TC: He Wastes Nothing

If you already read the HSD Endure the Refining Process, I’m sure you’re well aware that I’ve been going through a stormy season. In fact, I am currently writing this from my husband’s computer because right as I was about to post the Refining Process message a couple days ago, my computer screen went blank, and no personal efforts have been able to remedy the situation. (I prayed over it too, guys). It literally turns on, but I can’t see anything. Mind you, my computer hasn’t fallen. It hasn’t endured any recent spills. It was working perfectly fine prior to this. When I looked up my computer’s symptoms, Google says that there is likely a hardware issue at play here (I just bought this computer less than 2 years ago).

But you know what? Every time I think about this one challenge, I smile.

I aggressively pray about everything else, yet I smile when I think about this.

I rejoice like Paul said I should, and not in an obligatory way.

I’m genuinely excited about my computer randomly crashing.

Weird response, right? Let me explain, though.

It’s because I have never seen a more blatant attempt to stop my destiny and the ministry that I have been called to walk into in all of my days.

And it gives me such pleasure because now I know with utmost confidence that 1. I am being tested in faithfulness by God Himself and 2. I am such a threat to the enemy’s kingdom that Satan is desperate to try anything—anything at all—to stop me right now before I go any further.

It’s as if the enemy isn’t even trying to be covert anymore.

There’s no “am I crazy…or is this an attack?” There’s no room for that right now. It’s just blatant throwing things at the wall to see what sticks and what can stop this train from moving, and I am TOO excited.

‘Cause ohhh, man! I’m close to something big.

(**PAUSE! I just got a download! I randomly stopped writing and asked, “Lord, is there a bigger meaning behind this? The fact that I know my computer is still working (because keyboard lights are still on), but I can’t see anything?”

And then my mouth dropped. “Just because you can’t see the picture and you don’t understand what’s going on, it doesn’t mean I’m not working.”

Yall—

I love God so much, like…I’m speechless. I’m sorry. Still processing and writing all of what is happening in real time.

Wait, Lord? Should this be an HSD?

Just a part of the testimony? Got it.)

Annnnd we’re back.

I just want to encourage you today with the fact that God is very intentional about what He commands and also what He allows concerning you. Keep fighting to do what He has called you to do. All of it is necessary.

But wait! Before I go, I want to hear from you!

My absolute undying love for testimonies and the life that they give me should be studied.

I’m so serious. They make me so happy to be a Child of God.

So…please, don’t be shy! Can you testify of an instance when the Lord turned something around that was a clear strategy of the enemy designed to discourage, destroy or derail you but GOD used that same weapon to bless you?

Okay, I’m getting giddy now.

By the way, testimony unlocks the doors to so many more blessings! (Just inserting a shameless incentive. Carry on. :)

So I encourage you to testify! I can’t wait to hear how the Lord has been so good to you!

Drop your testimony below!

I’ll be reading…and smiling ear to ear.

I love you,

and thank you for fellowshipping with me.

Continue to do all you do with Love.
