Do I Need A Fortress Of Defense To Save Me?

Living life as opposed to not living life is the difference between day and night. Living does not mean that everything that is encountered is peachy keen. What it means is that you live, you learn, you encounter challenges, you may face danger. There is a lot to living. During all of this and throughout these daily, sometimes hourly things, you call on the one and only challenge on taker. The only one big enough to handle all of this. GOD. Its impossible to take everything on yourself. Now the ones walking through life not living. The ones mindlessly following what ever pops up. The ones without souls, are the enemies play toys. They have nothing to live for. Except the seven deadly sins. They have nothing to be grateful for. They are mindless and soul less. As opposed to the living. The living has Jesus, he took it all for us. Meaning the suffering, the discontent, the pain, the agony. And you look at those who have no belief in Jesus or God and shake your head, because they are the ones suffering.

Psalm 31:24 

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

Open Wounds Fester

If man or woman continue along life's path carrying burden after burden on their shoulders, soon the weight gets to be too much. The natural progresstion of things start to take place. None of which are positive. Physical and mental health are most definately affected. Social and personal relations are affected. Wounds are meant to be healed. God says give it all to him.

You Have To Trust In The Lord

When natural occurrences happen on the ground at sea or in the air, it is definitely time to prepare for the worst. Some chalk the presence of the storms, the frequent weather pattern changes and the earth moving and quaking in a scientific context. The bible has countless stories alluding to the "natural  disasters" that occured during those times. People back then did not have scientific answers readily availiable. The people believed that there was a mighty mighty force bigger then them doing all of these things. An example of having faith in God during one of those natural disasters.

A city was being destroyed by God because it was so very wicked . God told Lot to get his family out of this wicked town.

Genesis 19:26

26But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. 

To Turn A Blind Eye?

Isaiah 42:14-22For a long time I have held my peace;
    I have kept still and restrained myself;
now I will cry out like a woman in labor;
    I will gasp and pant.
I will lay waste mountains and hills,
    and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn the rivers into islands,
    and dry up the pools.
And I will lead the blind
    in a way that they do not know,
in paths that they have not known
    I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
    the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I do,
    and I do not forsake them.
They are turned back and utterly put to shame,
    who trust in carved idols,
who say to metal images,
    “You are our gods.”

Hear, you deaf,
    and look, you blind, that you may see!
Who is blind but my servant,
    or deaf as my messenger whom I send?
Who is blind as my dedicated one,
    or blind as the servant of the Lord?
He sees many things, but does not observe them;
    his ears are open, but he does not hear.
The Lord was pleased, for his righteousness' sake,
    to magnify his law and make it glorious.
But this is a people plundered and looted;
    they are all of them trapped in holes
    and hidden in prisons;
they have become plunder with none to rescue,
    spoil with none to say, “Restore!”

Men Ate Angel Food

It is very ironic that people who look like they have everything are the unhappiest. Why is that? They have money. They have cars. They eat at the finest restaurants. They can buy anything they want. Yet they are not happy. Why? Because money cannot buy the peace in your soul. If your soul is not at peace and frankly isn't used. Or it's dead and has no functionality in your life then yes, unhappy you will be. What needs to be remembered at any point in time. Man did not make man. Man has no control over what God does. God is a God of love, peace, wisdom,mercy and understanding. If mankind does not see nor does he appreciate God. He or she turns into dust an unhappy lost forgotten soul.

Psalm 78:5-8

5 He decreed statutes for Jacob
    and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
    to teach their children,
6 so the next generation would know them,
    even the children yet to be born,
    and they in turn would tell their children.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
    and would not forget his deeds
    but would keep his commands.
8 They would not be like their ancestors—
    a stubborn and rebellious generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
    whose spirits were not faithful to him.

Never Give Up!

If Jesus can feed 5000 with 5 fish, what do you think God can do? You should never doubt his capabilities. God moves mountains. He heals. He changes things for the better. One must always have faith.

