Delivered

Sunday morning was a special day.  It was a day God set aside just for me.  He cleansed me of my darkness and burdens, my pains and my unforgiven.  He showed me gold from Heaven and said to me you are more precious than this to me.  He cleansed me with his holy water and poured it all over me.  I felt the anointing of his hands and those of his ministering angels.  It was hard to believe how dark and hard my heart had become.  What was even more painful was the fact that it was Christians who helped turn me in that direction.  Nonetheless, God is amazing and places people in our paths who are truly his prayer warriors and servants.  People who remind me that any of us can be blinded at times, especially when we move away from the body of Christ.  Simple morals that we stand by and would “never” do seem easier to do.  I am thankful for the people Jesus has placed in my life especially in my time of need.  I feel delivered and know that Jesus wants to use me for his glory and that is what I want to do.  Having a clear mind and clear thoughts, surrendering to his every call on my life.  I know what it is to live in dark places, but I want to know what it is like to live in the light.  I am tired of taking mini vacations to the promise land and then run back to the slavery I know so well.  God promised us to have an abundant life, but we must choose to accept that life and the love that comes with it.  It doesn’t matter that we don’t deserve it, what matters is Jesus tells us we do!  His sacrifice clinched our victory for eternity.  I want to remember this everyday and every moment and as my past tries to deafen me, I want to fix my eyes up Jesus and listen for his still and silent voice. Thank you Papa, protect me and be with me, do this for me and for all that choose to serve you! Amen

One Love, One King, All Christ!

Passing us by

I just realized the other day I am 36 years old, Holy WHAT!!  Where did they time go I remember turning 20 and thinking of all the life I had ahead of me and 16 years flew by.  There have been ups and downs in those 16 years, but how fast the time does fly.  Friends I went to school with have kids who are graduating high school now.  I mean we really need to stop and smell the roses as they say because before you know it we will be 60, God willing.  In my morning readings I am learning on how to be passionate about Jesus and not about ministry.  I think so many of us get caught up in what we are working for, instead of who we are working for.  It is not just for me and my job and the stuff I do for Jesus, that is not what defines me nor does it define you.  You have to put your family first and then let it trickle down from there, to your friends, co-workers, acquaintances and new friends.  Let Christ do the shining and you do less moving.  We have to learn to stand still sometimes, because if not 16 years will pass by again.  I want to be strong and follow Christ and I want to sacrifice all for him, but I know he would want for me to have a healthy home.  When my time comes to have a family, I want to be emotionally mature in Christ to know, he is our foundation and the quality I put into him in my own home will say a lot of the quality of time I will put into all my relationships. So my friends, slow down and smell the Palm Trees, since I am in Miami, but take your time and enjoy every moment God gives you.  Live everyday moment by moment.

One Love, One King, All Christ!

Terrible Feelings Please Flee

Well, this is something I have thought about for a while.  It is almost a 100% guarantee that when I start to draw near to God I get these terrible feelings.  My past seems to hit me in the face with a baseball bat.  Now, I know how that feels cause it happened to me when I was about 12 and I was playing catcher and my friend decided to let go of the bat when he took a big swing!!  Well, I didn’t get knocked out, but 20 stitches later and the scar under my eye reminds me of what that feels like.  Now, in my spiritual life it seems these feelings just linger in waiting and when they anticipate a God move by me they pounce.  I haven’t been in this alone, there have been people involved to hurt me a long the way and a good friend of mine reminded me that Satan will use everything and everyone to attempt to stop the good God is doing through us.  That little bit of advice stuck with me.  I have forgiven and moved forward but not on.  However, I know in order for me to find my peace and joy again in God, I am going to have to truly surrender.  When we get in these modes of life, sin sticks it nasty head in and then the numbness of life begins to thicken.  You find yourself not eager to go to church or participate in events that you used to.  Then Satan comes along and makes sure those people who use to contact you, don’t.  So here are all these emotions, followed by work, family, everyday life and whatever else life throws at you.  The answer is a resounding YES!!!  I know Jesus paid it all and will carry this for me.  Basically, I guess what I am saying is these terrible feelings of my past, being hurt and loneliness are all part of the excuses we make to not let God work.  I am asking for your prayer to battle these feelings and also a prayer so that I can move on and again see the paths that Christ has laid before me!

One Love, One King, All Christ!
