New Year, New Season!

A couple weeks ago God gave me a Word that I knew in my spirit was for the 2020 year. And, that word is Fulfillment. I kept wondering if I heard Him right and even question Him... "Lord, did I hear you right?". Anyone who knows me well, knows I second guess myself constantly. I truly just want to do and say what I know that Lord would have me do and or to say. I don't want to be out of His Will for my life and want to make sure that what I am sharing, teaching, etc. lines up according to His Word, His purpose and His truth for the lives of others as much as myself. The Lord needs me to be more confident in what He says to me and through me. Why? Because that is a calling He has on my life; to share with others.

So I am now going to get personal with you. This past year 2019 has been a difficult time for me. Sure, I have been blessed. I have had some great things happen to me, fun times and places I got to enjoy, friends and family I got to share special time with, etc.. But, what I went through was different. I struggled physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually this past year. I cried all the time, every thing made me cry. I questioned God about things I believe to be truth, I second guessed the calling He had on my life, I didn't want to do anything, I was tired, sad at times and even fell into depression a few times. And, I kept wondering why? What was wrong with me? Why am I struggling so much this year? What the heck is going on with me? In fact, much over the last decade I could see things happening to me and in me. I could sense things in my emotions and in my spirit. As I journaled, God would speak to me and as always, I would write down what He told me. Through the years, (25 to be exact), I have had prophetic words spoken over me, and God too, has personally spoken to me. I have been to conference after conference, healing services, workshops, too many meetings to count. I even wemt back to school (Bible College) to further my education and am excited to say I graduate in the spring! Of course, this is in addition to my private time with the Lord. 

But, as the years have gone by, I could feel something happening to me. In 2019, I was beginning to feel discouraged, helpless, hopeless and tired. There would be times I would be like... "Lord, I'm tired!", "Lord, what do you want from me?", "Lord, why?". My questioning the "Doubt", the "Rejection", the "Waiting", the "Pulling away". the "times of Emptiness", the "Fear", oh my the wave of feelings and emotions I went through. I thought at times "Lord, I'm beginning to doubt, I'm beginning to think I heard you wrong, I'm beginning to question the very thing I know to be truth, I'm beginning to think you left me". But in the midst of all that emotion, I still knew He was there, I knew truth, I knew His Love, I knew His mercy, I knew His forgiveness, I knew He never left me, I knew He did speak, I knew my heart, I knew Him! I came to know that I was in the fire, being pruned, being tested, being prepared, being molded... He was getting me ready, truly ready, for what was and is to come. Getting me ready for the call. Getting me ready for His purpose. Getting me ready to truly help those whom He has called me to.

You may be asking, why am I sharing this all with you today? Because I don't believe I am alone. I believe that God's children have been going through alot these past few years. I believe that some have doubted, some have questioned, some have given up. But, I am telling you it's a New Season! A new day is approaching. A new year is coming. A new decade of possibilities. The time has come to lift your head, brush off your knees, and to forge forward. I know that FULFILLMENT is coming!

What have you been standing for, believing for, waiting for? What have you questioned God about? Whatever it is... It is coming! Hold on! Stand firm! Wait and Watch what the Lord is going to do in your life.

When God gave me the Word fulfillment, the first thing I did was look up the definition...here it is!

ful·fill·ment

 /fo͝olˈfilmənt/

 - the achievement of something desired, promised, or predicted (prophesy).

WOW, WOW, WOW! Read it again!

This morning (December 31st), when I awoke, this "feeling" of great anticipation, great joy and peace flooded my body. I feel like I am glowing. I have this knowing, settled in my spirit, that I heard Him right. I know without a shadow of doubt that promises are coming to pass beginning this year in 2020. I know it!!!

Stand for the healing, stand for that relationship, stand for the promotion, stand for your prosperity. Whatever it is STAND. Do not waiver. Get into His Word and find out what His Word says about it. There is going to be alot of change coming... your pain changing to the promise, your mess turning to a message, your doubt changing to hope, and your sadness turning to joy.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Psalm 130:5 says " I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;"

Isaiah 40:31 says "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Isaiah 43:2 says "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."

I pray that 2020 will be filled with every promise that you have stood for to come to pass in your life. I pray that His strength carry you, His love cover you and His peace fill you during this new year and new season getting ready to spring forth.

Happy New Year and many blessings always!

