No temptation has overtaken you ... or have you allowed it?

What a day!  I keep finding myself frustrated instead of walking in His peace.  Stopped to seek His leading and felt lead to get out my Young Living Peace and Calm essential oil.  I smelled it and applied it to my forehead and heart area while praying asking for guidance to how I can walk this day regaining my peace and joy seeking any areas I needed to repent and give over to Him.  I love how God works and how He uses the Young Living essential oils to  take me to even higher and deeper levels with Him with prayer.  Here's where I was lead:

1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV)

13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

This verse was a part of my study time today. If you asked me, I would currently say that I am experiencing frustration and not temptation in my life. So I ponder, where is the temptation this verse speaks of currently in my life? Am I being tempted and blinded to it? or ignoring it? Is temptation in my life the root cause of the frustration that I'm experiencing?

I can so easily and ... being soul baring honest today ... I have actually given spoken authority to allow others and their actions to bring frustration to my life and my action or re-action to their action or lack of action. Wow! I guess that definitely feeds into Sunday's John 15 vine and branch study time. Today, I am not bonded in and drawing from The Vine as I am called to be. Today, the actions I have chosen to walk out in response to people and environment around me ... would be such that I do not see bearing good fruit - all things are possible with Christ; however, I'm not feeling joyful with my day thus far so I'm thinking I need to prune this stinking attitude or temptation and get my good fruit bearing on.  Ultimately I have the authority in my life to choose where I'm drawing from with my every breath ... so I'm taking back control and choosing God's peace.

So thankful that even in the most frustrating times, God has a way of getting my attention and getting me to stop, draw in a deep breath, release it and then draw in His breath of peace while I seek what I am allowing to disrupt His peace that He has for my life. Are you living your day bearing good fruit or needing a pruning?

I'll leave you to ponder and examine your life, I've got some amazing warriors that I get to go repent to and ask for forgiveness for not bearing good fruit.  Then I get to spend the rest of my day producing good fruit and speaking good in to others that I had thrown rotten fruit at.  Redemption ... what a sweet gift and opportunity!

Choose Joy! Free Hope Tank Fill

Here's a text that I got to share with a wonderful person who gave me permission to share it here on the blog as we wanted it to overflow to all.  So enjoy and Receive fully!

Beautiful morning to you!  God brought you to mind during my study time.  He loves you so much and wants you to remember what you see with your eyes is not always truth but His Word and promises are always truth.

The theme I'm getting for you today is JOY!! (If you had the Young Living Joy oil I would suggest anointing yourself and wearing it as a covering.  If you want to purchase it or sign up to get it at wholesale we'd be honored to assist you and have you on our Be Healthy His Way Team!)

His Word is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  Here's His promises He has for you to be standing on and know that He loves you:

Psalms 126:5. Those who sow in tears shall reap in Joy.

Isaiah 51:11 So the ransomed of The Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads.  (You) shall obtain joy and gladness. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Keeping His commandments and abiding in His love brings us:
John 15:11 These things I have spoken to you that My joy remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Wow, How exciting!  We don't create our hope, God himself produces hope in us! That's so reassuring and energizing! If hope runs low then get back to being opened to receive from God, whip into His filling station to get a fill up on hope!  It's even free!  In fact ... I'm going to take some time myself and top off my Hope tank now.

Love you much!!
