#93. TRUE BLUE...TO THE CORE

One Question:  What ever happened to the “True Blue…To The Core”?  Meaning: those that will speak only Truth…without fail.  Honesty is like an unchanging anchor in their life that causes them to be outstanding in any crowd, without fail.  How do I know?

Because I know someone who is “True Blue To The Core” and has been for decades. Consequently, any darkness that gets near this person is easily exposed.  The brighter the light, the more difficult it is for darkness to hide. Think about it…there can be dark corners in a room with a light on, but in the life of a believer who keeps depositing the Word of God a displacement occurs.  Light removes darkness.  It happens within first, proving that spending time depositing God’s word within… is never time wasted.  Rather it is ‘displacement time’.  Law of displacement.

If the Word of God has been deposited within daily, repeatedly, even when not understanding it yet faithfully reading, listening, good things are happening on the inside.  Of that you can be sure because the Word of God is not like any other ‘words’.  Each word is alive.  Depositing living water within is what occurs through the reading of God’s Word.  The more the Word is read the more darkness gets exposed.  Changes happen within first, prior to the outward manifestation.  It is the Word of God at work, and The Word Works!  Just whetting your appetite for the Word because that is the area the enemy tries hardest to defeat believers.

So why aren’t there more believers who are “True Blue To The Core”?  Why are there so many believers who refuse to be totally honest?!! Why is a mask worn when there is a problem, rather than admitting being offended?  Why say instead…too busy for you now…?   Why are excuses given, rather than being upfront, honest, and dealing with issues?  It is not until there is a disagreement…that you have opportunity to adapt.  That is when you find out if you are handling adversity effectively because the result will be agreement. 

Do you?  Why are there so few that are willing to do so…is it fear of rejection, fear of losing control if the inner anger starts to be released and truth comes out? Is there a volcano of pain stuffed within that once the lid comes off it can no longer be contained?  Thus, fear of losing control…yet not recognizing the decision to house such pain is controlling self.) 

Is there a problem dealing with emotions effectively?  Is it easier to handle issues with emails than in person, or by phone?  Are the phone and computer used as a barrier of protection…so to speak?  If so, there are a lot more issues within that need to be dealt with because whatever the current issue is, that was only the straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak.   What is being stockpiled within?  Is it unresolved issues, is it offense, is it anger extreme, is it hurt, is it pain, is it rejection, is it all of the above…or none?

Whatever it is, you know better than anyone so one by one, ask the Holy Spirit to help you walk out the darkness in each situation until every wound is healed.  Then you are not only healed, cleansed, made stronger, but set free to be a believer who is “True Blue To The Core”.  This is simply part of the daily walk with the Lord Jesus Christ as we do encounter difficulties because we are in a spiritual battle.  Yet if we do not keep our spirit in good condition we will be like soldiers in God’s Army full of wounds, bandages, and much pain, infection, because unhealed wounds easily spread. 

They cause not only pain; but more words can be released such as gossip, or a tongue lashing occurs against the person you got offended at. Easier to criticize someone to another, (and God hates sowing discord among the brethren…) than it is to humble self and start facing facts and issues within. Especially when the person who the offense is at, apologized, though offense was not intended.  To continue to a have broken relationship is undeniable fruit, not how Jesus calls the body of Christ to function.

When the root of bitterness, unforgiveness is not dealt with effectively, the fruit will be obvious to others as bad fruit.  Kind of a dangerous place to be for anyone around you because you become like a dog that is wounded and such a dog will even bite its owner… who only means good, no harm!  Hurting dogs bite people, and hurting people hurt people.  If Jesus harbored pain from wounds he received when he walked on earth in his earthly body…how would love flow out to others when he spoke?  Love flowed because forgiveness flowed fast.  Even on the cross…forgive them…for they know not what they do. He forgave, we can and must, too.  

Jesus walked in love and he is our example.  He prayed all night.  Do you think perhaps some of his prayers were for the healing of his own spirit because of how he was treated?  Jesus kept himself free of unforgiveness, revenge, poison. He “chose”…to walk in love.  If instead, Jesus withdrew and isolated himself because of hurts received…how would that help us? He makes it clear that withdrawal is not the answer for progress spiritually.  Nor is denial.

