God Sent His Word

Posted on March 20, 2026 by Doula Faith

 

“So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

As I sat waiting for my Christian friend to arrive, I did not expect much to happen, for I had been in this psychiatric center for five months, with little hope that God really wanted to help me.  After all, as far as I could understand, I had just gone too far in misrepresenting who He was.
I was not wavering in faith in believing Who Jesus was but rather doubting who I was.

But God  had a plan for my life and it was GOOD! (Jeremiah 29:11).
I had always believed in His Word, but now His Word, I believed was condemning me. I had misinterpreted it and thought I had lost my salvation. It wasn’t until later, I realized how costly this was.  But God is patient, gracious, loving and full of mercy. So He sent His Word through a friend, and when she read it, I thought of only one thing.
What else could I do but “Wait” ?

“But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” BSB (my emphasis)

Shortly thereafter, I was released from the PC and returned home still experiencing doubts. But, little did I know God was about to perform what He had said. And it happened on a flight to Michigan. On each flight I was assigned to sit near the wing of the plane.  This proved providential – Isaiah 4o: 30-31

Unfortunately, It was during this visit with relatives, I became depressed and emotional. When my mom witnessed my breakdown she wanted to take me home. But instead of wallowing in self-pity, I decided right then and there  I would not ruin this trip, and instead said,  “Mom, I’ll just have to wait on the Lord ”.
That was the moment when I heard the Lord’s small still voice:

Saying, “Don’t give it the time of day, just walk away.”

So in obedience I began ignoring the voice of condemnation and moved forward in faith. While focused, I was strengthen as I felt more and more of God’s affirming presence. It was as though He were standing right next to me holding me up, and “His Peace that surpasses all  understanding” I eagerly embraced.  (Romans 8:1)

On the return flight home while seated once again near the wing, I heard again Him say,

“Even if you just sit there and twiddle your thumbs, and do nothing else, I can neither love you more nor less, because my love is perfect.” 

I realized He was saying there was nothing I could do to earn his love, nor anything to lose it, because it wasn’t who I was but who He is and what His Son did to secure my salvation as “permanent”. His work is finished! (Ephesians 1: 13-14, John 19:30)

“Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.” John 6: 28-29
(my emphasis)

What I learned is when you can speak the Word you believe, God moves on your behalf. That is why I want to encourage you to read the Word yourself and not just read it, but believe it, confess it and apply it to your life.

“From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.”  Isaiah 64:4 BSB

My Prayer: Thank You Lord, for accomplishing what you desired, And succeeding in your purpose to deliver me and manifesting your unconditional love.  1980

”So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1: 27

Genesis 1: 26-31, 1 John 3:2, Galatians 4:19, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Matthew 9: 16-17, Romans8:29, Ephesians 2: 8-9, Romans 10:8-13

DNA

DNA

God’s D-NA = God’s Divine NAture

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:20

What identifies you as distinct and unique among all living creatures and among all human beings is your genetic molecular structure known as DNA– genetic code. Within every cell of your body you have a code of instructions uniquely designed which determine your physical and innate characteristics.

King David known as a man after God’s own heart, gave insight into the intricacy of our physical and spiritual nature and how we are designed for a specific and predetermined purpose (Psalm 139: 13-18 ).

The Prophet Jeremiah recognized God’s loving kindness towards all mankind and knew His predetermined plan is always Good (Jeremiah 29:11).

The Apostle Paul who changed directions and followed Jesus Christ proclaiming His Gospel Message agreed with David’s insight of God’s predetermined plan to conform us into His Likeness. So he went out to proclaim Christ’s redemption to a people who knew not God (Romans 8: 28-35).

In the beginning of creation God created mankind (male and female) in His Image. We were uniquely designed and created to be like God and have fellowship with Him. We were predestined to develop into the “Likeness” of His Son, Jesus Christ
(Genesis 1-2, Psalm 8:4-9, 2 Corinthians 3:18).

Strong’s 3339 – Metamorphoo- (Greek) to transform

When God created mankind, He created them in His image. And when He created Eve, He took from man and formed her to be like him. So together, they were as one representing God’s divine nature. And God made all provision for their physical and spiritual beings (Genesis 1-2, Genesis 2: 20-25, John 17: 21-26 ).

But Adam and Eve chose to take a different route, one away from the nature of God, doubting His Goodness, Eve believed a lie and as Adam listened to His wife instead of God, their divine nature became corrupted. But an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God foreknew of the rebellion and predestined and predetermined their regeneration and redemption
(Genesis 3: 1-24, Genesis 3:15, Romans 8:29,
John 3:16, John 1: 1-4, Isaiah 53:1-12).

Therefore, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ: God in the flesh – The Living Word – the eternal TRUTH. So that all who repent of their sins, believing in Christ’s death for the forgiveness of sin, and His resurrection as proof of eternal life would be conformed and transformed into His Image with the characteristics of His Holy Spirit:
(John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 3:18, John 1: 1-18,
Luke 23:39-43, Romans 10: 8-9).

