Dear Prayer Diary...

[Spirit]

[Spirit]

last night i told my husband that i felt as if God had something i needed to search for, that there was something i needed to be doing, and his reply was "baby, be patient." this morning, i woke up telling him how we should handle our finances, giving suggestions, and again, his reply was..."baby, be patient." I get to the office and pull up my email, and i have a daily word email i read everyday, and this is what it said...

The Lord showed me that many are feeling out of pocket, out of bounds, or out of the comfort zone. And He said, "You are in a new and unfamiliar spiritual environment, and you have no clarity about it at this time. However, you need to stay mid-stream, that is in the middle of the flow of My Spirit. Refrain from any kind of presumption. Even though you are antsy, don't force anything. Be still and be silent until I speak or move you ahead. You have not been this way before, and it will be very unsettling." Then, I had a vision of a page in a pop-up book that was folded down, and when it unfolded it was a picture of a landscape. And, the Lord said, "This new spiritual landscape will unfold shortly and at the proper time. Then, revelation will come with precision and clarity. Be patient."

James 1:4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Thank you Father!!!! The Spirit is here to direct us. This was a Word sent from God, to me, via email!!!!!

When we are going through things or seeking answers, wisdom, knowledge, some times we have to just be still and wait. and watch how God works things out.

Father, give us the ability to be patient and wait on you. In Jesus name I pray.

Amen

Ja,
this is a community of "love". you do not have to pack up your bags and leave. you, and your opinion, are welcomed to stay. just don't close your eyes (smile)...

i understand what you are saying. my husband and i are working through the issue of God sending a message through the woman. this is not a subject i argue or fight about, because my being silent is allowing the Spirit to work not only on my husband, but on me. i am also a very emotional person and have always made emotional decisions. one thing i am thankful for when it comes to my husband, he is the total opposite. and that allows me to slow down and see the entire picture and not just the starting credits. with this being an issue for us, the confirmation with this issue was when i received the email. i am learning more and more to trust my husband (we have been married for 6 months). but it is through my ability to "be quiet" that the Spirit is able to work. this is all a part of our maturing spiritually.

with that being said...i don't know how my husband intented for the "Baby be patient" to come across, but the Spirit said to me..."Baby be patient."

I look forward to seeing you in the neighborhood : )

"I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." ~Ephesians 4:1-3

A constance reminder for me. As I face a day that has started with a Spiritual battle, I am led to this scripture. Darts being shot at me from all sides. But I hold my tongue and look to God for strength, protection and guidance. What do I do as I wait on the Lord??? Walk worth of the calling with which I am called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is nothing else for me to do...other than to pray. Trials come. But they go. God is with us and has prepared a way out. So I wait, I hurt, I am offended, I am afraid. But I wait. I wait on the Lord. My Father. I know this too shall pass. Lord, please just give me stregnth today.

In Jesus name I pray.

Amen

As God has already taken care of the firey darts (thank you Father) there is still work for me to do to... "endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."

but i know, if i do what scriptures says for me to do, God will do what His Word says He will do.

and yes, my prayers are with you.

"Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not knw what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be utterd." ~Romans 8:26

As I sit here, with a heavy burden to pray for someone, I realized I really did not know what to pray. I could pray for what I think is wrong, but there could be a totally different issue going on. And I don't want to pray for MY will to be done, I want to pray for God's Will to be done. And as I searched the scripture, this is what I came to. And what was revealed to me was, just pray that God gives this person the strength, wisdom and knowledge they need. To help them with what they are struggling with. Because the Spirit will re-word it the way it is suppose to be. Because the Spirit knows what we do not. Sometimes we think we need to know all the details in order to say a prayer for someone. But the truth is, we don't know what their true issue is. And I am thankful that God gave us the Holy Spirit to speak when we don't know what to say.

keeping him covered in prayer...