If there is a process of maturing taking place in the life of a believer this is an area where confronting will be done to resolve, maintain unity.  To be denied that opportunity, is not scriptural.  However, it is also not scriptural to give opportunity to talk it out and then not be honest; rather side step the root reason and throw up an excuse.  Excuses simply erect a so-called smoke screen to deflect from the area where offense was conceived, or a spiritual arrow hit whether intentional or not. Result is, the wound stays and good is not accomplished though an effort was made.  People can not change people, but people can change themselves with God’s help.   

If individuals truly want to be Christ like, there is a desire for unity, harmony, peace, love to flow, and forgiveness to be fast and sincere.  If we want to be like Jesus Christ can we justify not dealing with issues let alone not dealing with issues honestly?  Choosing to harbor pain is hanging on to it.  To forgive, one must be willing to let it go, release it completely, sincerely, so as to no longer be a victim. Unforgiveness, and not dealing with issues hurts each individual far more than anyone else. It is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Or going for marriage counseling and one party lies repeatedly.  Honesty is a must, not an option!

Prior… to becoming an overcomer in Christ, the pain has to be released and forgiveness also.  It is not complicated yet why…again I ask, why are there so few that are “True Blue To The Core”?  I pray for many more in the body of Christ to receive total healing and make a commitment to be honest, never lie, not even a white lie, as they raise the bar in their lives and become like my Mentor Dr. Mike Murdock…  “True Blue To The Core”.

The fruit in his life proves why he has completed 47 Highly Successful Years In The Ministry; Has Over 105,000 Followers on Twitter; Has Written Over 330 Books, and 6000 Songs! 

The Fruit In His Life Is The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit…to the Glory of God.  We know Jesus is our example. Our decisions decide our success. Dr. Murdock is proof that we can do this “While On This Earth So Lets Raise The Bar” And Be: “True Blue To The Core”!

I honor you Dr. Mike Murdock, and thank you for being an example of “WORLD CLASS”…  “True Blue To The Core”!  Without fail, the Holy Spirit through you, inspires me and multitude’s more and more to be “True Blue To The Core”!! THANK YOU!! (Through your teachings the Holy Spirit gave me a hunger for the Word of God and a desire to keep raising the spiritual bar!)  Thus, I ‘Honor’ You.

                                                

                                                 Glory To God.

Acts 6:3 “…seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom…”

1Peter 2:12 “…have your conversation honest…”

Phil.4:8 “…whatsoever things are honest,…”

Romans 13:13 “…walk honestly….not in strife and envying.”

Romans 12:17 “…provide things honest in the sight of all men.”

Luke 8:15 “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.”

#91.  ONE OF THESE DAYS

One of these days

I will do something new

Something that I have wanted to do

For a very long time.

God has been revealing to me

There are areas where ideas are dormant.

Ideas are there, but need to be awakened, aroused.

So I asked the Holy Spirit to stir them up

Like a big electric mixer from within

As by the power of the Holy Ghost 

He resurrects what I need to continue

Because for sure I need His help daily.

It is one thing to be a go getter.

It is another thing to launch out with self in control.

It is yet another thing to be led by the Holy Spirit.

That is my number one choice for sure.

So I am checking deep in my well

To see what great ideas God has stirred up.

It is kind of exciting as I think about the possibilities.

Even expectantly as well.

I don't go fishing in doubt

So these ideas will surface for me.

Faith...is what it is all about.

How about you, when is the last time

You got excited about a new idea?

Something that stirred you, motivated you?

If it's been a while you might want to pray too.

It is no secret what God can do.

Stay in touch with God for sure

Because He is the Source for all your needs.

In fact, He has no limits whatsoever so believe.

If anyone knows how to give, bless, encourage

It is God and He asks you to believe and receive.

Let today be 'One Of These Days'!!

#86.  Just Do It...Now

When you know in your heart
Something specific you are to do
Why waste time or ponder over the task
Rather than getting started immediately?

Time wasted is moments not to be regained.
Moments that by the day's end
Have resulted in seconds, minutes, hours.
Wasted moments are not your friend.

