The Beauty of Brokeness

(Okay, my wife informed me that the reason why the honeysuckle doesn't taste as sweet as it did when we were kids is because this is not a honeysuckle!! It's a Day Lily! SMH! 😂

Y'all know I'm broken, right?

Dog returns to his vomit... don't do it!

A message of encouragement to a friend... but.. it also serves as a good reminder to myself. 

Something that has cometo my mind several times since our last talk on Wed.  I just want to encourage you during this season.  I amnot sure if the enemy is whispering to you "why do you even serve God if this is how He's gonna treat you?"  But it is a ploy that the enemy will use.  He did with me to the point where for a season I did allow my faith to just "die".   that lasted for 10 years.  and man..the darkness and drought that plagued my soul.  I finally woke up like the prodigal and realized that my life was much better in the Father's house.  I turned and made my way back to home.. but it was a hard and long way back.  So, I just encourage you by saying,  there is nothing there to go back to.. Continue pouring  your heart out to the Father.  This season shall pass.

Resistance Training

 

Most of us know that in order to become strong and fit... we have to have good nutrition but also have resistance of some kind.... exercise, lifting, etc.   

Well as christians the same applies. We need nutrition... the Word of God. But we also need resistance. Those trials we face everyday.... let's embrace them, face them... withstand them.. as part of our training and strengthening for the better life that God desires for us. (P.S. those trials aren't going away any time soon!)

It seems like one of those forms of resistance training is in the form of wrestling.... I hate those little uniforms they wear..... they make me look fat! 🤣 

Yet.... Ephesians 6:12 says For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

So..... "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!

I'm Sealed

Have I Offended You?

 I have worn myself out worrying and wondering if I've offended someone. It seems most of the time...  it is just my imagination.

So... in order for me to walk in peace... if I've offended you... please feel free to forgive me... I'll do the same for you.

If you can not resolve that issue in yourself. ... please feel free to talk to me. I know,  more than anyone else, that I'm imperfect and I make mistakes. 

So... if I don't hear from you... I will assume.... we're good! 

👍😁👊

Binding and Loosing Daily Warfare

 The prayer of binding and loosing.

  I bind you  spirit of  rejection   I bind you hand and foot and I gag your mouth so you can not even speak to my mind.  And in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I command you to get out of our lives.  And Father.. I loose your Spirit of acceptance and love. 

Years ago.. when I was single.. I was on a bus trip with a bunch of other christian singles.  I didn't know  most of these people.  I just couldn't seem to connect with this group...  Finally I was feeling dejected/rejected.  We had a break where we all went off and di some quiet time by ourselves.   I had thought on the subject of how the enemy can influence us in our daily lives.  Long story short... I realized that it could be the enemy trying to bring/keep a spirit of rejection in my life.  So I cam up with the above prayer.  I said that prayer during my quiet time.  We all came back to the bus... .and BAM!!!  it was like night and day.  I almost thought I was a celebrity!!!  LOL!

I started praying this prayer every day.  I since have included other areas that the enemy tries in my life like poverty, illness, and serveral others.   I have seen great breakthroughs because of the persistent daily warfare in my life. 

Some people can come against the enemy and he leaves in swoop.. It seems most of the time.. by the daily warfare.. that I just wear them out and they weaken their grip.
