Recently the Lord spoke to me concerning “assignments and mandates.” I was on my deck about 2 weeks ago enjoying a cool beverage and just thinking about how incredibly blessed I am. I then started to think about the wonderful success that Danny Gokey has had through A.I. How his life will never be the same again! I was just talking to the Lord about it and I said; ” Lord, there’ such a mandate on his life!” After saying this I was reminded of a time, in my life, that was so painful and frustrating! I was so filled with hope for something to work out, but it just would not work, no matter what I tried! I then wanted out of that particular task, because I could not bear to be in such a place of “stretching” and embarrassment! But I knew in my heart that I couldn’t just walk away from it! I then began to think where I was at in my life today and how, though there has been tough moments, it has been the most fulfilling and quite frankly, easiest thing I have ever done! The Lord spoke at that moment and said…the assignment is as much my will as the mandate! The difference between an assignment and the mandate is that an assignment changes YOU while a mandate changes OTHERS! I realized that even though the painful experince was tough, it was very much the will of God for my life. Why? It was designed to change me so that I could get to my mandate, in order to change others! You may be in a tough time in your life, but don’t try to get out of it…it’s all apart of your story, to make you better for where God’s taking you! The quicker you realize that, the quicker you’ll be on your way to your mandate!!!

It’s so simple, yet a mystery! What am I talking about? The love of God! The word of God is clear…”Nothing can separate us from the love of God!” This ought to make you shout, that you can never be removed from God’s eternal, unrelenting, overcoming, overwhelming LOVE! You can’t earn it, you can’t purchase it, you can’t be good enough to get it! You just receive it!!!! WOW! His love the bible says is EVERLASTING! Today, receive His amazing love and watch worry and fear go away!