Time is money, time is currency, think.
Time is awaiting your instruction, your application.
When you produce effectively there is edification
When that hour of labour is completed, done.

Why not cause the edification to be prolonged
As your time is used to create, accomplish,complete.
Feelings of fatigue are crucified, replaced with determination
Knowing your goals with God's help, you will meet.

In pleasing God you will be pleasured as well.
Working as a team is a wise thing to do.
Ask the Holy Spirit to inspire, lead, guide 
As for Him you commit to make time... work for YOU!

Allow your mind to create a picture of the possibilities
As your Servant, time... awaits your instruction, 'tis true!
Create Top 10 Things To Do, prioritize them too.
Day 1:TIME... Serving You, Resulting in BREAKTHROUGH!!

#84. Questions For You

Have you ever read a poem that is full of questions?

Do you give your day a theme?

Do you prophesy to your day?

Do you proclaim a day of ideas?

Do you then expect to receive ideas?

Did you learn how to be a receiver?

Do you have faith to receive?

Do you read the Word of God

So you will increase faith?

Do  you listen to the Word of God

To increase your faith?

Do you know Jesus is watching you 24/7?

Do you have conversations with him daily?

Do you listen for him to speak or is it one way?

Do you know the importance of showing honour?

Did you welcome the Holy Spirit with praises?

Did you enter His presence the scriptural way?

Do you know what it is to be engulfed with His Presence?

Do you want more of the Holy Spirit in your life?

How do you receive from Him?

Do you teach your family how to mature spiritually?

Do you handle adversity wisely?

Do you think you could look Jesus in the eye

If you could see Him face to face?

Would there be instant conviction

Or would there be deep appreciation?

Do you think of Calvary and all Jesus did for you?

Do you have a burden for the lost souls?

How many people have you talked to

About Jesus in the last two weeks?

Did you wait on the leading of the Holy Spirit

Before you started to witness to each one?

Do you get ahead of the Lord ever?

Do you need to speed up a bit?

Do you know what gifts

The Holy Spirit put in you?

Do you know what you assignment is?

Do you think you need to be more refined?

Do you have times of introspection?

Do you purposely take time to think?

When is the last time you were a good friend?

Who did you show honour to today?

Who do you have a passion to help?

Why haven't you written questions down like this?

When I started I said all questions

So what I do to end this I'm not so sure

Yet what ever questions you do not

Have the answers for then I pray

You will within one day

And you too will write out questions

Because you will learn that answers come

Once the questions have been asked

So this is my question for you:

Please

Will you do this too?

#83.  Be Happy

When the river of life is flowing 

This is not the time to stop.

Go with the flow and keep on going

'Til you think you're gonna drop!

If... that is how the Holy Spirit leads you

I mean...'cause sometimes He does precisely that

Plus He pours out an anointing to make it possible.

Makes me want to 'tip my hat'....

As the expression goes...it is easy to forget

The Holy Spirit is here to help us in everything.

We are not alone ever, unless we walk away from him.

He helps us talk, walk, work, even sing.

He is God...and cares for us more than we do.

That...is a lot of love and a lot of patience too.

Speaking for myself at least cause if I were God

I'm not telling what I would do!

So I'll just let God be God because I have learned

That he loves me so much He will change me

If I just yield myself, my mind, will, emotions

And the Master Potter does it supernaturally.

It is actually quite amazing indeed...not as the world thinks.

They think elbow grease accomplishes everything, uh oh...

God gave you everything you have got, don't forget that truth

As into the world...you...GO.

We are all called to let our light shine.

The Great Commission is not for a select few.

So how is God able to use you lately...

What...through you...does He do?

Or is the river blocked up...I hope not!

You know deep within...if you are free.

If you are not, then make a change right now.

A minor change and see reality.

The Holy Spirit will reveal what is blocking the flow.

Ask Him exactly what to do

Because he loves to talk

And will clearly instruct you.

Follow the instruction and you will be free.

Meanwhile, remember whom the Son sets free

Is free indeed....Jesus paid the price so stay free.

I pray...and by the way...it is okay to also Be Happy!!

#82  Minor Changes

So what if you can't sleep...make the most of the time.

