In the Midnight Hour

In the Midnight Hour

Written: October 31, 2011

Tonight, I am just so thankful for the Word of God and the knowledge of the Authority of the Believer. I am so thankful for having grown up in a Rhema graduate's home and basically attending Rhema my whole life. So thankful that rather than fun, silly music about the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" my parents raised us on David Ingles, Rhema Singers and Band, Shekinah Glory, SuperKids, and other faith-filled music because we needed it last night!

Last night right around midnight I went into my sister's room to check on her because she hadn't been feeling well. When I went in and saw her, it was obvious something was not right. She was burning up with fever, but she was shivering like someone with hypothermia and saying she was freezing, yet her head and body were on fire. Her hands, feet, and lower legs were white as snow and had no warmth, they literally felt like ice. If I touched her, she said it hurt and she said her stomach felt terrible, her head felt like it was going to explode, and she just hurt and ached all over. I am not going to lie, at that moment fear began to take hold of my mind, but something on the inside stirred and I knew what she needed. I laid my hands on her and spoke the Word over her body. I went into my room still not at peace with the circumstances and knew I needed to call my parents to let them know what was going on.

Who I See in You

I accidentally stumbled across this on a random blog on the internet and it just blessed me and spoke to me and my current state! I just love how God uses these "accidents" to speak to us! I think this is so beautiful and inspiring! So, I thought I would share it with all my young single girls! Please pass this along! :)

God has designed you to be a Queen, not a pauper! So wait for your King, don't settle for anything less! God has destined you to be so much more than you give yourself credit for! Be shaped and molded by HIS image of you! 

Who I See in You

(I have no idea who this is by, if anyone knows please let me know!)

She is elegant and graceful and her beauty is like the rarest of pearls. Her beauty is rare only because the deepest part of it lies in the depth of her character. It is rare because it is not flaunted for the attraction of men, for that beauty is shallow and self serving, and for that reason it is not beauty at all. Her beauty is so awesome that she doesn’t even have to be physcially endowed to be wonderfully attractive. She does not try to seduce or beguile because true beauty needs no help in honest attraction.

"Oh, I Tried That Faith Stuff and it Didn't Work!"

I have noticed that too many Christians have things wrong about a successful life of faith. I can't tell you how many times I've heard complaints about living by faith being too hard or "i tried it and it didnt' work" ... and the list goes on! They believe that in order for them to succeed at living by FAITH they have to rely on THEIR ability & THEIR faith, and that is why they fail.  A life of faith is not a result of your perfection and abilities. Living by Faith is not living by muttering. People have misconstrewed living by faith to mean constantly muttering their faith confessions and if I cross this T and dot this I, then maybe, just maybe I will get the breakthrough I am believing God for. These people have spent too much time turning faith into a mathematical theorem of confusion rather than an actual answer producing equation. How does this happen? It is because they don't carefully consider what they hear (Mark 4:24).
