Failing the Test

Today, my flesh arose. This strong desire to have it MY WAY!  I failed miserably in putting it down.

My husband wanted to watch a show with me, but he wanted to watch it live. I wanted to watch by DVR.  IT was evident that I pouted like a child when the commercials came on. I could feel it, this thing rising in my soul that has not been crucified with Jesus, yet.

IT is amazing how some small difference can grow into discord, pushing Peace from the room.

I did ask God for help, after the fact. Maybe if I had spent time with Him earlier I would have had self control.

Philippians 2:3 -4 do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of us regard one another as more important than himself; do not merely look out for our own personal interests but also the interests of others.

Help me Holy Spirit be more like Jesus. Amen.

You Will Live and Not Die

Driving West to visit the parents, we met my nephew before heading to the homestead. My nephew told me that my mom sat everyone down separately to tell each person, “I have lung cancer and will die by the summer.”

The words that came out of my mouth were, “SHE WILL LIVE AND NOT DIE!”

When we arrived at the parents house the same spirit rose up in me.

I WOULD NOT ALLOW ANY TALK OF DEATH!

I told my mom, “YOU WILL LIVE AND NOT DIE!”

I had communion with her telling her that Jesus body was broken for her healing, and His Blood was shed for you to have His righteousness.

The other thing I did was write out Psalm 103:5 and asked her what it meant to her when she read it. Then I suggested she confess it out loud daily and believe it.

After returning home I called daily to put LIFE into her thoughts.

Instead of dying by the summer she was free of cancer from her brain, lung and next to her aorta.

How did I have the Strength and Boldness to speak life  everyone this way?

The answer came this week when I heard a preacher use Psalm 118:17 which says, “I shall not die, but live and tell the works of the LORD.”

Years ago, I read out loud five Psalms and one Proverb every day.  This covers all the Psalms and Proverbs each month. I read so long I wrote days of the month in my Bible to tell me where to start each day.

Joshua 1:8 says to meditate on the Word day and night so you might do all that is written so your life may be prosperous and have success.

When the Word is stored up in our soul then Holy Spirit is able to BRING IT TO REMEMBRANCE  when we need it!  He did it for me and He will do it for you!

PUT THE WORD IN YOUR SOUL!