Get up...like I just did, with peace in my heart, alert

Thankful for so many things, especially good health,

No pain 'cause Jesus is my healer, I don't even hurt.

He can heal so many areas in such a little time

It is just a matter of taking time to believe & receive.

God is a lot bigger than our problems, that is for sure!

Grab some scriptures to apply to your problem & believe!

When we embrace the Word of God wholeheartedly

We are embracing God Himself...absolutely!

So why not decrease the problem by increasing God.

God within us...more each day... means victory.

One little tiny change, one minor change can be made

By everyone and quite easily too...

Increase the number of chapters you read in the Word daily

By one or even two...minor change for each of you.

Soon it will be a habit and there will be more Word in you.

That is a positive wonderful habit to establish.

The bit of time to do so

You likely won't even miss.

Once that habit is established

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you

Another area where you can make a minor change.

He'll show you, maybe even two.

Since I started I am now off coffee, tea,  & carbonated drinks too.

It wasn't as hard as I  thought it would be.

In fact, the hardest part was making the decision.

With Christ in us, minor changes happen quite easily. 

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves

We are not in this spiritual battle alone.

The Holy Spirit is our Teacher, Helper, Master Mentor

And talking with Him doesn't even require a phone.

So I pray you make a list of minor changes to work on

In the near future and pray for others too.

The Family of God needs to support each other.

Meanwhile I pray success for each of you.

#81.  THOUGHTS OF FAMILY

Not everyone sees family members regularly

Sometimes there is great separation geographically

Sometimes the separation is caused spiritually

Sometimes it is God...protecting you

When you reach out with love

In an effort to help

And are rejected

Remember this

Spiritual 

Battle

Daily

It Hurts

It Hurts A Lot

Because Rejection Hurts

Yet When You Make A Wise Decision

To Forgive And Forgive And Forgive Again

You Know Deep Within You Are Doing Right

You Are Undoubtedly Pleasing Jesus Big Time

Is There Anything Else More Important Than That

No Matter How Hard You Try You Can Not Please All

So When You Decide To Please Jesus You Win Every Time

How You Handle Rejection And Disappointment Is Up To You

Handle It With God's Help And You Will Get Through Successfully

He Uses These Painful Experiences In Our Lives To Help Us Oft Times

Though We Do Not Always Recognize The Lesson To Learn From Pain

Even Though The Holy Spirit Is Our Teacher From Pain We Can Also Gain

It Is Easy To See The Hand Of God At Work When You Sit In His Presence

Because He Does Reveal Things To Us As We Focus And Prepare To Receive

He Knows When Deep Pain Causes Our Heart To Grieve Cause He's Been There Too

Yes Jesus Knows A Whole Lot About Rejection And Pain And Grief And Conquered All

So Keep That In The Forefront Of Your Mind When You Are Hurting A Lot Cause Tis True

Not Only Did Jesus Conquer Rejection and Pain He Also Secured Victory For Us As Well

He Is An Overcomer A Conqueror Not A Victim Any More And Same Goes For You

So Chin UP And Receive All He Has For You Because God's Plans Are World Class

Lest Ye Doubt Remember Others And How They Rose To The Top Like Joseph, Moses

And The List Goes On And On And On So Put Your Name There Also Now

As In Faith And Prophetically You Proclaim That You Do Excel As Well

And You Will Continue To Excel Again And Again Because You 

Obey Your Master Mentor The Holy Spirit As Well As

Other Mentors In Your Life Which Is Good

In Fact Few Do Become Proteges

So The Fact That I Do

Have Not One

But Two

Mentors

Good

For

Me

How About You?

#80.    HOME RUN!!

When a man stands at the baseball plate and hits the ball dead on... there are Reactions!  People in the stands begin cheering for him almost immediately.  His teammates in the bullpen rise to their feet in anticipation as he runs from first base to second base safely.  Keeps on running as he heads toward third base quickly.  Some spectators get even more excited and exuberant as he makes it to third base.  When he passes short stop safely....a spectator tosses his drink in the air in jubilation as a Home Run is achieved in brief seconds!  By then the embraces of overjoyed teammates have hidden the runner beneath their embrace as the scoreboard changes in their favor.    

