Stop wrestling and surrender already!

Not sure who this is for and I had no intention of writing a blog today. It is the sabbath but I have vowed my all to God. I have vowed my life to Him and when He says speak I will. Was it easy? Nope! I have had numerous people come at me, attack me, and say I need to be heavily medicated.. I laugh at all of this now but it also allows me to know how to pray for those coming at me. I dont have to talk back but I will be honest sometimes I want to defend what God has told me. He told me again today I do not need you to defend me or what I have told you. They will see! So I am sharing this to try and help you. Jesus is against the grain of everything we have been taught by our culture. Know what the root of culture is – CULT! Do not succumb to what you see nor be deceived while walking in your valley of decision. God always wins in the end and you’re prolonging your future by your own hesitation.

When we try and negotiate with God we lose. There are many things He has told me that I was hesitant about, at first, but then He started showing me things to prove He was the one talking. I thought at first all of this stuff was my own imagination working in overdrive but then I saw it in real time. I saw what He was telling me come to pass. I began to really slow down and pay attention to things I wouldn’t normally pay attention to. I began to notice the heart of those around me. I hope you’re seeing the hearts of people around you. I hope and pray that you are paying attention to what God is trying to show you. I pray you are allowing God to heal all the brokenness that has created barriers in your life. We have all had them but Jesus is freedom. For who the Son sets free is free indeed. Take hold of your freedom. Do not worry about what others will say. We are crazy to them. 2 Cor 5:13 appears to be one of my verses to stand strong on this year. Let me tell you what this says in one of my favorite translations of the Bible, The Passion Translation. If we are out of our minds in a blissful, divine ecstasy it is for God, but if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. For it is Christ’s love that fuels our passion and motivates us, because we are absolutely convinced that he has given His life for all of us. 2 Cor 5:13,14 TPT. I added the next verse to tell people the why we are out of our minds.

Submission is your key right now. Submit all – and I do mean ALL- areas of your life over to God. He wants all of you. All of your wounds, all of your hurts, all of your brokenness, and all of your life so He can live through you. So you will have life more abundantly. What are you waiting on? Read Jonah! God wins! Read about Noah, God showed them that Noah was in fact not the crazy one. History always repeats itself and God is raising up a new standard for His (Christ’s body) church. These people you see will do everything they are told and are merely awaiting for the next instruction from the Lord. They will go against every norm we have been taught. They will speak truth. They will walk in the power and authority God had originated in Genesis. Pay attention to what a heart speaks. Pay attention to the words coming out of a person. For it is not what goes in us that defiles us but what comes out of us. Do they complain all the time, gossip, speak negatively, etc? God is exposing and I pray that people see this. I pray that we move with Him and not against Him. I pray that we keep our peace no matter what we may see. That we not backbite or even feel the need to. Those that contend with these God will contend with them. We see this all throughout the Bible. Do you believe His word? Do you believe what He has spoken for your life?

To find your joy get rhythm. Psalm 134:2 tells us how to get our joy. Lift up your hands to the sanctuary and bless the Lord. Even Johnny Cash knew how to find his joy. When you feel the blues get rhythm. 😉 that will mean something to someone. To keep your peace ask it to guard your mind and your heart. It will. I know how hard this is because I, too, have been in the eye of the storm. I have good news though! Every storm runs out of rain. Submit to the Lord and the devil will flee. See how to get rid of the devil? SUBMIT! (James 4:7) we go through the Bible so fast we do not see the cause and effect portion. You submit, resist the enemy and his attacks on your mind (with your authority and by bringing every thought under the captivity of Jesus) then he leaves. This is freedom guys! There is ultimate freedom in having your mind in check and knowing when you are under attack.

