YOU AINT SEEN YOUR BEST DAYS YET...THE BEST IS YET TO COME

DELIVERANCE IS NIGH!

A FRIEND AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT MOSES AND IT LED ME TO READ ABOUT IT IN EXODUS TODAY. I  HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HOW YOU CAN READ THE BIBLE AND FIND SOMETHING NEW AND FRESH NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE READ THE PASSAGE. I NOTICED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT MOSES' MOTHER AND FATHER WERE FROM THE HOUSE OF LEVI. I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT LINEAGE IS. I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT WHEN YOU COME INTO A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD YOU ARE ADOPTED INTO HIS LINEAGE AND BECOME AN HEIR TO HIM AN HIS PROMISES. I REFLECTED ON HOW GOOD GOD WAS TO ALLOW MOSES' MOTHER TO BE HIS NURSE. HOW SHE WAS ACTUALLY PAID TO TAKE CARE OF HER CHILD. I ALSO NOTICED THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN GOD AND MOSES WHEN MOSES TALKED ABOUT HOW HIS SPEECH WAS NOT ELOQUENT:

EXODUS 4
10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent,^a neither heretofore , nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath mademan's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
12 Now therefore go , and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say .
   13 And he said , O my Lord, send , I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send .
   14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said , Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well . And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do .  
16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
IT SOUNDED AS IF GOD WAS TRYING TO TELL MOSES THAT HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF HIS SPEECH IMPEDIMENT BUT MOSES COULD NOT RECEIVE IT.
THIS SCRIPTURE IS SO TIMELY TO MY LIFE AND MANY MORE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. THE ENEMY DOES NOT WANT TO LET US GO AND SINCE HE WILL NOT LET US GO GOD IS GOING TO BE THE JUDGE AND WE WILL RECIEVE FREEDOM BY HIS STRONG HAND.

EXODUS 14
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still , and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again  no more for ever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace .  
I ALSO HEARD TODAY HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART
8. Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said , It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

SING!

I know why the caged bird sings by Maya Angelou  

A free bird leaps on the back

Of the wind and floats downstream

Till the current ends and dips his wing

In the orange suns rays

And dares to claim the sky.


But a BIRD that stalks down his narrow cage

Can seldom see through his bars of rage

His wings are clipped and his feet are tied

So he opens his throat to sing.


The caged bird sings with a fearful trill

Of things unknown but longed for still

And his tune is heard on the distant hill for

The caged bird sings of freedom.


The free bird thinks of another breeze

And the trade winds soft through

The sighing trees

And the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright

Lawn and he names the sky his own.


But a caged BIRD stands on the grave of dreams

His shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

His wings are clipped and his feet are tied

So he opens his throat to sing.


The caged bird sings with

A fearful trill of things unknown

But longed for still and his

Tune is heard on the distant hill

For the caged bird sings of freedom.

GOD TOLD ME TODAY THAT NOW WAS NOT THE TIME TO BE SILENT.THE CAGED  BIRD SINGS BECAUSE IT IS STILL A BIRD. SO OFTEN WHEN FACED WITH OPPOSITION WE BECOME IMMOBILE. WE STOP MOVING AND FUCTIONING IN THE GIFTINGS AND OFFICES THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US WHEN THE GIFTING AND THE AUTHORITY OF THE OFFICE ARE THE VERY THINGS THAT WILL SET US FREE. IF YOU ARE A PROPHET...PROPHESY; IF YOU ARE A WORSHIPER (AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE BUT SOME ARE ANOINTED ESPECIALLY FOR WORSHIP)...WORSHIP...IF YOU ARE A TEACHER...TEACH...TEACH YOURSELF THROUGH STUDY UNTIL GOD OPENS THE DOOR IF NEED BE. WHATEVER YOU DO, KEEP MOVING. GOD BLESS YOU. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE FINISH. WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE GLORY OF THE LORD POURED OUT UPON THE EARTH!



ACTS 16
25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed , and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken : and immediately all the doors were opened , and every one's bands were loosed .  

MATTHEW 16
16 And Simon Peter answered and said , Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
 
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou , Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.