I said that to say this: It is not all about the runner.  The eyes are on the runner, of course, as he plays a key part in the game of baseball.  However, he is but one person on the team.  Together they are a team...although individually at times, the spotlight is on them.  If a ball is hit to second base, of course the spotlight is on the runner and the second base man.  It is a team effort.

So it is in a Christian Ministry....much teamwork is required.  God calls someone to head up a ministry, birth it....an Apostle.  A Church becomes filled with people, gradually, and the office is filled with staff.  Leaders teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but it doesn't stop there in that particular city.  Financial support is generated through Partners of the Ministry.  There is an outreach that extends beyond the immediate vicinity.  God is Global and calls for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to go forth globally.    

This requires a leader, and armour bearers, other staff also to travel to other countries.  Near and far, by car, van, limo, cab, airplane.  The cost is high, as is the amount of work required to teach via television and internet.  Plus the need to transport all the books and whatever other material is needed.  Someone must organize as when they reach the venue they must set up table to display the books, DVD's, CD's, etc.  Done as unto the Lord which means it must be done in an orderly fashion, not slipshod.  God is World Class and teaches the teachable to be like Him.  It is a high standard requiring much exacting work continually to achieve the desired results. Humility is required as well as a reduction of pride, tempers, angry outbursts.  Humanity can not be killed, the flesh must be crucified. Much prayer is part of the teamwork too.

When a standard of excellence is called for, it is a standard few even attempt, let alone achieve.  Consequently for those under such leadership, learning to raise the bar high can be stressful and quite a stretch.  Mediocrity must be left behind willingly as one steps up higher, no turning back.  The flesh dies hard so when new habits need to be achieved; when discipline is required until a habit is birthed; there will be countless opportunities to quit, become slack, not to mention angry and frustrated.  This is when one soon learns what is on the inside because what is inside will come out.  

Whether it be words of frustration and anger or praise in the midst of it all....or a tenacity of a bulldog is shown as someone is determined to excel.  Focus will be important when the flesh is being crucified, the emotions are held in check, and time is of the essence.  In fact, focus is important 24/7 if time is of value.  Everything one does is an investment in something or someone so time is a huge factor in the value of that investment.  Time is money, time can not be replaced, time is the most precious valuable commodity to those who view time as currency.  

When looking at the big picture...can you see yourself here...where do you fit...what is your assignment in life...are you an asset to the team and are you raising the bar for excellence?  Is becoming World Class one of your goals?  If not, why?  If so, why?  When the passion within is to have World Class Excellence in your life, it will not be overlooked by others.  Your daily habits will prove to be outstanding because you learned to control a twenty four hour period and make it serve you.  Your day is your servant.  Commanding your day each morning as you give a theme for the day, whether it be a day of honor and you excel in honoring others throughout the day; or a day of order resulting in much order achieved by the day's end; with your day as your servant and a theme in mind, changes occur that were not occurring previously.

Little changes that are done consistently, become habits; habits that create huge changes in time.  One never knows how much one little email letter can grow into a book, let alone a global ministry.  God's plans are always bigger than man's biggest and best plan.  So as we reach for more and achieve, more is always available because God is a God of abundance.  Also, a God of multiplication.  When the pain of making the changes is severe, and frustration seems constant, remind yourself that God has a plan and you are working the necessary part at this time.  Yet things will not always be this difficult for this plan is simply preparation for promotion. 

The good that is being done when you lift weights at the gym can not be seen immediately.  Yet keeping one's eyes focused on the desired result helps one to persevere, endure the difficulties.  Whatever the battle you face lately I pray these words help you to chin up, stick it out, don't quit, get focused, fired up again as you regain momentum and know that you know... your labor is not in vain.  You started with a goal in mind and you will complete.  This is not all about you, it is for a greater purpose as you fulfill the assignment God has called you to do so press forward, keep climbing upward, be tenacious, you can make it, no fear, no doubts, you are called, chosen, anointed, and God does not make mistakes.  

