Birth Of Heavens Inspirations
Testimony of the Creation of Heavens Inspirations
I
thought I'd share this testimony on the birth of Heavens Inspirations.
God was prompting me for a while to create a website where I could
display some of my poetry and to have a page for sharing about Jesus. I
kept putting it out of my mind because I had no idea how to do it. I
had limited knowledge of the computer, in fact, you could say I
was completely computer illiterate. It was only about 1½-2
years prior that we actually got a computer, and just over a
year prior that we got onto the Internet. I didn't even know how
to work the mouse when we first got the computer - now I have a website!!! Every now and then God would bring back the idea of creating a
website to my mind. Finally, this year (2003) I decided to give it a go. I
was part of a Christian website message board that had a
Technical forum, so I asked for help there. I had a prompt
response from someone that helped me immensely. I must say it
was extremely hard. I felt like how Peter must have felt when he got
out of the boat and walked on water. This was an unknown area for me. I
had a lot of attack in my mind when trying to do things unfamiliar to
me. Negativity such as 'you're too thick to do this', 'only intelligent
people can do this' etc…I haven’t got much of an educational
background, so this was a weak area that Satan used to attack me
in. I felt like giving up many times, but the desire to see it come to
fruition was strong, and it was this that kept me persevering with
it.
I'm finding now that when I finish a page, I have more ideas
for other pages to add to it. It's like it's branching out into
different areas - and my writing is also branching out into different
areas. When I got the idea for the 'Women’s Corner', to inspire
and encourage women to rise up in the gifts God has given them, I
thought of finding someone that writes Devotionals to share them on
this page. I guess that God once again was prompting me to write them
myself. I kept thinking that I had no idea how to write Devotionals;
it's something I hadn’t done before. More unfamiliar territory. I felt
as though God was saying to me 'you didn’t know how to create a website either'!!! So I thought there’s really no excuse. God obviously
wants to stretch me and expand my writing. It is challenging, but I'm
excited about it.
The reason I share this with you is to, hopefully, inspire and encourage you to step out and do what God has
laid on your heart to do, despite what others may think or say. Despite
what limitations you may think you have. God will equip you
and place people across your path to help you. There comes a growth
within ourselves when we step out in faith, as well as being able to
minister into other people's lives. Let God 'expand' you. Let God
'stretch' you. And see what He can do through you. So, if you have a
dream or a vision God has placed within, all I have to say is 'Rise
up, Go forth and Do'.
God Bless You!!! - By M.S.Lowndes
