“Faith moves mountains but the presence of God melts them”
My letter to the Father…….
Hey Daddy…… I am writing to have a heart to heart. It’s funny because you have a way of getting my full attention. The reality is that as long as I keep trying to do it my way I will keep hitting the brick wall.
The Father’s response…. “Yes I told you ….. – Trust in me with all your heart and lean not on your on understanding"- Ps. 3:5.
Well that is why I writing. I can not go on until I hear from you.
It’s funny because I remember you telling me that you will not put more on me than I can bear. Well you must trust me A LOT!
The Father’s response….. “Too much is given must is required. Do not become nearsighted and blind by looking at your current situation."
How have I become near sighted and blind?
The Father’s response…… “Read 2 Peter 1”
So are you telling me that I must make a effort to add to my FAITH goodness, and to GOODNESS, knowledge, and to KNOWLEDGE, self-control; and SELF-CONTROL, perseverance; and to PERSEVERANCE, godliness; and to GODLINESS, mutual affection; and to MUTUAL AFFECTION, LOVE!
Okay I get it. If I do not do the above, I will be nearsighted and blind. Worst yet I am rejecting your grace and forgetting that you have already cleansed me of my past sins.
The Father response….. “It is the sins in your life that I have already forgiven you for but you keep revisiting them. I am trying to melt the mountains in your life and you keep just telling to them to move. You can tell the mountain to move and they just move back or to the side and you still see them. It is in my presence that I will destroy the mountains in your life.”
God I need your presence to melt the mountain called fear, this mountain called rejection, this mountain called disappointment, this mountain called hurt.
Daddy I have to grab hold of your Goodness. I have to grab hold to the Knowledge of your word. I have to activate self-control and not allow my emotions to get the best of me. I have to persevere under this PRESSURE! DADDY, HELP ME! I have to have Godly character and mutual affection. I must embrace your love and walk in it. I need these mountains to MELT!
The Father’s response…. “You have to get in my presence.”
I have to stay in your presence in order for the mountain to melt? Daddy I need your presence to be so thick in my life that it melts all the mountains of despair, hurt, fear, and internal oppression. I want every mountain to begin to dissipate and eventually be completely overwhelmed.
As the mountains are overwhelmed by your presence I will have that joy I am longing for.
The Father's response.... Psalms 16:11 states that in my presence is fullness of joy. That joy is your strength to press, push and pursue.
So daddy it’s me again standing in need. I can not look at anyone else. I need you father and this my letter you.

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21
Stepping into the unknown can sometimes be overwhelming. But the word can not lie. No matter where you find yourself right now the Lord is with you. The word of God tells us that the steps of the righteous are order by God. Life is full of dark tunnels. At times we look inside the tunnel and say I will not enter that one because of fear. That is when you step back and begin to ask God to order your steps. You have to place your trust in God. It is the Holy Spirit that whispers to you “This is the way; walk in it.”
I keep reminding myself that there is a PROCESS for everything. When ever God makes a promise he will always process you before he is able to give you the PAYOFF!
Sometimes your process may be just like entering a dark tunnel. You know that there is a beginning but you don’t always know where the end is. Will you enter the tunnel to DESTINY and trust God to show you the way?
For those like me that feel like you are in a dark tunnel and all you can do is trust GOD…. This is my prayer…….
Lord I will enter the tunnel and place all my trust in you. I do not know what the end will be but I know that your word says ALL things work together for the good of those that love you. Lord I love you. I receive your mercy on today and I praise you for your grace. Lord when I find myself wanting to give up, I will wait patiently on you. Lord please turn to me and hear my cry! GOD you are my savior. You have already proven yourself to me. You have already done so much for me. You looked beyond my sins and still loved me just the same. You are God ALONE. You have lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire. It was you Lord that set my feet on a rock. Thank you for the new song in my mouth. I place my trust in you Lord. NONE can compare to you Lord. Lord let your word be a light unto my path. I embrace to PROCESS and I will hold on to see what the END WILL BE!

Take God Out Of The Box!
Have you ever heard someone tell you to take God out of the box? This is something that I haved heard people say often. Well, have you just took it as just another "church saying"?
It sounds good to repeat but then we turn around and place God in our little boxes. It came to me today while listening to Ayiesha Woods CD that we really have to make a decision everyday not to box God in. Every time you worry- a box- every time you complain... a box.. every time you borrow money... a box.. every time you look at the situation more than God... a box.. every time you walk by someone that does not know JESUS... a box.. every time you "feel" bad and decide I rather stay at home and not trust God... a box! We place God in these little boxes and really think that we are honoring him with our weak prayers. Boxed in prayers that don't change the way we view God because we are praying from a box instead of the word. It is the word of God applied, believed, received, and WALKED OUT that removes God from the box. The box is the way you view God. The box is our mindset. The box is the position that our heart really is in.
I challenge you today to TAKE GOD OUT THE BOX! FREE YOUR MIND and TRUST FOR REAL!
