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...

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!!

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!! People say that they love their family and friends and believe that it gives them the right to overlook evil. That they should hold themselves higher than God Himself by saying, “I absolve you of your sin”. Who would ignore the Holy Scriptures because they feel sorry for them and because they themselves are full of transgression. So that while they overlook wrongdoing in others, the same should be done unto them. I spoke to my daughter, that my children will say, I love my brothers and sisters, but you don’t love each other enough to warn them of impending judgment. A judgment that has two outcomes. Darkness and torment in a lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels, where the worm dieth not. Where you have been given a new body that will withstand torment that only God can inflict, that will never be utterly destroyed. A horror that lasts forever. Or the reassurance given by God Himself. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor e...

Spiritual Deafness is Increasing!!!

Spiritual Deafness is Increasing!!! “These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: and ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place” (Deuteronomy 12: 1-3, KJV). While reading this, the LORD is instilling in me the understanding that we should have a zeal for Him above all things. Every idol in our lives, including man, woman, or child should be thrust down. Unhealthy relationships and mindsets cast out. The need to be worshipped. Greed, covetousness, and gluttony. The increasing pride, lust, sexual immorality. DISOBEDIENCE, and...
