It has been a while since I last posted a blog and it has been evident that what God has placed in me to do is being attacked but I WILL COMPLETE everything placed inside!
As you see the title of this blog 'Rebuilding', you may be thinking that it's such a vague title but there is so much within that one word that has been revealed to me lately. My family and I were headed to my childhood church a few Sunday's ago and I was just looking around at all the things that had changed since I was younger and the word, 'Rebuilding' came to mind. The Holy Spirit just began to pour into me about different situations in my life that God used to rebuild me. One of the things I noticed was after something is torn down usually what's left is the foundation and there you can see what held the structure together. Things are torn down for various reasons that includes foundation shifting, abanded, infestation of some kind, or simply because it's no longer needed. Another reason for something to be torn down is to make way for something newer, more efficient, or up to date.
While being married my husband and I have lost our son, twin girls, miscarriage, apartment fire, unemployment, and more things but I have realized that through all of that God allowed me to learn and grow in my faith. When things happen in your life that seem to just tear you apart and break you down to the lowest of lowest, God will use those things that were meant to DESTROY you and will rebuild you using that very thing. That faith you lost during what happened will be rebuilt and the structure (you) will be stronger once the rebuilding is complete, now the different levels and rooms within the structure is a whole other blog. : )
Have you noticed that when things get to their lowest you really see where your faith is and your heart begins to show. It's in those low points that I see where my heart is and grow from it, the Lord reveals those things to me and he begins to rebuild my faith, my confidence and my life which I seem to think at that time is a disappointment.
I want to challenge you, when you're in your low valleys to not complain, don't get depressed, don't let satan make you think that God has left you but KEEP TRUSTING in God because if you truly believe His word then you know that, He works it all for the God of those who LOVE HIM....
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Earlier this month I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and I felt so defeated about it. I just couldn't believe that at my age I was dealing with my blood pressure. But I couldn't stay in the valley and groan and be depressed about it, I asked the Holy Spirit, who is my comforter and my teacher, to help me with dealing with this issue.
Have you ever been to a point in your life where you just wanted to know why? Why this, why that? Why me? Ahhhhh.....just made me want to scream because I felt as though I couldn't catch a break, something always seemed to happen to dampen the day. And do you know what the Lord spoke to me? TeAndra you are victorious! I have plans for you, not to harm you but to prosper you! I am rebuilding you so that you can work in the capacity that you were created to work for. It's time to take care of yourself and begin to walk, in confidence, in the authority that I have given you. I'm your foundation, I built your foundation so let me continue to break down some things in you that aren't beneficial for you, things that can create havoc later on and things that can crack your foundation. Let me be your builder and rebuild you and you'll notice that when it's done you will be a structure that can withstand anything, the winds, the storms, the fires and disappointments and a structure that can hold anything.
I can say that I trust God in everything. Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life and he loves me, he loves you, God will take care of his children. My husband has this saying, buzzer beater faith, which simply means in the last minute when things seem like they couldn't get any worse, it seems like God steps in and completely turns the situation around to where it's impossible for anyone to take credit but to give FULL credit to God for bringing you out.
