Field Time Week 3

“The Lord repay Your work, and a full reward be given to you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”
Ruth 2:12

The Lord provides a reward through every hardship we face. Not always the reward we want, but the one we need. Knowing Him more has been more than a reward for me, but a renewed/pure heart. I rest in knowing that He is with me always. I want to be kind hearted like Ruth. I want to put others needs before my own and step into the unknown. My God is sovereign and He will guide my steps when I put my life into His hands. I want to be obedient and go when God says go and speak when God says speak. I must submit to my authority here with out grumbling or complaining in my heart. I only get this season once and I want to take advantage of this time I have and fully seek the Lord and all that He has for me. I pray to be a woman of strong faith and pray the impossible prayers because I serve a God who provides the answers. My heart isn’t in the right place so I pray that God would heal it and turn it right again. My application is to start praying with more confidence and more authority in my words during community prayer.

Romans 15:1

August 24,2017 “When then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1 Jesus did not come down to please Himself. His strength didn’t come from the feedback He received or how many people He healed. His strength came from God. We are weak, but in Him we are strong. In the book, Knowledge of the Holy , by A.W. Tozer it says that, “God gives, but does not give away.” That hit me because I thought of how many times I’ve gotten puffed up by the strength He has given me in areas and then got pushed back down and humbled. I can’t do anything with out Him so instead of using the strength that He gives me and use it for my own desires, I need to use that strength to build up those around me. Jesus did not come down to show us how strong He is, but to become weak with us and to show us God’s love. It has been amazing doing life with people with the same heart chasing after Him, but in verse 5 and 6 it says to be, “like minde...

July 27, 2017 “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.  Ephesians 5:15-17 Bringing glory to God is what we should accomplish each day. Are days are wasted when we spend them on ourselves and our own needs. We are here to seek in God’s will and it may be hard to understand sometimes, but we need to continue striving after what God has for us. I tend to get so caught up here at IGNITE fulfilling my own needs that I feel will bring me closer to God. Thinking that my personal growth can come before me reaching out to others needs. Discovering that it only makes me feel weaker than before. God has already prepared us to do what He is calling us to do, all we need to do is trust in Him. I need to let go of my image and let God show me who I am in Him. In 1 Corinthians 10:31 it says, “Whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God...

Field Time Week 9

“Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the Lord; Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in Heaven. We have transgressed and rebelled; You have not pardoned.”  Lamentations 3:40-42 It’s so easy to lose sight on our own hearts when we are too busy looking at everyone else’s. So easy to judge people’s hearts by their actions, but where’s my heart in that? I never deserved the right to do that nor will I ever. So many times when I do it shows how wicked my own heart is. Heart checks need to be an everyday thing. Letting God search my heart and revealing to me how dirty it is can be rough, but it can also be a beautiful thing. It is beautiful because He doesn’t want me to stay there. He knows my heart and He knows my desire is to love and honor Him so when He does reveal the wickedness in my heart I know that He is listening. I’ve turned my back on the life I lived when I was home and God has taken away those temptations when He brought me here. It’s onl...
