Insight Gets Us in line

Last week I asked a group of sisters for prayer for more capacity, because I felt so busy to start this assignment along with a few other ones on my plate already, but God so graciously, yet sternly reminded me through my sister in Christ that I had all the capacity already but needed INSIGHT and how my obedience was not about me, but the generations and nations attached to my obedience. I knew that mentally, but it never convicted my heart the way it did that, because who God chose to use to spiritually spank me. This sister in particular has never met me in person and we had literally just connected over a group in GroupMe that very week. My stubborn self needed that exhortation so badly and though my flesh wrestled to receive the truth about walking fully in the beautiful boldness God has bestowed on and in me, it eventually surrendered and submitted! That was the day a spirit of timidity broke off of me. That was the day I was ready to looooove deeper and more tenaciously even in spite of all the unknowns that come. I’m so Grateful for sisters and brothers in Christ who speak truth to you in love even when in stings. Spiritual spankings are so good for us!

I’ll let you peek in on the conversation from last week...

My prayer request.. (my flesh wanted pity…)




But my spirit got this spanking instead! (My stubborn butt needed it!




All I could do was receive it, repent and get started!

Now it’s your turn!

What push do you need to get started on the assignment(s) God has asked of you to do? Don’t make me come over there and spank you!

May this push given to me also propel you forward. Put your hands to the plow; God will do the rest. Simply get started by faith beloved! Souls are attached to our assignments and our obedience. Let the mission of Christ and His love compel you!

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
    bind them around your neck,
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
    in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.[a

-Proverbs3:3-6
