Shipwrecked

Do you ever feel like the enemy has unleashed all of hell to keep you from pressing on toward the mark? Well, me too. Everything around me is mocking me, telling me I have it wrong, or I wont make it. But every bible study, devotional, book or sermon I turn to tells me to BELIEVE. Believe what? Well, He answered that for me today.

Recently He has shown me that the season I have been in is over. He called me to get into the boat and go to the other side(the new season). Well, I need a new level of faith before I can get to the other side, becuase the demons controlling my future are bigger than anything I have ever seen before. The great news is He who is in me is greater than those demons. All I have to do, is let go of me and accept the new level of faith. DUH! Why isn't that as easy as it sounds? Is anyone realting?

So as it turns about, because I have refused to accept my new level of faith, my boat has shipwrecked(think Paul in Acts 28). But like Paul, I must not quit, because I have a promise; I have a destiny. So now I must swim, and as the waves come crashing over my head, I will say "I believe God's promise. I will make it. I have a destiny."

About the time that I let go of me and told Him I was ready, that I can swim and I am ready and willing to keep going, He showed me that I don't have to swim at all. If I swim to the other side I will be exhausted and wet when I get there. He wants me to be dry and well rested.

What am I to do you ask? All I have to do is look up from the water. Jesus is holding His hand out. When I take it, and keep my eyes on Him, I can walk with Him to the other side! Praise God! Hallelujah!

So here I go. I took His hand and I am currently walking on water! I am keeping my eyes on Him(because we all know what happens if I don't), and I am BELIEVING, for what, I still do not know. But I am sure that His will for my life is so much more than I could ever hope for. So I trust Him and I believe.

And what about the mockers from hell? Well they are still there, but I am choosing not to listen to them, because I know how there story ends. They may think they can change my destiny, but they better think again. This chic is going to rise to all that He has for me baby! And she is going to do it with the grace and favor of the Lord upon her!

Now I urge you, dont't wait until your boat crashes. Go ahead and take His hand and walk with us to the other side my friends. I love you all, now come and join us!
