For a Season

Philemon 1:15

For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

Praise the Lord sisters!

I pray all is well with you! So Sunday night at prayer meeting the Lord led me to the scripture above. And it made my heart leap! I tell you guys all the time how God's Word has been speaking to me like never before. This small book written for our exhortation and rebuke has blessed me indeed! 

It encouraged me to continue believing for the restoration and healing of my marriage. That this separation is only for a season. And this time apart is useful (Ones'-i-mus) that God may work in us as He sees fit. So that when we are restored to one another it will be forever. 

So Paul writes Philemon regarding receiving Ones'-i-mus in his stead. He begins to say that even though in time past, Ones'-i-mus was unprofitable. He would now be very profitable to Philemon and to Paul.  He even advised that Ones'-i-mus would no longer be considered a servant but a beloved brother, in the flesh and in the Lord. I just see how wonderful it will be to have a close intimate bond with our husbands, serving the Lord TOGETHER! No longer running on E but in overflow, profitable to one another and God!

He further urged Philemon to not charge anything that Ones'-i-mus had done or owed to him. But to put it all on Paul's account that he might repay. Even with his own hand. And this next part got me! He said though I don't tell you of the things that you owe me. Isn't that like God! Urging us to forgive the past, that He'll repay accordingly. But even in us wanting vengeance to be repaid. We must remember how merciful JESUS has been to us! This is mmm good!

Remember Sister, mercy rejoices over judgement. For love's sake, let the Lord have His perfect work in YOU and your husband. What God is forming is bigger than missing our mates. It's bigger than living together and buying matching clothes. God is repairing the breaches for generations to come! There's much work for us to do. God is calling us higher in this hour! And nothing or no one can take priority over that. This is more than a marriage of flesh. It's a dynamic spiritual duo that God fashioned for HIS GLORY. To mirror the marriage of His son JESUS and the Church. And it only operates well when we are completely synchronized to Him and His ways. When that's off, everything is off. Because we're not our own. We're brought with a precious price, and made for His special purpose.

(Philemon 1:9-19)

Be encouraged!

Psalms 40 🕊️⚔️

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. 4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 9 I have preached righteousness in the great con...

Set Time of Favor ⚔️

Esther 5:1-14  1 N ow it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house. 2  And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. 3  Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom. 4  And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him. 5  Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared. 6  And the king sai...