DURING VARIOUS HARD TIMES IN MY LIFE I WOULD ASK GOD FOR SIGNS TO SHOW ME HE HEARD ME; SIGNS TO SHOW ME HE WAS THERE...DURING ONE SPAN OF TIME IT WAS A FISH JUMPING OUT OF THE WATER...THEN IT WAS RED BIRDS...ONE PERIOD OF TIME THERE WOULD BE A RED BIRD THAT WOULD COME TO MY HOUSE EVERYDAY. IT WOULD COME IN THE FRONT YARD ON THE PAVEMENT AND IN THE BACKYARD; IT WOULD COME SO CLOSE THAT PEOPLE VISITING WOULD NOTICE AND SAY THINGS LIKE "LOOK HOW CLOSE HE IS; HE'S JUST SITTING THERE". IT WAS SO COMFORTING.. WHEN I WOULD SEE IT I WOULD SAY "HELLO, LORD...I LOVE YOU TOO..." NOW IT IS RED AND BLUE BIRDS. YESTERDAY GOD TOLD ME TO LOOK FOR RED BIRDS I  REMEMBER SEEING ONE. TODAY AS I WALKED IN THE RAIN WITH MY UMBRELLA AND I SAW A RED BIRD FLY ACROSS A YARD AS I WALKED BY I SAID "LORD I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING A LOT OF RED BIRDS YESTERDAY" AND IT WAS AS IF MY SPIRIT SAID "YOU STOPPED LOOKING". LOOK FOR GOD. SEEK HIM AND YOU WILL FIND HIM.
I LOVE YOU AS GOD LOVES YOU.

JESUS LIVES!

UPROOTED

TODAY I WENT TO THE DENTIST TO HAVE TWO WISDOM TEETH PULLED. EARLIER THIS WEEK I HAD MULTIPLE PANIC ATTACKS. GOD TOLD TO ME TO KEEP MY DENTAL APPOINTMENT, WHICH WAS LIKE HIM SAYING DON'T BE DISTRACTED. I WENT AND THE DENTIST HAD A HARD TIME GETTING ONE OF THE TEETH OUT. WHEN THEY SHOWED IT TO ME I WAS LIKE" ISN'T THAT KIND OF BIG?" THE ASSISTANT RESPONDED "YEAH IT'S ABNORMALLY BIG". I THOUGHT OF THE PARALLEL IN THE SPIRIT; HOW THINGS THAT NEED TO GO TRY TO PLANT THEIR ROOTS DEEPER. I DECREE AND DECLARE THAT EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE AND YOURS THAT HAS PLANTED ITSELF AND IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE THERE WILL BE UPROOTED! EVERY SICKNESS...UPROOTED, EVERY UNGODLY RELATIONSHIP... UPROOTED, EVERY TACTIC THAT THE ENEMY HAS TRIED TO USE AGAINST US...UPROOTED IN THE NAME OF JESUS  AND THE SPACE OCCUPIED BY GOD'S LOVE!

MATTHEW 15:13
But he answered and said , Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted , shall be rooted up .

 

Ephesians 3:17 KJV

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Bend It Till It Breaks

Today as I was thinking on some things that I have been waiting to be released; God told me to bend it till it breaks. So often we as believers pray and then stop. Sometimes we have to keep dealing blows through prayer in order to win the battle. I talked to my cousin and told her what I felt God was revealing to me and she said that she had been thinking on something very similar today; on how she will get close to the finish and then walk away. At various times in my life I just got so tired of always fighting but after being through all the hell I have been through I refuse to give up now; I'm going to get all that God has for me.

Isaiah 58   
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen ? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward .  
9 Then shalt thou call , and the LORD shall answer ; thou shalt cry , and he shall say , Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.  
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called , The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in .  

