12 Encouraging Bible Verses for These Times

By Apostle Tonya

Quiet walks remain a time where I have the most precious conversations with thy Lord. Back in 2016, when I lived in my native, New York I experienced such joy brisk walking. For three times a week, I set out on a path of walking with the Blessed Lord. Ofttimes, I was led by Him to rest at the Grand Army Plaza Library in Brooklyn which also held such fond memories of my childhood. The Comforter encouraged me during what had been a time of transition. How grateful I am for the Lord’s Friendship.

In the midst of the protests that continued to spread globally, I desired to take a short walk in the neighborhood. The Lord is faithful to direct our paths. Suddenly, I was standing nearly face-to-face with a deer. I watched him as he stood in front of a marvelous landscape of trees; staring back at me. Not wanting to forget this moment, I thought of capturing it; while I waited to see if he were going to move closer toward me. The gentle deer remained as I continued with my conversation with the Blessed Lord.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. Psalm 42:1

The Father speaks; we must be still and listen. For me, it was a glorious moment knowing the Lord set my path; to speak to me through the deer who is a symbol of thirsting and longing for Him.

As I sit to inscribe this letter of encouragement, I am near tears reflecting on the tender moments with the deer and the Father’s love for us. It is my prayer as you delight in Him, you will meditate on these Scriptures and be strengthen. Let us remain encouraged, no matter the storm, we must keep our eyes fastened on our Beloved Lord Jesus. Our Lord is with us. Amen.

The Potter has Spoken

By Apostle Tonya

Yesterday, as I was resting, the Blessed Holy Spirit graced me with a vision. In part of this vision, He showed me a marred cup which had been made of clay. As I sat with the Lord to continue to receive His revelation, I read the Book of Jeremiah, Chapter 18. In His faithfulness, thy Lord gave me this word of encouragement for His Body:

“O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.” Jeremiah 18:6

Amen.

Father, this we have confidence in You that if we pray according to Your will, You Heareth us and whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desire of You.
