DAY 45…TAKING GOD AT HIS WORD

DAY 45 with Teresa Ann:

(Click here to listen to the podcast…the pics at the bottom of this blog post is in reference to what I talk about toward the end of the podcast).

TAKING GOD AT HIS WORD

I say this powerful phrase often, “Taking GOD at HIS WORD”; but what does that truly mean? What does “taking someone at their word” really mean? For me, I describe it like this: It is having this bold confidence in someone’s integrity that when they say something; you know it’s for sure DONE as though it’s written in stone.

In other words, it’s having confidence in their integrity knowing that even beyond what seems undone; I just know it is so because of WHO said it. Even if someone tried to convince me differently, no question could cause doubt because the Character of GOD preceded them.

Well, the same goes as lately I’ve been asking GOD certain things, however when I asked, I would get this thought, “It’s MY Promise to you; it’s yours for the receiving; why are you asking?” I was almost taken back by this as I thought, “Well you said to ask…” In this dialogue, that is when HE showed me something so powerful. I remember sitting in awe as I wondered “What the heck I just heard.” Then I just had to know what HE meant. As I wondered, this thought came: “The promises are not to ever be a part of the asking, here’s why: because it is yours from The Father for the receiving. It’s taking ME at MY Word. The asking and receiving takes place on decisions you are facing. Those decisions are to awaken you to face ME and asking ME what I want you to do. The asking in this sense includes ME into every part of your life. It’s not about asking if you can have something; it’s about asking ME to give you insight in an area of your life that you need revelation of WHO I AM in the midst.”

In this revelatory thought, it caused a “Selah” moment, a seeming HOLY pause.

Then I saw this picture:

Our children who live with us, when they come home, let’s just say from playing outside; they don’t ever have to ask to come inside their own home. Of course if they’re having friends come over, this is different; but if it’s just them, it’s their home. They have this respectful boldness, to know they can freely walk in because they can. In this it reminds me of GOD’s faithful promises that are our armor and protection. As God’s children we can BOLDLY ENTER TO THE THRONE ROOM OF GRACE so that we may do something…that something is this: to receive grace and mercy to help us in our greatest time of need.

If we’re asking for something that has already been promised; it is time to simply receive from HIM. We get to finally take HIM at HIS Word. Even though we are catching up to the unfolding promise that is already complete, we can’t let the unseen tell us that it hasn’t happened. It has! Now it’s up to us to just take GOD at HIS WORD! I give example to this in the podcast that is attached to today’s devotional.

REFLECTIONS OF THE WORD WITH HOLY SPIRIT:

Matthew 7:7-11; Luke 21:33; John 14:12; Hebrews 4:16

LET’S TALK:

  • How do you know what GOD’s promises are to know you can just take HIM at HIS WORD?
  • This is why reading the Word of GOD, or what I would call your GOD’S LIVING WILL BOOK; HOLY SPIRIT is the Executor of this Living Will and it’s up to us to just receive what is ours so we can reveal to others what is theirs from HIM as well.
  • The receiving is more than just to say, “Look what I got”; it’s for this: “Look what I have and look what you can have too.”
  • What are some things that HE has promised that you need to finally just receive from HIM?
  • The receiving is done by faith, knowing that it’s yours from HIM. And no matter if you see it right away, your receiving from HIM is like an ignitor to seeing the promise fulfilled…and sometimes in ways that is beyond our understanding.

This picture was taken on February 15th...At first This picture was taken on February 15th...At first my thoughts ran with the cliche that this “Diabetes Ketoacidosis” diagnosis was a HEALTH SCARE! But then as Holy Spirit would, HE changed my perspective...this was not a health scare, instead it was an awakening to Who He must be in my life, even with my body and how I eat and exercise. It was an awakening to His revelation that I am a steward of my body and to love God with how I treat myself and in turn I will love myself as it honors Him to do so. 
•
•
•
Diabetes is not mine; but the diagnosis reminded me that HEALTH is mine, and I GET TO choose it with my everyday decisions. 
•
•
•
When I do everything I know to do and it still doesn’t get better, that’s one thing, but at least I know I did my part. 
•
•
•
The biggest thing was to realize when my blood sugar level was 946 upon my ER visit, they were dumbfounded that I was coherent and didn’t look sick at all. It showed me, WOW! Look how strong God made my body. It was fighting to LIVE more than I was - how much More will it work for me when I do my part and help my body!? 
•
•
•
It reminds me of the scripture, “You shall live and not die and DECLARE the glory of God.” - Psalm 118:17
•
•
•
It’s difficult at times to realize these life slaps wake us up to what is rightfully ours and that is getting to do everything in life as worship! Worship stirs gratefulness of heart and a divine appreciation for what has been given to us.