God’s Character

LOVE, JOY, PEACE,
PATIENCE, FAITHFULNESS, KINDNESS,
GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL, GOODNESS
(Galatians 5: 22-23)

Those who hear the Truth and are converted become the offspring of the Living God and are transformed.  The more they surrender to God’s Divine NAture, the more they become Christ-like. God’s offspring have eternal life and will reign with His Son, as His Bride forever.

Just as Eve was taken from Adam, so it is Christ gave birth to the church – His eternal Bride.
(Genesis 3:15, Acts 17: 29-30, Romans 6:13, Galatians 2:20,
Ephesians 5:31-32, John 19:34, 2 Corinthians 11:2).

Those who reject the Truth- God’s Only Way of Salvation, take on the characteristics of  Satan’s nature. The more they surrender to his nature, the more they become like him, rebelling against God’s only way of redemption; eternally separated from – Jesus Christ (Genesis 3:15, Romans 2:8, John 14:6, John 8:44,2 Corinthians 4:4).

If we do not take on Christ’s righteousness through faith in His death for the forgiveness of our sin  then we remain in bondage to our sinful nature which is in opposition to God’s which brings forth His judgment. But Christ has come to set us free.
(Proverbs 14:12, John 3:5, 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11, John 12:47-48,
Romans 6:2, Romans 2:8-9, John 8:36 ).

There is a spiritual war going on which Christ has won the victory through His shed blood. Those who are covered in His blood through faith in His death on the cross and in His resurrection have passed from death to life. Those in faith will see Christ’s coming and will be with Him forever. Those who refuse His salvation have no covering and remain naked, choosing the path of eternal death and punishment, separated from God’s eternal love (Genesis 3: 7-11, 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17, Revelation 3:8-13, 1 John 3:14,
Proverbs 14:12,John 14:6, Ephesians 6:12).

Dear One, You were made for God’s glory and He loves you unconditionally. As one sin separated Adam and Eve from God’s presence, so do your own.  Even if your sins are as numerous as the sands and as scarlet as your blood, they are washed away the moment you acknowledge your sinful nature and accept Christ’s death on the cross. Then your sinful nature will begin the process of transforming into God’s divine nature as He comes to dwell in your being through His Holy Spirit
(Isaiah 1:18, Psalm 103:11-12, Matthew 1:23, 1 Corinthians 6:19,
2 Corinthians 3:18, Romans 10:8-9).

You will become His temple whom He is pleased to dwell. You will be marked and sealed for eternal life. And you will walk in His light and do the deeds made manifest by the Holy Spirit. For the one who believes is also destined to walk in Truth. The One Who began the work and sanctification in your life is faithful to complete it “on the day Christ Jesus returns”
(1 Corinthians 6:19, 1 John 1:7, John 3:16, Isaiah 1:18, Ephesians 1:13,
2 Corinthians 1: 21-22, Ephesians 2:10, Philippians 1:6, 1 Corinthians 3:16).

The former things are gone, the new is now here as you believe and become who you were predestined to be in Christ Jesus- His offspring with His DNA.
(2 Corinthians 5:17-21)

Believe and Receive for Your Redemption is Near!

Walking on Faith

Posted on March 5, 2026 by Doula Faith

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
Matthew 14:28

As I read about Peter reaching out to Jesus in the midst of a storm, it reminded me of how there are times when I want to join Jesus where He is but afraid.

Sometimes as I am going forward I almost make it, but then overthink. What if this or that? What will I say and do? Is Jesus really in this, and is He inviting me, too?

So, I’ve learned to pray concerning everything before I move.
Is this scriptural, you may ask? I’ll ask you?

“The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4: 6-7

Just recently, I’ve been advancing into what I call unfamiliar territory.  When I arrive at my destination, I know the Lord is there. So abandoning all preconceived ideas  I wait to discern His next move. I just let go of all my inhibitions, second guessing, and  embrace the present moment. Usually, I have a plan; a long thought-out agenda as a safety net. I don’t like leaving my comfort zone without any guarantees, or a security line, in case I am just left hanging there. However, that is exactly what Jesus told His disciples to do when He sent them out with no change of clothing, no money in their purse and no reservations  for lodging.  (Matthew 10:9-11)

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding:
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”  Proverbs 3:5-6

We long to be where the Master is calling, but in the process, we find ourselves looking anxiously about us and sometime slip back in the boat. Jesus makes no promises other than He will be with us to the ends of the Earth. No matter how safe it appears, it isn’t, unless Jesus is there.

Whenever I am asked to leave my comfort zone and join Him where I don’t want to be, He  not only is with me, for me, He can work through me.

I am forming the habit to pray about everything, trust Him for the outcome,  and to presume and assume nothing other than what His Word tells me.

I WAIT for His signal to move, or be still.  What a rest to do things His Way, according to His Will.

“Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.” Isaiah 64:4
