No one is a spiritual giant. The closer we come to Jesus, the more deep our relationship, the more our need is evident, our need Never becomes less. Rest in The Truth of Who God is today and boast in the “I can’t, but I know The One Who can”.

In our sharing we remember that God is Faithful and that we aren’t alone.

Ever since My Jesus revealed His Love to me and raised me from the dead I’ve been on fire for the Lord, He brought me to Himself hard and fast 15 years ago (right smack in the middle of my already beautiful 10 year marriage with Gary). He revealed to me right away His amazing Love and Whose I was and I’ve never struggled with those Truths In Christ. The harder part and In order that I would surrender all, He used my marriage, essentially my husband and the circumstances surrounding him to lay down everything including my life and fix my heart and mind on Jesus the author and perfecter of my faith. Unaware of the total cost, God showed me my radical depravity apart from Christ. As much as the gamut was so very wide between God and me, Grace became that much more amazing! Then one day September 2021 I was sitting in my chair where I would spend 2-3 hours with the Lord in response to His Love everyday; the fiery trial this day for reasons I didn’t understand became like death, agonizing and overwhelming. I sat in my chair, struggled in my tears begging God to keep my mouth shut towards God because I was ashamed at what I wanted to say to Him and I knew it was outrageously humiliating to the one my soul loved. But instead of letting me struggle any longer God whispered to my spirit – say it, say it out loud I can handle it. But I blubbered I don’t want to hurt you Lord. I didn’t want to take my life that wasn’t it, to me what I wanted was far worse. In the valley of tears I cried, I don’t want to be your daughter any more I don’t want to be your ambassador, I can’t. please send me back to the bondage of sin from which I came. I knew I was hurting God’s heart with my overwhelming grief, but He in fact was grateful for my casting onto Him. His response to me was supernaturally kind and full of Perfect Love. “Sweet daughter Rachel I know you don’t want to be Mine, but you don’t have a choice.”
Bringing to my heart and mind John 15:16
‭You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

In that moment I cried rivers of more tears and remembered that when God establishes His rule and reign in a person, no one can escape His Love (no matter what it looks like on the outside ) I must simply agree, accept it and believe with all my might no matter the lies that will for sure try to destroy you. Lies like “you will never please God” (the truth is, He is already pleased). Or You will never stop sinning (the truth is where sin abounds Grace abounds much more),

So these amazing works of God that are happening here from such a sweet video aren’t worthy of boasting in today, only God is worthy! So we praise The Lord.

The path that it takes for a person to surrender all is never pretty, it is painful and seemingly ugly and weird to the person walking in it but altogether Powerfully Glorious before, during, and after all because of Jesus!

We need your prayers as God’s path of Loving Him with all our heart mind soul and strength continues . God is clear what the work of God is
‭John 6:29
Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”
It’s not easy, but it’s simple. I don’t know how any of this has happened or why I’m able to stand up here, I’m just a recipient of God’s Love.

Joyfully His,
