Don't Stray

While at work yesterday I got upset with a couple of my patients who were manipulative and deceiving. I have seen this before and although it speaks to their character, I decided to stay away from them. With the exception of what was required of me. And even then, I fell short and did not even do what was incumbent of myself. Pride put a wall up and within myself I felt as if they did not deserve God's mercy.

I was wrong. The Holy Spirit corrected me with two glaring examples to confirm what He wanted me to realize and to never do again.

The first example was a video that I was watching. Accordingly, the pastor spoke and said that if you allow your emotions to control you and take you off course, then to "Just sit down!" The assignment that God has for you doesn't stop or change because you are having a bad day. In other words, if we are going to be unstable and double minded, we need to give up completely. Because God's will is going to be done regardless!!!

I received the second confirmation as I read Joshua 7:10. Joshua fell on his face before the LORD and could not understand why they were defeated before the Amalekites. Nevertheless, God told him to "Get up! Why is it that you have fallen on your face?". It immediately brought to remembrance when the LORD told Moses the same thing almost exactly verbatim in Exodus 4:15, "Why are you crying to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward!".

Don't Be Replaced

God has an assignment. It is not for the weary or the erratic. His call is a call to action. Unrelenting. Resolute. As His people we must be prepared which is why He admonished us to put on the WHOLE armor of God.

I was already convicted before I left work and came to the realization that a nurse was being petty towards me to show me how that looked in myself.

It is something that is much needed for this time in my life. As the LORD and I embark on the greatest venture ever. To show me that there will be days that I feel depressed, downtrodden, and defeated. But as the LORD spoke in my spirit, when we are given an assignment, He gives us an arsenal. Everything that is needed to be successful. As I say often, It is not about you or me.
The race does not go to the swift but the one who endures to the end. Profound!!!

I will reap the coals that glorify God and that brings about a desired end.

An Addendum

Albeit, as I listened further to the video, I received the fact that when someone or something is grieving me, it is that the Holy Spirit is also grieved.

As I have said before, "God gets tired too"!!! But it is still up to me to handle the matter appropriately. Without judgment. Allowing God's discernment to say, when to move on.

God Will Validate and Verify!!!

God Will Validate and Verify!!! But before I go on, I must take accountability for the thing that I said. Being corrected, I need to apologize. Before listening to Celestial of “The Master’s Voice Prophecy Blog” recently, I stated that I could not even listen to someone that attempts to come to me with any depiction of Jesus, particularly Sallman's version of the "Head of Christ". But credit must be given, that part of the European nations' legacy is the fact that they, regardless of intent, were willing to take the gospel all over the world, "enlightening countless others". She confirmed what bothers me most, and that is that we don't take the time to study the Word and know Him for ourselves. As she affirmed it with this statement, "The Gospel has to be separated from its historical past. Using Jesus as a coverup for colonization, oppression, or for anything else, does not negate the fact that truth is truth and that Jesus is Jesus...". I a...

God's Laws Remain Very Relevant!!!

God's Laws Remain Very Relevant!!! As we enter chapter 6 in the Book of Deuteronomy, there is a continued focus on God’s laws. I am led by the Spirit to point out a couple of things before we proceed, as many would think that sin is justified as long as we “repent”. “For whoever keeps the whole Law but stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of [breaking] all of it. For He who said, ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ also said, DO NOT MURDER.’ Now if you do not commit adultery, but you murder, you have become guilty of transgressing the [entire] Law” (James 2: 10-11, AMP). “What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow? Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer? Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We have therefore been buried with Him through baptism into dea...

The Wisdom of God's Laws!!!

The Wisdom of God's Laws!!! As I listen to the diatribe of men and women in leadership, the psychopathic, recalcitrant behaviors, I notice that there is a severe break in perception. Psychosis is pervading the minds of many. And the truly frightening thing is that it is becoming the "normal" state of being. A “trickle-down effect” being effectively spewed to the masses. The Holy Spirit had me to do some research as He was confirming to me that this is of Him. Educating me that racism is one type or form of psychosis. Discussions were held in the past to classify this type of ideology as a mental health disorder. Why do you think that it never happened? As we continue I want to touch on one of the most egregious forms of idolatry. The most popular depiction of Jesus Christ by Warner Sallman, “The Head of Christ”. Through a partnership with two publishing companies. One Protestant and the other Catholic. Along with other portraits combining “gods” and pagans. All wit...
