“Speak kindly to her; and call out to her, that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed, that she has received of the LORD’S hand Double for all her sins” (Isaiah 40:2).
I am going to try to share with you ladies what goes thru my mind as l journal Chapter 15 “Rebuild the Temple” of Moving Mountains and share this lesson with you.
The 1st thing is where the writer is sharing about boasting about her weaknesses in not paying her ministry tithes and the huge backlog that she is now trying to catch up on.
It immediately brought to my mind taxes that l have not done since l started working from home and the other admittance l need to make is that l used to work as a bookkeeper so l have some idea and the knowledge to submit it. So really in my mind l have no excuses. Therefore l must confess to you and it gives me the opportunity to boast about my weakness.
Now when l think about all the money l could possibly owe our revenue services its worrying…
But then l went on to read in the chapter how we should not try to think up and make plans to get ourselves out of the mess, we must start by giving it to our HH. Here is what it says:
Darling, are you where I am too? And, wow, do you see? There is no fear. All we have to do is relax and give it to our Heavenly Husband to work out for us. He’s got the perfect plan— so why do we waste our time and effort by trying to think of our own plan that wears us out, worries us to death, until we give up—so we will finally turn everything over to Him?
So all l need to do and you need to do is relax and give it to Him?! All these years of taxes that l have not submitted ? Sounds crazy but phew its a relief 😳
Heres another portion that l want to share:
Dearest bride, would you believe that just knowing the intent of my heart, all of a sudden, things that were broken God began repairing and replacing!?!
Things will come right when HE senses the intent of our hearts, that we want to put things right and we are trusting Him to fix it.
“Speak kindly to Jerusalem; and call out to her, that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed, that she has received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.” Isaiah 40:20
God’s grace and mercy are there for us, and our Beloved died so we could have them. So why then do we not use what He died to give us?
Theres so many truths here that we can tap into. I hope that like me you are starting to see the revelation and letting it sink into your heart.
What seemed impossible is not and all it takes is a change in mindset as we understand the truth and look at the backlog of anything we owe bills that need to be paid even bills that have accumulated and the plans we made… especially those we need to give it to Him to take care of.
We can relax and let Him work it out and not try to do anything in our own strength. All we need to do is rest trustingly in His arms. And let him take care of us like the brides we are ❤️
All we can do is to give these situations to our Beloved, before my previous taxes, I also just surrender it to my HH to work it out for me, because in myself I cannot do it. I am totally clueless with taxes, although I am learning, but PTL He send me the correct person to help me. In the end, He knows best, and if He is for us, who can be against us?

Adina it was definitely your testimony of how HE sorted out your taxes that brought my taxes out into the open where l need to “face it” but l dont have to face it alone and l have the word of your testimony to encourage me and put my trust wholeheartedly in Him as l surrender this 🥰🤗❤️ Yes amen for that Adina!! If He is for us who can be against us?! Amen!!
así es debemos entregarle todo a él y siempre tener un corazón sincero, si nos rendimos de corazón él obrará.
Estad quietos, y conoced que yo soy Dios..
salmos 46:10
That’s right, we must give everything to him and always have a sincere heart, if we surrender from the heart he will work.
Be still, and know that I am God..
Psalms 46:10
Gracias Nelly, sí podemos estar quietos y descansar en Él, eso es tan maravilloso 🙌 es importante rendirse 🙏🙌
Thank you Nelly yes we can be still and rest in Him that is just so amazing 🙌 its important to surrender 🙏🤗
Thank you for sharing precious Atarah. Yes isn’t it just wonderful that all we have to do is to relax in our Darling Lord. I remember a few years ago when I suddenly had to pay a lot of tax back and my Darling led me to be quiet and just to trust Him and He for sure stepped in and I even got an amount back after Tax Revenue Department audited me and I believe our Darling Lord is going to work it out for you too.
Thank you Janine 🥰 for that encouraging words l am in agreement with you most definitely HE will do something amazing for me to come share 🤗
Love the way to express my dear! This is a huge part of really loving and surrendering our lives to Him!! Debts included! Just keep praying and believing that He is in control and nothing takes Him by surprise!!
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13

Thank you for sharing my dear!
Thank you Isabella yes this book definitely is so encouraging. Yes amen thank you for that scripture Isabella i am going to take these scriptures shared and keep them as my promise 🙌🤗❤️
Oh Atarah, I have a mountain of debt that seems like I will be forever entangled. I know and have given it to Him and relaxed but then fear will try to overwhelm again and tell me I am doing something wrong so the Lord will not bless me. I have to then go again to His word to remind myself of His promises. We should not try to think up and make plans to get ourselves out of a mess, but instead start by giving it to our HH. We can relax and let Him work it out. Thank you for sharing and thanks for your help in keeping me lifted up. ❤
Yes Hope 😀 its so wonderful to know that l have another dear sister to stand in agreement together that our wonderful Beloved is going to take care of us and we will both have amazing testimonies of what HE will do 🙌🤗❤️ yip we have to go back and keep reminding ourselves of His promises. Also to THANK HIM and PRAISE Him for what He is doing to do to sort out our mess and what HE will do 😀 lets get excited 😊
