Stability During the Storm

Good morning. I'm Tammy Toney-Butler, Healing Evangelist and host of the Reflective Spaces Ministry podcast. I wanted to go live this morning. I didn't. The Holy Spirit has inspired me to do so. I'm actually out of town and traveling, thus the different background. That's the hotel backdrop. I thank you for that Holy Spirit and for this free upgrade. I always want to give you praise on that. You always take care of me wherever I go and Your grace is always with me, and I just worship you. Holy Spirit, just come have your way in this time that we have together. May they hear you and not me, see you and not me, and may they be forever changed. Give me the words to speak your words of truth that you wanted me to deliver to your sheep this morning. That is why you brought me on, Father God, and I just want to praise you and honor you. honor you. And Abba, Father, I just give you all the praise, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and our precious Lord Jesus, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and our precious Lord Jesus. I thank you, Father God. I thank you.

And bring your peace, Father, that surpasses all understanding, O God, your peace that surpasses all understanding. And Father God, I lift up this event that I'm about to go to. Lord Jesus, I lift up every person there, Father. May they see you. May they hear you. May they be strengthened by you and forever changed. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray and declare all things. Amen. Sorry about that. I got a little distracted. I heard the door rattling like housekeeping wanted to come in. And I'm thinking that's kind of early. But anyway, so we go forth and the The word that he wanted me to give to you today in the title of this message is stability during the storm. Stability during the storm. Many of you have been facing challenging seasons, storms. They might be financial. They might be relational. They could be with your health. But many of you have gone through such troubling, troubling trials this season. And you're wondering, when is it gonna end? When is the pruning going to end? What is it that God has for me? What does he want me to glean from this? What can I do? Well, what you can do is endure. You can endure. That's what you do. And you can build up that faith muscle because there's times that we're called to just sit still and just be and surrender to the process, the breaking and the remaking and becoming the breaking, the remaking and becoming. And it's not an easy process. And it's a lot of inner work to where we get rid of the junk that's in our trunk. That we get out of us any hindrances or obstacles to our growth spiritually. Because we want to mature from milk to meat. And we want to eat the word and digest it. And some of you digest it a little differently. And some of you maybe eat a little different meal than I eat. Maybe I can take in a little bit more because of my spiritual endurance, my faith muscle that I've increased, that he has increased as I face trial after trial, tribulation after tribulation, as I've overcome. by the power of my testimony in the blood of the lamb and as we overcome as we endure then we grow then we grow then we grow and he gives us the strength it is the strength of isaiah forty thirty one it is not as in our own strength that we do these things and he put on me today Isaiah thirty three. And he put on me today Isaiah thirty three. And it says, and I'm reading out of the complete Jewish Bible. Woe destroyer, yourself undestroyed. Woe betrayer, yourself unbetrayed. When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed. When you tire betraying, they will betray you. Adonai, show us mercy. We have waited for you. Be their arm every morning. and our salvation in time of trouble. Who do you look to in time of trouble? You look to God. You look to God. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. He is always with you. He is unchanging. His promises renew every morning. He is with us. They never leave us. As long as we stay aligned to his will, as long as we stay seeking after that righteousness, that holiness, the heart of Christ, the mind of Christ, he is with us. He is in us. He is moving in and through us and helping us impact nations, helping us impact the world. And today is the day that we lift him up. Today is the day that we lift up the rock. Today is the day that we lift up the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed on Calvary so that we could be redeemed, so that we could be set free, so that we could be healed. By his stripes, ye were healed. That's past tense. Claim your healing. Grab your healing. You've been made whole. You've been restored. You've been redeemed. You just need to believe it. You need to claim in it. You need to walk it. Claim it. Walk it. Take it. Pull those blessings in. Pull those blessings and speak that over your life. Do not speak curses over your life. Speak blessings over your life. Be their arm every morning in our salvation in time of trouble. At the sound of the tumult, the peoples wander off. When you exalt yourself, the nations are scattered. Your spoil is gathered as a strip by sheer worms. They run over it like a swarm of locusts. Adonai is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and right. He will be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge, and fear of Adonai, which is his treasure." He is our rock. He is our redeemer. He is our judge. He is everything. In him we have our beat. Put first the kingdom of God and all else shall be given unto you. Put first the kingdom of God. Seek the kingdom of God.
