I surrender all to you from the physical to the spiritual things. You have consumed my world. I will move when you move. I will stay when you stay. My heart is full of all the lessons you have taught me. Help me follow your lead and not chase the dreams of my heart
DROWN ME IN YOUR SPIRIT
I remember the days I could not see past the darkness that consumed my world. I believed all the lies that that were told as truth. I consumed all the garbage that Satan sent my way. Once, I had enough and dropped to my knees and called on the Lord. My eyes could see the truth. My ears could hear the voice of the Father. He delivered me from the grip of Satan. As I walk with the Lord, Satan is always there trying to entice me to step away. His desire is to destroy the kingdom of God. He knows that is impossible, so he goes around trying to find the stragglers and pull them away and devour them. Stay close to the Father and stay under His wings.
Why hold on to the things that hurt you. Let God heal your heart. Forgive the ones that have hurt you. Let go of the anger. Let go of the unforgiveness. Learn to forgive yourself. Let God love you. Let Him heal you. Let God recreate you. 4/26/24
Today is the birthday of two important people in my in my life. Helen is my oldest sister. She lived her life for the Lord. She played the piano, and when she played, the spirit would fall. At the age of 46, she left us to be with the Lord. She was my hero.
The other is my son, Thomas. He was taken at the age of 16 through the act of violence. He was six months clean from drugs. A few months before, he was murdered. He gave heart back to the Lord.
While I was singing, the Lord showed me both of them. He told me I love them the same.
He loves his children no matter where they come from. Some struggle to build a relationship with our creator because of roots and seeds of hurts and sin planted in their lives. My own life, it took me years to get close to the Lord due to the garbage I carried. He never gave up on me. He loves, carries, and corrects me. He knows what I need to be set free. So I trust Him and keep laying it down till I don’t pick it up again.
Sitting on the floor at church lost in The Holy spirit. I heard the spirit say, “You can find me in your weakness.”
If we could do it ourselves, we would not need Him. What we call weakness is where we learn to grow and become like Jesus. When we are broken hearted, He puts up back together with His glue. The other part of what I saw was the rock. The rock means different things. We will either stand on this rock or fall and let it break us where God can use us. We have to lose ourselves in Him for us to grow in Him.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 KJV
[9] And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me. [10] Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Good morning, world. My day is about to begin. Off to my place of caring for some beautiful souls.
Dear Father, I asked you to go before me and make my way easy today. Bring a peace over the ones that need it. Give me love for the ones around me. Give me the wisdom for each circumstance that I meet. Take care of the ones at home while I am gone. Thank you for the new jobs for my husband and for taking care of us in all ways. Help my grown children and grandchildren wherever their at. You know what they need.
Who gets our time? God knew that in this world, we would have to choose who we are going to serve and give our time, too. In my personal life, I work a full-time job in caregiving. Take care of my parents. My husband and I have a home business. We are involved in our church a lot. I feel the Lord has instructed me on ways to meet with Him. It is a fight sometimes. Not that I don’t want to, my flesh gets in the way. My God makes me a priority. Why can’t I make my relationship with Him more important. Something I am going to have to keep working on.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.6.33.KJV
Being a servant of God. What does that intell? To me, it is doing whatever He asked. I trust Him that whatever He tells me to do will not be wrong. Serving my brother and sister is also serving Him. Yes, I have dreams and things I would like to do. My heart is full of His lessons and the testimonials that He has given me. I see me doing this and that, but I am content to do what I am doing for Him. If He wants me to do other things, He will open the door. His timing is better than mine.
When I do things to help others, it is not for me but for Him. My heart’s desire is to take as many people with me on this journey to see the king.
His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
Matthew 25:23 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.25.23.KJV
I was praying this morning. Had visions of clutter. Was trying to reach the Lord, but so many things were getting in the way. What I saw was garbage. This stuff did not amount to anything. It was just getting in the way.
The most important relationship in my life is with my creator and what comes with Him. Then my husband and my children. Most of my life, it has been upside down and cluttered with sin, abuse, addictions, etc. Part of my healing process I have been learning to make boundaries and pace myself. For years, I worked a lot to make ends meet, so I pushed myself and forgot what was important.
I have made my way back to the center where I am learning what is important. When I die, nothing can go with me. But people can. If I show people who God is and point them to Him and plant seeds in their hearts one day, we will meet in Heaven. It’s time for the clutter to go and let God have full control.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.6.33.KJV
Your flame burns within me. Sometimes, it rages. Sometimes, it is a smoldering coal.
When I build a fire, it starts with dry wood and kindling. Some use lighter fluid and a match. I have seen gasoline used, which can be dangerous.
Put this in a spiritual experience. When we meet the Lord for the first time, we are the wood. We come to Him as we are. Some of us are dried up to the point that one strike will light us up. Others are soaken wet with sin it takes some holy ghost gasoline to burn it and dry it out to let the flame start burning. Jesus knows what it takes to save us. We are different but the same. Before we come to Him, He already knows us. He knows what hides away in our hearts. All it takes is us to trust Him and give ourselves away.
