A Confession to Assist with Resting

James 5:16 ESV

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

*The trials and tribulations that we face, be it daily or sparingly, can often take a toll on us. This is especially if we are learning to enter into His rest, and concentrate our efforts on magnifying God vs focusing on efforts to eliminate the problem. The toll that is taken can effect our ability to be optimistic about a person or situation. It can even cause us to focus more on doubt and our previous experiences with this person or issue, rather then seek God for new possibilities through prayer. This is why we should pray for one another: The power of prayer from more then one individual helps strengthen the situation. Remember, the Bible tells us where two or there are gathered in His name, He is in the most (Matt. 18:20). Also, one person can put 1,000 angels in flight, but two put 10,000 angels on the same path (Deuteronomy 32:30). Therefore, there is strength in numbers. I personal welcome and need to be strengthened in order to be able to rest in God, and mount up with wings like eagles (Isaiah 40:28-31). First, I must enter into His rest as I am restless, but embracing the responsibility to help us all get and stay there. I challenge you today to pray for someone else who you know needs rest. Perhaps, even contact them and give them a time you are praying so that they may join you. You never know who you may save, our how you may help to impact God's plan.

God, The Perfect Definition of a Father

The father of my child is not some dead beat dad that doesn't take care of responsibilities, forgets about the needs of his child, and accrues amnesia when it comes to claiming my baby's birth right to take on his last name...He is my rock, my provider, my protector, and confidant. The birth of my purpose is safe in His arms, and the nature of the birth is catered to His unfailing plan...#PurposefullyMade #SuccessfulPregnancy #BirthofRoyalty #ChildOfTheKing #InspirationalMomentsWithSultaia Dawsey

Get Off the Emotional Roller Coaster

Psalm 30:5 (NIV)
5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

*Emotions were designed by God with the idea of helping you further experience life. There are several emotions that we may experience in our lifetime, and know that these emotional experiences are fine as long as we remain in control over them. We should never let our emotions get the best of us, and outweigh what God tells us vs what we believe we should do based on feelings. However, it is very important to embrace your authentic feelings, because habitual feelings that are formed are feelings that can lead to entrapment within a cycle...Thus, not allowing you to fully express how you feel to God in order to receive help. While reading "The 40 Day Soul Fast" book today, I realized that I have a right to weep and be upset...I have a right to be disgusted with experiencing things that are not part of the promises of God, but I also remain under control during my night of weeping because I am still intently waiting to be led by Him, and not using my emotional state to react based upon my own understanding. I also hold fast to God, even though I slip in and out of a strong grip, because I know the victory is won and I see small elements of sustainability that tell me not to give up. This is the true nature of control...to hold on to what you believe in vs what you have seen and come to know. To stop the flesh's desire to react indicates the Godly power within, and the smallest segment of faith that still exists in our fight towards freedom to sense what God wants us to feel. I battle chucking up the deuces daily and the desire to run into the night of weeping bc my love for God holds steadfast to joy coming in the morning. Are you letting your emotions win the battle, or have you gained control in the war on feelings and failure?

Communication is the Key Between You and Me

One of the best measurements of growth is developing the ability to communicate with people of all walks of life, and not expecting constant change that perfectly caters to the way you have seen and heard things. It is our responsibility to teach others how to understand us, and learn to understand and impact the ways of others...#Flexibility,Meekness,Love, and Long suffering IsTheKeyInMinistry

Matthew 5:5 ESV

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

James 1:19 ESV

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger...
