The Danger of Someone Who is Asleep

This will be short and to the point.

Listening to a sermon titled, "Are You Ready", brought back to my remembrance something that the Holy Spirit told me a long time ago. At the time, the focus was on infidelity. I was going through a divorce. But the LORD made it very clear that it could pertain to murder, lying, stealing, and every other work.

If someone says that they love, you and you have found out about an egregious behavior, hidden from you. And even after it is revealed they persist in lying or trying to minimize the situation. Then most dubiously, attempt to blame you for their actions. But can sleep soundly. Having done so even before you were cognizant of the circumstances. Then there is a blaringly obvious blatant disregard for your well-being and mental health.

Please Be Aware

This is a savage!!! Your very life could be in peril. Do not deceive yourself by allowing half-truths to be deemed accidental.

Besides saying within yourselves that this loved one did not mean it, and he/she loves me.

Regardless of who they are to you, they despise you. They will tear you down and eradicate you. Nevertheless, what is the most injurious and the most telling, is how their spirit can rest.

The Conviction of the Spirit

Yesterday I reacted to a situation that could have harmed and injured others, including myself. I felt the flutter in my spirit immediately. God spared me but it was an indication, a knowing, "Do NOT tempt me. You know better!"

Afterwards, my spirit was not at rest. I was apologizing profusely to my LORD. And I had no peace for hours.

I felt so bad that I vowed to not let another person's ignorance cause me to step out of character. Albeit I am not perfect, and I need the grace of the Spirit. I felt extremely convicted. It was a feeling of anxiety, unrest, and dread. Because of our intimacy, I hated it. And never wanted to feel that way again.

Pure and Virtuous Love

When you truly love God, man, or woman. And the bond becomes stronger. You will never purposely offend Him or them. Remember, we are made in His image. This is why offenses, including those who bring them, and being easily offended, is a stumbling block to our relationship with Him. Rooted in selfishness, self-seeking, egotism, and introversion are characteristics thar are not of JESUS.

We are not ready to see His face in peace if we refuse to love one another. LOVE answers all things.

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...

Why Jesus Put Away Distractors!!!

Why Jesus Put Away Distractors!!! Many may not believe this, but the atmosphere is a determinant to the outcome for any situation. The Holy Spirit and prayer brings peace and success in all things. Years ago, and even now, I have had many times when I would ask colleagues for help, and they would say “Okay” and then just keep fraternizing with one another as if I wasn’t there. Then the LORD would speak to my spirit, annoyed with their behavior saying, “You don’t need them. We will figure it out together”. And when we accomplished the task, these same nurses would look shocked and appalled. Teamwork is critical in healthcare. Brainstorming, collaboration, and critical thinking is vital. Particularly in emergent situations. But what I have noticed is that many believe that they can damage your esteem or make you feel less than by ignoring your very presence. This may be done throughout a hierarchy. But it only speaks to their psyches. Or they have a compensity to want to make you feel th...

Whole and Healed While communing with the Holy Spirit, I felt the urge to read the story of Joseph. He has always been one of my favorite characters. My spirit is complete as I examined all of Joseph's circumstances. Through many trials and tribulations, the LORD was with him. When Joseph was younger his father kept him near to himself. (His brothers must have felt unloved and neglected at times.) Albeit, as they worked in the fields, Joseph would be sent out to "spy" on his brothers. Directly obeying his father, Israel. As his brothers tended to the tasks that they were sent to execute. (From what is written they lacked character in their youth and as young men. So, they were not trustworthy of their father.) Seemingly, Joseph, being a "goody two-shoes", made sure that Israel was aware of their wrongdoings. The LORD started to reveal Himself to Joseph in dreams. Being immature, he felt it necessary to brag of these dreams to his brothers. Knowing that their f...
