When it comes to finding the keys to really be in the "sweet spot", in THE VINE, sometimes we can get lost amidst the journey.Have you ever begun something, such as a class or a teaching, and you were so determined to walk out each step? But then life happens, and you cannot even remember where you started?I've been there many times. God in His grace and mercy keeps bringing me back to the basics. The first and greatest basic is this:"So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’” Luke 10:27I have been taking time to go through some revelation steps that the Lord has shared with me so I can continue to prepare to walk where He has called. Healthy In The VineThis step in walking out being in the vine of your destiny, in the sweet spot, is pivotal to your lasting effect as a Messenger. You have to be persistent to be healthy to handle the destiny. That means you will have to exercise your faith, and exercise your body!I broke down healthy to handle destiny into three sections as I prayed about sharing this. This is what the Lord gave me:Sound Mind--This kind of exercise is the diligence to stay in the Word, listening to sound Word teaching, and surrounding yourself with people who will celebrate you and not just tolerate you. I cannot tell you how having a few real close friends to speak life over me has impacted my life. I'm blessed to have a Kingdom seeking husband who empowers me daily. And..I'm blessed with a few real close friends who simply "get me." It's like we have each other's back, not just in prayer, but also in speaking truth even if it may hurt. Pray. Ask God for a friend like this!
Sound Emotions--How often do you exercise forgiveness? To truly walk in healing of past soul wounds and even current issues, you must walk in forgiveness. Offense is the quickest way to have your whole body get out of shape and have sickness attack.
Sound Body--Yes, this means the physical exercise of your body. As I pursued this step, I was amazed by how my NOT drinking enough water was bad for me. I went on a journey of studying and learning about eating right, losing weight, gaining weight, fighting disease, and walking healthy. I must say this is a step that needed my attention. I have also witnessed my husband's amazing journey to losing weight. He took on Beyond Diet's plan and has never looked so good.