ISAIAH 56

1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come , and my righteousness to be revealed .
2Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak , saying , The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say , Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off .
   6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people

DELIVERANCE IS NIGH; HOLD FAST, STICK TO GOD'S INSTRUCTION

MY PASTOR DISCUSSED THE DEAD PIGS FOUND IN THE WATER IN CHINA. IT WAS THE FIRST I HAD HEARD OF IT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE SAID IT I WAS REMINDED OF MATTHEW EIGHT WHEN THE DEMONS IN TWO MEN ASKED IF JESUS WOULD LET THEM GO INTO A HERD OF SWINE AND THE SWINE WENT INTO THE WATER AND DROWNED. I FEEL THAT WE ARE FAST APPROACHING A TIME OF DELIVERANCE AND WHEN GOD DELIVERS US THIS TIME IT WILL BE THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER. IF YOU NEED TO BE DELIVERED FROM SICKNESS, POVERTY, OPPRESSION, WHATEVER! TAKE HOPE IN THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS WELL ABLE AND HE WILL COME AND WILL NOT TARRY. HOLD ON AND BE OBEDIENT TO THE VOICE OF GOD. IF GOD HAS GIVEN YOU INSTRUCTION THEN STICK TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. IN 1 KINGS 13 THERE IS A STORY THAT HAS ALWAYS BOTHERED ME. IT IS ABOUT A PROPHET THAT GOD GAVE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO. HE WAS TO DELIVER THE WORD OF GOD AND NOT EAT, OR DRINK, OR GO BACK THE WAY HE CAME. A PROPHET LIED AND SAID THAT AN ANGEL OF THE LORD SPOKE TO HIM AND TOLD HIM THAT THE LORD SAID FOR HIM TO BRING HIM TO HIS HOUSE SO HE COULD EAT AND DRINK. BECAUSE THE PROPHET DISOBEYED GOD A LION KILLED HIM. THE SAME PROPHET THAT LIED TO HIM CAUSING HIM TO BE DISOBEDIENT PROPHESIED THAT HE WOULD MEET HIS DEATH WHILE HE WAS STILL AT THE TABLE (ISN'T THAT SOMETHING!). I HAVE ALWAYS WANDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PROPHET THAT LIED. I GUESS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON IS OBEYING GOD AND WHAT HE SAID NO MATTER HOW CONVINCING THE DISTRACTION.

Luke 4:18 KJV 

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted , to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised ,

Habakkuk 2:3 KJV

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak , and not lie : though it tarry , wait for it; because it will surely come , it will not tarry .

 

Power in Numbers

I went on a prayer walk with a local church this morning. I can't explain how right it felt. We prayed and then walked around a neighborhood praying and singing; it was beautiful. At first I was concerned wandering if it would be awkward because it was not my church but it was so natural. That is how the body of Christ is suppose to be. We are all one body jointly fit. Years ago it was prophesied that I would help unify the area I am from and today I believe that prophesy was pinpoint accurate.At one point we passed someone's house and he shushed his dog and bowed his head as we prayed; one of the pastors asked if they could pray with the man and asked if he knew God afterward, serveral eyes were filled with tears...this is what its all about souls; healing, deliverance!  My spirit rejoiced to see people from different churches flowing together for the work of the kingdom. I am looking forward to more prayer walks, rallies, concerts, Christian sports teams, and so much more. Can you imagine what would happen if the body of Christ would unify?


Ephesians 4
1.I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called ,

2. With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3.Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 .There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5.One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6.One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7.But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8.Wherefore he saith , When he ascended up on high, he led captivitycaptive, and gave gifts unto men
9 .(Now that he ascended , what is itbut that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10.
He that descendedis the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)   
11.And he gavesome, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12.For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13.Till we all comein the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14.That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro , and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness , whereby they lie in wait to deceive
15.But speaking the truth in love, may grow upinto him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16.From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part , make the increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH

TODAY'S MESSAGE IN CHURCH WAS REALLY ON TIME.  I SHARED THAT I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ANXIETY AND SINCE THAT POST, IT HAS GOTTEN A LOT BETTER. I SLEEP AT NIGHT (SOUNDLY) NOW. BUT I STILL HAVE ANXIETY ATTACKS AT TIMES. I KNEW THAT THE ANXIETY WAS A RESULT OF FEAR AND THAT FEAR HAD BEEN THERE SINCE CHILDHOOD. I TALKED TO SOMEONE EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THEY ASKED ME WHERE I THINK IT CAME FROM. I HAD TO BE HONEST AND SAY THAT ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE GOD FOR EVERYONE ELSE SOMETIMES I HAVE ISSUES BELIEVING GOD FOR ME. THE PERSON I SPOKE TO GAVE ME SOME GODLY ADVICE. THEY SAID WHEN I FELT AN ATTACK COMING ON TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT OR QUOTE THE WORD OF GOD; I ALSO WROTE A PROFESSION BASED ON SCRIPTURE. IN CHURCH TODAY THE MESSAGE WAS ABOUT FAITH AND UNBELIEF AND IT WAS SO RELEVANT TO WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH. IT WAS RELEVANT TO THE BODY OF CHRIST PERIOD. IN THIS TIME OF TESTING WE MUST MAKE SURE WE HOLD FAST TO OUR FAITH AND CAST DOWN EVERY THOUGHT THAT EXALTS ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.

