Who Are You in Covenant With?!!

 

Who Are You in Covenant With?!!

So, here are two definitions of sensuous:
1) A total devotion to gratifying bodily appetites, often characterized as a sin of the flesh. It is associated with unrestrained, indulgent, and shameless behavior, that disregards moral limits, often translated from the Greek aselgeia (licentiousness/lasciviousness) which signifies lewdness and lack of self-control.

And 2) A life governed by base, fleshly desires, physical senses, or unbridled lust rather than the Holy Spirit. It is associated with selfishness, debauchery, and wantonness. Often listed alongside sins like sexual impurity and envy. Sensual is also derived from the Greek word psychikos (natural/unspiritual). Again, psychikos interpreted as natural and unspiritual.

“‘And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, ‘Come out of her, my people, so that you will not be partner in her sins and receive her plagues; for her sins (crimes, transgressions) have piled up as high to heaven, and God has remembered her wickedness and crimes [for judgment]. (Even those partakers who justify wickedness, calling good evil and evil good.) Repay to her even as she has repaid others, and pay back [to her] double [her torment] in accordance with what she has done; in the cup [of sin and suffering] which she mixed, mix a double portion [of perfect justice] for her.’

I will never be able to stomach what my Dad sees every day. But it is important that we actively pursue His truth and justice. Asking Him for favor and to put us in a powerful position to be intercessors on behalf of the innocent. As we pray for the downfall of the wicked. I pray that they are revealed and destroyed swiftly. Realize that none of us deserve to live, the connotation of “filthy rags” does not describe our depravity and sinfulness.

I have been watching “Jay for Jesus”. A mighty prayer warrior for the LORD and sister in Christ. It is beneficial for me as I am praying for God’s grace as an advocate for the LORD. Her prayers are pure fire. Eloquently guided by the Holy Spirit. As it is written, she is hiding His Word in her heart that she may not sin against Him. Her prayer life is powerful. While I was being convicted by Celestial, the prophet of the Most High, that we are not doing enough!

As I have been engaging with Jay’s platform, I have begun to recognize what has been evident in my walk with my Heavenly Father. I pray according to the Spirit often, and my prayers are answered immediately. Usually in just a sentence or two. And relatively short. And I fast often. But the Holy Spirit has been impressing upon me, that some things goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. On a deeper level.

You see when Jesus prayed, many times He did not even touch the person or people. It is commanded for a reason. “Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partakers of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure” (1 Timothy 5: 22, KJV). His Words were few but His prayers were powerful. But there is a time, and there are times, when we are told to press in. To go higher in the Almighty Father.

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...

The Power of Prayer!!!

  The Power of Prayer!!! This evening, I found out that someone that I cared for on many occasions had died. It broke my heart because she was critically injured during an altercation, and no one said anything to me about it until it was too late. She hung on for a few days after but succumbed to her injury. The LORD spoke to my spirit that she was given time to allow someone the opportunity to intercede for her. It is what hurt me more than anything. In the past I remember two performers, Gregory Hines and Luther Vandross who were sick around the same time. The former whose illness was kept a secret, and the latter, who had loved ones ask the public to pray for him. Luther Vandross recovered and survived for two more years while Gregory Hines died in the self-same year of 2003. And as both of these individuals were being discussed, it was made clear that this was the result of the power of prayer. And I never forgot this because I knew that this was of God. Death is final. And if ...
