The Abuse Continues

I recently wrote about a form of abuse and want to give some insight into the confirmation given by the Holy Spirit. Acknowledging His timeliness. Reading from 1 Samuel 11:17-24.

I learned on the previous day that no exceptions are being made. The benefits in my contract are being gutted.

Consequently, I spoke with another nurse. Who (without me even asking) disclosed how much she is receiving. Before and after the modifications to her contract.

Feeling frustrated, disappointed, and very angry, I prayed to the LORD to help me healthily process this situation and move on.

Needless to say, the Spirit was letting me know that what He is revealing is truth. It is up to me to act accordingly. Albeit upset while driving home, I expressed my anger and frustration to the LORD.

Differing Standards and Integrity

Moreover, I want to clarify that I am not here to judge. Nevertheless, I am allowed to see how some, if not many, are in the same position as I am. Who feel comfortable doing the bare minimum. Giving with all my being, I am ordained for this. I do this unto God.

Notwithstanding, there is nothing new under the sun. The world protects its own.

There are several messages in this. God reveals secrets to His anointed. Even so, everything that transpires is allowed. God shines His light into the situation that the devil attempts to use to break you down. It is impossible to walk through this thing in darkness. Especially for those who are upright and display moral courage.

The Nature of Man

The fear of man can ensnare your soul. We are disappointed because we expect the same treatment that we mete out. Thus, we are only human. When people show you who they are, it is up to you to use discretion and discernment moving forward. Therefore, look to God. He will never let you down.

The LORD was specific in letting the Israelites know that it is He who saved them. From oppression and their enemies. Yet they wanted a king to reign over them. A mere man. Thereby, rejoicing as God granted their request.

God is sovereign. And we must trust Him. Through it all, He nurtures and allows us to see how He is working. When blinded by emotions, it is easy to ignore His grace.

The Revelation

As I write this, I feel His presence. His peace. His protection. And His love. I am choosing to accept His constancy and immovability over man's instability.

Furthermore, a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Even when this insecurity comes from within.

Glory to God!!!

However, I must mention that this is how Cain killed his brother. The LORD gave him a solution to the emotional turmoil that was building within him. Yet Cain chose to ignore it.

Always coming from a place of love!!!

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...