•
•
•
We are learning that God’s Grace is not just a moment of empowerment - it’s a moment to see the God Who empowers! 
•
•
•
Grace is not something given outside of God; instead it is powerfully an experience to do that moment with God, much like being a witness of what He will do through us as we say YES to Him when everything around us says to say, “No!”
•
•
•
Someone asked us the other day why we gave our daughter Tristin the middle name “Keelea” (Kē-Lee).
•
•
•
It is a cute story as I had met a girl during my pregnancy who was a California girl, and her name was Keeley. In addition to meeting her, I also noticed a popular surfer model in the late 90’s who had dark hair and dark eyes and I just knew our daughter would favor her. 
•
•
Well, it’s funny as Trissy’s love for the water isn’t like it used to be, nor having a desire to be a beach girl - but one thing is for sure, that I can vouch for is this:
•
•
•
Tristin Keelea looks at the mighty waves as something not to fear, but to surf and ride with God’s Grace - and wow does her life radiate such truth?  She refuses to let fear grip her as she knows it won’t only hinder her but also stops her from pointing others to the Father as well. It’s truly a ripple effect. 
•
•
•
In both ways...there’s a ripple effect of fear and there is one of faith...so she has clearly chosen the ripple effect of faith; not just in things to go better; but to have faith in the God Who gifted her with Who He is! Oh how she loves Him - and she makes me want to know God more in a deeper and more vast way! She causes me to look at trouble as a wave to ride with God - now that is perspective I want all of my days. How about you?

•
BUT GOD...
•
•
•
After the car accident the medical diagnosis was Tristin may not have mobility on her left side for 6 months to never. 
•
•
•
BUT GOD...she began to have movement on the 7th day. Minimal but the miraculous movement in her left hand was a HUGE miracle as she was led to speak to her left side and it listened!
•
•
•
After 3 surgeries from one of the best trauma surgeons who did all the things on her left leg, from Titanium rods and screws to bone grafting.
•
•
•
The rehabilitation with amazing speech, occupational, and physical therapists - it has been a journey of seeing how God takes what was meant for harm and turn it around for His glory. 
•
•
With all that said, Trissy has “graduated” to a cane. And her physical therapist who has become like family, found the cat cane! Isn’t this so appropriate? lol!
•
•
•
We are so grateful to God for His ministering of His heart toward Trissy as she has learned of the faithfulness of God in ways she never imagined. She has even said, the accident is not my story; it’s part of my story that points to God. He is good and even if He took me home to be with Him, He is still good! Wow! 
•
•
•
Thank you all for your continued prayers and love for our Trissy, your Trissy! We love you all!
Wow! A phenomenal time with being a guest on “Mo Wow! A phenomenal time with being a guest on “Mommy Chat” with @norarodarte1 - it was a special time in which we were pointed forward, upward and inward to the Father God. You can catch the conversation/chat on @norarodarte1 IGTV

Nora is a daughter of God who demonstrates with God’s grace, His love for His daughters! If you don’t follow her IG, you’ll want to starting today.
Let’s talk about this sweet duo. Wellington is h Let’s talk about this sweet duo. Wellington is his name. He is like a pet messenger from the Lord to his Princess Trissy! 
•
•
•
Wellington is like a God kiss, a therapy of sorts and he loves doing life with her! Oh...and he tries so hard to help her, but he’s learning that she is doing so much better and healing so well. He too gets to see the love of God over Trissy. 
•
•
•
Although there is more physical and occupational therapy to go through for the purpose of training her properly in how to walk, grasp and hold things, training with posture - it’s incredible...so getting to have this time with Wellington and Snoopy (Not pictured) is a therapy like none other! Lol!

Our response to darkness is to keep shining. Keep doing our part. Keep partnering with God IN CHRIST to do what only He can do through us. 
•
•
•
For example, those who are kind to us - be kind!
Those who are unkind to us - be kind!
This is HOW we reveal Who we say we belong to! This canvas is my reminder to keep SHINING God’s light from within!
•
•
•
If we wait for moments to shine- it’ll rarely ever happen! 
•
•
•
We capitalize on every moment.
We capitalize in every season 
We capitalize no matter the reason. 
We are being trained by Him to be UNOFFENDABLE by being His Love!

SHINE!
