Understanding Peace and Joy

I am led to write this as I was watching Minister Cassandra Mack. She was teaching on the subject of not letting anyone take you out of character and off course of the mission that our Father has for you. The main scripture of reference that she spoke from was Matthew 7: 6, "Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine...

Consequently, it led me to reflect on having that peace and joy on a level that is so powerful that it must be cherished, nurtured, and protected. Ruminative of why God had allowed me to experience it. Knowing that I am one of a few if any who has felt this jubilation.

This was not sporadic, nor was it based on innate and extrinsic, or even superficial circumstances. It was truly supernatural and constant over a prolonged period of time.

A Sudden Transformation

I don't remember how it came about but what I can tell you is that it was a very deeply depressing time for me, with daunting undertones. I kept His Word at my side. Till this day, after months of mental torment, I still don't know why He allowed me to savor this precious gift. I literally woke up one day and it was a different feeling, that left me energized, where I looked forward to getting up every day. I was filled with tenderness. An agape love. It was surreal.

Conversely, Pastor RC Blakes, Jr. recently quoted Job 14: 1, "Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. His next statement spoke volumes as to our perception, "Is this a problem or an opportunity?"

The Holy Spirit was showing me that it exists and is attainable. Even in the midst of trials and tribulations. He wants to take us to this unobtainable place. This abode is a perfect representation of His love for us.

A Zeal for the Lord

Yet I am humbled by his grace and more focused on the need to commune with him every day. My spirit is at the point that I have to be near Him, feel His Spirit, taking deep breaths to soak in His awe and everlasting presence. It is becoming a fiery zeal and I am thankful that He chose me.

Therefore, by his mercy, I am aware that the time is coming. I am a chosen vessel to share this gift with those whom He gives me.

Because of the ease in which it can be forfeited, and I can attest to this, God is circumspect. As he has told me many times before, "Many are called, but few are chosen. He is ordering my steps and I will not take this or His presence lightly, for to whom much is given, much is required.

Furthermore, this has been manifested in what I perceived as the drastic consequences that could have been if I were not obedient in just the last dew days alone.

In addition to being scared, I am also excited to share this opportunity. Knowing that when He calls us He will give provisions to ensure that we are triumphant. For we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who loves us!!!

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...
