A Little Pizza Story…..

A little Pizza story..….by Laura Grace

Hi Friends, so last Wed, I was on auto pilot and getting ready for work, doing dishes, taking care of business and put this little pork roast in the pot, covering it with seasoning and got it cooking.

Before I left for work, I prayed something I have not prayed in a long time. “Father I ask you, Order my steps today” and quoted how a righteous man or woman’s steps are ordered of the Lord.”

I was very sincere about it, and fully expected all of my decisions to be “of God” as I was realizing I was over-thinking things.

At 3:30 I thought “I need something for dinner” and ordered a pizza from the cafe, picked it up and brought it home after work! As I was getting in my car I realized “Why did you do that? You have a roast cooking at home” 😬😮😂

I was embarrassed, but my husband said “No big deal” we’ll have roast tomorrow! So I took the toppings off my part of the pizza, put it on sourdough toast, and we had ‘PIzza night” …..

I SO Enjoyed that pizza, and cut up the small roast, turning it into two different meals for the next two nights ahead. This is a classic case of what often happens when we follow after God. It will appear “illogical” and mess with our human brain, and the bible clearly says “The natural man cannot receive the things of God.” 1 Corn 2:14

I was blessed by the Pizza, I had much Joy, and all is well, the roast was not wasted. But I gotta tell you, for a “split second” I thought I messed up! Thank God I didn’t trip and fall over the devil’s accusation that I was silly for ordering that pizza!! Love you!! -Laura

“Give me Understanding, Lord”

Don't be like a horse or a mule, the bible says, "Ask for Understanding" so you can be spirit led.

“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”

I know we’ve all heard that saying! Truly, I have my times too, when I can be stubborn. I find it interesting Jesus “Rode’ a donkey but think about this for a minute:

We don’t have to drink in God’s word. We don’t have to ‘seek him on every decision.” I am so thankful I had a preacher in my life to challenge me, years ago, to seek God about everything I do, and every decision I make. I’m so glad he preached righteousness to me (Right Standing with God).

Through the years, I’ve watched people mock, say thing like “Gosh Laura you don’t have to pray about everything!!” Yes, I do, if I want to have success! Sometimes they get to me so I don’t pray and whatever I’m doing falls to pieces…

Putting God first takes diligence, hard work to exercise our minds and heart to do his bidding. Remember YOU DON”T HAVE TO but Athletes who train get better results…..

And those who continue to have to be bridled and led, who lay their ears back and fight God’s leading…….

Wlll not have the victories they hope to have IN HIM.
With Love ❤ ❤ ❤

Praying like a Rock Star (Holy Spirit, Come!)

Laura GraceLeave a comment

Why do we like Rock Stars?

And why do so many want to be one, but never get there?

Rock stars become stars- because they hit the nail on the head (somewhere) they are hitting on what people are feeling, experiencing, wanting & desiring!

Yesterday I asked the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me…Yes I was seriously talking to HIM (Holy Spirit, come, please lead and guide me!” …..

Now that prayer is not in our bibles but, I did it anyway. I know He is a PERSON not a thing! 

I then prayed for my someone, and prayed what I felt LED to pray vs what my brain wanted to pray (which is always safe, and not risky!!)

That person was moved to tears- and God touched him, because of that prayer. It was God! (his WILL being manifested through my prayer time). The Lord literally showed me how that person was feeling, and I said it out loud……

That, to me, is praying like a Rock Star! Not for money, not for fame, but many people just do what they know people need from them (and become famous, as a result). Jesus was one of them. In Fact, He showed us the way!

“Father, give us more of this we pray! We hunger and thirst after you, Father God. We hunger and thirst, after you! I ask you to touch every person out there today- who is led to pray a certain way, but their mind is questioning things.

Set them free Father, from the chains that bind and Free their Mind! Help them to be Brave Father, and pray the way your Spirit leads them to pray. In Jesus’ mighty name!” Amen –Laura Grace,Author, Grace to Grow. http://www.lauragracebooks.com
