Relentless Women of Faith
Denise Renee Taylor
Sunday as I stood in the alter praying with my husband for the open doors God has for us.
The Lord showed me something in the spirit.
I was standing and preaching in my dads old church. My dad was on the platform, my grandma and grandpa were on the front row.
At the moment I was trying to understand what the Lord was showing me.
Later I felt Him say, the enemy stole the heritage that was being laid out for me. The plan was for me to step into that role of pastor when my dad’s time was done. The enemy not only stole my future but my dad’s.
God said to hope again.
God said He never changed His mind about my calling.
I have struggled so much with forgiving myself.
Today as I reflected on this I realized what God was saying to me. I have purpose, I am called to preach. The seeds they planted long ago in my life will come to harvest. The generational anointing has been passed down. That is a scary place to be. I don’t know what exactly the Lord has planned but I know my answer is yes.
The enemy has stolen too many years from me and he won’t get anymore.
I have a hope that God’s promises are yes and amen.
He has a plan and I will wait and trust.
Jeremiah 29:11 ~ For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Romans 15:13 ~ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 12:12 ~ Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
