“You’re thinking too small!” That’s what the Lord spoke to me as we drove home from church on Sunday. I asked for a point of reference and He directed me to look around me. So I looked all around me and again I heard, “You’re thinking too small!” So I asked that He open the eyes of my understanding and help me to see what he was trying to show me. Suddenly I knew it wasn’t what I saw in the natural that he was referring to, it was what I saw in the Spirit realm.

Isaiah 55:8-11 CEV says: “The Lord says, “My thoughts and my ways are not like yours. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, my thoughts and my ways are higher than yours. Rain and snow fall from the sky. But they don’t return without watering the earth that produces seeds to plant and grain to eat. That’s how it is with my words. They don’t return to me without doing everything I send them to do.”

I need to think like God does and not allow the smallness of my natural view to stunt me from all God has for me. Like Elisha, I need to see the fiery angel chariots on the hills of deliverance rather than the natural enemies that surround me. Father, I trade my eye sight for yours. I trade my vantage point for yours. You are indeed higher and mightier than anything that I face in the natural. Everything I need is in your Word and I will focus on what is in your realm and not mine. I trade my words for your Words, for they are life and health to me. Others may not understand me, but I seek to please you by becoming more and more like you each day. You’ve called me to come up higher, to leave the world behind, so I come. Into your arms, I come. Into your Word, I come. Into your deep and everlasting love, I come. In your grace I will make my home. Make me more like you.

I’m on a journey of sorts. Going somewhere to do something that’s bigger then I’ve dreamed of doing before. My ears are open, my heart is set, my direction predetermined. My hope is placed in my God, he knows where we’re going even though I can’t see my destination.  My assignment clearly defined: to be an Ambassador of Hope to fellow travelers, those who’ve signed up to climb.

My name, Sandra or Sandy as my friends know me, means helper of mankind. I don’t just speak to be heard, I use my voice as God intended me to. To build up, encourage, challenge and proclaim. I fully intend to leave my mark on the world in ways I’ve never done before. The time is short, Jesus will return soon and we must be ready, shining bright to the world around us. There’s no way to hide a light for it pushes back the darkness wherever it goes.

Where He leads, I follow if I must go alone, I will. I have left the familiar for the supernatural. I trust God with all my heart, whether I see it or not. He has asked me to step through a door but I can’t see the floor. I trust that as soon as I walk in, the Light will show me the next step. I know that everything I’ve been through till now has prepared me for this. 

Psalm 27:4 “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.”
