Jewel Of Inspiration: Time For A Change!



Is there something stirring in you?
Do you sense a change coming on?
Change is not a bad thing so do not resist it - in fact pray for it!

Lately, I have been feeling that change was coming. I have felt it before many times and recognize it in my spirit. I am learning not to ignore it but to seek God and pray.


As I sense this current change coming on I have been specifically praying for God to change me, guide me, strengthen me, and inspire me so I can inspire others with what I learn!  I am also praying this over each one of my family members! 

I pray that we are alert and aware to respond with willingness and obedience to those things He wants to strengthen, move, remove or include in our lives.

Here are some of the things I am praying:

Change My Interests
Change My Discussions
Change My Visions
Change My Imaginations
Change My Thoughts
Change My Dreams
Change My Preferences
Change My Cravings
Change My Desires

CHANGE ME - INSPIRE ME, LORD!

So that every area of my mind, heart and actions would reflect and represent You more and Your purpose and plan for my life and my family members lives!  That our own purpose and sometimes floppy & fleshly desires would become less & less and Your power & purpose would become more & more!

I set out a challenge to you to pray this for yourself and for your family.

I dare you to surrender to Him & His desires of service for your life.   WARNING - Be prepared to make some changes as He teaches, guides and prepares you for your future steps.  He wants to use you in your home, your work place, your school, your church, your community, and out in the world.
In order to do that He often moves, adds, removes or takes away people and things in our lives.
It is all for Good and for His Glory!!

How will you know how to accomplish what He is calling you to until you surrender and seek Him and make a choice to trust and allow Him to show you the way you should go...even if it doesn't make sense or look like you thought your life would be like.  Hang in there and get in His Word, the Bible, and watch it unfold!

Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 

Joshua 24:14-15 NIV

He must become greater: I must become less. John 3:30 NIV


Am I not trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. 

Galatians 1:10 NIV

The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does...don't live in dread of what frightens them. Isaiah 8:11 NLT


"Imagine what you could become if you looked to others to inspire them, and not to compare or to see if you are good enough. You loved yourself & realized you were created for a purpose in this world!" ~ Sandi Krakowski


Know this - that it is not whether you will change & serve - it is whom you will decide to change & serve for. Each day - throughout the day we make these decisions - be alert as to what your decisions & motives for change are saying about who you serve and live for!


He is our source - We are His voice!

Jewel Of Inspiration: Wisdom Is Valuable




When God calls you to do something and gives you an assignment - trust Him to give you the wisdom, guidance & provisions to accomplish it. Seek & Grow in Wisdom and never stop learning! This will help you in reducing fear and doubt and not giving it a place to rise up and reside! 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV


I will be the first to admit - I am not confident in my own knowledge. I struggled (ahem - sometimes still struggle) and never excelled in the worlds education arena. Gratefully, I can be a student in God's Word and grow in His wisdom without any rankings or requirements and His curriculum never changes!


I've come to learn I must acknowledge & seek Him and depend on Him daily to teach me, help me remember, lead me and control my desires and days - or else I will certainly fail - and so very often I do.
If I rely on myself & my surroundings - I delay & hesitate to do what He has called me to do.  If I truly rely on Him then I respond much quicker & go without hesitation!  There is so much on this topic I could write and share with you!  It is my desire to live a life without hesitation and take Him at His Word quicker and to help others grow in that as well! 


Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

1 Chronicles 16:11 ESV

"If there is something we do not know, it is because we have not availed ourselves of what is revealed. But the real problem comes in doing what we already know." ~ Derek Prince


Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

Ephesians 5:15-16 ESV

Let us encourage and inspire one another to act on & follow through what we already know and get stronger & wiser in what is ours to discover! I pray that His intelligence would grow in our hearts and minds and be our guide as we trust Him to accomplish His purpose with the dreams, desires and assignments He has given us!


Be Faithful - Be Brave - Be Inspired!
