Perfect ending to a beautiful day. We visited my p Perfect ending to a beautiful day. We visited my parents for my Dad’s birthday. He turned 86 yesterday! Then, we came home to the most gorgeous skies in our backyard…it’s a work in progress y’all…mostly read dirt, but those skies make up for the mess! Happy weekend, friends! #birthdaycake #86yearsyoung #daddysgirl #amyelaineministries #sunset #route66

Had the best coffee this morning! Thanks @edisonco Had the best coffee this morning! Thanks @edisoncoffeeco for helping me get to Worka 😉 In fact, I’ve been working on some pretty fun new things behind the scenes. Can’t wait to share them with y’all! 💛✨💛 #comingsoon🎙🎧🎙#thegracefrontierpodcast #amyelaineministries #gracepavestheway #victoryisyourdestiny #iamavictorygirl #faithjourney #xmarksthespot #gracefoundme #happyfriday #cupofjoe ☀️ I love a bright and fruity pour over ☕️ in the morning and around 2 (no milk 🚫no sugar). What about you? How do you take your coffee? Have a wonderful weekend, friends! 💛AEM
You’re not walking alone even when there’s no You’re not walking alone even when there’s no path yet. Because God is always going before you, walking beside and behind you. Leave a trail for others to follow both you and God down the path He’s carved out for you. What’s our part? To walk humbly with God. In everything we do, we are leaving a mark. Since we’ve been marked for eternity, let’s pray our lives point others to Jesus. This is evangelism at its core. We are living stones. We are Imago Dei—the image of God, made in His image that others might see God in us. 💛AEM
“For you have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God. For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love becomes the mark of true maturity. Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. And bring your constant praise to God the Father because of what Christ has done for you!”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬, ‭14‬, ‭17‬ ‭TPT‬‬ #amyelaineministries #trailblazer #pathfinder #thegracefrontier #thegracefrontierpodcast coming soon
What a weekend! Love this “Victory is a Person.” -Pastor Tim Haynes ✨✨✨ Posted @withregram • @christfamilyokc We’re still not over this past weekend!! What an amazing way to start off this year! CFC Ladies, we had SO much fun with you. We were reminded that with Jesus we can face the battles of this world with confidence! “Be still, and know that I am God!” Psalm 46:10

Our Women’s Bible Study starts back up Wednesday, February 8th, 7PM @ the Church! Head to the Family Groups tab on our website christfamilyokc.com to sign up! We will be starting the study: Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen!

