Doing Whatever It Takes…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness2 Comments

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Family, it is 3:35 am Wednesday morning, here in Covington, Georgia. I pray that this week’s letter finds you well.

The Holy Spirit woke me up this morning with a message for us. The first thing I heard in my Spirit was, “I had to make sure you wanted it bad enough and that you would do whatever it took to reach your goals. Never take my provisions for granted.”

In my case, the Holy Spirit was speaking of my journey to completing my Masters degree. I have had so many hurdles trying to finish my goals. It seems like one road block after another. Some of the road blocks were created in consequence to decisions that I made.

After many months of setbacks, I was willing to do anything and go anywhere to complete my goal. I was willing to drive to other states, stay in hotels, and be away from my family in order to finish this race. Nothing was going to stand in my way. It was at this point of desperation that God opened a door less than 30 minutes from my house. God whispered to me, “I had to see that you were willing to do whatever it took to cross into your “Promise Land.” Your “Moses” was keeping you from entering in. I had to wait for you to have a Joshua spirit before I could allow you to enter.””

Family, when I say I felt ALL of that word from God!!! Whew, I felt it, and I repented for my previous attitude and soiled entitlement. I am humbled that God has now allowed me to enter my Promised Land just 30 minutes from my house.

Holy Scriptures

Joshua 1:1-6

New Catholic Bible

The Conquest of the Promised Land[a]

Chapter 1

Assurance of Divine Aid. 1 

After the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, saying, 2 [b]“Moses my servant is dead. Rise, therefore, and cross over this Jordan, you and all of this people, to the land that I am giving to them, the people of Israel. 3 Every place that you set your feet down, I have given to you, as I promised to Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the Desert of Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all of the land of the Hittites, and as far as the great sea on the west. 5 No one will be able to withstand you, all the days of your life. I will treat you just as I treated Moses, for I will never forsake nor abandon you. 6 So be strong and take courage, for you will lead these people to inherit the land that I promised to their forefathers to give them.

Family, please walk with humbled-obedience and passion for the purposes God put on your life. Never take God’s provision and blessings for granted, as it may cost so much if you do. The journey that should have taken 4 days may take 40 years if you’re not ready.

I should have been finished with school months ago, but God knew some things had to be broken off in my life. I was originally called under the mantle of Moses, but I received the blessing of the Promise Land under the mantle of Joshua.

Now, I’m ready…

Greetings Precious Family,

I have enjoyed seeing so many friends and family members post graduation pictures from Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, High Schools, colleges and universities. What an amazing adventure. The joy of crossing over from one season in your life to another.

All of these graduates have one thing in common. They are leaving the known and stepping into a new unknown season. This time is exciting, but it can also be a little scary. Most people are a little apprehensive about change, even if it’s positive.

No matter what, I encourage you to be strong and sure, knowing that if God has walked with you this far he will continue to do so. One thing my husband always says is, “God hasn’t brought me this far to leave me.”

Scriptures of Hope

New International Version

Joshua 1:1-8

Joshua Installed as Leader

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Be encouraged, Family. God has prepared a place for you. You have trained, studied, and have been tested. You have graduated from the level you were on. Take a deep breath and Trust God.

I encourage you to spend a few minutes with God, every day, during the most peaceful and quiet time of your day. Ask the Lord how he wants to be worshipped through you. Stay close to his heart, so that you can hear the whisper of his voice.

Your sister,