Until Next Time,

WOW, I didn't realize how long it's been since I wrote a Blog Post. Time can slip through our fingers and before you know it ,days turn into weeks, weeks into months and in some cases, months into years.

With the season of Fall approaching us, I wanted to touch base and write a few words about how we Fall Forward to success in life. You know, life is filled with many setbacks. We make mistakes sometimes every day. These mistakes can be very small or they could be life changing. But either way, if you address them with a good attitude, they can move you forward into a direction that can change your life for the better. It is all in how you look at it. Some people get so caught up in their mistakes, that they sit and fret about it, paralyzing them to move on. I have to say from experience that this is too often true. I too have been there and for what? All it did and does and allow the enemy to stop you for moving forward onto the journey in which God has for you. If you allow God to use those mistakes, those costly decisions to your good, your life would be forever changed and it can work for the good of others.

When we allow our lives to be unfolded for all to see and watch, you just don't know who it is touching. When they see you, brush off your knees, when they see you wipe your tears, when they see you sit up a little taller, when they see you begin again, and when they see you most importantly reach up to the Lord, it allows them to think and even say to themselves... "I Can Too"!

Think about life as a journey with many roads, mountains tops, valleys, thunderstorms and sunshine! We will have good days and bad. Some days we will take a road that leads us to the next step God wanted us on but the next day, week or even month could go by and you take another road and it ends you up in a dark valley wondering how did I get here or how the heck am I getting out of this. Reaching up to God and asking Him to get you back on the right road is the first step. Next, being obedient to what He says will begin to open your heart to new things, things you didn't even think about before. This obedience will eventually land you on a Mountain Top full of excitement and joy. Life is full of storms, bumpy roads and if we stay focused and obedient, it can give us some true sunshine too! As this all unfolds, others who don't know our Lord will be watching how you handle it all. And when we handle it with grace, they will want what we have... Him! You see, life is a roll coaster for all of us. We all have challenges in life. It's not that any of us are without them. What sets individuals apart is how we handle it.

So next time you think you are on the wrong course, ask the Lord. Allow Him to take these bad roads or valley you are in and lead you out of them onto a mountain top so that friends, family and acquaintances can see that all is possible when you trust in Him. All is possible when you allow Him to speak to you, guide you and teach you. And remember, your life is  teaching others what is possible. So next time you fail, think to yourself, "it's OK", "I'm OK" and fail forward to bigger and better. The most precious of gifts is sometimes those we receive from the failing places in our lives.

Have fun on this journey in life. Learn to Fail Forward. And, allow your life to be a message of hope to others.

Until Next Time,

Kim

Hello January 1st, 2019

Today, is a fresh start to healthy living. Getting rid of the "bad" foods we all eat during the holidays is the first step. Clean out those cupboards and replace the "not so good for you stuff" with fresh, whole food. Start today eating fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking at least 8 glasses of purified or spring water a day, getting rid of the chemicals (processed foods) in your diet, exercising at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, take sugar out of your daily habits, limit caffeine and most importantly start each day, before your feet hit the floor with our Lord. His Spirit is the one that will guide you and direct your day and give you the strength to eat what is best to fuel your body (His Temple). Remember, take diet out of your vocabulary. This isn't about dieting, it's about healthy living. What you put in your body WILL in fact affect your mind and your emotions... trust me! I look forward to this fresh start with you as we journey on to better health!

