The Key to Success? God! June 11, 2018
So you may have noticed I haven't posted a blog in a little while.
Every 3 months, my husband and I go on a 21 day hiatus and just create a retreat with God in our own home. We ask for prayer requests and just spend that time in deep intercession for other people and for ourselves. And honestly, we just watch God move like crazy!! Our prayers get answered so quickly and its amazing. Travis and I live a lifestyle of fasting and praying, so during this "retreat" is a designated "God-time."
No blogging. No encouragement emails were sent out. I was online a lot less. This wasn't a time of sharing; this was a time of impartation and intimacy with the Father.
Those who were prayed for *did* hear from us and got a text-version of our prayers to them. And all those we prayed for, we believe that God will move in your lives and are expecting tremendous praise reports!
Also, during that time, people kept giving us free stuff! And at the end of that time, I got a new car I could pay full in cash and also *right* after the retreat, I sold more books in the Barnes and Noble signing than I've ever had with any of my other signings.
I say this to remember, we chase down God. He does the rest. He opens the doors. He adds the supernatural to our natural to do the impossible. But it's time with Him, it's focus on Him, its loving on Him….and THAT's when the blessings will chase you down!
I would just encourage you in your walk. Let's get back to the basics of our faith. Let's not get too caught up in ministry -work where we forget the meaning behind what we do. Let's pause our agendas. Let's put aside distractions and just sit…just be…just come back to the feet of Jesus.
"As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” - Luke 10:38 - 42
