Give God Your Flowers

 

 

So much has changed since God appeared to me one night and told me to follow Him to a hotel room with two kids and no income. My promise from God was that He would be our home and our endless support. 

 

That meant that we would not be without comfortable accommodations and that God would supply all of our needs out of His promise. Back then God used mostly donations to the ministry to honor His vows to hold us up. 

 

The requirement from me was total obedience to share my stories and to follow His path. It was a step of obedience to trust God to support us through this blog. That path often caused me to get attacked by the blind religious ones and those who had deceit or jealousy in their hearts.

It was really painful but before I even started, God had warned me to not put trust in money or in people, but to only put my trust in Him. It was an encounter of intimacy that would forever change my world. 

 

God carried us by His promise fulfilled for over 6 years and He is still holding us up. During Christmas, I decided to write about some of the miracles that God had done and I gave it out as a gift. 

 

That was a mistake. That little book was turned against me and it attracted a massive attack from an accusing spirit that was not led by God. After the attack happened, there were very few donations coming in and many who once claimed to love and support us turned against us. I really saw how weak man’s love was but I also so how indestructible God’s love was. 

 

My critics chose to follow those who claim to have visions and encounters with God, but they don’t, they just claim to. I never put men on a pedestal (no matter how popular they are), because they are not always who they say that they are.

 

Meanwhile, I endured some of the hardest times of my life. During that hard time, God was reminding me of the 6 years of testimonies He has given me of seeing God’s love materialize endlessly. I went into deep despair and I went down into a really dark place. 

 

I wasn’t sure I wanted to do this anymore or even be in this world, because I was so appalled by how unkind man can be. I was sickened by the lack of love and mercy. I couldn’t believe that a gesture of love was returned with a slap in the face from the accuser.

 

It was heartbreaking, and yet Jesus met me in that darkness. Out of the deep darkness of misery, I beheld the absolute beauty of God’s promises shining like glittering stars. Even though I lost hope for people, I was rescued by God’s promise again and again. 

 

I fell in love with God all over again and that dark time that I endured only caused me to lean into Jesus even more. I wept buckets during that time but those tears were transformed into diamonds of God’s intentional love. Even when the whole world seemed to be ugly with evil thoughts and words, God showed me His unstoppable promise with so much love. 

 

God sent me over a thousand a week–every week– for months before and after that attack. Even in the chaos of attacks and bitterness from the unkindness of man, I was receiving bouquets of love from Jesus. Because of the cost of where we stayed, there were some weeks when I ate less, but God never failed to uphold His promise and supply all of our needs. 

 

God generously covered all we needed, even when I could no longer be friends with men. God honored His promise, that even if the whole world turned against me, His promise would stand. 

 

The reason that God’s promise was continuously fulfilled, even when so much hate was being pushed in my direction, is because I gave my promises to God. 

 

One night God was showing me that I needed to give my “flowers” of promise to Him to protect and hold. That way, when I was battling the warfare in my mind, then God would protect my promises from being stolen by doubt. 

 

Following God on this journey has been both the hardest thing of my life and yet the most wonderful experience I have ever known. I have got to meet God in a face-to-face way, as He fulfilled His vows. 

 

Not only did God show up to fulfill His vows to me over and over, but He was faithful to me even in the midst of the biggest devil attack I have ever known. 

 

Although the accuser tried to take me down and turn many against this ministry with Jesus, it failed. The accuser will get all of those bad fruits returned to him because you cannot curse someone that God has blessed. 

 

As a matter of fact, those attacks are going to prove to be my biggest blessings because God turns every curse from witchcraft into double blessings. 

 

I am thankful that God is holding my flowers of promise and I encourage you to give God your flowers of promise to hold and protect. Surrender them to God and then rest in God’s love to protect you from every attack. 

 

God will return those flowers of promise to you as a bouquet of His tangible love. His love grows through anything and nothing–not even those who claim to love God (but don’t) can separate us from God’s love.

 

It is one thing to say that God has said things, but it is another thing to actually see those promises bloom as miracles through the most difficult places. Going through such a painful time gave me intimate encounters with God’s love that revitalized my life. 

 

I am thankful that Jesus has been there to cause His promises to bloom for us throughout these years and I am even more thankful that no one can take that away. The flowers of the promise are in the safety of God’s refuge. 

 

Even when I suffered from horrible attacks and accusations, God was fulfilling His promises of love to us continuously. I love God’s promises and I would rather be entwined with Jesus than be anyplace else in the world. 

 

Nothing can separate a love like that, it doesn’t matter who the critics “say” that they are. Love does not lie. 

 

God’s promises to us are made of His intentional love. In the midst of the storms and warfare that blow through, only the love will remain. 

 

 

With love, Dannette
