Welcome to Episode THIRTEEN of Flame of Grace! In this episode Gods timing is truly shown as nothing less than perfect. Rowell ends up in the ER after a major seizure and infection and all progress seemed lost. Even when in the moment it seemed like everything was falling apart, there was divine order and things that needed to take place that in hindsight, now fit together perfectly and it’s something only God can do!

Just as it’s written :

“The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” -Proverbs 20:24 NLT

As she continued in full surrender of her soul, Gods plan unfolded in a mighty way. She was truly understanding that the Battle IS the Lords! Sometimes we try to figure it out but truly we will never know in the moment what God has planned, so our best choice is to trust Him, surrender our will for His and walk in obedience.

For it is written:

Thus says the Lord,

“In a favorable time I have answered You,

And in a day of salvation I have helped You;

And I will keep You and give You for a covenant of the people,

To restore the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages;

9Saying to those who are bound, ‘Go forth,’

To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’

Along the roads they will feed,

And their pasture will be on all bare heights.

10They will not hunger or thirst,

Nor will the scorching heat or sun strike them down;

For He who has compassion on them will lead them

And will guide them to springs of water.

11I will make all My mountains a road,

And My highways will be raised up.

12Behold, these will come from afar;

And lo, these will come from the north and from the west,

And these from the land of Sinim.”

13Shout for joy, O heavens! And rejoice, O earth!

Break forth into joyful shouting, O mountains!

For the Lord has comforted His people

And will have compassion on His afflicted.

Promise to Zion

14But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,

And the Lord has forgotten me.”

15“Can a woman forget her nursing child

And have no compassion on the son of her womb?

Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.

16Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;”

- Isaiah 49:8-16

YOU are written on the palms of Gods hands!! He will never forget you! His plans are perfect! Will you trust even when it doesn't make sense?

Welcome to Episode 12 of Flame of Grace! In this Episode, after only being at the rehab for about a month Rowell lands back in the ER, then began another journey of patience and faith that started to shift everything. God was moving in many ways, showing His timing and helping Adriana use those moments to create artistically. July was a month of major purging and cleansing, where Adriana’s life began to transform. Where she saw and felt the Lord setting her apart and testing her obedience and stripping her of all things that were not of God. Rowell began showing a lot of life and expression and the season seemed it was coming to an end and moving in acceleration. Adriana once again had to learn how to truly trust in God. There are a lot of times where we think it's the time for something to happen and yet we can’t see what God sees. In retrospect, even at the time she thought she was ready for the miracle, yet as she looks back, she sees how God continued to prune and cleanse her from all things that would hinder her from becoming the woman God intended her to be. Can we trust God even when in our eyes things seem one way but His plan is showing another? Can we trust the One who knows us better than we know ourselves?

For it is written:

"Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;

For I trust in You;

Teach me the way in which I should walk;

For to You I lift up my soul.

Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;

I take refuge in You.

Teach me to do Your will,

For You are my God;

Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

For the sake of Your name, O Lord, revive me.

In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble."

-Psalm 143: 8-11

Welcome to Episode 11 of Flame of Grace ! In this episode Rowell and Adriana embark on their journey finally leaving the hospital, trusting God as He leads them to the water: to Rockaway Beach. Having it be the only place out of over 200 places they applied that accepted, Adriana knew in her spirit, God was asking her to trust Him fully. As she experiences the newness of their environment and Rowell begins showing improvement, she celebrates her 30th birthday on the shores of the Rockaways, feeling lonely but knowing she’s not alone. Though uncertain times were ahead, God shows her a rainbow in the sky, a rainbow on the shores of Rockaway, a beautiful promise on her birthday that confirms that the move was Gods will. This being the first few weeks after vowing and surrendering her voice, the attacks of the enemy in her dreams began and the Lord used this time to truly prune and shape her character, helping expose parts of her that needed to be healed and transformed. The pressing and crushing of the olives and wine of her spirit began, and she began to feel herself transforming into the likeness of Christ, a little bit at a time.

How is God using the pressing, crushing and painful storms of your situation to produce the beauty of the oil and wine that will flow out of you? Do we find it difficult to keep our eyes on Jesus while the storm rages? Is He sleeping in your boat on your sea of despair and is He asking you to walk on the water and keep your eyes on Him? Where do you keep your gaze? On the calmness of His rest during the storm? On His confidence and faith in the impossible? Or on the raging storm of circumstances?

When we give our trust to the Lord, He works mighty wonders through us, where are your eyes?

For it is Written:

Psalm 121

"The Lord the Keeper of Israel."

I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]—

From where shall my help come? [Jer 3:23]

My help comes from the Lord,

Who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to slip;

He who keeps you will not slumber. [1 Sam 2:9; Ps 127:1; Prov 3:23, 26; Is 27:3]

Behold, He who keeps Israel

Will neither slumber [briefly] nor sleep [soundly].

¶The Lord is your keeper;

The Lord is your shade on your right hand. [Is 25:4]

The sun will not strike you by day,

Nor the moon by night. [Ps 91:5; Is 49:10; Rev 7:16]

The Lord will protect you from all evil;

He will keep your life.

The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do]

From this time forth and forever. [Deut 28:6; Prov 2:8; 3:6]
