My Revelations...

I, like others, have to apologize for not updating my blog like I should. What can I say, life has been crazy! Anyway, I will try to do better.

God has a way of speaking to me in small subtle ways. I can be driving down the road and all of a sudden I am hit with a new revelation. They can be complex or very simple.

One of the first one is a bumper sticker of a hairy man's arm using a clay wheel and the caption would be "God - The original "Hairy Potter."

Another one is that we need to be more like Zacheus and go out on a limb for God.

Most of the time they are very simple but then they can get more complex.

My latest hit me yesterday on my way home from work. There are two journies that we must make multiple times in our Christian walk- to the cross and to the throne of God.
There is a time for each journey. The cross is a form of execution, brokenness. It is the greatest symbol of shame and humiliation. We go there when we are beat down. However, the bible also says that we are to take up our cross daily.

The throne of God is where you go in times of worship. You can still be broken and approach the throne, but it is for worship.

This is still being formed. I haven't gotten the whole revelation yet, but I thought I would share it incase any of you might have some insight in this matter.

Please, keep praying for our family. We are at a crossroads and are really needing direction. We have been stationed at the cross for quite some time and have forsaken the journey to the throne. Help us find our way from the cross to the throne. (This is not saying that we have fallen away. This is simply saying that prayer is needed in this new chapter, new journey, in our life.) Thank you for your prayers. I know God will deliver.

...not of fear...but of a sound mind

So, referring back to my previous post, I told about the attack my husband and I have been experiencing. Last night, I had a revelation.
The attack has seemed to be personal, against my work ethic, my personality, my whole being. However, I realized last night that the attack has been solely on my mind. I used to be able to pride myself in multitasking and getting stuff done in a structured precise manner. Not so much anymore. Even the simplest tasks have become easily forgotten. Not only that, but my mindset on things has been completely negative. My attitude has been poor and I haven't made any strides in trying to improve it.
I have had enough. I, as the rest of you, need the full use of my mind, and I am tired of the battle that is being played out in that area. I reclaim the use of my mind and I bind any negative thought or attitude. I am praying that my mind be restored to what it used to be, not years ago, but weeks ago.
Gateway choir sings a song that I am deeming as my new theme song: "I want it all back!"
I want the full use of my mind back. No more confusion, no more negativity, no more forgetfullness. NO MORE!!
Devil...I want it all back! It's not yours to use. It is God's.
For God did not give us the spirit of fear (confusion, bitterness, resentment, negativity) but of power (over anything that tries to bind us), and of love (not hate) and of a sound mind (Thank You, Jesus!)
