It used to be the media. The big-time preachers. The polished ones with platforms built on television networks and book deals. We got whatever we could get our hands on — cassette tapes passed around in church circles, early morning sermons on the two faith channels we could find, messages filmed on big stages
Thank you for this timeous confirmation in my life. I've been out of the mainstream church & various media platforms for a while now & wondered why I didn't really miss them. I felt guilty that it was just me & God. Just me & prayer. Just me & my Bible. But I was at peace!
I've realised that it had to be this way for God to clean all the misconceptions out of me, calm me down, and get me to a place where I could hear HIM!
Recently, He has been bringing people across my path who are going through tough times & all I've been able to offer them is prayer. And in my safe, small, quiet space (my bedroom) I've discovered the joy & fulfillment of intercessory prayer. I feel as though I've found my purpose. Just God & me, in a peaceful place!
What a great reminder, to consider the significance of those small spaces. God has blessed me with a number of these spaces in my life in “retirement,” including the opportunity to spend time with our grandkids on a regular basis. I especially am blessed by the “connection” I have with my 3 year old grandson and the one on one time we spend together. Praying for the Spirit’s presence in those times!
Awesome post, beloved Sarah!!! It almost takes my breath away when I see how Adon Yahhusha (Lord Jesus) uses you to touch and speak to those who are out of the mainstream church world . He speaks His Love through you to those who are seeking to walk with Him in spite of their fears and tears at what life has been throwing at them. His Beacon of Love and His Faithfulness to all of us shines so beautifully through the Words He has given you to speak. You are, indeed, one of His Lighthouses.
Thank you so much! We've been to big churches and small churches. The best church is when we make a personal connection. Find a way to be His Hands and Feet. If we can't, then pray.

This is so beautiful to read! What a beautiful bond to grow with him ❤️
My small spaces are chats with my hubby and kids, Sunday evening church gatherings, quiet moments with Jesus.
Small spaces of faithfulness is where it’s at! I love your heart.
Love this ❤️ the small chats are where it’s at. I too treasure those moments with my hubby and kids. Bless lovely x
Loved unseen faithfulness...it's just me and God in prayer and devotions
Love hearing that ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much beautiful sister! Your encouragement is so needed right now ❤️❤️❤️
How do you know my mind and my heart?
How do you NOT run out of so many perfect words?
How do you keep going?
Rhetorical questions for sure because I KNOW! You make it clear—HE is with you! HE works through you!—HE guides all that you do!
THANK YOU!
Haha oh you are so sweet! I’m a bit of a deep thinker and pen all day. If you saw my notebook addiction…. Bless you lovely 🥰