Listen To That Inner Voice: To Your Soul

When someone says they love you unconditionally that means no matter what you do, who you are, what skin you are in the love they have for you cannot be erased.  Mistakes and bad judgements do not take love away. When you look into a persons eyes and see the light, some say it is looking into ones soul. Soul means that spirit part of you. That inner voice that knows and feels things. Intuition is part of the soul many ignore. But when you feel like something isn't quite right, follow the soul/instinct. Its God's tool. One of my favorite stories in the Bible is about a guy named Daniel. He was an average guy. Brown skin, hair kinda twisted (we would call them dreads today). Anyway he had this talent. He was able to use his intuition to interpret dreams for the King. He was the chief advisor to the King. Well the people of the land started getting curious at how the King was able to avoid trouble and fight battles winning every time. Daniel would always tell the King he praised God for all of his(Daniel's) talent. He said to the King, without God none of this would be possible. The King kind of heard him when he said those things and kinda didn't/ Well the people of the land did not believe in God. The King didn't believe in God. They (the people including the king) thought that their idols and false Gods were way more important then Daniels God. The King said to Daniel "Listen you are going to have to worship our idols and gods, the people are demanding this and so am I" Daniel said " wait a minute partner, you been good with what I have been telling you all this time, now you want to change the script?" Daniel said in so many words "ah H___ to the no" My God is all I have and he has gotten me through some tough stuff. You too King, he is who has guided me to advise you. "Whats up with this change of heart?" Daniel asked the King. The King gave Daniel an ultimatum. If you do not worship our gods I have to put you in the dungeon with the lions as punishment. Daniel could not believe this betrayal. He was very sad, busted and disgusted. He prayed to God and asked God to watch out for him while he was going through these changes. The guards threw him in the cell with the lions. And the guards sat outside the door waiting to hear the sounds of Daniel getting ripped to shreds by the lions. After a few minutes they checked on Daniel and could not believe what they were witnessing. Daniel on his knees praying to God and the lions sitting in the background chillin' not thinking about Daniel at all. The guards ran to tell the King. The King came down to the dungeon to witness this for himself. "Wow" the king said. "If this is what your God can do, I am a convert" The king demanded that Daniel be released and never questioned the power of God again.

Daniel 6:16 
So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions' den. The king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you

We Do Not Hold The Answers

ICorinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Life definitely provides us with challenges beyond our control . It is how we react to the organized chaos that is the key. Many react out of fear. Where as a faithful, believer of God takes fear and any other burden that they have and give it over to God, literally. It is so very important to be grounded. If you are not into God you are a lost soul period. 

There Is A Price To Pay

God had high expectations of his creation in the beginning . But was easily let down by mankind over and over again. He then sent Jesus in the form of a man. He died suffering like a man. However what happened next should have been enough to convince any non-believer. It wasn't and this doubt and disbelief is what has this whole world is. So negative and evil.

It To Shall Pass

Oh those days that start off with attacks from the enemy. They seem impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is there(the light). It is just a matter of trusting and believing. Even when down is so low you can't seem to get up. You shake the devil off and know in your heart that your path is illuminated by God.The devil is the only one that cannot supply the light as in the light that God provides. 

My GODS Love Is Abundant

It is so apparent when you love and believe. Trust and honor our mighty God that miracles really and truly happen.. 

There Is A Time And A Place For Everything

To know God is a blessing that many miss. Some figure they can live a life in comfort without God. Hence atheism. A non- believing world leads to death, destruction and disaster . So be the times in which we live. Trust and believe in the almighty God. For it is he who wakes you every morning .

  

God's Will Shall Be Done

Truly it is written to remain faithful and trust in The Lord. Believe me the test that follow are very serious. It is up to us to believe and not fall for the smoke screens. They can seem as real as apple pie. No matter what stay persistent. The Lord God is my rock he is who I believe and trust. The devil is a liar. And his agents and hell demons are the biggest of liars. 

Isaiah 10:27 It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder. And his yoke from your neck. And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

So shall it be.

A Song In My Heart

http://open.spotify.com/track/7kmCyE7w8AKT34A251qDwa

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
    he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

When He Has Tested Me I Shall Come Forth As Gold

There is a book in the Old Testament of the Bible that can be an example to the believer, that faith is but the size of a mustard seed. When one runs against the mighty ailments in life. The true and raw experience of life, there is a tendency to blame someone or something. There is the ever aching agonizing question, "Why me?" "What did I do God  to deserve this pain and agony?" But as at the beginning of this writing, the allution to the book of JOB gives prime example of a man that was knocked down and tore to pieces as a test. As a bet with the devil. God wanted to prove his faith in his creation. No way said God that JOB was going to give in. No matter what you do Devil he will not give up on me his God. Although JOB suffered, he never lost faith in God. Are you committed to God? No matter what travasty nor devistation that may be in or has been in your life. Stay stead fast in The Lord.

Job 24:22-23

But God draws the mighty away with his power. He rises up, but no man is sure of life. He gives them security, and they rely on it. Yet his eyes are on their ways.