I woke up yesterday under heavy fire from the enemy. I went through my normal warfare tactics, and caught all those thoughts (rebuked them and renounced them so they couldn’t play over and over in my head), spoke to every demon trying to hit me and knew without a shadow of a doubt God was up to something. The enemy knows when some stuff is about to go down and he will do everything he thinks will deter you. He will bring up past conversation, past events, past lies, past everything to try and get control of your mind so you do not act. Dont allow that in your life anymore. God does not bring up the past. He wants you to forgive and forget it. He is doing a new thing in you. (Isaiah 43:19) He is molding you into the image and likeness of His first Son. He is transforming you into a Son of God. Jesus was meant to be the first of many. So, I knew something was up. I did not know what until God sent me to walmart. This seems to be a popular meeting ground for God these days, and myself. I have been told about a vitamin that wards off and practically cures everything that tries to hit us. They spoke of this as the cure for everything back in ancient days and I am all about homeopathic remedies. Glad you asked, black seed oil. I knew my walmart did not carry this but for some odd reason I was sent to look anyway. I did and I met someone that was looking for a vitamin to help ward off mental frailty. Being a brain injury survivor I struck up a conversation. I know the brain. I may not know much but I know the brain and I know the word of God- this is enough for me. We were chatting and she told me her mom had Alzheimer’s. I have come to find people are very open with me. It was odd at first, I will admit, but this lets me know exactly how to respond. I started teaching. I started teaching the Word. I taught about power of agreement, and how God will allow all we say. Numbers 14:28. Then I got to tell her she did not have any disease that she was healed in the name of Jesus. It was that simple. We did pray because that is what people expect but it is not necessary for healings. I came against the attacks over her mind mostly and thanked God for allowing us to meet. Her vision was restored and her brain was at peace. This is a win! We swapped phone numbers and hugged then I went a few isles over and started talking to God. He told me she received her complete healing because of that divine appointment. You see, this woman is not from my area. She had been visiting her son that lives in Germantown in Memphis, Tn, she lives in Hot Springs, Ar and was on her way home. If you know anything about these areas you know she should have traveled the interstate all the way home. (I40) She did not have to go through my small town or stop at my small walmart. I am 15 miles from I-40 and there is a walmart right off an exit. See how this should have played out had God not been involved? I started to cry, right there in walmart and praise God for what He had done for her through me. It is most amazing to see Him work. It chokes me up to even think about all the people He has already healed by these hands of mine that I submitted to Him. If I had let the devil win yesterday I wouldn’t have went to walmart. I would have stayed and fought him and trust me there was crap he was trying to feed me all the way up until the moment I walked in Walmart. I laughed a lot while his crapshoot lies were trying to infiltrate my mind. I am so glad God taught me the power of laughter when we are at war. When it is most hard to praise in that storm, and to laugh at the junk coming up is when it is most needed. You can come out of the eye.

Stop patty caking and playing around and submit already! I am not sure who you are or what you are waiting for but you’re not gonna be able to argue with Him forever. I have found it is much easier to just trust Him and say yes! Yes to anything He asks of me because the results are better than gold. Watching Him heal through me is worth more than all the money in the world. I have been in these peoples shoes. I have been so down with pain I literally could not walk. I have not been able to get out of my bed because of the breaks my body endured in that wreck. I know what they feel and I have great compassion for them. I want them healed. I want to go on this healing mission with the Lord. I never wanted to be a nurse. It was not my goal in life. I went though because I was told to. I needed that heart. I needed the heart of a healer. I needed to be a nurse first. There is a reason for everything. There is a reason for everything we have been through and what we are currently going through. He will tell you the why. You just have to ask. Sometimes it is payment for our own actions. People of this world call it karma, I call it judgement.

Having this closeness with Him is priceless. I want to help everyone get here; to ensure them it is possible. They need only to start with submission.

Have a mighty blessed day. Get in your prayer time and give Him all of you. You will not be disappointed, I promise. Oh, and something else I have learned is that when God heals you you carry the healing anointing to heal others. When your anointing and your faith collide everyone around you will see their healing. I am so excited for this! I am so ready for all of God’s people to be out of this bondage of diss-ease (disease). Jesus said to preach the gospel, and to lay hands.. He didn’t say you have to pray. I like prayer because it puts me in close contact with my Daddy but it is not necessary for people to be healed. The Kingdom of God is at hand, so close you could touch it. If people are looking at you they are looking at a walking version of the Kingdom- SUBMIT! He lives in you, right? He is all you need to move forward and not care what others will think. He says to do some crazy things but you will learn to laugh with Him and at yourself. For those of us that know how to laugh at ourselves will forever be entertained. Have fun! Have fun with all of this. I may not be easy but it can be fun. He wants to give you the world, let Him!!

I did not want to keep going 😉 God cracks me up. There were areas of my life I had issues with as well. For instance I had to walk away from people. I had to get new friends. I had to stop going places. I had to stop listening to certain music, watching certain things.. etc, surely you get the picture. And I noticed that after I did these things my life was so much more peaceful I am not sure why I hesitated now. My own human stupidity for one. I used to like comfort but now I love change. I love when He gives me a new direction. I love Him. Your obedience is out of your love for Him. When we have an obedience problem we have a love problem. Check your walk and analyze yourself. Is this hard? None of this has been easy but He is more than worth it! I promise! I promise! I promise! I will never lie to you, to anyone. I can promise you that it is more than worth anything you could ever imagine being one with God. For my Father and I are one but my Father is greater than I. This is what submission looks like, lmbo. It is a new thing! I enjoy doing what He tells me now. It is no longer an “I had” but now it is “I get”. I get to see Him move. I get to write. I get to teach. I get a better life. I get.. get it! Have a super abundantly blessed day!
