Jesus answers over a spot of tea

So in my previous post I was telling you about my tea date with Jesus and how I had a real honest conversation with Him on suffering, going through trials and tribulations and how it’s painful...

I also kept you guessing in not telling you the whole answer straight away so in this post, I get to share the rest of the wonderful answer with you. This answer showed to me though the Holy Spirit now helps me to have courage. If you are like me and you are more of a visual person, then maybe this will help you as well. 


So while I had this conversation with Jesus, He also answered me through His Spirit by showing me the following over a spot of tea:

I saw a sword. The sword was mighty, shiny, strong and was able to win battles but the sword has to stay sharp and therefore it was being honed – You are the sword.

Whaaaaaaat? I didn’t quite know what to make of it and felt a little confused and so I asked the Holy Spirit to please give me a revelation on what I saw, and then I started to smile…

The sword is already molded or rather forged. It already went through the fire and forging process. It already got hammered into shape. It doesn’t need to be reshaped BUT its needs to stay sharp and therefore the sword gets honed through the Word.
You go through many battles and you will win because victory is already yours (But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ - 1 Cor 15:57), but you need to make sure you keep the sword and keep your mind sharp for the battle by spending time in the word and in the spirit (which is also a weapon – The sword of the spirit which is the word of God). If you don’t, the sword will become blunt and every battle might become harder and harder but if you spend time in the word, sharpening your mind and focusing on God, you will be able to fight with the word, courageously taking what is already yours through Christ Jesus – VICTORY!

How WONDERFUL is this. I now keep on reminding myself that I am a sword that can be wielded in battle but I need to stay sharp on the Word of God. As I mentioned, I am a visual person so I went and searched for an image of a sword and added my name to it along with the words - Mighty Woman of Valour to serve as a reminder that I am already victorious. You can do the same and add whatever is fitting for you to keep you motivated in the midst of suffering... it can be anything e.g. The Warrior, Conqueror, Victorious etc.
See a few examples (add your name to the blank area):





After this lovely tea date, I decided that it will be something I do more and more. Like I’m meeting up with a friend and since Jesus is my friend, I would love to have more tea dates with Him.


Thanks for reading. If you would like, I encourage you to also have some tea with Jesus. Be sure to give Him time to respond and become still as you listen. What is He sharing with you over a cup of tea?

Be blessed,
T. xxx

Prayer Walk through your Home

Image
This morning I got up and started praying in our bedroom, (I usually start praying here the moment I wake up as I like to start my day with Jesus) and as I was praying I remembered something I saw on Pinterest - a Prayer walk through your Home. When I saw this post a few days back, I scanned through the content and then I just kinda forgot about it again... until this morning. I became quiet and thought about what I can specifically pray for in our bedroom. I asked the Holy Spirit to come over me and give me the words so I can pray in and through the Spirit. I prayed for many things as I did the Prayer Walk through our home and I would like to share some of those things with you... So, as I mentioned, I started in the... Bedroom Here I prayed for: Peaceful Nights Rest for our bodies and minds To be protected as we unwind Dreams where our Lord speaks to us Spiritual Growth Blessing in our marriage As my husband and I showcase our love towards eachother, that we wil...

We serve a God of Healing and Miracles

Image
I haven't posted since May 2014 but I felt that I needed to share this. It has been a tough week for me and my family. But we are all keeping our heads high because we serve an awesome God. Here is the story: On 19 November 2015, my Grandfather had a heart attack in the early morning hours. He was taken to the hospital where they treated him and later transferred him to the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria where they performed an angiogram to determine what is going on with my grandfather’s heart. The result was this: The double coronary artery bypass graft the Doctors performed in February 2015, have disappeared. The doctors cannot explain this at all because “there is no way it can just disappear, also, one of his other arteries started flowing again...” HALLELUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD for the miracle of healing! I firmly believe it is the hand of God because He has a different plan. I visited him that same evening and prayed for healing in his body and for t...

"Patient Fruit" - Take a bite

Image
“Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.” ― Fulton J. Sheen Patience - it is a gift that allows you to accept or tolerate problems without becoming irritated or angry. Patience is also a fruit... Mmmm fruit is not usually the first thing to come to mind when we think of patience but I like the idea of thinking patience as a fruit. The fruit can either be bitter or so very sweet depending on how much you have - the more "patient fruit" the better. Have you ever felt that growling pain on your tummy when you are hungry? Some people get very irritated or whiny when they are hungry but if you have something to eat for example - fruit - the chances of becoming irritated are decreased. Psalm 37:7-9 (NIV) 7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they ca...
