Go deep with God!

Hi Ladies,

Do you sometimes see other women going deeper with God, excited about their faith no matter what is going on in their lives, and feel jealous? You don't have to be jealous. You can go deeper with God too! It is not just for a few women or men. This deep relationship with God is for everyone.

In I Corinthians 2:9-10, "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.' But it was to us that God revealed these things by His Spirit. For His Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets."

Go deep with God. Break away from the shore and go deeper. What do you need to let go of to allow God to do His work in you? There are hard times and challenges each day. First PRAY, talk to God honestly and thankfully and listen to God. Then dig into His Word and find out the Truth of who God is. His Word is your sword and His love letter to you. God's Word sets us free. Trust God, He is in control. Hear God's message to you. Continue to praise God daily. "The Sovereign Lord is my strength!" Habakkuk 3:19. "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever. Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others He has redeemed you from your enemies." Psalm 107:1-2. Receive God's Truth to you. Hang onto the hope that will not fail.

My surrender plus God's Holy Spirit is enough. "Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him!...The Lord hears His people when they call to Him for help." Psalm 34:5, 17. Our strength comes from a deep relationship with God. Graduate from spoon feeding. Go deeper with God. Get radical. Trust God. He will not let you down.

This is my prayer for the ladies of Apex Baptist Church. That you will jump into the deep waters and go deeper. Hallelujah!!

In Christ Love,
