A Vow to God; A Song in the Night

Welcome to Episode TEN of Flame of Grace! In this episode, Adriana recaps the very last months Rowell is in the hospital before officially moving to the Rehab/Nursing center they currently reside. The story resumes at the start of Holy Week 2024, where prayers were answered in many ways and the Holy Spirit moved within Adriana creatively while she still trekked through the deep sunless valley of her wilderness season. Here, at the bedside of Rowells hospital bed, crying out to God and expressing herself through spontaneous worship, her first official worship song was birthed! “Hosanna” was a product of pure and true worship in the most painful place in her life. The pressures of having to leave the hospital while Rowells respiratory status was unsteady and everything seemed to be overwhelming; God was telling her to be patient and trust Him. “Even though I don’t see…I believe “ she wrote, as Adriana continued to carry the cross of her tribulation alongside her love Rowell, who was fighting day and night in Faith, the Faith the Lord gifted them both by His grace. A powerful surrender was made and a vow to God to dedicate her voice was declared, and with that she began to fully allow Jesus to be Lord of her life. “Be still” and “stand firm” was what she held onto as she battled with Ephesians 6 and put her armor of God on! “I can’t be afraid of change” she said “LEAVE ME fear! Only the Prince of Peace is welcome” she exclaimed as she finally began to feel equipped in battle as they neared their last days in the hospital. A new journey would begin, far off on the shores of Rockaway Beach, where God would continue to work and show His mighty hand, even when she didn’t at first realize. 

Have you ever felt you had to at first see to believe? The very definition of Faith is to believe in what is unseen!

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” -Hebrews 11:1 KJV

It can be very difficult to believe, and that’s why we have Our Lord Jesus to lean on and Gods word to fight back with! Knowing Gods promises for us and Gods character is so important during difficult times, knowing He NEVER leaves us nor forsakes us! Often times in the psalms we hear David crying out in ways we recognize in our own hearts. And He always praises God for who He is. Can you recount all the moments God worked in your life during difficult times to remind yourself that your current struggle is just as safe in His hands? He’s always with you, by you, in you…working it all for your good!

“Therefore my spirit feels weak within me; My heart is appalled within me. I remember the days of old;I meditate on all Your accomplishments; I reflect on the work of Your hands. I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, like a weary land. Selah. Answer me quickly, Lord, my spirit fails; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will be the same as those who go down to the pit. 8Let me hear Your faithfulness 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. Save me, 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, Lord, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.” - Psalm 143:4-11

Join Adriana in Flame of Grace as we explore these troubling moments of her testimony and overcome with faith and see how God leads us!

Jesus LOVES you!
