Not Worth My Time!

I tell you, if I stayed so connected with the media I have to admit I'd be so DISTRACTED. For indeed, my thoughts would be on stuff and people that it'd really would have no business on. However, to stay not so plugged into the media is a struggle I admit because no matter where you turn it is there boldly before you trying to bombard your mind and that's from everything now days. But, I can say from past experiences when I was not so strong to turn away from or stop the commercial or not click on the latest news update through my email system because I wanted to "JUST SEE" due to all the drama I experienced from those times I can say it has helped me tremendously to steer clear from the next drama issue set before me.  Yet, I can also admit when things started to hit closer to home it did and has become alot harder to turn away from however, I praise God for His continual ways of escape being to just turn stuff off or keep on going. Because looking back on the times when I wasn't as strong or used wisdom should I say, to turn away from the drama I noticed how that took up entirely too much of my thought process. To the point where I even got headaches and to see where it lead me in the end, when the next opportunity arose for me to "JUST SEE" I say as I did today, No thanks! I do not choose to permit you to take me to places I do not choose to go.  Not to mention when my mind is bogged down with other people's business not only am I not effective in doing those things I am supposed to be doing for God but I am also not doing what Philippians 4:8 tells me to do which reads:  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Therefore, with this word I'd like to encourage you as I continue to encourage myself to do not allow the media's hype to steal precious moments away from you but just as you prayerfully ponder and study your paths may you also ponder and study those things that try to come at you on a continual basis through the media. Whether it be through a radio station, TV program, commercial for that matter now days, an article while you're just flipping through a magazine, a bill board, thorough your email carrier etc. But instead may you be strengthened in God to say No! And turn away from those things that are not even worth engaging your precious mind or time with.

Denying my Flesh!

Fasting

When I fast what I am doing is denying my flesh from being fulfilled

Being that there is a war and my spirit has to win

My flesh has got to be killed.

Listen, God honors us when we deny our flesh

He not only sits high but also looks low

And does reward those who diligently seek Him

Read Hebrews 11:6 that this too you may know

Fasting is a key to take you into higher dimensions of freedom

Yes, it’s a key that’ll indeed help you die to your flesh and live spiritually.

See when I fast I’m able to focus and hear

I’m able to hear the Holy Spirit correct me, love me, guide me, etc.

My spiritual senses are heightened

And my spiritual eyes, ears and heart are enlightened

Now does my flesh ever want to fast, Oh No!

This is why; I can’t ever wait on my flesh to tell me when to do so,

Because it never will

However, my spirit on the other hand yearns for me to

Because it knows it’s a needed component

For my growth through and through

Fasting enables us to do a self check and this is a must for us to do

Because the only Jesus folks may see, the only Bible they may read,

And/or the only church they may ever have could only be you and me

So yes, it is imperative that we take this thing seriously

Now, I truly see why fasting to my flesh and the devil is such an enemy

For the reason being satan knows if I get in the presence of the Lord

Without hindrance I become more empowered

Not only in the natural but also in the spirit. Yes! Indeed

Though no, the desire to die to your flesh may not happen overnight

I’m here to tell you as long as you have the heart to do so

God will help you along the way

To stand up against your flesh and fight

The word of God tells us that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. Deuteronomy 8:3

 2 Corinthians 4:11 

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

God's Love finding Me yet again!

It's amazing how much of God you can really see when you are delighting yourself in Him and the things that matter to Him.  As of lately, I have been heavily mediating on one particular scripture.  And I have been so drawn to it because it truly expresses my heart toward the Lord, it's a passage where I am letting Him know that He is my all in all!  Now what has blow my mind is that while I have been brooding over this passage and really just soaking in it, one day my husband came home and shared how he too got an understanding of this and because I knew exactly what He was trying to express I was able to share the passage I had been soaking in. When I did He said, Yes! That's it!  That's the passage I heard while listening to this word. So we continued to feed  together on the word. Then on another day when I went to take my daughter to dance and got into my husbands car the message He was listening to came on and that exact same scripture came up and I knew that was God.  Then this morning while I was just having some quite time with the Lord, good God Almighty I heard some worshipers start singing that scripture over and over and over and of course that's when I was just instantly thrown into complete worship and awe because I knew that it was God's love finding me and Him telling me, I hear you my daughter. I hear you.  Boy was that was something I knew without doubt was a sign, miracle and wonder from the Lord. Therefore, publicly I say thank you Father for that. It meant the world to me to be able to join with other worshipers who as well felt the same thing as I did. Thank you, thank you, thatnk you.
Not to be answered here but how valuable is God's word to you?
