Good morning!
Computer is back up and running.
Need I say there has been lots going on in my life with my own personal struggles and with issues with my daughter.
In my counseling session on Friday with a Christian counselor, he explained to me that I needed to pray and ask God to put me under his microscope and to really examine all areas of my life and help guide me as to areas where there may be unrepented sin and areas where I needed to clean up and "fix the holes in my umbrella of faith". As we read , sin passes through generations and brings generational curses. I remember reading about this and how the good Lord can break those curses. I have been praying fervently to God to keep showing me.
I decided yesterday I just had to get all this financial stuff in order and get my paperwork in order here at the house.
As I was cleaning and doing this, I came upon a video series that was given to an old friend and I by his sister and brother-in-law. We had never watched it. I decided yesterday was a good day. It is like a 6 series of DVD;s with a workbook. It is called The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus.
It was awesome! It is a clear an simple explanation of the World's Best Seller- the Bible. I continued to learn some very simple things that I never knew before. The one being about Lucipher and how he was thrown to the earth. I now understand about the serpent in the garden. We all here how Satan will come before us in the most angelic light. Man got me to thinking of some things that is for sure! It went on about how God is holy and does not tolerate any sin of any kind.
One thing that stuck in my mind is that Satan is a malicious playmate and a cruel companion.. hmmm so those things that we enjoy or do that are not of God but tend to bring us worldly pleasure we are enjoying with a malicious playmate .. a cruel companion.
It has made me stop and think in a different way of sin. Also when we sin we become a Victim of Mentality.. we tend to blame someone else.
Satan leaves us with our bones dry.. he eats our flesh right down to the bone. Those things only provide us temporary pleasure and leave us feeling empty. God's love fills us. With sin we become a friend of the world and an enemy of God. When we sin, we want to run and hide because of the guilt. How we hide comes in different shapes, form and circumstances.
I don't know about you.. but I sure had gotten tired of my hiding ways.
Anyway, this series is just great. I think from where I have come on my spiritual journey, I am now able to understand so much more.
Bondman, you are right. We cannot forget to pray. We need to be in God's presence each and every day , no matter how busy our daily life is.
Today, I am doing something I have never done before. I am going to a horse show. It is one that starts with a parade of the horses and carriages and the folks in their old time outfits, then there is competitons in the afternoon.
Have a wonderful day today everyone and may you choose not to be with any malicious playmates or cruel companions today.
