Sometimes blessings don't look like a new house or a car. Sometimes blessings look like a broken relationship, a car repossession, or a lost job. GOD can, will, and does use those things to redirect us, teach us, and draw us nearer to HIM. And when HE does, the HE gives us MUCH greater than anything we ever had before.

In the face of storms and adversity it can seem as though we're never going to make it to the promises of GOD. It looks so far off, and the vision HE gave us at first seems to fade away with each passing "issue". But take heart and be of good courage!!! The promises of GOD are yea and AMEN!!! Whatever HE promised you will come to pass, but while you're waiting don't forget to see HIS goodness in the everyday. You're in the blessings and promises of GOD even now, just look up to see them. AMEN  Scripture Reference:  Matthew 6:33-34 ESV --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/erica-brown24/message

I know....we all think we have all the answers. We all think we know what we need at given times in life. But the beauty of faith is that we don't have to "help ourselves". We don't have to figure it out alone because we are NOT alone! We have a GOOD SHEPHERD who absolutely loves us, died and rose for us to live and have life in HIM. Stop trying to fix it and figure it out on your own, there's simply no need to. AMEN  Scripture Reference:  John 10:14-15 ESV --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/erica-brown24/message

You have unmet expectations. They don't act or behave how you want them to. Was this a mistake? Is my marriage over? NO!!!! Bring your husband/wife, and marriage in its' ENTIRETY to GOD!!! Ask for perspective, healing, and an answer to the overarching question...Is my marriage a failure?

You believed GOD for something that either hasn't come to pass yet, or not in the way you'd hoped...feeling like you didn't have "enough faith"? That's not true, it's a lie that the enemy tells to discourage us and keep us from believing GOD again or staying in faith. The Scripture says all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed...keep believing GOD for HIS promises, even if you haven't seen it yet, or it hasn't revealed itself as you'd hoped.

When GOD speaks we HAVE to listen! And how does GOD speak? Through HIS Spirit which He has put inside of us, and also through prophets. Not everyone who says they have a word from GOD is real, true, or sincere...that's why we have to test the spirits. And how do we do that? We bring it right back to GOD in prayer! We ASK HIM!!! And HE'S always listening, HE doesn't want us to be lead astray.
