I was looking through one of my notebooks today and an entry from 2011 stood out; It was as if I was hearing it again for the first time. "Do you notice that when you are in my will or presence you don't ask for trivial things; this is the "You have not because you ask not"; at these times if you ask for what is in your spirit you will receive."
I STOPPED PARTICIPATING IN HALLOWEEN SOME YEARS AGO. MY TWO OLDER SON'S WERE VERY LITTLE. I WASN'T IN CHURCH BUT SOMETHING ABOUT A HOLIDAY BEING WICKED ENOUGH THAT I HAD TO CHECK CANDY TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE DIDN'T PUT SOMETHING IN MY CHILD'S CANDY THAT COULD HURT THEM OR TAKE THEIR LIVES DIDN'T SIT RIGHT WITH ME AND I DECIDED THAT I DIDN'T WANT ANY PART OF IT. THIS YEAR THE SPIRITUAL ACTIVITY AROUND THIS SEASON WAS VERY STRONG. I HAVE FELT WEIGHED DOWN ALL WEEK AND THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH GOING ON IN THE AREA I LIVE IN BUT ONE THING REMAINS CERTAIN JESUS IS LORD AND GOD IS IN FULL CONTROL!
