I woke up and remembered 40 yrs ago my baby girl Meggie was born, and she was so sleepy, but a joy to raise.

None of us are islands to ourselves, and no matter how mature we become physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we all still struggle at times.

I find a lot of people as they get older, are not as open to share things with others, often because of the stigma attached, and how it can be taken wrongly, or be used against us with the twisting of words, that affect others to make us feel so alone.

It is sad, yet we are not alone. God knows the rest of the our story, and there are those who are observers on how things are happening.

We know people by their fruit of The Spirit, and we know them by their Character.

When we have close relationships we are not quick to judge… we are to take it before The LORD and not make hasty decisions.

After knowing someone for a while, you have tested and seen how The LORD uses them, and we are not hasty to miss the way!

When we feel like accusing, we need to be sure. We know them by the consistency of their character and lives.

How can we rightly discern by one incident that comes?

Why are we so quick to hear?

I notice at times a wonderful relationship can get disqualified quickly when the other person is ready to check out and block over a little issue — but it becomes a royal battle.

What I believe, is that we should pull away and seek The LORD before we make majors decisions, especially godly decisions about people, those who are in our lives.

It is my Hope and Prayer that I always remain kind, truthful, generous, transparent, loyal to God and those whom I trust.

Being honest and true must come from the heart, because God knows all things, even the things of the heart that we don’t see about ourselves!

As we grow in Faith, that doesn’t mean we are always up in our Faith, and we see the external things instead of what is in the Spirit.

It is important that we understand the realms we are in, and be sure to always be spiritually minded AND earthly good.

If we sin, discredit, accuse, and outcast or cut off a sister or brother, this is a heinous crime to the great Body of Believers in Christ.

Why? We want the natural realm to take preeminence. Flesh and blood cannot inherit The Kingdom of God.

We read about Miracles, Signs of Wonders and Words, but then maybe a day later after killing the prophets of Baal — Elijah wanted to die!

Depression, fear and failure, discouragement — we can see what is happening.

God left these people in the Bible for our benefit, so that we can learn from them!

They were very human — just like we are — and these things happen in The Body, even with the very mature.

We are to always be advancing and continuing to grow more and more — and to help other people to move forward in The LORD.

Elijah was fearful and running from Jezebel’s threatening words after such Signs and Wonders for Elijah became fearful when he heard about Jezebel and her words and threats to kill him.

The people said that “Jezebel is going to kill you!” I try to look beyond that. I try to look beyond the people and look beyond the person, into the spiritual motive and see how I would respond to that.

I hope I never get into a situation like that, but it does happen to people and seasoned believers. It doesn’t matter how old or how anointed, we all have imperfect ways, lots of attitudes, words, and all that we allow in our lives.

Forgiveness is mandatory — for if we will not forgive, The LORD will not forgive us.

There are no options! Either the person will be forgiven — or won’t be. We must learn that, even if we have legal grounds, or did not do what they thought or its in the wrong spirit.

Something all we learn is to be accused and punished, even when we are innocent and right. Thus, sometimes a very difficult situation.

But we cannot hold a grudge or unforgiveness! Be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath!

“Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Do not be quick to speak, and do not be hasty in your heart to utter a word before God. After all, God is in heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few.” Ecclesiastes 5:1-2.

Being quick to “Accuse” — isn’t a work of The Holy Spirit! God sides with The Truth, based and founded on The Holy Bible.

I know I fail, but I try to be as real, respectful, and very transparent with people, because that’s protection.

If we are found in the pit on our way to our destiny in Egypt, we must remain the best in whatever circumstances we find ourselves in.

The devil uses whatever he can to stop, hinder, and ruin relationships. The Body of Christ needs to learn how to love and be a family of believers — not those who hide thinking we know more!

I have nothing to hide, and The LORD still has me, and I’m still moving forward, but what the enemy wants is to keep me running from everyone and everything — and then once far enough away — I will burn out and sit down and I will get tired and depressed and say I’m no greater than my forefathers — so take me home!

There’s a lot of good reasons — but God wants us to see our own heart!

Personal Request

I want to ask if those who know me well, would pray for me.

I’m going through a lot right now, and I need Intercession.

I’m in need of true Spiritual Intercession from those who are Warriors in The Kingdom of God.

The LORD is King and He’s my God!

I ask prayerfully to please pray for me, in The Name of Jesus Christ,

 

In HIS Grace and Mercy,