2 CORINTHIANS 10
3.For though we walki n the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ

EGYPT IS IN RUINS...KEEP MOVING AHEAD.

I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT THAT I WENT TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE WITH MY CHILDREN AND AS I LOOKED UP AT THE SKY THE CLOUDS WERE ROLLING. I KNEW A STORM WAS COMING AND FAST SO I TOLD MY CHILDREN TO GET DOWN IN THE CAR AND WE GOT AS LOW AS WE COULD. WHEN THE STORM HAD PASSED THE CAR WAS GUTTED; IT WAS JUST A FRAME BUT WE WERE OKAY. I DROVE MY FATHER'S OLD TRUCK TO MY HOME AND THE CHILDREN AND I BEGAN TO GET OUT AND HEAD BACK INTO MY HOUSE. I WOKE UP AND I WAS LIKE LORD WHAT WAS THAT?...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. GOD TOLD ME TO LOOK OVER THE DREAM. MY FATHER'S HOUSE IS WHERE I USED TO LIVE. WHEN I LEFT; I LEFT BECAUSE GOD TOLD ME TO LEAVE AND I LEFT WITH URGENCY. NO MATTER LIFE'S STORMS WE CAN FIND SAFETY IN GOD. IF WE COME BEFORE HIM IN HUMILITY THERE IS NO SAFER PLACE; NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON OUTSIDE. IF GOD DELIVERED YOU FROM SOMETHING DON'T GO BACK TO IT; STAY DELIVERED. THERE ARE SOMETHINGS I STILL WANT, THAT I SHOULDN'T WANT BUT IF IT WILL LEAVE MY LIFE LOOKING LIKE THE AFTERMATH OF A GREAT AND TERRIBLE STORM; I'LL PASS. RESIST TEMPTATION.


I LIKE TO USE SCRIPTURE WHILE BLOGGING. I LOOKED FOR A SCRIPTURE ABOUT STORMS AND I CHOSE THIS ONE BECAUSE GOD LED ME TO READ LEVITICUS 10 THIS MORNING WHICH TALKS ABOUT STRANGE FIRE 

ISAIAH 29

1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt ! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. 4 And thou shalt be brought down , and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away : yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

THIS IS THE GENERATION

This morning I went to the laundromat to wash. All day long I kept smelling  a scent that smelled like freshly washed laundry and I knew it was significant.



PSALM 51

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.<br>
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned , and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest , and be clear when thou judgest . 
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know
wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice .
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee

Ephesians 5:26,27

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish

 

 

 

