Pride and Arrogance Deceives You!!!

“Then the hand was sent from the presence [of the Most High God], and this inscription was written: ‘This is the inscription that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN [numbered, numbered, weighed, and divided].’ This is the interpretation of the message: ‘MENE’—God has numbered the days of your kingdom and put an end to it; ‘TEKEL’—you have been weighed on the scales [of righteousness] and found deficient (wanting, egregiously lacking); ‘PERES’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.’

“Then Belshazzar gave the command, and Daniel was clothed with purple and a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was issued [declaring] that he now had authority as the third ruler in the kingdom. (Here is the swiftness of his judgment, as this king still did not acknowledge God, nor did he repent of his evil.) During the same night Belshazzar the [last] Chaldean king was slain [by troops of the invading army]” (Daniel 5: 23-30, AMP).

As a nation you are warned in Isaiah 47: 8-11, as it is also written in the Book of Revelation. Because this is the cadence, the pride of this country, even in the midst of judgment. (Anyone who says that this is not how a prideful people think and speak, are deliberately ignorant.)

“To the degree that she glorified herself and reveled and gloated in her sensuality [living deliciously and luxuriously], to that same degree impose on her torment and anguish, and mourning and grief; for in her heart she boasts, ‘I SIT AS A QUEEN [on a throne] AND I AM NOT A WIDOW, (says the one, whose leaders are deliberately isolating you, to break and enslave you in preparation for the kings of the east that are coming) and will never, ever see mourning or experience grief.’

“For this reason in a single day her plagues (afflictions, calamities) will come, pestilence and mournings and famine, and she will be burned up with fire and completely consumed (destroyed); for strong and powerful is the LORD God who judges her” (Revelation 18: 7-8, AMP).

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...

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...

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...
