Unto the Lord
“Before you do anything, put your trust totally in God and not in yourself. Then every plan you make will succeed.” Proverbs 16
We talk a lot about hearing the voice of the Lord for ourselves. What a privilege it is to be able to commune with Yahweh in such an intimate, personal way. When we surrender our lives to Him the direction in which we go becomes the most beautiful journey. Yesterday, Pastor Tim shared the testimony of The Circle Dance Studio and how it came about. This is a testimony of hearing the voice of the Lord and then saying yes to His spoken word.
June of 2024, Jesus spoke to Pastor Tim, “I want you to open a dance studio.” We had zero experience in dance or running a studio, but we knew if Jesus gave the word He would work out all the details starting with an instructor. The very next week, one of our beloved daughters of the house, Maylin, brought up she has a friend who is a dance instructor who’s looking for a place to maybe hold a class and she had thought about our Event Center. We could not believe how fast the Lord was moving in this. We shared with Maylin what the Lord had asked, and the next step was meeting our beloved instructor, Becca. June 28, 2024, was our first meeting and the presence of Jesus was so tangible. We all knew this was the Lord. We had our first ballet class in October and nine months later the Lord birthed the most beautiful, presence filled recital with the most precious girls.
Yes, we planned but mostly we showed up every week unto the Lord to practice with joy and peace. The best part of this studio is the girls are learning and doing something they love as worship unto Him. They are growing in Fine Arts and developing a relationship with Jesus at the same time. Only Jesus could see how beautiful this would actually be on the other side of our first year.
“Put your heart and soul into every activity you do, as though you are doing it for the Lord himself and not merely for others. For we know that we will receive a reward, an inheritance from the Lord, as we serve the Lord Yahweh, the Anointed One!” Colossians 3
Why is this testimony important for you today? There are so many ideas the Lord has for you and your family, for His children but there’s a shortage of people who are willing to take a risk on His voice. Most people are afraid or apprehensive for lack of hope and knowledge. When you say yes to His voice and prompting, He will work out every detail. When you do everything unto the Lord, you will find hope rising to the surface. You don’t have to be afraid of failure. Abba has and continues to have us in a hope revival at TWP for our individual lives and for our communities. Hope is stirring!
What has Jesus told you before that you were afraid to accept because you couldn’t imagine how it would happen? Maybe you haven’t heard Him because facts made you closed off to His voice. Facts are not the truth – Jesus is the TRUTH!
Start the conversation with Him today. Stir up hope and do everything unto the Lord. We can’t wait to hear your testimony!