UNITY

TODAY MY MOM PRAYED FOR ME. I AM 35 YEARS OLD AND I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER HEARD MY MOM PRAY. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ANXIETY. I  TAKE THE MEDICINE I WAS GIVEN AT NIGHT TO RELAX ENOUGH TO SLEEP. FOR A FEW DAYS NOW I HAVE BEEN CRYING AND CRYING. I HAD STUFFED SO MANY THINGS DOWN TRYING TO BE STRONG THAT IT HAD BECOME OVERWHELMING. GOD TOLD ME TODAY THAT THE DEVIL DIDN'T WANT ME TO KNOW HOW MUCH HE (GOD) LOVES ME. I THOUGHT ON THAT; ALL THE ATTACKS; ALL THE HURT WERE JUST SEEDS THAT GREW INTO FEAR; THAT EVENTUALLY BEGAN TO AFFECT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BECAUSE THEY CAUSED ME TO QUESTION HOW HE FELT ABOUT ME. MY MOM HAS A HARD TIME SHOWING AFFECTION AND THE DEVIL REALLY USED THAT AGAINST ME DURING MY CHILDHOOD, AS I GOT OLDER I REALIZED THAT JUST ABOUT ALL THE WOMEN IN MY FAMILY HAVE A HARD TIME SHOWING AFFECTION AND JUST ABOUT EVERY WOMAN DOES NOT LIKE PEOPLE TO SEE THEM HURT...WE WANT TO BE STRONG. SOMETIMES YOU JUST AREN'T STRONG; SOMETIMES YOU NEED SUPPORT. I WATCHED MY MOM WATCHING ME AND I SAW THE LOVE IN HER EYES. I THEN THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE TRICKS OF THE ENEMY TO DIVIDE. TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL UNLOVED; UNWANTED, TO DIVIDE THEN CONQUER.  I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW WHEN YOU ARE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE YOU CAN FEEL WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THEM, HOW GOD WILL TELL YOU TO PRAY FOR THEM ETC. BUT WHEN THERE HAS BEEN A BREACH FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU AREN'T THERE FOR THAT PERSON LIKE YOU NEED TO BE. GOD TOLD ME A WHILE AGO HE WAS SEPARATING THE WHEAT FROM THE TARE. I THINK HE MEANT LIGHT FROM DARK. THE BODY OF CHRIST IS THE BODY OF CHRIST.THE ENEMY HAS REALLY BEEN ATTACKING THE BODY; I PRAY THAT WE BAND TOGETHER.

TRUE REPENTANCE

I WATCHED A MOVIE LAST NIGHT ABOUT A GROUP OF YOUNG ADULTS PUTTING ON A YOUTH REVIVAL. A LOT OF THE YOUNG ADULTS WERE LEADING DOUBLE LIVES...BEING PART-TIME CHRISTIANS. I AM SETTLED ENOUGH IN MY MATURITY AS A PERSON AND A CHRISTIAN NOT TO DO ALOT OF THE THINGS THAT I USED TO DO BUT GOD TOLD ME I COULD NO LONGER DO ANY OF THE THINGS I USED TO DO, THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DOING (LITTLE FOXES). GOD TALKED TO ME ABOUT HOW PEOPLE GET SO WRAPPED UP IN THIER LIVES THAT THEY FORGET THE REAL PURPOSE OF THIS LIFE...TO GATHER AS MANY SOULS THAT WE CAN TO BE SAVED. GOD ALSO TOLD ME THAT NOW WAS A TIME TO BE PRODUCTIVE EVEN THOUGH I FELT THAT I HAD BEEN IN A PLACE OF BARRENESS THAT I WAS IN A HURRY TO LEAVE.HE SAID THAT IN THIS PLACE I WOULD BE STRENGTHENED AND WHILE I AM HERE TO YIELD FRUIT,TO TEND TO MY GARDEN. I WENT TO THE WATER THIS MORNING AND IT BROUGHT ME TO A PLACE OF REPENTANCE. IF I HAD BEEN IN THE LORD AS I SHOULD HAVE I WOULD HAVE AVOIDED A LOT OF THE THINGS I AM DEALING WITH. I TOLD THE LORD HOW SORRY I WAS. I AM CHANGING MY FOCUS AND PLACING GOD FIRST AGAIN AS HE ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN.


Mark 12:30 KJV
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

PSALM 18

19. HE BROUGHT ME FORTH ALSO INTO A LARGE PLACE; HE DELIVERED ME,BECAUSE HE DELIGHTED IN ME.

SEED TIME

GOD HAS REALLY BEEN DEALING WITH ME ABOUT SPENDING TIME WITH HIM. I HAVE HEARD THE TEACHING THAT YOU SHOULD SOW WHAT YOU WANT; AND HOW SINCE THERE ARE TWENTY FOUR HOURS IN THE DAY YOU SHOULD BE SEEDING AT LEAST TWO HOURS AND FOURTY MINUTES. HOW MANY PEOPLE REALLY DO THAT? DAILY LIFE CAN BE HECTIC, BUT IF A DAY GOES BY AND WE HAVEN'T DONE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING; WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT HOW WE SPENT OUR DAY? I'M GOING TO MAKE A SINCERE EFFORT TO GIVE GOD A WORTHY SACRIFICE OF TIME.

