Today as I prayed with a group ladies, God gave me a very powerful revelation that I'd like to share with you. One of the ladies was praying for the victims of the recent fires of Central Texas and recounting the miracle of a couple finding their wedding ring in the midst of the ashes. It was as though her words were spoken from the Heavenlies themselves. This couple needed to search among the ashes, the ruins of their lives in order to find that which they treasured and through supernatural intervention, they found their prized possession--a wedding ring.
Fires are raging everywhere. In our homes. On our jobs. In our churches. In our finances. In our families. In our bodies. And for many there is little left, except ashes. There seems to be no hope. Everything.... is....gone. Maybe you're ready to give up. All that's left is empty promises and unfulfilled dreams. But our God, our Great Redeemer has this word for you:
Search among the ashes, and find your treasure.
What have you lost? Intimacy in your martial relationship? Have you lost everything financially because of a recent layoff? Has your child walked away from God? Have you lost your joy? Seek, as one searching for a Great Hidden treasure. Persist. Get dirty--really dirty. Deal with painful memories. Dig past the rubble. Do the hard work. Search for the hidden treasure. And if you persist, you WILL FIND it. God promises that those who seek will find. I also want to encourage you to solicit friends who will seek with you. It is much easier to find a hidden treasure with help. Friends will encourage you when you want to give up, and keep you from getting sidetracked. Searching for treasure among the ashes isn't a work to be done alone. And don't forget to dress properly for the occasion. You don't search through ashes with flip flops and a tank top. Put on your armor--the FULL armor of God so you will be able to take your stand against the Enemy.
I believe that as you search you will discover that your treasure is God Himself, for He said that He is our inheritance. In Him you have ALL. God is a compassionate and generous God. He delights in giving His children good gifts. Expect that He will bless you in ways you cannot begin to imagine.
Don't give up. Don't walk away.
Keep looking. Keep searching.
Through the ashes
Luke 11:9 "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. [10] For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

I have promised to obey your words.
I have promised to obey your words.
