Do Less so He can do more




Journal entry - 30 May 2017 



Do Less so that He can do more.


This is a concept that the Lord has been reminding me of.


This month was meant to be a time devoted to going deeper in the Lord. It follows a very busy season where we travelled across the US a 40 day ministry trip.. 

But lately I've found that we have become very busy once again. 

We had to make quick trips to Tennessee and Philadelphia. On top of that we had friends organizing conferences and we attended both to support them. Ordinarily, we are not conference people, we’d rather be evangelizing on the street, but we made exceptions for our friends.



All this, on top of a list of goals that I am working on. I’m an ambitious person with BIG Goals …. Needless to say, I found myself beginning to feel overwhelmed!



And that is when the Holy Spirit began to comfort me. 

He said “ Slow Down.”



I heaved a sigh of relief.



The Lord Jesus has told me in the past, “Do less so that I can do more.”

He's also said, " Slow down so that I can speed things up."



And I have witnessed the Power of simplicity.


Simplifying goals, 
Minimizing distractions 
and Emphasizing Rest … 
is what produces great fruit.



Being busy doesn’t mean being fruitful. 

It just means you’re busy.



But being in His perfect Will, in a deep state of peace, whilst moving along purposefully and deliberately, doing every job with excellence … 

Now that is what bears great fruit.



Thank you Lord Yeshua for the reminder to slow down and remain in you. Thank you for surprising me with your efficiency as I hand the reigns to you! J



 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.~ John 15:4

The Ecstacy of Loving God

Journal entry - 25 May 2017 This morning in my 'Holy Hour' with the Lord ... I sat and waited upon him at 3 am , sang in tongues and soon found Him. :) But it was at around 4 or 5 am, that I noticed a special love began to wrap itself around me.... It was so beautiful .... that I am inspired to write about it in my journal entry this day.  I use the title 'The Ecstacy of Loving God' for this particular blog post as it is a commonly used term that describes the intimacy as well as the absolute pleasure and delight that is found in the Lord. The title is also that of a well known book that describes the mystical state of love that come in union with Christ. However, I use it not to refer to the book in particular but to share my personal thoughts on the sheer delight, yes the Ecstacy of Loving God! :) Lately, it feels as though I have plunged into colorful oceans. There is so much to see, appreciate and learn from. There are beautiful beings and sig

Write it Down, then Run with it!

Journal entry - 24 May 2014 Habakkuk 2:2 - Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.   Today I am reminded to write a clear vision of the goals and plans that I see coming to fruition this year & in the years following.  I have written them before, but I am feeling led to add more details and specificity. When the Lord gives us dreams, desires & hopes, He has planted the seed. But it is up to us to water, tend to them and see that these seeds flourish into a great & mighty tree.  Picture a tree that in it's strength lends great influence - It provides shade, food,nourishment, refreshment as well as beauty to those who come to it.  It's a fruitful tree :) Writing down goals/visions, thus making the end result clear in written or visual form creates a great sense of excitement and joy. This leads to high levels of motivation to RUN with what is written. It gets my adren
