At social event, unwanted thoughts melted

THE OTHER DAY while attending a social function I became aware of a flutter of unwanted, critical thoughts. I tried to focus on the speakers and their messages but another flutter of unrelated, unloving thoughts invaded. Then “I” looked for “MY” (God’s) real thoughts and the result was pure JOY !!!
Hours of giving and taking, sharing love and basking in it replaced the aforementioned critical, uptight atmosphere as the latter melted before my very eyes.

Me, anointed!

SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON’T QUITE “GET” ME. I don’t want to write a post about me but Papa says I gotta do it so here goes. I didn’t ever want to say this coz I so strongly dislike religious terminology but I believe I’m “anointed”. Good grief I said it!! Now all’s I gotta do is vindicate my statement, then I’m done, right Papa? Okay here goes.
I had more on my shoulders than most adults do in a lifetime, not expected to live time and again and I was like 5, 10, 15 years old. I can’t bear to relive the pain of being left so all alone – with a bible!!! – to heal myself when it was so beneficial to keep me down. I don’t know how I survived but I sure did learn to rely entirely on God.
Not physical rape but emotional dogged me since forever, and yet I can smile victoriously as I learned to use each and every incident as a stepping stone to deeper/ higher/ farther exploitations of Holy Spirit than I ever deemed possible.
I guess somewhere along the way I discovered that my niche was in the very process of dis–covering my spiritual being and abode commencing almost at birth!
Btw, lest I forget, you precious reader are not one iota less anointed than I am. Now I think I’ve said it all.

See them perfectly!

When you’re walking down the street
and you see something not quite right;
Not an accurate manifestation
of the allness of God and his Love;
Perhaps an obese gentleman
or a crippled lady
or a sad and sickly child,
See them as Jesus sees them
every whit whole, healed and happy!
Then take those persons
who never cease coming to your mind,
Deserving or not – see them
Pure as the driven snow,
Sweet as a bouncing babe,
See them, see them, see them
As you would like to see
your own self be.

Never in a bad mood

I often wonder about people who stop by in prayer to visit with the Lord from time to time, usually when they need something or when they want to fulfill a daily routine to get it over with. stopping by to pay a visit what does that mean? I live in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit lives in me. There’s no stopping by there’s no ok thanks and see you! there’s only God and his kingdom and me. I don’t need to say hey God its me now who else would it be? being at one with Jesus is like your arm and your hand and your legs and yes even your meddlesome head are one! there’s no need to tap tap tap on the door of the Holy Spirit there is no door! there’s not a moment of separation between yourself and your spirit – ever! that’s how closely aligned you are with Jesus, with the Holy Spirit, with Daddy God! do you ever feel he’s a little bit ticked off at you? You’re wrong – he has never been ticked off at you ever! He loves you and guess what he is love!

From “take note” to full-fledged alert

God and me – we have this agreement – it goes in threes:
1. Minor mishap [You drop your pen] – Think almost nothing of it; just make a mental note and dismiss it.
2. A bit more serious mishap occurs, or almost happens [You bump into a basket full of pens and a few fall (or, almost fall) onto the table.] – Take notice and be alert.
3. A real mishap takes place [Pens fly everywhere] – STOP EVERYTHING: YOU NEED TO GIVE GOD YOUR FULL ATTENTION. There’s something you need to hear.

I was just over on your blog . . . .

I was just over on your blog …. one thing was about our wants. Anything you want. I put it to the tune anything you you got it by Roy Orbison! I will sing this with a new perspective, Any I want I’ve got it! So many scriptures come to mind! God will withhold no good thing from me. God has given us all things that pertain to live and godliness….on and on..and on…wow!! I am sowing these deep in my heart!!!

Choose Life

………. THE TIME IS NOW ……….
………. Dr. Robin Starbuck ……….
If you’re ever going to carry out your real wishes for your life you have got to put the Word of God uppermost in your life. Do not let others’ good intentions deter you from what you really need to do. What could be more important than doing the will of God for your life and finally realizing your full potential. If you are REALLY at one with God, you will have everything developed that should be developed and everything quelled that should be quelled. The time is now!! What more are you going to listen to and fight with before you throw up your hands and say “That’s it! I’m done!”? It’s too late for you to be used by the devil [Devil = Our Own Unwanted Thinking] anymore and not realize exactly what you’re doing – because you already know!! The Word of God can literally save the world. There is nothing that God cannot do. Do you really want to dedicate yourself – for another moment – to gleaning the riches of this world? Can you just for a moment consider the fact that anything that has happened in your life which has forced you to wake up has been nothing but a good thing? THERE IS NOTHING ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WAKING UP TO THE OMNIPOTENCE AND OMNIPRESENCE OF THE CREATOR OF THE ENDS OF THE EARTH AND BEYOND !! Do you really believe that you are the center of the world and that everything should serve you? Does that really make any sense at all – spiritual or otherwise?? God will empower you with a power beyond your fondest imagination – if you’ll only let Him. But…. But…. You know what? But nothing!! Have you found God’s grace? And are you going to use it to run after your former fleshly desires? If so, my friend, you haven’t a clue what the grace of God really means and you are being used by the other camp that says that you must live the rest of your days repenting, repenting, repenting! No, you must wake up and stay awake and don’t go off to the road of least resistance! It’s very tempting to believe that you can mix and mix and mix until you get the admixture that just fits your little personality. Don’t let the naysayers have their way! Don’t listen to the world of the flesh and you won’t get confused, so you won’t have anything to repent of! You need to take a stand for the Word of God and you need to do it for a prolonged period of time. Otherwise you’ll be like the sower in the Bible who:
“…These are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; [17] And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. [Mark 4:16-17 kjv]

The time is now!
