a very interesting day. I can only say I am not at 100% still. Ears are clogged and I have to do some errands. Had to get a smog check & all that’s done after dropping off Julia to a friend’s birthday party. My phone screen shattered on Tuesday so I gotta get that fixed. I am waiting for Apple’s text to get me in so I am just venting my heart out here outside in the patio. I wish I…

Though You Slay Me

I come, God, I come Return to the Lord The one who’s broken The one who’s torn me apart You strike down to bind me up You say You do it all in love That I might know You in Your suffering Though You slay me Yet I will praise You Though You take from me I will bless Your name Though You ruin me Still I will worship Sing a song to the…
