Eat and Drink ! Finding Joy In The Hard Times

Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 New International Version (NIV)

24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?

Everyone goes through HARD TIMES, but what does The Bible say? I have learned to lack and experience overwhelming abundance! (Philippians 4:12-13 TPT)

When we go through hard times the devil has a knack of swarming you with lies to make you feel like God is no where to be found…. BUT LET ME tell you something. God is omnipresent which means He Is Everywhere… When our Lord Jesus Christ was being crucified He said very powerful things that show we have moments that we have to ask God… why?

  1. “Father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do” – (Luke 23:34)
  2. “Nevertheless Not My Will, But Thine, Be Done.” – (Luke 22:42 KJV)
  3. “A kiss, Judas? Are You Really Going To Betray The Son of Man With A Kiss?” – (Luke 22:35 TPT)
  4. “You Are The Ones Who Say I Am.” – (Luke 22:70 TPT)
  5. “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.” – (Luke 23:28 NIV)
  6. “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” – Luke 23:43 NIV
  7. “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” – Luke 23:46 NIV

In life we go through cross carrying days. We have to. Sometimes all you can do is pray and rest.

When I Was In The Wilderness

In Lancaster, California… In the desert… On The other side of the Mountain I LEARNED how to be grateful and abound with nothing. In my hard times I learned how to enjoy the portions of food God gave me. If I am shopping at The Dollar Store for groceries or Whole Foods, I will STILL BLESS GOD. Today do not complain so much about money but focus on God. The Bible tells us that your wealth will sprout wings and go (Proverbs 23:5). You have to learn that The PROVISION of God carries you into places of Favor, Grace, and Promotion even your Salvation where MONEY will never carry you.

This Even Ties Into Marriage

God has shown me that 2020 is the year of Marriage… Now whether you keep your marriage past 40 days is up to you. What Does The Bible say? Money is the root of all evil . Would you let money be the downfall of your marriage?

***

Scenario: Lets says your future husband has a jealous banker…. and all of sudden. The Bank Account is frozen…. And the jealous banker is saying ” We don’t know when this is going to be worked out.”

Are you

A) Going To Leave your God sent husband like a fool and go chase your stupid old boyfriend

B) Stay With Him (your God sent husband), Pray and cover Him As God Works This Out… While Trusting God

C) Or choose B because its the correct answer.

..

Well if you chose B or C you passed the test. Amen? Amen .. In Jesus Name.

***

Let me tell you something, when you are dealing with money and banks it can TAKE YEARS for things to get worked out. It Can Take MONTHS… DAYS.. WEEKS…. That is not a excuse to abandon your future marriage.

So take these seasons of being moneyless to draw closer to God, because their could be a major reward waiting for you at the end of this test.

Devotional: Is It Time For Me To Leave

God Cares About Your Safety

I am firm believer that we as Christian’s take GRACE way to far. Grace is not spitting on your spouse and then apologizing for it later … expecting everything to be ok. Grace is not punching your husband/or wife in a dosmetic violence situation and then praying for God to forgive you.. GRACE is not child abuse and sexual exploitation. Grace is the love and blood that JESUS shed on the cross for our sins.. To call those who were unworthy to preach HIS gospel of repentance to the nations. That is grace.

Proverbs 31:30 says

***

By HIS grace I have been saved… but it is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ… because He Is Coming soon.

but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength]. Now I have become foolish; you have forced me [by questioning my apostleship]. Actually I should have been commended by you [instead of being treated disdainfully], for I was not inferior to those super-apostles, even if I am nobody. The signs that indicate a genuine apostle were performed among you fully and most patiently—signs and wonders and miracles. For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except [for the fact] that I did not burden you [with my financial support]? Forgive me [for doing you] this injustice!
2 CORINTHIANS 12:9‭-‬13 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/2co.12.9-13.AMP

Grace will you carry you through the hard times… Grace is NOT a band-aid over abuse. You reap what you sow. With that being said.. God is calling his people out of abusive marriages. According to Malachi 3 there should be a difference of his people and the world.. There is about to be a SERIOUS distinction. If you are in a abusive household do not turn against those who are trying to help you and trust God to carry you through the healing process. God bless you guys.

Prayer

God I pray that you deliver those who want to be free from abusive marriages in Jesus Name –

So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free.
JOHN 8:36 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.8.36.AMP

God hear the cry of the people I pray that you move past fears and run to the arms of the Father.

Amen.

In Christ With Love ,

What I Learned From Ruth

May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord , the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Ruth 2:12 NIV
https://ruth.bible/ruth-2-12

Coming Back To God

I am someone who left God , went back to sin …. got destroyed … and then came back to God… And this is what I learned from Ruth.

It Doesn’t Matter

When I was sin I used to date drug dealers and men who were in gangs. Actually I left God and yet He was still calling me … telling me to return unto Him. And I did… but I had to deal with the natural consequences of my sin.

