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 18:33-50   33  He  maketh  my  feet  like  hinds'  feet, and  setteth  me upon my high  places. 34  He  teacheth  my  hands  to  war,  so that a  bow  of  steel  is  broken  by mine  arms. 35  Thou hast also  given  me the  shield  of thy  salvation:  and thy right  hand  hath holden me  up , and thy  gentleness  hath made me  great . 36  Thou hast  enlarged  my  steps  under me, that my  feet  did not  slip . 37  I have  pursued  mine  enemies , and  overtaken  them: neither did I turn  again  till they were  consumed . 38  I have  wounded  them that they were not  able  to  rise : they are  fallen  under my  feet. 39  For thou hast  girded  me with...

A Promise of Restoration

A Promise of Restoration 36 “Now I want to say something more about this city. You have been saying, ‘It will fall to the king of Babylon through war, famine, and disease.’ But this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 37 I will certainly bring my people back again from all the countries where I will scatter them in my fury. I will bring them back to this very city and let them live in peace and safety. 38 They will be my people, and I will be their God. 39 And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants. 40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me. 41 I will find joy doing good for them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land. 42 “This is what the Lord says: Just as I have brought all these calamities on them, so I will do all the good I have pr...