Trust God to see you through and praise him before you get through...that is a very good idea!  In fact, it is a God idea.  Blessings and encouragement to all...ask God to show you the Big Picture and your little world won't seem so little after all.  Although as my motto says:  Small World...BIG GOD!!!  It is time for Your "HOME RUN, Too!!"

"As I was with Moses...so shall I be with thee..." I suggest reading Joshua 1:1-9. "

#78.  PROGRESSIVE BREAKTHROUGH

I see a blank page
An endless blank page
A dangerous thing to do
Because inspired writing
Is what I do day and night
It is easy to lose track of time
Plus how many pages I've written
I try not to let those thoughts distract me.
Instead I just write and write and write until
The words bring forth an answer that I needed
No longer is it hidden and out of sight, it is bright.
As you see lines extending more and more to the right
This is one way in which a pattern is formed easily for me
Not done intentionally yet it is easy to observe the formation
So I just keep writing and as is happening right now you can see
It is unintentional, inspired, is easy to use a gift from within and fun
Sometimes in life as each day unfolds and becomes months and years
Although each day holds different experiences and memories to cherish
Indeed there are also numerous days that hold disappointments, and tears
Because life provides opportunities to experience lots of  different things daily
Life also provides opportunities to make wise decisions, as your day is a servant
It is good to name a theme for your day and focus on that theme throughout the day
In fact it results in your day serving you so do not be skeptical, just give it a try; I did
After all, you have nothing to lose by doing so; plus you will see for yourself it works
For example, if your theme for the day is 'Peace' you will be more aware of peace within
Not to mention the fact that you will be more fine tuned to the peace in each environment
Plus by recognizing such peace you automatically become more thankful, more appreciative
As your day of proclaimed peace...continues...your peace is more pronounced...changing you
Such a simply way to bring change for the better... several times in one day otherwise unnoticed
Sometimes peace is not appreciated until it is gone...missing...has been replaced with a lack of peace    
So easily done yet so unnecessary to do...and to think peace is only one theme that a day can be given
The themes are endless...as are the opportunities to recognize the answers to such a proclamation daily.
Consequently, as my Mentor, Dr. Mike Murdock challenged all to apply this teaching, I challenge you.

Honour is another example of a theme you can use, as your day becomes your servant; try it, you'll see.
When honouring someone is an uppermost thought in your mind, your heart will reveal who to touch
As your gift to that person will be evidence of the fact that you took time to hear from the Holy Spirit
So as to give a gift that is something the person will like... let alone be a desire of their heart...wow
This is when the wow factor is evident...a result of caring...and caring costs but is worth it all...yes. 
Caring... costs time, thoughtfulness, taking risks, trusting, finances, prayers, listening, reaching...
Caring requires vulnerability, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit,  removing preconceived expectations,
Letting walls down, continual development of spiritual faith muscles to pass testings successfully
Caring hurts at times, yet caring helps, caring heals, caring hosts, caring is humble, caring loves
Caring comes naturally from a Supernatural God Who knows how to love and reach thru you
Because God cares for you more than anyone on this earth and God wants to honor you...
Yes, it is true, so this is the purpose of filling these stark white blank pages with words...
Not just any words... words of love, encouragement, clarity, edification, to your heart
Because God knows your need more than anyone and He uses whomever He wants
Consequently as you read please receive honor from God today with this writing...
As your heart is uplifted and your eyes see spiritually that He has not forgotten you
Nor ever will...and God knows who needs a blessing...as well how...'tis true...
Receive a poem of honor for you...from Heaven ... and release the pain now...
As on bended knee you bow...truly...it is no secret what God can do... nope.
God Bless You by opening wounds from lies of the enemy as God cleanses
God heals, God fills the wounds with love, seals them shut, lifts you up
Stronger than ever before as He prepares you for the future so glorious
That even you will be amazed at our World Class God's ability...
To not only save, heal, deliver, but absolute ability to Restore...
More is an understatement...new is too, so rejoice immediately
Because faith decrees a huge breakthrough indeed, and more
Since there are no ends to the abilities and provisions of God
He knows how to bless and where and when and whom
He has been preparing you for some time now...yep...
Little is much when God is in it, and He is so rejoice.
Not only have you been someone the enemy can't stop
You...with God's help...have finally actually arrived:
At the Mountain Top!! Did you hear that...???
You Made It To The Mountain Top!
Your eyes on Jesus...pure heart too
Clean hands and renewed mind
Qualified you for "Next"...
Next ...is at the top now
Waiting for you...
Simply Called:
BREAKTHROUGH!
PROGRESSIVE BREAKTHROUGH!!
FROM GLORY TO GLORY TO GLORY!!!

