Grow Through Life
"Don't just go through it, grow through it"- Dr. Shaun Marler
Hi
Partners,
Family and
Friends,
Don't
just go
through it,
grow through
it! God
was
challenging me
not to be
overcome by
the
circumstances,
but rather to
overcome the
circumstances,
by allowing
myself to grow
through this
situation,
thereby making
me stronger.
We
can either
just go
through hard
times, copping
the blows that
we all face,
or we can, by
applying the
Word of God
and its
principles to
our life and
our
circumstances,
GROW THROUGH
THEM!
This
statement from
the Lord was
profound and
hit my spirit.
I went and
picked up a
copy of my
book on 'Praise
Power'.
The book is
about praising
the Lord, all
the time,
through the
good times and
the bad.
Praise has
power!
Praise has so
much power,
that it is
able to stop
the enemy in
the spirit
realm, in his
attacks and
manoeuvres
against your
life.
Psalm
8:2 (SMV)
says, "Out
of the mouth
of babes and
sucklings hast
thou ordained
strength
(praise) because
of your
enemies, that
you might
still (arrest
with force)
the enemy and
the avenger."
I
thought to
myself, it is
time to read
my own book
again and
apply the
principles
that are in
it, in order
to help myself
grow through
this
situation. I
could also
'still'or calm
the emotions
and control
the thoughts
by focusing
on God through
PRAISE,
rather than
magnifying the
problem and
increasing
fear through
dwelling on
the
circumstances.
My answer
lies in Jesus
and His Word.
After all,
He is the Saviour
and Deliverer.
I
learnt that
through Him I
can grow
through
anything!
The
more I
meditated on
the thought
that God had
dropped into
my spirit, the
more the truth
of the
statement
empowered me!
It opened the
eyes of my
understanding
to a greater
level of the
victory, which
Jesus has
bought for us
at the Cross
of Calvary.
None of us
have to just
go through
life, with its
ups and downs,
valleys and
highs and all
of the other
emotions,
circumstances
and decisions
we have to
make or face.
But each and
every one of
us can make a
choice, or a
quality
decision to
grow through
it. A quality
decision, is a
decision that
there is no
turning back
from! I got
that
inspiration
from Kenneth
Copeland.
Right
now again, we
are all going
through a very
difficult and
trying time.
This season of
Covid-19 is
affecting the
entire world
and no
families or
individuals
are completely
immune,
because in one
way or another
on this
wonderful
planet called
Earth, we are
all in this
together.
Share markets
are crashing,
businesses are
going broke
and
unemployment
lines are
growing by the
day, in so
many places of
our world.
The world is
yet to
experience the
full impact or
fall out from
this virus.
However, PRAISE
THE LORD
prayers are
being
answered,
curves are
flattening and
some nations
are gaining
great control
and victory
over it.
Australia,
right now is
one of the
envy's of the
world, for how
the spread has
been all but
stopped. I
want to give,
not only great
thanks to all
those that
have worked so
hard for our
Nation to
achieve this,
but I want to
give great
praise to
God! The
Lord our God!
Who gives us
the victory
through Jesus.
Let's
continue to
pray that not
only will this
virus be
contained, but
medical
breakthroughs
will come that
will
completely
wipe it out.
While
in this season
of social
distancing and
separation,
where many
people have
been confined
to their homes
and numerous
businesses
closed, I
encourage
every one of
you to not
just go
through it,
but to grow
through it.
Let us
continue to
spend time in
fellowship
with our
heavenly
Father. Let
us read His
life giving
and faith
building
Word. Ask Him
for new ideas,
innovations,
wisdom,
strength and
inspiration to
begin again,
in new and
improved ways!
Do
a daily
devotion,
along with
your new
exercise
habits, create
new prayer
habits. Study
the Word and
build yourself
up on your
most Holy
Faith. Pray
in the Holy
Spirit, praise
God with all
your heart.
Do a dance in
your home,
lift your
hands up in
surrender and
worship to
your God.
Remember,
if God be for
you, who can
be against
you?
Don't
allow
isolation to
cause you to
feel alone or
forgotten.
Remember God
will never
leave you nor
forsake you.
Pick up your
phone and text
your Pastor or
a friend or
family
member. Don't
be afraid to
reach out, we
reap what we
sow. I know
that if you
will encourage
others, give
to others,
then others
will give back
to you. They
that water,
will be
watered again
themselves.
Those that
show
themselves
friendly will
reap
friendships.
We are all in
this together,
working
towards and
praying for a
great victory
and outcome
for all.
You can
rebuild, our
God is the God
of
restoration.
He will
restore to you
what the enemy
has stolen; He
is a repairer
and a restorer
of the
breach. He
will bless
you, He will
raise you up,
never leave
you and He
will restore
you. Your
best is still
to come and
better is the
end of a thing
than the
beginning
thereof.
Remember,
we love you
and are
praying for
you! Please
do not
hesitate to
send in any
special prayer
requests.
