Prophetess,
Thank you for your obedience. I knew God would meet me yesterday at the conference. And guess what–He thinks I’m amazing!
When I hear the word amazing and think on the Lord, I think about him and how great he is, his wonder and his power.
Yet yesterday as my sisters sang Amazing, I heard “I’m amazing”…at first I thought, of course you are Lord… Then I realized He was speaking through me to me. I finally received…it was the Lord telling me He thinks I’m amazing…and the joy of the Lord came upon me because I understood the greater depth and breadth of the love God has for me… I understood the revelation of HANDPICKED…
When you go through fire after fire… challenge after challenge…attack after attack…it wears you down, you get tired. As as a believer you speak over yourself and you try to maintain your faith and build your self esteem.
Yet the process weighs you down, you do get weary, weak, sick and tired. The negativity affects you. You become broken. And you question your worth. And you feel like you have to prove something–everything–to yourself, family, and the world. At least that’s how I felt…So 2 administration degrees and 2 insurance licenses later, I still felt unaccomplished.
Yet yesterday brought back to my remembrance how as a child I heard His voice. And how the word says he knew me before I was formed. How he has delivered me all these years…That He has always been there… But WHY???
Because He thinks I’m amazing. And I am because of all he has placed in me…I am because of Him… I’m HANDPICKED and GOD APPROVED.
So I don’t have prove anything to anyone else including myself because God has approved me…he loves me….he thinks I’m amazing! And that, that is more than enough, that is sufficient.
My brick is discipline which is a way of behaving that shows a willingness to obey the rules. Basically it is about order and obedience.
As you reconfirmed my gift is administration, which is about implementing and maintaining order in the governance of the body and kingdom.
So I am ordained to bring order which is why I’m oftentimes surrounded by chaos… through God’s testing and attack of the enemy. And discipline, being ordered and obeying God’s Word is how I and others are to overcome.
So now I know who I am in his sight and my purpose and how to achieve it. I understand why those degrees and every career choice and the experience made and gained. I understand He is intentional and strategic. I understand my brick and how it applies to my life and this journey.
I am no longer bound to seeking approval. Or fearful of rejection. No longer afraid of not being good enough… Because I am God Approved. Because he loves me, always has and always will. Because to Him, I’m amazing.
So I can go forth, boldly, in discipline, teaching and showing others how to operate in order and obedience and handle the affairs of our Father’s house and kingdom.
I am, now and forevermore, FEARLESS!
Love you with ALL my heart,
Sam