77. DETOUR


What does one do
With the wisdom and love within a heart?
It can be smothered with pain and grief
Or to another...one can impart...


A decision to do so
Would be a wise decision.
Because love smothered...dies.
Releasing the love to another ='s spiritual battle Won!


When someone does not receive your love
It is not... a dead end.
Detour: Pour that love where God leads
As your will, you...bend.


When you reach out to others
Sharing God's love and wisdom regularly
God is doing the same thing
With your family.


To harbor offense, pain, grief
Houses junk within, for sure.
Release forgiveness and reach out anew.
God will bless you for keeping your heart pure.


It is what Jesus would do...reach!
When life is Christ centered and you obey
You 'get through' with or without grandchildren.
Even on their 'Birthday'!(not to mention your own) 


Some people hurt and say a lot. 
Some people hurt and say nothing.
Some carry pain for decades, foolishly.
Some wisely release it to their King.


When a detour points you to Jesus Christ...
THAT... is the direction to take.
Not a dead end, not a ditch, not reverse.
Make no mistake!


Detour.
Cure.
Heart
Pure!

#76  Do WHAT?

When the smile gets knocked off your face...

When your countenance drops considerably...

When tears sting your eyes simultaneously...

You know you've been 'hit'...

Can anyone relate...or is it just me?

What follows such a 'hit'...

Reveals who I follow consistently...

My Jesus... is Who I look up to for help.

I need not look 'for' Him, 'cause I... follow Him.

He and I are... 'We'!

His open arms welcome me immediately.

I release pain even before I receive understanding.

That way my heart is clear of hindrance...

I keep the pipeline free of contamination.

So understanding, the Holy Spirit can bring.

As I open up to let go, He pours into me

Words, impressions, understanding, thoughts too.

Emotions want to rule... I choose Not...that route.

Crucifying the flesh is a 'Must Do' daily, hourly...

It is the only way to successfully get through.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit convicts me

Of wrong doing on my part, sometimes not.

Always He and I converse, commune, fellowship

Until I am free of the pain, able to move forward

Because to harbor unforgiveness...means to rot.

Poison within caused by unforgiveness can be seen

Through countenance, attitude, words, and tone.

Some will discern this more than others

Yet will often know when something is wrong,

Even through the voice on the phone.

Can anyone hide...what is inside...?

Absolutely not...so do not think differently.

What is inside comes out...all in due season.

Check God's track record and you'll know

A tree is known by its' fruit...you see...

Some fruit you see, some you hear,

Some you discern within, but all tells a story.

Consequently, be a fruit inspector of 'self'

As daily...obedience, faith walking, faith talk

Brings to God much glory.

If fruit has been bruised, damaged, make a change.

Do what? Remove, prune that which must leave...

So as to prepare for more growth each day; 

Issues must be dealt with quickly and effectively

So as the Holy Spirit...not...to grieve.

When pain is felt one's immediate response

Is to open mouth and cry out

Telling others how much it hurts...

God's way differs...crying out to Him fast

Is opportunity to remove pain, fear, doubt.

Healing occurs at the speed of your ability

To believe truth, act on the Word, and receive.

Telling others of issues is healing time wasted

If heart is full of faith because...in God's Face

Is What To DO As Faith... Will BELIEVE!!

Circumstances change proportionate to yielding

To the Holy Ghost, following instructions too.

New habits established prove change within

As obedience to the voice of the Master Mentor

Proves to result in more fruit, good fruit, so "DO!"

God is no respecter of persons; change is required

For you too...Brothers, Sisters, Family of God, all.

I pray for increased spiritual growth in everyone

And that it will be seen and tasted by many

As good fruit is produced in answer to God's call.

Romans 2:11 "For there is no respect of persons with God."
