Frustrations of Life

To make myself laugh, I looked up the different words for crazy in the Thesaurus. How do you sum up this year? How about the word absurd? Today we tried a zoom orientation meeting. The internet in rural areas can make a virtual meeting get odd really fast. Every Friday, my prayer group meets via video, so I am getting used to two people trying to talk at the same time. It is kind of like that weird dance you do with someone that is trying to pass. Till finally, someone stands still and refuses to move. But there is no etiquette when you can't get an online connection. So today, while the speaker is trying to give a devotion on 1 Corinthians 16:13, "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong," no one can hear her. You could see it on everyone's face. That look of “I can’t read your lips. What?” When this happens, you don't know to laugh, cry, curse, or just quit. Anxiety for many is happening because there is absolutely nothing you can do for these bizarre circumstances. I teach my ladies that you cannot wish things were different. You must deal with the situation at hand and ask God how to walk the path in front of you. I also teach them that you may not know what to do, but you absolutely know what you are not allowed to do. So God, till all this absurdity ends, will you help us maintain our anxiety, frustration, apprehension, and anger. Teach us how to behave appropriately and that we represent You well. I thank you that my sense of humor is still intact. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

There is Life and Death in the Tongue

  There is life and death in the tongue. In the beginning, God created man to be in authority. Since the fall of man, many now see any so-called authority in our words, as crazy superstition or demonic. By perverting the concept, Satan has us speaking negative words in doubt and unbelief. We are literally cursing our own destinies because we do not understand that from the beginning, words were used to create. Now, evil uses words to destroy with constant negative, complaining, and destructive talk. It is everywhere, and the church is participating. Jesus has taken all authority from Satan and returned it to His children. Being ignorant concerning precisely what the blood of Christ at the cross has restored to us, we are still declaring ourselves destined for illness and great sorry on this earth. Many have confused trials and tribulations as one’s lot in life, so we then do not speak in authority against it because we believe Sovereign God wants us sick and hur...

I Beg You

Please note, I wrote this post for my fellow followers-in-Christ. My middle sister has retired in a community that is set up specifically for older citizens. The one-story-brand-new home has everything you would need to provide safety and convenience. They have made many friends with the same interest and most of all; they feel safe. Last night I had a dream my sister and her husband decided to sell this home. They bought a dilapidated home. As I walked up to the house, the yard was grown up past our head. You could barely see it had a fence around the yard. When I went in, the walls were filthy and worn. Everything in the home was so old it was falling apart. Here is the funny part. They were so happy and proud of this old home and kept referring to the brand-new home as disgusting. In my mind, I was pleading, “Please tell me that you did not sell your home; you will not be happy with this old house.” Suddenly I woke up, very upset. Immediately God spoke to me to tell me what the drea...
