I Choose to be Thankful

I realize that it is expedient that I wake up and spend time with God. There will always be trials and tribulations. If I neglect my spiritual life, I will be like the man who carefully studies himself in the mirror and then once he leaves, he immediately forgets his image.

Additionally, I never realized how profound that scripture is. I woke up and couldn't sleep around 5:00 AM contemplating all of the unfinished and unanswered "problems" that needed to be resolved.

I decided to sit up and with each inhalation I spoke a positive virtue that I am receiving, such as love, peace, and joy. With each exhalation I was releasing negative thoughts, fear, anxiety, even oppression.

After a while I relaxed and was able to go back to sleep. I woke up afterwards, much later than I wanted to, but I was compelled to commune with the Holy Spirit.

Being Led Unawares

As I focused while fighting my flesh, doubting that I could do so, because I would stop meditating to make a phone call or compose an email. I finally realized that the Spirit was leading me because part of my early morning exercise was to verbalize that I will do my part when led. While casting my cares on Him, knowing that he cares for me.

Also resolving in my spirit that afflictions are for strength, and to increase spiritual maturity. I am learning so much in my time with Him, meditating in His Word.

We will always wrestle against principalities and spiritual wickedness, but we must trust in Him. His Word is true.

While lying down I was under mental attack again and kept worrying about the weather for our destination and looking at other literature until I had to tell myself that the Holy Spirit himself gave me permission to go, this is His blessing. I notice that I have an earthly therapist and a Spirit therapist. God cares for my well-being in every way. The enemy fears this.

I am more than a conqueror through Christ who strengthens me!!!

When the LORD Goes Before You!!!

 When the LORD Goes Before You!!! “Know [without any doubt], that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) people. Remember [with remorse] and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. And at Horeb (Sinai) you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9: 4-8, AMP). Many of us focus on Moses' fasting for forty days and forty nights. But he had to go back up for a second time, for forty more days and nights, hewing two tablets of stone himself, as he fasted and prayed for the lives of the Israelites, including his brother Aaron. In God’s mercy they spent forty years in the wilderness, and He was not wrong if He would have condemned them to eighty years. Before we procee...

  When Your Heart is Hardened (Part One)!!! At the very beginning of the plagues, Pharaoh asked Moses and Aaron for a sign, to prove themselves, and God’s sovereignty. Had he taken heed he would have seen the outcome then. “And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods” (Exodus 7: 10-12, KJV). God demonstrated His authority to Pharaoh and is why these plagues were written. To be passed down from generation to generation. It is why those who continue to ask for a sign, condemn themselves to judgment. Revealing the spirit of rebellion. This is by far, the most exhaustive paradigm ever recorded. “A wicked and adulterou...

  Empathy and Mindfulness Are Required!!! The Lord spoke directly to my spirit, "HE CANNOT MOVE"! When He said that I knew that there was nothing else I could say at that moment, that would justify my thoughts and behaviors in the eyes of the Holy Spirit. I was treading into dangerous territory. My God was not pleased. So, if you read or listen to this, understand and appreciate His correction. The tone of the voice of the Spirit was loud and clear. It was plain to me that the conversation had ended. We must understand how easy it is to allow unclean spirits to enter into and manifest in our lives. Read in its entirety at  Benevolent Woman