Lean On His Everlasting Love

How many have simply given up because they cannot control their destiny? Many . Once one realizes that destiny is not controlled by man and that the ultimate power belongs to a greater power then man.  God, 

Corinthians 4:16-18

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

In Desperate Times

These times that we live in can either bring the best out in people, or the worst. It is not uncommon to see man treat his fellow man with disdain. Without empathy. During the times of Jesus, he walked among the healthy, the sick, the maimed, the mentally challenged, the possessed. He walked amongst them helping where he could. The only ones that were challenged out right were the hypocrites in the "church" or the demon possessed. In this era, challenge should be for those that are mighty and equip to handle this. God, or his angels. Otherwise, one must decipher those who  are truly in need. Judgement should not play any part in helping.

Matthew 7:1-3

7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholds thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considered not the beam that is in thine own eye?

To Whom Are You Beholden?

Luke 16:13

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Many many people in this world today wrap there worlds around money and material things. All of which come and go like the wind. Ah the wind, something that constantly moves. Something that cannot be captured. Something that is here today and gone tomorrow. Yes, money and things can definitely be compared to that. What has to be remembered always is that wisdom and understanding is a virtue one must be at ones side always. When blessings flow, the enemy knows exactly what to do to heighten your weaknesses. Make note: the enemy knows only of your past, he has no idea what God has in store for you. If there is anything you remember it is that. Fear, mistrust, anger, despair are all enemy tactics. Call on God to give you strength in your time of weakness.

Discouragement: Do Not Fall For That Smoke Screen

It is so very easy to get in a rut. To find the world a vast unforgiving pit. Many fall off the perpetual band wagon.They give up. It no longer seems a fair game. The haves far out weigh the have nots. What cannot be taken away unless there is illness or an untimely event is life. Life is so very precious. We are by nature social animals. We know how to express love. We know how to care and do the right thing. It takes those basic fundamentals to keep each other encouraged. Yes, it is gloomy by virtue of the economy. The job forecast. The greedy corporations. But we still have family.  Man has survived some of the worst conditions on earth and still managed to survive. We may have to re-group and understand that the golden apple. The white pickett fence. The yellow brick road is no longer applicable. This time affords us to look out for each other. If your neighbor is hurting, suffering and you can do something, anything do it. Too many are going with out in this country. In this world as a matter of fact. Jesus took five loaves of bread and fed thousands. Not saying this can be done today but the invisiable walls need to come down. Isolation will not equate to survival.

Are we of this world?

Genesis 6:12

God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways

We who believe that God made the heavens and the earth,know that God does not play. That his promises are worthy. When God told Noah to build his ark, Noah asked God why and the how to. God explained. Though it took all of his life, Noah was obedient. Which lead to his life and the life of other beings survival. What if God asked you to do something in preparation of an event or events? Would you be faithful & obedient?

Hypocrisy Is Not The Norm

Though many have grown accustom to the blatant lies. The stealing. The cheating. Some where amongst them is the good at heart. Not the soul that has been sold. But the true believer that God is the center of their lives. And yes, mistakes are made. But in the end repentance serves The Lord. We who believe know that Jesus died as a man through suffering for our sins. And it is through him that we will be redeemed.

Are You At Your Lowest Point?

Lowest point to some may not mean the same to others. Each and every one of us is unique. We are all wired differently. What satisfies one does not necessarily satisfy the other. So when someone goes through an emotional time in their lives, how does one find a coping method? And who does one turn to when the burden is so heavy?Some do not cope at all. Turning to destructive behavior(s). Some seek therapy, which in itself is better then nothing. Others go deep into prayer with God himself. In the end that is where comfort and solace are abundant. God is the only one that can carry such heavy burdens. 

Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

God Never Said It Would Be Easy Or Painless

3 John 1:2

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

No God never said life would be easy. There is no where in the bible that says life is a bowl of cherries. Yes, bad things happen to seemingly good people. It is not pleasant. It is painful. It hurts deeply. Many question God or disavow him at this breaking point. It is hard to go through the agony of life or of losing it without sorrow, grief, pain. God promises that he will get you through it. Imagine the pain he went through watching them torture his son. He could have taken all of it back and let things happen a whole different way. Instead he stood by, in pain and misery and watched how cruel mankind can be.

Round About That Time

There are so many out there that keep everything they do in schedule form. Though scheduling is great in itself, God does not work on one. God works for you always but on his time. God wants you to understand each and every valuable lesson. We must always look at life with the perspective that time moves on no matter if we have it scheduled or not. We are in the space surrounded by the universe , which is in constant motion. There are many many things going on around us. It is up to us to take the time to explore. To take in all that God has before us. That could never be done on a schedule. 

1 Peter 3:10-12

“Whoever would love life
    and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
    and their lips from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do good;
    they must seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