When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile. Ruth approached quietly, uncovered his feet and lay down. In the middle of the night something startled the man; he turned—and there was a woman lying at his feet! “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she said. “Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are a guardian-redeemer of our family.” “The Lord bless you, my daughter,” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor. And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.
Ruth 3:7‭-‬11 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/rut.3.7-11.NIV

Marriage Is Beautiful

I guess when it comes to marriage I’m kind of like the Apostle Paul. I never wanted to be married because I was always able to take care of myself. I never needed anyone and I was kind of prideful about it… Until I lost everything … I never knew how mean people can be when your heart is broken because I always had money… I used money to fill voids of pain and accept my hurt when it was gone…

But How Does This Relate To Ruth

Ruth lost her husband and had to leave her family.. (Ruth 1:16-17) she had to leave something that was dead and trust God through poverty, through work, and a new found faith. What is dead in your life ? I know for me my old life in California , my wealth , and my dreams are dead… and I have left my family like Ruth … and somehow I have to faith it and gather the strength like Ruth to move forward ..

I love Ruth’s character … because let me tell you dating thugs and drug dealers are not it honey .. trust me I know from experience.

Boaz was a older man I believe and that’s beautiful. Because of Ruth I have lost the desire for a worldly man. A man that fears God, loves the Bible, and is stable is a good man. Not these stupid rappers and drug dealers… that’s a fantasy that I dont want.

A Woman

I have learned like Gomer … you can leave God and be with men that buy you things but the moment … you hold your ground and your foundations of God kick in they are going to leave you. A man that loves God is a man for me. Christian men (real Christian men not pretenders) are the men that women should desire…. who wants a thug when you can have God ?

After the Sin

You’re left with a broken heart…. but if you work and trust God like Ruth HE (Psalm 24) will redeem you.. God I thank you in advance …

Today

Think about your dating choices as a Christian because they matter. Dont pursue thugs, drug dealers , rappers, and men who ONLY talk about money.

Focus on God… if God sends you a prophet as a husband love him…dont make fun of him for loving God…. if He sends a witness as your husband love him… because trust me life of the other side of recovery isn’t easy. Think before you act in your relationships and ask for wisdom.

Amen ? Amen.

By His Grace ❤

Devotional : Trusting God Through The Hard Times

Psalms 1:3

Jacob loved Joseph more than any of his other children because Joseph had been born to him in his old age. So one day Jacob had a special gift made for Joseph—a beautiful robe. But his brothers hated Joseph because their father loved him more than the rest of them. They couldn’t say a kind word to him. One night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him more than ever. “Listen to this dream,” he said. “We were out in the field, tying up bundles of grain. Suddenly my bundle stood up, and your bundles all gathered around and bowed low before mine!” His brothers responded, “So you think you will be our king, do you? Do you actually think you will reign over us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dreams and the way he talked about them. Soon Joseph had another dream, and again he told his brothers about it. “Listen, I have had another dream,” he said. “The sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed low before me!” But while his brothers were jealous of Joseph, his father wondered what the dreams meant. When Joseph’s brothers saw him coming, they recognized him in the distance. As he approached, they made plans to kill him. “Here comes the dreamer!” they said. “Come on, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns. We can tell our father, ‘A wild animal has eaten him.’ Then we’ll see what becomes of his dreams!” So when Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped off the beautiful robe he was wearing. Then they grabbed him and threw him into the cistern. Now the cistern was empty; there was no water in it. Then the brothers killed a young goat and dipped Joseph’s robe in its blood. They sent the beautiful robe to their father with this message: “Look at what we found. Doesn’t this robe belong to your son?” Meanwhile, the Midianite traders arrived in Egypt, where they sold Joseph to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Potiphar was captain of the palace guard.
Genesis 37:3‭-‬9‭, ‬11‭, ‬18‭-‬20‭, ‬23‭-‬24‭, ‬31‭-‬32‭, ‬36 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/gen.37.3-36.NLT

Let’s Think About Joseph

Joseph was chosen by God and had dreams that came to pass… Joseph didn’t ask for the dream, He just had them. Because Joseph was God’s anointed and His chosen his brothers hated him.. Not only that they made plans to hurt Joseph to trap him but they didnt know that God was still in control.

When People Come Against You You may have not done anything wrong , you may have just done what God told you to do and people are coming against you….. but you have to keep going. Joseph went through a 13 year process there were times that he wondered … God why ? Why me ? But God had it in his plan to bless Joseph to save His people !

The Dreams Are Real I am not talking about fantasies … I am talking about dreams. Don’t quit the process and don’t give up. Dreams of you preaching the gospel, dreams of you in government for God, and dreams that God gave you best selling books ! It may take a while but you have to keep going ! Be gracious and dont quit ! Serve like Joseph and trust God … struggle now , faith forever, and bless God for eternity !

But God ❤,

Diamond

Devotional : My Bible

Joshua 1:8-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. 9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

In our day to day lives we have to be determined to hold on to what we have … don’t be paranoid and don’t live in fear but know that God is with you. Care more for other people, take your Bible with you to work you’re going to need it. Read The Bible and pray for those who have cancer. Cherish every moment God gives you because life is so short. Let Him heal you from every pain and know that He really does care about you.

Isaiah 53:5 New Living Translation (NLT)

5 But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
    He was whipped so we could be healed.

Amen …

But God ❤