Galatians 6:7 KJV
Be not deceived ; God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth , that shall he also reap ,,,,

RECONNECTION

TODAY IN CHURCH I SAW A VISION OF TWO DAMS AND GOD SAID THAT HE IS CONNECTING THE WATERS. I HAVEN'T HAD A VISION IN A WHILE; I WAS IN A DRY PLACE BUT GOD TOLD ME THAT I HAD LET CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECT ME AND I BLOCKED HIM OUT. ISN'T THAT SOMETHING, HERE I AM SEEKING AND WANDERING WHY MY WORSHIP WASN'T THE SAME AND I HADN'T HAD VISIONS LIKE I NORMALY DO AND I HAD UNCONSCIOUSLY BLOCKED GOD ALMIGHTY OUT. I LET DOUBT CREEP IN AND IT AFFECTED MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. GOD TOLD ME TODAY THAT HE WOULD LET NOTHING KEEP ME FROM HIM AGAIN; HALLELUJAH. I LOVE YOU LORD AND I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE.

SORRY

I JUST SAW THE ADVERTISEMENT THAT CAME WITH ONE OF THE WIDGETS ON MY PAGE SORRY...IT HAS BEEN DELETED.

A MADE UP RENEWED MIND...WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE

THERE IS SO MUCH THAT I WANT TO GET OUT IN THIS POST SO FORGIVE ME AHEAD OF TIME IF I RAMBLE. LAST YEAR GOD CHALLENGED ME TO PUT TOGETHER A PUZZLE; THIS SEEMS SIMPLE BUT I HAD NEVER BEEN ABLE TO PUT A PUZZLE TOGETHER; NOT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY BUT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE PATIENCE. I STARTED WITH A 100 PIECE PUZZLE...I HAD TO CALM MYSELF BEFORE I STARTED AND THEN I PUT IT TOGETHER. THIS YEAR GOD HAS BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER THE PUZZLE OF MY LIFE. I HAD A FEW HEALTH SCARES (AND I DO MEAN SCARES); AND THEY LED TO ME DISCOVERING A FEW THINGS ABOUT MYSELF. YEARS AGO A PASTOR PRAYED FOR ME AND PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD BALANCE MY SERATONIN LEVELS. I'M NO DOCTOR BUT I KNEW THAT SERATONIN WAS A CHEMICAL PRODUCED BY THE BRAIN. I WENT ON AND EVENTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE PRAYER. AS REVEALED IN EARLIER POSTS I WAS AROUND THRIRTEEN WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BELLS PALSEY AND I REMEMBER THE DOCTOR STATING PEOPLE YOUR AGE REALLY DON'T GET THIS. YEARS LATER AS AN ADULT A DOCTOR TOLD ME I HAD A NERVOUS TWITCH AND IT WAS SOMETHING HE DID NOT SEE IN PEOPLE AS YOUNG AS I WAS. THE ABOVE WAS JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND; ITS TIME TO GO DEEPER. I TOLD MY TESTIMONY IN ONE OF MY EARLIEST POSTS. I TOLD HOW I HAD COME INTO CONTACT WITH A WARLOCK POSING AS A PREACHER. I ALSO TOLD HOW I WOULD GO HOME AND FEEL HIS PRESENCE IN MY HOUSE BUT I WOULDN'T TELL ANYONE BECAUSE I KNEW HOW CRAZY IT SOUNDED SO I JUST SORT OF ACCEPTED BEING TERRORIZED (I HAVE HEARD OF ONE BUT I'M SURE ITS MORE THAN ONE PERSON HE DID THIS TO THAT ENDED UP IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION). ONE DAY I CAME INTO CONTACT WITH A GODLY PASTOR WHO BEGAN TO PROPHESY. SHE TOLD ME THAT I HAD COME INTO CONTACT WITH SOMEONE AND IT WAS AS IF THEY WERE HAUNTING ME...I SCREAMED. WHAT A RELIEF IT WAS THAT SOMEONE KNEW. GOD TOLD ME I COULD TRUST HER (GOD HAS NEVER TOLD ME I COULD TRUST SOMEONE, AND I HAVE HAD TRUST ISSUES). I BEGAN TO TELL HER ABOUT IT... IT WAS TRULY A MOVE OF GOD; I WOULD REVEAL SOME AND SHE WOULD PROPHESY SOME...GOD THROUGH HER BEGAN TO LOOSE THIS MAN'S HOLD ON ME. ABOUT A FEW WEEKS AGO I STARTED HAVING ISSUES IN MY HEALTH; I HATE GOING TO DOCTORS BUT I FOUND MYSELF RUNNING TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND EMERGENCY ROOM ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASSION. