The Lord keeps giving me the word FORTITUDE.
Merriam-Webster states the definition of
fortitude as... 1: strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage
WOW! Let me give a quick backstory to why I believe He gave me the word FORTITUDE. Many years back Father started revealing the truths to me regarding human trafficking. Up to that point I really didn’t understand the magnitude. Even today, it literally makes me sick to my stomach and I can’t help but cry. Back then I felt the pull of the Holy Spirit to be more involved and I was for awhile... even assisting with an A-21 walk and facilitating supplies to a local organization who are the hands and feet in our own community.
As time went on and the magnitude of the horrific truths of what’s going on all over the world and even in our own community... I felt so overwhelmed and honestly even though I still pray to this day, I removed myself mentally to the fight, because it rips My heart out of the injustices, I unfortunately gave the excuse to myself 'what can i even do to make a difference?'
Don’t I pray for a heart of Christ, I asked myself?? A most definite YES! It is my heart’s cry!
So, over the last several months I’ve felt Holy Spirit’s sweet nudges to come back to His heart regarding this heart wrenching subject. Sweet friends, all He needs is our ”yes” and our obedience. My FEAR will no longer dictate my action and I choose to have HIS FORTITUDE!
Romans 12:2b came to my heart during this processing with the Lord.
“but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”
Romans 12:2b TPT
These are our Esther moments! We ALL are created for ”such a time as this”! To be courageous and stand up to the giants of the day and remind them they will not have the last say... GOD WILL!
So whatever the Lord has placed on your heart to create or to fight for... With HIM all things are possible! He has gifted you and has given us the ability to partner with Him to fight the good battle And to LOVE and be His voice in the darkness!
The whole reason Father had me create this website is to be a safe place, a hiding place, a place to be filled up, and a place to be sent back out!!
He desires this to be a place to grow-rest--and launch back out to what He’s created you to accomplish... not on your own ability, but all through Him and for Him!
May it be so since He said so!
