Say Yes Forreal… Are you willing to give it all up and obey the Lord no matter how much work you have put into it?

These were the words I heard from the radio station that pierced me. You know those times you hear

something profound and you take a swift left turn and think that it is for everyone else besides you?

Yip! That was me! Nevertheless those words stuck to me like white on rice. I did not realize what the Lord

was doing in the background. The ministry that God had birth was beginning to seem far off in the distance. I

even remember telling a ministry partner back in 2011 over the phone while washing dishes this, “You know

for some reason I cannot see this ministry past 3 years.”

We left it like that. Towards the end of last year I wrestled with so many things. I thought I was losing my

mind for sure. The things that the Lord was showing me was so much different from what I thought He was

showing me before. Fear begin to sink in and I of course begin to let it take its course and I started to allow

my inadequacies and what people thought to flood my mind and heart and soon I begin to speak death to

what the Lord was showing me.

This Month’s Verse Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. –Hebrews 4:16

When the new year had come I felt an even bigger shift and while I was in my morning prayer in early January

the Lord told me clearly to let go of the ministry and do this new thing He was calling me to and help my

husband more in the church plant.

But Lord, what if?

But Lord, how can I?

But Lord, there is so much work I have put into this!

Then the Lord being the good Father that He is reminds me that I would always say, “This ministry is the Lords

ministry (you know how we do)!” But is it really the Lord’s or is it just something we say to make ourselves

feel good and seem like a good Christian?

Are you really willing to give it all up and obey the Lord no matter how much work you have put into it?

Those words burned so bad. I was hurt. I was confused. My hands were clutched tight. Wow I really have a

problem with letting go. We all have this problem at times. There was no need to feel confused or be hurt.

Just go and obey the Lord!

Often the path that we see is a smooth and peaceful ride without a lot of bumps along the way. Or what we

see is so much more glorious than what the Lord shows us (SMILE). Do we want His will? Do we really? Yes

many can say YES LORD! YES TO YOUR WILL & YES TO YOUR WAY! But when He shows you something off the

radar from what you expected then saying yes is not so easy.

May I just say this? I just have to but Jesus is not playing with us. We are either going to be women that obey

the Lord or we will miss our season. Is the Lord telling you to let go of something that you have labored, cried,

prayed for and carried like a baby? Is the Father telling you your season is in the next set of things He is given

you but you are too busy agonizing over what was?

Please go with Jesus! The Lords plans are better and you need to go where His grace covers you. You do not

want to be in a place where He has told you to let go and then it becomes you doing it in your own strength.

Go where the grace of the Lord is to your next season. Trust Him He will not leave you nor forsake you woman

of God. I leave you with this verse to give you peace about your next step in moving into your new season

bearing much fruit for His kingdom…

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD

your God is with you wherever you go.”—Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)

Dear God,

We seem to be such busy “doers.”

There’s our “to-do” list and “honey-do list.”

When a friend is in sorrow, we tell them to let us

know if there’s anything we can “do.”

Even Saint Paul tells us that faith without works is

dead.

Yet —

Sometimes we’re so busy with the “works”

we forget about the faith.

Help me, O God, to keep in touch with you,

the wellspring of my faith.

Let me allow you, and not me,

to be the real source of my actions.

Let the source of my actions determine the course

of my actions. Amen.

—Peggy Ferrell

And give you peace.” -Numbers 6:24-26
