My Daddy's House

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. (2 Corinthians 1:20, NKJV)

Yesterday we blogged about making the move into my Daddy’s house at the end of my junior year in highschool. Since then, I’ve been thinking about how all the things that became available to me immediately upon the move…had actually been available to me all along. All I had to do was "make the move”. 

His door had always been completely wide open to me; however, external factors held me back and kept me from making the move. I allowed familiarity and fear to keep me bound in captivity. But once I made the move, I asked myself…”Why oh why did I wait so long to move?"

Immediately moving in with my Daddy, I exchanged:

• pressure for peace
• fear for security
• offense for forgiveness
• strife and tension for laughter and joy

Just to name a few.

My Daddy was so loving, graceful, patient, kind and was so gentle in spirit. I am very blessed to have had as many years as I did with my Daddy. 

People have told me, “Yea…but my dad wasn’t like that.” 

I’m here to tell you today…

We have a perfect Heavenly Father “watching for us”. He is “filled with love and compassion" and He "quickly runs to meet us” ready to celebrate our return with everything good He has in His possession! (Luke 15, Hebrews 2:10-13, Psalm 50:10-12, 2 Corinthians 1:20)

Please don’t hesitate, all of God’s goodness is available to you immediately upon the move. Please don’t allow anything to hold you in captivity, all you have to do is "make the move”. (Romans 10:9) 

Move now….and let the party begin! (Isaiah 61:3, Luke 15:24)

Please make the following declaration out loud with me. Father, in the name of Jesus, we decree and declare Jesus is Lord! We believe in our hearts and we confess with our mouth that You, God, raised Jesus from the dead. Thank You for forgiving our sins and reconciling us to You! Thank You for the blood of Jesus! Thank You for Your Holy Spirit! Thank You for saving us! Father, please teach us how to walk in eternal life starting now, right at this moment, and please teach us daily how to walk in authority and to daily take what rightfully belongs to us! (John 10:10)

Please connect with a strong bible based church. You may also connect with solid teachings via live stream every Sunday at www.faithman.org and daily devotions at http://www.worshipandword.com

Welcome to our family! We are grateful you moved!

Moving In with My Daddy

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, (Psalm 92:13-14, NLT)

Recently, a girlfriend from high school posted a "throwback Thursday" picture of herself on her Facebook page. Her picture prompted me to post a throwback Thursday picture on my Facebook page.

As you can tell from the picture, life wasn't good for me at this point in my life. 

However, nearing the end of my junior year of high school, I moved in with my daddy. Immediately, I was living in peace, love, and safety and I began to flourish.

As you can tell from the picture, my life immediately and drastically improved once I moved in with my Daddy.  

The same holds true for my Heavenly Father. Once I received Jesus, and "moved" in with my Heavenly Father, old things passed a way and all things became new! (2 Corinthians 5:17) In that single "move" I crossed over out of darkness and into His marvelous light, into life in excessive abundance! (1 Peter 2:9, John 10:10) And now I spend my days telling of the wonderful goodness of God! (Psalm 100:5, 1 Corinthians 10:31) My best days are yet to come! (Jeremiah 29:11) I am planted in His house and according to His promises, I flourish! (Psalm 92:13)

The pictures above are taken only one year apart. What a difference a year can make once we move in with our Father!

What about you? Have you "moved" in with your Heavenly Father? If not, please feel free to comment below or email us at keytovblog@gmail.com and we can help you walk through that choice!

Father, thank You for calling me out of darkness and into Your marvelous light! Thank You for forgiving me, reconciling me back to You, thank You for restoring me and thank You for teaching me how to have a real, genuine relationship with You! I pray for every reader, that they would have the power to understand and personally know how wide, long, high and deep Your love truly is and how to personally walk in the closeness of a growing, changing, deepening, nurturing relationship with You Father! Thank You in advance for all the testimonies that will come forth from friends and family as they crossover into a deeper relationship with You daily! 

Ephesians 3:18

Moving On

The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. (Psalm 37:23, NLT)

Earlier this year and quite out of the blue...I kept "seeing" Oahu. I would be busy about my day and the picture would pop up in my spirit. It was a picture of the map of Oahu.

Right after I started consistently "seeing" Oahu, my oldest child started talking about and listing all the reasons we should move to Oahu. It was mostly said in jest with a little bit of seriousness. I didn't share with her, or anyone else, what I had been seeing.

Several weeks later, and almost last minute (I believe it was about three days prior) I received notification about a special healing service being held on Oahu by an evangelist. My spirit jumped and I knew I needed to be there. Initially I had a concern about being able to make late travel arrangements and inter-island airfare had been between $100.00 and $300.00 but discovered online flights were only $69.00. I called Mike, asked his opinion, and he immediately told me to go.

While researching travel arrangements (air, car, etc), my nine year old woke up and told me she had a dream. She said she dreamed, "we moved to Oahu". I found the dream and the timing very interesting.

I went to the service and it was a very powerful service. A man who could hardly walk with his cane, stood upright and walked very quickly across the platform without the cane! A little ten year old girl who had been deaf from birth, received her hearing!

A pastor prophesied over me that we would return to Oahu. That I have "radical faith", Mike and I are "pillars, and God was bringing us full circle, back to Oahu."

A couple months later, Mike started tossing around the idea of us going to Oahu to work. I told him we would do whatever we needed to do and I knew he would make the best decision for our family.

I didn't share any of this with anyone except my spiritual mom. I told her because I wanted prayer agreement. I didn't discuss it with Mike because I didn't want to influence him one way or another. I simply wanted God to work on our behalf. It is my heart's desire to be exactly where God wants us to be and when He wants us to be there. I trust His timing to be perfect. I wanted this move (or the decision not to move) to be all of God and none of me.

Last month, the final decision was made and everything is in place. We depart very soon and will be posting Bible Studies from Oahu! Currently, we are unsure if this is a permanent move or only for a season. We wait on Him! (Psalm 27:14)

Please continue to pray for us and Key Tov Blog as we embrace this wonderful and exciting adventure as He directs our steps!
