PEACE BE STILL

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank God for each of you daily and "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry".  I pray for you and that you are blessed daily of the Lord.

(Matthew 7:24-27) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man.  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Jesus is giving the people a parable here concerning their house.  He is not speaking about a building, he is speaking about their body.  God is saying to you that if you built yourself up in Him, when the winds blow and a flood comes in your life; you will be able to stand.  A rock is solid, and sand can be blown all over the place.  This is the difference between living a life with Jesus Christ or living a life without Christ.

If you are the type of person that does not give yourself time to read the Word of God or have daily prayer; most likely you are sand.  The enemy knows that you are sand and therefore, he finds it much easier to bring turmoil in your life.  As soon as something bad happens in your life, you fall down.  You end up making decisions that are not going to get you out of your storm.  You call all your girlfriends, instead of calling on the Lord.  Your foundation is not strong and you have a sand mentality.

If you are the type of person that reads the Word of God and pray on a daily basis, you have developed a rock mentality.  When the enemy comes to place turmoil in your life, you are not going to fall.  You know the blessings and promises that God has for you and you don't have time to waste by living a life without Christ.  When you are faced with difficult situations you know that God has already handled it for you.  You don't have to wonder or worry about it, you stand on God's Word.
When the flood comes and wind blows your will not fall because your foundation is a rock. 

Woman of God, in order to make it through this journey called life; you have to have a strong and solid foundation.  The foundation has to be what is on the inside of you.  It has to be the very essence of who you are in Christ.  You have to know that Christ sits on the right hand of God interceding on your behalf.  You cannot afford to be blown all over the place.   Your children count on you to guide them through life and if you are blown all over the place; you will not be able to give your children a solid foundation.   LET US PRAY!

Father God, I thank and praise you for your mercy and grace upon my life.  Lord, I pray for a closer relationship with you.  I pray that I am building myself on solid foundation.  Lord, I pray for your wisdom and understanding concerning your Word.  Lord, I thank you for making interceding on my behalf, in Jesus name, Amen.
