T.O.D.A.Y.'S ENCOURAGEMENT for June 09, 2008
T.O.D.A.Y.
Ministries
14745 Merrilltown #1611 Austin TX 78728 Good Morning!
Well,
guys and gals, I'm back! Thank you for your patience with me, and also
for the emails of encouragement as I start this new journey with The Lord!
In my last Encouragement, that I sent out two weeks ago, I told you that I was
expecting to have a testimony about the "Faithfulness" of God.
Well . . . here it is ~~~~~~~~
About
twenty-five years ago, The Lord began to give me "songs" to write.
He gave me the words and the music strictly by The Holy Spirit. All
through the years that He was giving these to me, I knew that He intended for
them to be used to bless the lives of others! Not only to
"encourage" Christians in the body of Christ, but to
"evangelize" those that were lost! For a long time, I tried to
get these songs recorded, and many friends and family members have also tried
for me. The Lord kept "shutting" the doors that we tried to
open . . . I am so thankful that He did!!!!! Yes, He allowed me to use
the "words" to some of them in my daily Encouragements, but I knew
that He had a plan that would let people hear the "music"
behind the words. So, I finally reached a place of making a
decision to just "wait upon The Lord" to open the right door.
Guess what? He did!!! No man opened this "door" . .
. God opened it! And when HE opens a door for us...no man can SHUT
it!!!!
Sometime in
the future (in God's timing), I will have some of my songs recorded on
CD's that I can make available to those of you that would like to have them!
I will not be singing them (I never wanted to be the one singing them), but
the man that God has hand picked to sing them has a voice that sounds like it
is straight from Heaven! So anointed! He sang at my husband's
"going home" services, and He is also my new "Pastor"!
More about all of this later. The reason that I am sharing all of this
with you all, is because I want to encourage those of you who have
dreams and visions that God has given you and it seems like they are not
coming to pass. Please hear me! Do not give up! Stay focused
on your dreams and visions! I am talking about the ones that GOD
has given you . . . not the ones that you, yourself, dreamed up or something
that you wish would happen!
If
you know for sure that The Lord gave you that "vision or
desire", then give it back to Him and leave it in His hands!
Do what ever HE tells you to do in the natural . . . then wait for
Him to "bring it to pass"!! Whatever God "promises"
. . . that shall HE also DO! Don't get discouraged while you are
"waiting" . . . just keep confessing that His way is
perfect and that He is "putting everything together, seeing to every
detail, arranging every circumstance and ordering every step to bring to pass
what He has for you"!! You can find that "print-out" in
my Encouragement for Feb.11, 2008
Thank
you for letting me share with you what I have waited twenty-five years for.
You may not have to wait that long if you will quit trying to "make
something happen" and just leave it in God's hands and wait upon Him!
I covet your "prayers" for us at this exciting time . . . It will
require a lot of financial support, but I know that The Lord will provide what
we need. However, we all know that "prayer and faith" is
what moves the hand of The Lord! So, thank you for praying!
Have
a Blessed Day!! (It is a time of "new beginnings"
for all of us!) In His Love, Luanne
