Stop Running

"The battle is Mine." I hear Him say.
"It's a spiritual war you face this day."
"Yes My child you have a job and there is a fight,
But it's not by your power,
Nor your might."
"But by My spirit, says our Lord,
That you will be victorious and win this war."
"Now armor up and take your place."
"Your sword is My word,
Your shield be faith."
"Crown your head with salvation,
Let your garment be praise."
"Prepare your feet with gospel shoes."
"No turning back,
No more time to lose."
"For I have called you,
Anointed you,
Prepared the way."
"Walk out your gift my child."
"Stop running I say."
  
  This is dedicated to Deep and Sven. Both wonderful friends to me. They have both encouraged me greatly to begin to walk out my calling from the Lord. They know my fears but because of their words I have found the courage to say,"Here I am Lord, I humbly accept the gift and responsibility You have chosen to place on me. I am but Your servant and instrument, use me Holy Spirit."
To both of you I say thank you and may our God always bless you.
Love,
Juls

Juls. . .

I am so HAPPY that you have finally decided to stop running and accept the call that you've been given. . .

You will find that this is the thing that you've been called to and that you have the gifts to perform His calling. . . you can do it. . . if you couldn't. . . He wouldn't have called you to do it. . . He will uphold you. . . He will strengthen you. . . He will give you what you need to do this. . .

So, take up the challenge. . . face it. . . He won't let you down. . . He believes in you. . .and so do I my friend. . .  

Wonderful poem. . . and I am honored to share the dedication with Deep. . .

Always,

Hey girl! Oh to have friends like this huh?
That's a big blessing to have encouragement from them.

Shield yourself with His word, and you are protected.  This is a real gift to not only your friends but God as well!

Thanks for sharing this! I loved it

This is a wonderful inspiration for everyone to stay standing in there during the peak of the battle... Don't Run... Stay in there and fight.  It is not only our life on the line but it's our brother's and sister's lives as well and we are all dependent and supportive of each other.  Thank God for your good friends who have been there for you during the battle and didn't turn and run from you but to you.  God Bless You, Bob <><

Juls; Wow, You have been called and you have heard! The power of His Love here, in your new found surrender and the power of His Love in you devoted friends is a glorious testimony! I am in awe! The Angels are surely rejoicing! Love, your sister in Christ, Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Yes Bob today is the day of many different spiritual battles. Mine has been the battle of accepting the call on my life and the feeling of inadequacy but through the help of these two I realize I only have to be a willing vessel He will do the work through me. So yes thank God for them. And thank God for you and all my other family here at Passions. God bless you also Bob.

Juls, God sends many messengers in many ways...how fortunate that you have been able to acknowledge these gifts and know them for what they are! This is what I call our little miracles in life...and why not?

Sunshine you're so right. Messangers come in many different forms.We as people sometimes don't even know when God uses us to speak to others for Him. Deep and Sven have been human angels to me, encouragers, lifters of my head and just simply been used of God during this trying time for me and I will be eternally grateful to them and to our Lord for using them.
