Daily and Weekly Christian Inspiration
Be watching tomorrow for my latest video on Rhema-RCTV from London 5pm GMT or on my website Margaretmearnsbass.com after noon.EST when I will be discussing our struggles to daily find time to spend alone with our heavenly Papa. “Are you too busy?” https://youtu.be/jKuFt99yOA0
I would love to hear from you with questions or comments.
Dear Child,
Do not be deceived for I and My Word are not mocked, whatever you sow, you will reap in due season, whether it be good fruit or evil fruit.
Do not wait until harvest time, the choice is made at sowing time. You know the principle well from your own garden, sow what you want to reap. Weeds from this fallen world may grow and try to choke the harvest, be consistent in tending your crop, take care of it, sow only in good soil where I am working. Do not let weeds of discouragement choke and zap the life from the crop. When you see a weed appear, pull it up from the root, don’t just pull the head off, you must get to the root, that the crop will not be hindered but flourish!
Of all the weeds in the garden of your life, discouragement is the most destructive. Pull it up, and sprinkle your garden with a doze of faith. Weeds of discouragement belong to the family of doubt and cannot survive in a garden of faith.
Weeds of discouragement bear the fruit of low self- esteem, procrastination, depression, lack of focus, apathy, doubt and will eventually extinguish your passion, suffocate your faith, thereby strangle that precious crop.
Attend not only to your physical flower garden but also the spiritual garden of your life, for the devil is like a roaring lion going about seeking whom he may devour.
Thus saith Papa
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Hebrews 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Challenge: Are you feeding and pampering those weeds of discouragement or are you putting the ax to their root by encouraging yourself in the Lord?
Dear Child,
Creation has no choice but to fulfill its purpose and be what it was created for.
Man was given a choice, a free will and a creative mind to fulfill My purpose or create his own.
All I ask of you is that you be what you were created to be.
You can try to do that which you weren’t created to do.
But you can never be what you weren’t created to be, no matter how you struggle!
Thus saith Papa
Isa 64:8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Everything has a purpose
In order to know the purpose of a thing you do not ask the thing
You ask the creator of the thing
Only the creator knows the purpose of the thing he created
When the purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable!
Challenge: If you do not know the purpose of your being, ask the Potter?
Choose to fulfill His purpose by being who He created you to be.
I always use this fountain pen, which was a gift from my husband, John, when I journal my devotional time. One day as I was writing in my journal during my quiet time with God, the Lord used this as a window to my soul. I pray this word will also inspire you to be refilled daily with the Holy Spirit that your life will have an impact on the lives of others.
Dear Child,
As you hold your pen lovingly, as a gift from John, even so I lovingly hold you in My hand. The pen is the instrument but the hand does the writing. Even so you are an instrument in My hand, but I am the one who inspires, anoints and opens doors.
Rest in My hand, even as your pen rests in your hand.
Flow with Me even as your pen flows with your hand.
Continue to be refilled with the Holy Spirit even as your pen needs to be refilled with ink.
There would be no imprint if your pen had no ink, even so your writing would have no imprint on hearts without the refilling of My Spirit.
Thus saith Papa
2 Corinthians 3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