I wish I could explain all that God spoke into my I wish I could explain all that God spoke into my heart as I prepared for this past weekend’s retreat. This picture is only a glimpse of the image God placed on my heart for these women. This is a message that I lived out before speaking out. For the weeks after I first met with the women’s ministry leader for this event, anxiety plagued my heart and mind with unrelated things than speaking and preparing for this event—crazy, out of nowhere events that took my breath away (literally in one case), unexpected trials, unprecedented circumstances that felt like a punch to my gut…YET, God continuously showed up and walked me through so that I might turn around and guide these ladies along the pathway to victory He had shown me. As I shared some stories this weekend, I came to grips that it was a necessary assignment to walk through in order to be ready to show these precious women how to be VICTORIOUS instead of anXious because “God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭5‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
We can choose His Presence over our panic. When we lay down all.the.things on the altar and wait on His holy fire (Psalm 5) 🔥 we get access to the very heart of God. It is He who makes our hearts unshakable. Holy Spirit in us makes Victory more than merely a possibility, but a promise! X marks the spot where grace found me (and you). ✨✨✨I’ll be sharing more of what that means on the upcoming episodes of my new podcast “The Grace Frontier” where we will begin to Forge Our Way to Freedom, Faith, & Self Forgiveness. As the weeks roll by, we’ll walk alongside each other as we Journey with Jesus in each new episode. I can’t wait to share with you what He’s been teaching me over the past couple of years. It’s been a #faithjourney of #surrender and #graceupongrace and #victoriousliving 💛AEM #gracepavestheway #victoryisyourdestiny on #thegracefrontier #thegracefrontierpodcast #amyelaineministries #amwriting #wildernessadventure #xmarksthespot #gracefoundme
Today was the culmination of a three day women’s Today was the culmination of a three day women’s conference. My heart is full. My mind is a mixture of exhaustion and renewal intertwined in the best kind of way. Today, I finished up with a short talk about the sacred place of STILL before Pastor Tim gave some powerful points on Living in Victory. 🏹I’ll have a deluge of pics coming your way soon. It was a wonderful weekend filled with breakthroughs and holy moments. Indeed, we are set free in the Presence of God.  These are the points of truth I hope the ladies walked away with this weekend: X (Christ) marks the spot where grace finds us, marking us for Eternity. We camped out in this verse: “Be still and know I am God.” Psalm 46:10 is both a command of courage for believers and a “calling out” of the Enemy. A line is drawn in the sand and declares God is the Lord of Hosts, a very present help in our time of need. He fights for His own. Our inactivity is actually a powerful position—when we are still, He is working. If you want to read more about this sacred place of STILL, you can go to the pinned post in my feed. It’s by far my most read post to date. I was honored to get to share it with the people of @christfamilyokc today. #amyelaineministries #bestill #bestillandknow #faithjourney #bestillandknowthatiamgod #victoriousliving #iamavictorygirl #truthteller #church #sundaymotivation
Message Prep. Finalizing my retreat talks for this Message Prep. Finalizing my retreat talks for this weekend. I’ve been studying for weeks, writing, creating, praying, planning. Crying, laughing, feeling all the feels and all the anxiety too. Of course, I am because that’s my topic, “LIVING victoriously in an anxious world.” So, why wouldn’t I be feeling more anxiety than ever. Seriously, the warfare has been intense which means the enemy is not happy because I’m calling him out in order to set some women free (myself included)! Let’s do this! ⚔️ 🛡 ⚜️ 🏹 I’m coming for you ladies of @christfamilyokc 💛 Can’t wait to be with y’all all weekend! #amyelaineministries #faithjourney #castyourcares #layitdown #graceupongrace #xmarksthespot #thegracefrontier #womenintheword #sermonprep #preachit #psalm46 #bestill #bestillandknow #godisgood #godgirl #allthethings
The last time my hair was this short was in 2015…and this is still my favorite picture of my man and me. Taken unawares—we weren’t posing, we were present. We were enjoying the moment—the now. This is how I want to spend my days. Unaware of whomever is watching and fully in the moment of what really matters. Family. Faith. Friends. Eternity. I’m preparing to speak at a 3 day event…the topic is living victoriously in an anxious world and all manner of warfare has surrounded me—from all sides, in every arena, and yet, God is near. In the quiet places and sacred spaces, I am reminded of His very real Presence in our time of need. Where people disappoint, God remains faithful. I’m ever grateful my husband, David, has my six. He holds me up and cheers me on when the world around me is in chaos. Somehow, he knows when I need to slip away with the One who keeps me grounded and makes me whole. Only Jesus satisfies. We can’t expect anyone or anything to meet our deepest needs except Him. God always has our back…He goes before us and behind us. Grace paves the way forward when all Hell is breaking loose.  So, if you’ve read this far, these evening thoughts are to remind you that the goodness of God is chasing you down tonight. Trust the process and lean in a little longer—linger with the Lord until you can taste it. Yes! 🙌 “Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!” Psalm 34:8 ✨ “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 💛AEM #sleepwell #darlingdaily #amyelaineministries #goodnessofgod #eveningthoughts

Yesterday, he turned 24. Gabriel Ryan, my youngest Yesterday, he turned 24. Gabriel Ryan, my youngest and last born. Second to none. He’s empathetic, kind-hearted, smart, and loyal. He makes me laugh out loud and brings me to my knees in prayer—the perfect mix of wit and adventure. I adore him. He makes me think differently and see things from a new perspective. He’s grace and gravity combined with a gentle, wise beyond his years heart. #boymom #amyelaineministries #24 #happybirthday

So excited to share this with y’all today. Loved So excited to share this with y’all today. Loved chatting it up with my friend @carlaarges Posted @withregram • @affirmingtruths This is such a great conversation on how to handle life - and our emotions - when we are faced with delay. 

When God doesn’t show up when WE want.

“When the world gets loud, its time to get quiet “When the world gets loud, its time to get quiet with God.” 
—Amy Elaine Martinez 

I’ve been hiding since last Friday in these amazing books sent to me by @ourdailybread (BIG thank you!) 

✨✨✨✨ 

What a wonderful way to start the year! ✨2 0 2 3 ✨ Beginning my day with a bite size portion of God’s Word and ending each day with the same has been wonderful. 

🤔 I used to think “having my quiet time” had to be in the morning before anything else or it didn’t measure up—wasn’t good enough to please the Lord. Not anymore! Listen, that kind of thinking feels heavy and Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden light. He loves to talk to us throughout the day—any time, any place. 

