Overcomer

Here I am

Sitting at a desk located in the upper rooms of an old Victorian Church in Crewe, England.

Behind my blue and uncomfortable old office chair is the most amazingly colourful stained glass window ever. It's a depiction of the scripture "Suffer the little children to come unto me", captured in superb dark greens, reds, yellows, golds and frosted clear glass. I am so blessed to be right here right now. The window was crafted back in 1910 and dedicated to some former vicar of this church at the turn of the twentieth century and projects the most vivid and colourful light shows daily onto my computer screens.

Today I am feeling optimistic.

I have no idea why.

I just do.

I haven't had that feeling you can sometimes get, that feeling that gives you a hunch something amazing is about to happen.

But

today?

I feel like light is shining on me, stoking the fire of my creative and visionary side.

My scripture this morning was simple.

"Build up, Build up! Prepare the road, remove the obstacles out of the way of my people!" (Isaiah 57:14)

Hey

I've been ready for sometime to hoist the sails on my ministry and let the breezes of the Spirit catch a hold of them and take me to where God would have me be for a time such as this, the here, the now.

But

There are obstacles.

I need finance for the vision God has laid on me and I have none! I am ready to write and know I need the time and space to allow the Spirit of God to take a hold of my heart, head, and my right hand to scribe the words that I know are bursting to flow outwards to those who need to hear them. I also am starting to fill up on speaking engagements which I have taken a back step from for the last year or so.

yet

There are things in the way.

Finance

Time

Space

Hey

But this scripture hit me like a thunderclap.

Build up, build up, prepare the road, remove the obstacles out of the way of my people!"

Yeah

Words direct from the heart of God.

I am challenged to day that I need to start building my ministry back up again.

And?

That God can remove the obstacles that get in the way of our forward path in life.

He sees the bigger picture

He can see right through the obstacle strewn pathways that so often make our lives not as effective as they could be.

So

Hey

let God take control.

Trust him with the bigger picture.

Whatever is stopping us from moving forwards? Start building for the future anyway and He will carve out your pathway, Shine light on it even.

Be encouraged today.
