~Things Change~

In life things change. We may or may not like it, but things change. Good or bad, things change. There is positively no doubt in my mind that everything happens for a reason.

People either change, leave or die, so that you (I) can learn to let go.  We all know that things go wrong and when there are righted we can take a deep sigh of relief.

I've heard talk of sand storms that continuously change directions. You change directions but the sand storms of life chase or follow you. Well sometimes the fate of life's issues or problems are like that.

Over and over you play this out, like some mind game with urgency just before dawn. Sometimes these storms can change the way you think and act.

Sometimes these storms can change the very essence of who you were, your life style, your mindset and even your financial status. But, some storms you cannot run from. Some storms you walk through and deal with the pain. The pain of decisions because you were thrust into it.

You may get cut and bleed. The sandstorms of life can clog your vision, but when you cannot see, you must feel your way through.

Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you, but does it?

When these sand storms arise in our lives, our first instinct is to go into shock, get scared and cry. Which is okay and long as you get a focus. Some sand storms are allowed in our lives to strengthen us, to take us on a new journey, to let us see who we truly are. 

This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. 

Note: giving in does not mean you are giving up. This giving in means, you have excepted  what has happened, but not your mindset is in survival and conquering mode.

There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. 

And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”

~Personal Victory~

But trust me, when a sand storm of this nature comes your way, you will have no choice then to focus on God, His Son Jesus and the ever presence of His Holy Spirit through prayer and praise to make it through!

I hope this reading makes sense to you. I've been there and no doubt will I will enter the Sand storms of live again. But this time you and I will be stronger!

Are you Secured By Him?

I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God, in Him I lean and rely and in Him I confidently trust. Psalm 91:2

I won't try to explain why I'm being compelled to write on this level  of subjects, but I'm humbly honored and pleased to have this glorious opportunity.

I know what I'm about to say has or will affect us. This inevitable.

Insecurity has or will happen to each of. When it happens there is a great fear that accompany it.

Once fear enters it distorts the ability for us to think clearly because we are focused on that thing whatever it maybe.

The goal of the enemy is to distract us from focusing on the power of God in our lives. Once the enemy which is the devil gets our attention we fall into disarray. This means we get very scared, feel very insecure, focus on the issue at hand and not the provision that God has provided already!

We simply do not think on God's solution, we think on the problem and we've all been there. I know I have and it is a terrible place to be.

Moving forward, I want to share something with you that if adhered to, will bring success into your and the life of those around once you share your victories.

Until we know the the security of God, we are in danger of becoming a stumbling block to other souls. We must understand what it means to be secured in God. And if we don't understand the security of and by God, of what use can we be to those who are crushed by sorrows, pain and hurt of which we know nothing?

Listen, these are the sacrifices of God:

• A broken heart, broken beyond an patching up. The word of God says this and this is Jesus speaking "He meaning God Me(Jesus) to bind the broken-hearted".The heart which has been bound up and secured by the Lord Jesus Christ will never get on a bus or train of selfishness, There is no selfishness left in it.
• Jesus said "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you."

This is a very powerful statement made by Jesus.

This is a life comforted by The Lord Jesus: It is a life that says,

• For my Lord I live;
• By my Lord I am strengthened;
• And in my Lord I am secured.

Are you hurting? Feeling insecure? Afraid?

Go to The Books of Isaiah 61:1,2; Philippians 2:1,2.