When we remove the rules and regulation of religion, we’re left with relationship and that’s what God is after—your heart (and mine). Sure, there are benefits of getting with God first, but it doesn’t mean you have to have a prescribed amount of time and a stack of books and pencils and highlighters and a Greek/Hebrew lexicon out to honor God. Sweet girl, start the conversation wherever you are. 

Whisper, “Good Morning, Lord.” 

🔑 Acknowledging His presence is the beginning of intimacy. The Psalms are a great place to start and I’m loving this book by @laurasmithauthor “Restore my Soul: The Power and Promise of 30 Psalms” 📖 is a refreshing right-now look at ancient truths that will help you meet with God  in everyday moments. 💛 When the world gets loud, I know I need to get quiet with God. 💛 If you’re wondering where I’ve been lately…I just needed to get away…because the Wilderness is calling and I must go. I’m working on finalizing the launch and first episodes for The Grace Frontier Podcast and life has been a whole LOT lately.

Sometimes, there are no words. In these moments, d Sometimes, there are no words. In these moments, draw near to the One who is near to the broken-hearted. He is so close—let the Comforter hold your heart when it feels shaken to the core. Indeed, on our worst days, the Lord is our best place of refuge. Run to His Word; He will meet you there. I’m praying over the unspoken heartache today. May the Lord bless you and keep you, especially if you’re grieving in your heart of hearts today. Call to Him and He will answer. When we come empty to the Lord, He is gracious to us in our time of need. Leave a 🖤 if you or someone close to you needs 🙏. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalms 34:18 #brokenhearted #amyelaineministries #psalm34 #nowords #prayerwarrior
If we are jars of clay, are you willing to be brok If we are jars of clay, are you willing to be broken? 

The hidden treasure of Holy Spirit within us trickles out, gushes out, leaks out for the world to see—through the brokenness and the cracks we often see as flaws. We deem our imperfections and flaws as making us unworthy, while God says otherwise. What if we could see our brokenness as God’s beauty mark upon us? How then might we relish in knowing others gain a glimpse of Heaven when they see His light through us. 

“Broken is the most beautiful we’ll ever be.” AEM 

“For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.
We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves”

His mercies are new every morning. They don’t ru His mercies are new every morning. They don’t run out in the midnight hour. When the dawns breaks, the King’s daughter finds her strength again for she is all glorious from within. psalm.45.13 ✨✨ ✨ When we are hard pressed with anxious thoughts, when time is ticking, and we’re not sure how we’re going to make it. Mercy meets us in that moment—making us “all ready” for what lies ahead. Because, in truth, God already knows. He’s already been there. And, He’s with us now. 

When you don’t think you have what it takes to face the days ahead, “be still and know” God’s all ready to walk into your tomorrows right by your side—in all.the.things, all.the.time, He is always God. 

“Be still and know that I am God.” psalm.46.10 

Cease all warlike activity. Stop striving. Cast your cares. God is fighting your battles. Walk in the confidence of knowing He, alone, is God—a very present help in time of need. 

Prayer: God, I’m at my wit’s end. I’m weak, weary, and worn out by all that’s come against me and all that stands before me. The hurdles are huge, the doubt is daunting—fear threatens to take take me out. When I don’t know what to do, Lord, I will be still, keeping my eyes on You. Though trouble surrounds, I will not be moved; no, I will pause and remember You are my stay. Therefore, I can stand, be still, and look fear in the face—for I know who holds the future. Amen. 

“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Waiting has long been an act of worship. Here we s Waiting has long been an act of worship. Here we see one artist’s glimpse into the ache of waiting, the anticipation of what’s to come. Friend, if you’ve been waiting on the Lord, Christmas shows us He always shows up on time—not our time, but His. Surrendering our lives to His ways is worship. Oh for the joy set before Him—Jesus, the babe born to die. Mary spent her life waiting on all.the.things spoken and prophesied about her baby boy. A kingdom not yet come. An upside down worldview that shook the foundations of religion. Jesus came to make a way for relationship with the Father. I can’t help but wonder what this young girl prayed over her long-awaited baby, the Messiah. Oh how the weary world rejoices. Love came down on a not so silent night, as all of Heaven celebrated the birth of the King of Kings. #merrychristmas #jesus #thereasonfortheseason #amyelaineministries #faithjourney #marydidyouknow #messiah #forsuchatimeasthis #silentnight #holynight #lovecamedown #prayer photo credit 📸 by artist Gino Santa Maria