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SLEEPING; DURING ONE OF THESE EPISODES I HAD SLEPT ONLY ABOUT TWO HOURS IN TWO DAYS. DURING CHURCH THAT WEEK THE PASTOR PROPHESIED THAT THE HEALTH PROBLEMS SOMEONE HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING WERE MORE THAN JUST ORDINARY HEALTH PROBLEMS THEY WERE THE RESULT OF WITCHCRAFT. I SUPRISED MYSELF AT HOW FAST I JUMPED UP AND GOT TO THE ALTAR. I WANTED DELIVERANCE! LATER THAT DAY I BEGAN TO FEEL BAD AGAIN AND WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE I BELIEVE GOD PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH A DOCTOR WHO WOULD REALLY TAKE THE TIME TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE KNEW I HAD NOT BEEN SLEEPING; HE KNEW THAT I WAS OVERLY STRESSED. HE PUT ME ON ANXIETY MEDICINE AND I AM A PERSON THAT TOOK MYSELF OFF BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE (FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS UNTIL RECENTLY) SO ITS NOT LIKE I WANTED A QUICK FIX BUT I DID WANT THIS SITUATION FIXED. I AM BELIEVING GOD FOR A COMPLETE DELIVERANCE BUT UNTIL THEN...! I HAVE BEEN THINKING AND THINKING LATELY. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING OVER MY LIFE AND PUTTING PIECES OF INFORMATION TOGETHER. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HOW JUST ABOUT EVERY DISEASE HAS A ROOT...WHETHER FEAR,BITTERNESS,SELF HATE ETC. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HOW I SEEMED TO BE OKAY UNTIL MY BIBLE ON DVD BROKE; IT MAY SEEM ODD BUT IT WAS LIKE MY SPIRIT BEING FED AT NIGHT COMBATTED AGAINST WHAT INFORMATION THE DEVIL TRIED TO FEED ME DURING THE DAY. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ON HOW MY PASTOR SPOKE OF THE LAST REVIVAL BEING A REVIVAL OF THE MIND. "I'M READY". IT IS MY AIM TO SEEK GOD UNTIL MY MIND IS RENEWED COMPLETELY. I WANT THE WORD OF GOD IN ME ACTIVATED IN SUCH A WAY THAT I NEVER THINK THE SAME AGAIN. IN CHURCH ONE DAY WE TALKED ABOUT ABRAHAM AND WHAT CAME UP IN MY SPIRIT WAS DON'T AGREE WITH THE DEVIL. HE'S BREATHING OUT THREATS; HE'S USING PEOPLE TO PLANT SEEDS; HE'S DOING WHATEVER HE CAN TO GET US TO COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH HIM AND GIVE IN. TO GIVE HIM USE OF THE POWER GOD HAS GIVEN US; TO COMMIT SPIRITUAL SUICIDE. A WHILE BACK MY COUSIN TOLD ME ABOUT A DREAM SHE HAD ABOUT ME... SHE SAID WE WERE RUNNING AND SOMEONE WAS CHASING ME AND TRYING TO SERVE ME PAPERS; SHE SAID WE WERE RUNNING AND LAUGHING AT HIM BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WOULD LOOK BACK LIKE I WAS GONNA TAKE THE PAPERS AND SHE WOULD SAY "GIRL DON'T TAKE THEM PAPERS". SO TODAY I SAY TO YOU "GIRL, BOY,... MAN, WOMAN OF GOD...DON'T TAKE THEM PAPERS." "DON'T ACCEPT WHAT MAN SAYS OVER GOD SAYS" DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO BUT DON'T COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVIL.

Isaiah 53:1- 5
“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS (JESUS)
