I am Persuaded

It's been awhile since I have blogged.  I was sensing in my spirit the need to be refreshed and renewed by  the Spirit of God.  As I have stated on several occasions, I never want to write out of my flesh.  If it’s not straight from the Spirit of God….I will not share it.

I logged on to watch Bishop Jakes service this past Sunday only to see he was not there.  My husband and I started to turn it off, but decided not to.  The visiting speaker was Pastor Sheryl Brady, who is an anointed preacher and woman of God.  As she began to deliver the word of God, I told my husband,” this word is just for us/me”.  It hit our/my spirit and soul like a led balloon.  The title of her message was “There’s a reward out for our Faith”!  Bishop generally leaves his Sunday messages up until Wednesday morning ….if you get a chance I recommend you watch it.

However, although the message was rahma for me (a now word), it was actually a song that she sung during alter call that has remained in my spirit.  I have been singing it since Sunday not even knowing all the words to the song.  What has stayed with me is “I’ am persuaded Lord to love you”.  I have been meditating on those words since then.  Yesterday, I started feeling a bit under the weather and thought “wow I was just bragging about not being sick” to my family.   For some reason when I do get sick, I know it’s generally a time to press into the presence of God.  It’s in the quiet time of my sickness that I’m still and I can hear Holy Spirit speak loud and clear.  Now this is just my experience, I Know God is not a God of sickness and disease, but He uses EVERYTHING for our good and His glory.

So, I went on Youtube and searched out the song.  I found it and began to listen and shared it on face book this morning….but, I still really couldn’t make out the lyrics.  The woman singing the song, Melanie Daniels, is so anointed in song that I continued to listen and worship.  Then I found the lyrics and artist..or so I believe it’s the original artist (Darwin Hobbs).  God has been doing a great work in my life, my marriage, my children and the ministry we are connected too.  I have seen Him turn circumstances and situations around in my life literally overnight!  As I began to meditate on what has taken place over the past few months….and all the word through reading, prophecy, and ministry…..I am persuaded now to love Him from a pure heart and in spirit and truth!  I believe through the words of this song, it is now time for me to begin sharing through “food for the soul devotional” again.  It is soooo mazing to me how God works and the things He will use to thrust us back into purpose when it’s time.

This song has really blessed me today in a way that I can’t even articulate.  God is speaking loudly and clearly in this season and we ALL must be attentive to His voice.  I pray the words of this song will bless you as well.

Precious Jesus now I love you, How I lift high my voice with your praise.  Holy Spirit, I implore thee drench my heart as my lips part your praise.  I am persuaded; Lord to love you I have been changed to bless your name.  I am constrained by this great gospel, forever to worship you!

This is my testimony today!  I am persuaded by this great gospel forever to worship and give my God praise.  I’m not sure how often I will be blogging……….but food for the soul is Back!

God bless you all.
