Regrets

I  did something  I regret, but I went to God and apologized. God knows!! I am SO not perfect!!

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Make a special effort to stay present with Me, says the Lord.  Resist the temptation to dwell on the past, and deliberately let go of all failures and regrets.  Walk with Me here and now even though your tendency will also be to race ahead and try to see what the future holds.  There are things that you need to see and deal with right here where you are now.  Let me show you and give you wisdom.

Psalms 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

Still Believing!

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Don’t give up!  Hold on to your faith.  Even though the path seems unfamiliar and even treacherous at times, you must continue on.  I have gone before you to make the crooked places straight and to remove dangerous obstacles from your way.  Be strong and unwavering in your belief that I will perfect those things that concern you, says the Lord. 

 

Isaiah 45:2  I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.

Self-Control!!!

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Be on the lookout for weapons formed against your soul, particularly your emotions.  The enemy wants to not only distract you from spiritual endeavors, but wants to disable your desire to walk in the Spirit.  Watch particularly for depression, condemnation, frustration and outrage.  You will feel completely justified in allowing these expressions to manifest, but it would not be in your best interest, says the Lord.  Exercise self-control.

Isaiah 54:17  No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.  This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness if from Me, says the Lord.

The Purpose Pt.2

In part one of the post, I shared a dream I had about two powerful people in the entertainment industry, aligning in business and how I believe God was showing me this was not His plan. One of the people in the partnership, (the man) is a Christian and the other one is not. I don’t want to name these people, but I will l say that the woman has said that there is not only one way to God and that would make her not a Christian. The Bible is clear: John 14:6 New Living Translation (NLT)⁶ Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

This means NO MAN can come to the Father, except through Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Living God. You can’t come through New Age thought, Buddha, Confucius, etc,, etc. Jesus is the only way.

So this is the reason that I see God breaking this alliance. God said that we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Now, I have heard ministers say this woman is a Christian, but I am going by what has come out of her own mouth and her lifestyle does not support a faith in God.

The man who has aligned with the powerful woman, is too valuable to the Kingdom of God and I don’t mean the Kingdom on his own terms. I mean God’s true Kingdom.

What happens to people when they get on that level, is they become god’s to themselves. Their money blinds them and they move away from the principles of God’s word and that is what I believe has happened. Anytime you move away from Christ crucified, the death burial and resurrection of Jesus and confessing with your mouth and believing with you heart that God raised Jesus from the dead as the way to salvation, you are no longer walking in the truth of your faith.

When others begin to influence you, more than you influence them, then God has no purpose for you to be connected for those people, so he will bring it all down if He has to.

I know this might sound scary, but it’s not. It about love. God’s loves us too much to leave us connected to things and people who will cause us to lose our very soul.

Love series: Teach me to love

A Prophetic Walk

I was thinking about love and how we really have to learn how to love. And God is the only one who can teach us. We are all a product of what we have seen and observed especially from childhood. If you were blessed to have two parents that stayed together, like myself,  that becomes your example. Unfortunately a lot of our examples were dysfunctional.

First some people are naturally more loving I believe. They just take stuff no matter what. My mom was like that and I used to be like that. She internalized a lot of things and just kept on loving, but I believe it took her to an early grave. And watching her endure changed me. She died in her mid sixties. My grandmother however didn’t take a lot of junk and she lived to the ripe old age of 89. My mom suffered a lot of abuse…

Love Series: Healing, Then Love

So God told me that the man he has for me was a man who needed a LOT of love. I see that is true, but I always believed I would be able to sow love into his life up close and personal and not online.

So here comes another woman willing to sow “love” into his life even though she has never met him and she says it was God and that he is her mate. Even though she was and still is abused and misused and treated badly, (her words, not mine) she continued and continues to sow “love”. Well guess what? He bought it though they have never physically met it appears the feeling is mutual.

I know it sounds and feels good, but honestly I am not going to say I don’t believe it, but I don’t. I think she is infatuated with who he is and what he has. But kudos to girlfriend for being able to do the impossible.

When I asked God why and how this happened, the Lord showed me he is a man with broken walls susceptible to much, open to a whole lot. His walls must be built up or else anyone would be able to get in.

But now, it’s easy for her to sow love because it’s seems to be returned. So naturally that makes the job much easier. So where does that leave me? Should I compete? But I heard the Lord speak clearly through this devotional:

Faith Tabernacle April 16, 2013

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: I would have you take the land for My kingdom, says the Lord.  But, I speak to you in spiritual terms.  There are parts of your heart that have become bitter and hardened because of the difficulties you have faced.  Those hard places of discouragement, rejection, and frustration must be plowed up like fallow ground and planted with seeds of faith and trust.  You must take the ground of your own heart before you can do the external work. Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

For me it’s a matter of healing.  The other woman in my opinion is used to abuse. And her personality is different than mine. But I am NOT in a competition, but I am all about healing my own heart before I can show Gods love to someone else. Meanwhile, I guess that will go on. But it has a purpose. It may not feel good, but in the end whatever is there is going to be removed. Listen men, the best woman for you is NOT the one who can endure the most abuse. It’s the one God says is for you.

So how is this going to be fixed. God told me, he already knows, that is why he came back to me. But he is allowing his emotions to rule now, but that is going to work against him in the long run. She is sweet as long and she gets what she wants. But when the answer is a forever no, that will ALL change. I saw a little bit of it just recently.

Meanwhile, let me get healed.
