Standing in the Promise of God

I haven’t written in a while – I have pulled myself in so that I could gather my strength. It has been a tough 4 years. I have lost, been lied to, terrified to the core, my emotions beaten down, betrayed, and I have stood accused.

I was watching a sermon by Joel Osteen this morning that spoke to me. He told me that no matter what others do to try and take your blessing away from you, they cannot do it if you stand in the strength of God. God’s blessing is ordained by God, humans cannot take it away. So we just need to stand in patience.

Proverbs 16:32 NIRV

It is better to be patient than to fight. It is better to control your temper than to take a city.

My question is – what if I didn’t follow that proverb at first – what if my first inclination WAS to fight? Does that mean I lost my blessing?

The Future of the Universe Depends on All of Us

Ok – Tonight – I am going to get a little mid-evil on all your asses.

I don’t ever want to hear from any of my Sisters in Christ that they think they are causing problems on this earth. YOU ABSOLUTELY ARE NOT. YOU ARE HERE FOR A PURPOSE AND WE ALL NEED YOU TO SHINE YOUR BRIGHT LIGHT. Ok – Yeah – some crap mighta happened. Shit happens. And for some of us, yes, it was kinda bad.

Here’s the deal. Fear is an ACRONYM, Not a Verb.

Face

Everything

And

Recover

SAY WHAT HAPPENED OUT LOUD. ACKNOWLEDGE EVERYTHING THAT HAS BROUGHT YOU PAIN. Get this book: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I am going to tell you one thing that is talked about in the book, but I can’t tell you everything in the entire book, cause that would be plagiarizing.

Eckhart Tolle says this:

Negativity and Suffering Have their Roots in Time. But the belief that the future will be better than the present is not always an illusion. The present CAN be dreadful, and things can get better in the future, and often they do.

Mr. Tolle goes on to say that Usually, the future is a replica of our past. Superficial changes are possible; however, REAL transformation is rare and depends upon whether you can become present enough to dissolve the past by accessing the POWER OF NOW. So Please. Look him up. Get his book. MEDITATE.

YOU ARE A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE – OUR WORLD – OUR COUNTRY – YOUR FAMILY – Depends on you. Everyone Depends on your ability to transmute the past negative things that happened to you. AND YOU CAN DO IT!! I PROMISE!!!

You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are! – Eckhart Tolle.

Put into Christian Statements:

2 Thessalonians 1:3-12

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. God is just; He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. …………With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by HIS power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We have a duty to let go of the past, forgive ourselves and love ourselves. I know it’s hard. It is SO HARD. And it is possible.

God’s Got This

There are many devices in a man’s heart, But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand – Proverbs 19:21 ASV

I can’t tell you how many years I lived in fear.

I lived in fear at previous jobs:

What would happen if someone else screws up and then tries to blame it on me? How am I ever going to prove them wrong? I don’t always do things perfectly, I just do my best.

I lived in fear with friends:

What if I am spending all of this time in this group of people and they really don’t care about me? As soon as something happens, where they don’t need me anymore, I feel like they are just going to get rid of me. All of that hard work of making friends gone. And even worse – they are going to tell others just how bad I am.

I lived in fear with family, worrying the same basic thing:

What if all of this hard work is for nothing? All someone else has to do is open their mouth and all of my good is washed away.