I've been thinking a lot lately about what it truly means to be transformed. The reason why is because my heart is so heavy with wondering why there are so many proclaimed Christians and yet their lifestyles are so far from showing the world that they serve Him. When we give Jesus our hearts and make Him Savior and Lord our lives are transformed spiritually in an instant but we are to be working out our salvation from glory to glory until His return. To say Jesus is Lord but you are going around acting like the world is contrary to His Word. We are to be imitators of Him. Acting like Him, speaking like Him, loving like Him, forgiving like Him, and behaving like Him. We should be walking in the fullness of His joy and peace even in the midst of our trials and tribulations. We should walk in kindness and forgiveness even when someone hurts us. An angry or bitter heart is a heart that God needs to heal because He can't fulfill all He wants to give us when we are being led by the ways of our enemy. Are we perfect? No. Does God expect perfection? No. But, does He expect us to be walking toward a life that when people see us or hears us, they know we are His? YES! It does ALL Christians a disservice when we proclaim to be His but act like the devil. The only one we are fooling is ourselves. I had a conversation with my husband just the other day and told him how sad I was for lost people and even just as sad for those who are blinded by the fact that they are living a life that is not pleasing to our God. True change first starts in the heart but it continues to change you in your thinking, in your speech, in your behavior and that is just the beginning. I truly believed if we knew just how much God loved us, we would want to love Him in such a way that our life would show it to the world. If you truly believed you were the Righteousness of Christ you would not be able to live contrary to it. Righteous thinking brings holy living. This is something I think all of us need to pray about, seek our hearts and ask our God, our Lord, to bring light, His light to our dark places. It is only then that we can see things for what they truly are and then live the life He has called us to. God shared a Prophetic Word with me and I know in my spirit that He told me that 2019 would be a year of MORE! If we want all that He is in our lives, then we will walk out every day with Him first and foremost in our days, our weeks and even our year. Let’s make 2019 a year to seeking His truth so we can live out our lives purposefully so we can enjoy all the blessings He has instore for us! Happy New Year…

Until Next Time,

This is the Season, this is the Reason!

OKAY... life is in the details, right?!? I was thinking about the details of life (I am a very detailed person) and thought to myself, "are you too detailed?", "do I care too much?". The answer I felt in my spirit was no! No because God is in the details!

It was in the details that God created the heavens and the earth. It was in the details that God created mankind, He was into the details when He asked Noah to build the Ark. He was in the details when he had the Temple built. He was in the details when He was planning out all of history from beginning to end. He was in the details in every story that took place in the bible. He was in the details with the very plan of Jesus’ birth. He was in the details of His death and resurrection and every detail when it came to the salvation of mankind. Every thing that ever happened there were people and places and things that had to take place. I truly believe with all my heart that when you take a detailed person, who is self-motivated, there is no stopping him or her. Why? Because God instilled those details inside of them. If you don’t plan, and write down those plans, how are you going to accomplish the very things God places in your heart? Habakkuk 2:2 says “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”

What has God spoken to you? What dreams has He given you? What ideas has He birthed inside of you? WRITE THEM DOWN. READ IT. BELIEVE IT. ACCEPT IT. RUN WITH IT. AND COMMIT TO IT. WHY? Because God gave it to you! He wants us to commit the plans to Him and trust Him! Allow others to encourage you and cheer you on the finish it. But… can you say but??? True determination, true motivation, true commitment comes from within. Within your very spirit where God spoke it to you. Only you can do the work, others can only encourage! You have to truly want what God has placed in your heart more than anyone else wants it for you. You have to dig deep to figure out what your why is. Know what you want to do or what God has shown you to do and run with it. So, get into every detail! Dig deep. Talk to yourself. Speak life (Zoe Life) into your own life. Then allow your mentors to continue to encourage you and uplift you and cheer for you. And remember, not only Jesus but ALL of heaven is cheering you on too, to finish your race that God has set before you.

Now you may be asking what does this have to do with This is the Season, This is the Reason! EVERYTHING! This season is a glorious time, the birth of our Savior. From the beginning of time He had a plan for mankind. A plan for you while you were still in your mother’s womb Jeremiah 1:5 says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Just like He had a plan for Jesus, He has a plan for you. And, there was and still is an enemy that is still trying to destroy God’s plan, not only for your life but all mankind. I read a book one time that told the story about the fight that took place in the heavens just to get Jesus to earth! Just like the devil trying to abort those plans, He also is trying to abort the plan for your life.

This the season… He came to earth, to show us the way. The way we should live, the way we should love, the way we should praise and worship and the way to have communion with the Father, the way to have victory, and the way to fulfill our destinies.

Tis the Reason... He was born so to Teach, to Reach and to Die. Die to self, and to save all mankind so we could have total and lasting victory!

Are we going to allow 2019 to be defined by what God did for us? What He has taught us? What He has purposed in our hearts?

The greatest gift ever given to men was two thousand and eighteen years ago in the form of a baby, born in a manger. The greatest gift we can give to Him is to live our life worthy of who He is! NOT just because of what He has done but TRULY because of who He is! He deserves ALL glory, ALL honor, ALL reverence!

Let's make 2019 a year of worth… worthy of the call our Lord place on YOU!

Merry Christmas and may 2019 be filled with ALL that He is!

Until Next Time,

Kim
