Happy Thanksgiving !

Psalm 1:3 King James Version (KJV)

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Last Year I was alone for Thanksgiving and honestly… it wasn’t bad at all. The previous year I was with some people that were from church, and it was fine.

During both times I was ok because of God. I come from a very abusive family and I do not have relationships with my father or mother. Sometimes its very hard and I do feel alone but I would rather be safe with God then continue in a cycle of abuse because of “family” (Genesis 12:1).

God Warned Me

Before 2019, God warned me and told me not to return to my family but I listened to family and went back and it was the worst mistake of my life. However, In September after very bad circumstances I made the choice to trust God and completely leave my family and this is why…

  • There was someone in the family who tried me sexually and he was related to me.
  • In my family there is a long history of sexual abuse and pretending like it didn’t happen in the name of “we’re family.”
  • I got tired and started calling on Jesus
  • And finally after watching Joseph King of Dreams God told me “I’m sending you to a far away land.”

and HE DID ! The very next day my bank account was almost empty and was on a train to Georgia….

was it scary…. yes? but God sent people to provide for me (that I did not know) on the train financially, food, and comfort. Can you imagine ? Througha time span of days God freed me from years of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.

  • Sometimes when you are dealing with abusive family members they will wait till they have gathered your trust to hurt you… but know that God always has someone that will shelter you through seasons.
  • This season if you feel that God is tugging at your heart to trust Him and believe Him… He did it for me and He will do it for you.

Abba,

I pray for those who are victims of sexual abuse. I pray that in this season you begin to expose it and rescue your children like a Father according to Romans 8:15. I believe in You king and I believe that you parted the Red Sea and I believe that You are a miracle working God. I love You King please I ask according to Matthew 7:7 to free your daughters.

Amen.

Love,

Dates With Jesus: The Passion Of The Christ

Isaiah 53:5 New King James Version (NKJV)

5 But He was wounded[a] for our transgressions,
He was [b]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes[c] we are healed.

***

The Bible says… that many are called but few are chosen (Matthew 22:14)… So this evening I am going to talk to the chosen. On this Dates With Jesus I had to be reminded what is the purpose of preaching the gospel. What was my foundation for? What I am striving for.. what is the over all goal of the gospel. In the movie of the Passion of the Christ.. You see that graphic and intolerable pain that our Savior Jesus Christ had to go through… and for you and me.

***

Honestly… it was never my desire to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.. I never wanted to… never cared… honestly I did not even want to be a Christian. But I am CHOSEN … But anyways..

In ministry we encounter “like Jesus” moments, seasons, and even years… Where people see you beaten, bruised, and broken and they still spit on you… They still gossip about you.. They still treat you like a dog.. They still make fun of you… and the crazy thing is… they are still jealous.. Which honestly I do not understand because trust me ministry is very difficult. but anyways.

Is these like Jesus moments, I have learned to crawl to Jesus.. I have learned to get on my face. This Dates With Jesus, reminded me that I can go to JESUS because He understands my pain (Hebrews 4:15).

I dont vent to people.. because well… people will always fail you. I have learned the power of the secret place…

Well What Are You Doing This For?

Because … well I love HIM… I have been through so much abuse and yet He chases me down like Gomer. I dont deserve God… but he has died for me.

Heed this warning about ministry…

… take your time to draw close in God now or you’ll lose him later.

In life we go through hard seasons where it feels like God has completely abandoned us. It feels like God is nowhere to be found. In The Bible Numbers 23:19 tells us that God is a not a man that He should lie nor a son of man that He SHOULD repent !

So whatever you are going through today know that God is with you.
