Yesterday, I heard someone say, ”We live in a hopeless world”
•
Hopelessness can be debilitating, but it's actually not the end. There are so many people turning to God right now, and some people will say ”as if that's the answer” - but it actually is
•
When we come to the end of ourselves...when we can no longer see a way out...a way past our circumstances...we search for something else. This is when we turn to God, because we realise we have nothing left to give...whereas He has been waiting for an opportunity to show us all along
•
”My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9‬
•
Sometimes, we think that that there is no way out...no redemption...no forgiveness, and yet, God is love. Therefore, His mercy is greater than anything this world can throw at us, or anything we can do, and God promises forgiveness when we turn to Him
•
Jeremiah saw a ray of hope in all the sin and sorrow surrounding Him. The Israelites saw hopelessness, but Jeremiah saw the Lord's great love, and therefore knew, they would never be truly defeated because God's compassion never fails
•
Friends, there is NOTHING too big for our God to get you through, get you over, or break you free from. Hopelessness means that you have simply taken your eyes of Jesus
•
Therefore, this morning, my prayer is that when all else fails, you still dare to hope, you still dare to dream, and you put your trust in God - because you are a son or daughter of the living King

I have been a little overwhelmed by the feedback that people are sending me after they read my book ”Life’s Greatest Battles”
•
The irony is that I battled with myself to even take the step of getting it published, let alone the book launch, and then promoting it - in fear of rejection. I know it sounds silly as I write these words, and yet, the reality sometimes is all too real for me
•
However, God spoke to me this morning after I received yet more feedback. He said: ”Spiritual freedom is often found between the pages of someones heart to yours”
•
How many times will God speak to us, but it is in the testimony of others, which see the breakthrough in our lives
•
Sometimes we don't get to see the fruit of our obedience, faith and trust, but yesterday, God was gracious enough for me to receive yet another review of my book
•
”After following Rebecca’s blog for a while, I heard she was releasing a book - and I knew I HAD TO HAVE IT!!! This book has changed my life! I find it amazing how Rebecca can compare the old and new testament to each other, and she really hit the nail on the head as far as helping me, have the right words to preach the gospel to others. This book is on such a level that anyone can understand it. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Christian faith, who wants to know more about God, and even the non-believers - read this book and see what we get so extremely excited about! God is amazing, and Rebecca was able to remind me of just how amazing He is - even through "Life's greatest battles" God is always there.”
•
At some point, we have to strip back the ”junk” that we have allowed to overshadow our relationship with God, and start afresh...and I know that this book was written for such a time as this
•
I am now taking bookings for 2020/2021 to speak on ”Life’s Greatest Battles” so please get in touch if you have an event coming up, or conference, because I am living proof that breakthrough is available to each one of us

Something I always found hard to do was to admit that I was wrong. I was raised to get back up fighting when anything, or anyone, knocked me down, but this created in me a hatred, a fear, or even a delusion that I didn’t need anyone in life

I certainly was never an individual to admit my mistakes – so when things went wrong in life, I would ”dust myself off” and go for Round 2, Round 3, or whatever was needed, to not look weak

Now I understand that it’s our human nature that wants to hide sin, or overlook our mistakes because to change, very often it means acknowledging the issue, confessing it to God, and others, where necessary. I have realised that it is foolish to not stay on the ground and pray for God to help me through these circumstances because that is when history repeats itself

Friends, those of us who are strong enough to admit our mistakes and sins, are usually those who are comfortable in their identity with Christ

God has shown me that it takes more courage, and grace, to admit when we are wrong in a situation, because we understand that admitting these things means we don’t always have to be right, to still be accepted or loved

We need to remember that confession doesn’t mean weakness…it means forgiveness

There is something about Psalm 130:5 that when I read it, my soul lingers

There has always been an anticipation of knowing what is to come (through my hope in Jesus) but the more I meditate on Scripture, the more truths are revealed to me, which then encourages me to wait further

Yet, waiting is one of the greatest heartaches we can endure – it goes against every fibre in our being, to wait, and I know for myself, I am no exception, but there is a grace that comes with waiting and trusting in God. A grace of supernatural faith to know that God will fulfil His promises at the right time

There are things that I know are about to happen in my life. Things that I have waited for, that God spoke to me over ten years ago. Yet, the danger can be to run ahead when we are on the cusp of a breakthrough, or a blessing. That fatal whisper in our ear to ”go” – yet we know that it isn’t quite the right time

Friends, waiting is a blessing, because it means that we are letting go of the natural circumstances to lean into the power of God to help us when life feels difficult

Waiting gives us time to seek God’s wisdom when times are complex

Waiting allows God to protect us under His wings, when we are walking down a slippery slope

An omniscient God can guide us in the waiting with His ability to see all things

An omnipresent God can come and ”sit” beside us as He guides us beside still waters to restore our waiting soul

Sometimes the blessing is in the waiting itself – therefore, I want to encourage us today to continue to press in to God, and stop listening to the whisper of the enemy to ”go” because so many of us have fallen through impatience
