I Knew You Were There

In the morning I woke to meditate and commune with the Holy Spirit. I wanted to clear my mind and focus on His voice.

Albeit images and past memories came to my intellect that I haven't thought of in years. Traumas that I forgot about. People who hated me (even while feigning friendship) and abused me. Those who manipulated and deceived me.

Consequently, I remember the times that I felt embarrassed and humiliated in life. Bad decisions that I made and unsavory people that I allowed into my life.

Being overwhelmed, I am crying as I write this. Even though I almost allowed myself to think that I was too good for most of them. But I was given the stark realization that I was often lonely and just looking for someone to care, while ignoring the obvious. These relationships were ungodly, and I was just as much at fault.

You Choose how to Respond or React

Even so, I made choices to avenge myself against others reciprocating the same maltreatment. Tit for tat. Justifying myself, knowing that it was wrong because the situations only became more toxic. It was not who I was created to be.

With all the hurt, God spoke to me and said, "Hurt people hurt people". I cried because the child in me asked Him, "Why did you allow this?" I came to the understanding that He was always there. Confirming when He told me this a few weeks ago.

Even then I had been keenly aware of His presence. I thought about how I had prayed to him to take away my caring heart because I was tired of being used and abused. (I was much younger, a child, and have regretted the outcomes of what I had asked for.)

Many times, my life was spared, literally. It hurts!!! Thinking about these things, made me aware of why we are set apart as peculiar. And the importance of maintaining empathy. To not try to force ungodly people and situations, allowing them reign over our lives.

I am Loved

I forgot how devastating it was for me to be rejected, to be made to feel less than. The foolish manner that I allowed myself to be used in immoral and sexual situations. It is an eye opener. A reminder that I am no better than anyone else.

It is clear that Jesus loves me as I am and has accepted me in spite of everything and wants to have an intimate relationship with me.

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Omniscient and ever present.

It is painful and it is cleansing. Even though it hurts so much. I am humbled. I am loved. Still crying, but again, I am loved, and I love me.

I overcame!!!

The Covenant Keeper!!!

The Covenant Keeper!!! It is clear to me that we are to trust God and not men. I want to make it clear as spiritual warfare is being ramped up. And why I needed to be reminded of the above as I expound on this as it permeates the earth. Even more grievously in health care. “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6: 16-19, KJV). As you meditate on this, ask God to reveal the “wicked imaginations” such as putting a pig's heart in a man. The “proud look” (the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others, AMPLIFIED). Such as those who deem themselves “gods”. That they should be able to choose who lives or dies. The sowing of discord. The constant workplace bullying, harassment, and hostile...

No Bullying Allowed!!!

No Bullying Allowed!!! Please understand that boundaries were not only set for Israel, but for all the nations of the earth. They were meant to be honored and not transgressed upon. God is just. He did not allow looting unless the iniquity of a nation was full and they were being judged by Him. It was only then that even the Israelites were allowed to take the spoil. Greed is not in His character. It is not necessary. “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the fields are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 50: 10-12, KJV). This is the lesson that was given so the Israelites would know how these same “giants” and great nations were conquered by their ancestors in the past. Pay attention as we go back to how Abraham saved Lot from Chedorlaomer and three other kings with their armies, who had just defeated fiv...

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...
