Today I not only walked the Peace River bridge once, but TWICE! And... During my second time I went and walked all the way down through Gilchrist Park before walking back over the bridge. It's more than amazing that I have ZERO pain in my feet!! I even got to share my testimony with my son, who said he didn't even know that I had pain in my feet. Turned out to actually be another testimony because I always tell him about how to NOT complain because it just makes things worse... So he now got to be witness to how Mommy never complained about how much her feet always hurt! Thank you, Lord, You help me to be an example of what I believe to teach my son (and children to come!). In the last 24 hours I've written outlines for two sermons, which I've never done before. And the one I did tonight just flowed right out of me! He would bring a concept to my remembrance and then suddenly I knew what scripture to use to back it up. I was breaking down processes, all backed by the Word. I could SEE myself minister out what I was writing. It only took 45 minutes for me to write out 6 pages of a rough draft outline that was surprisingly organized!! As I keep giving things over to the Lord as He shows me, I become more and more clear and precise! Through sanctification AND faith I am seeing results WAY faster!! Even as I spoke to my son tonight, I saw a dramatic difference in HOW I could talk to him. Now I understand WHY there was such a block with him. Knowing the problem gave me access to FIX the problem, which really just means me handing it over to the Lord. It's knowing WHAT to submit, and what to lay down FIRST. Then, one step at a time, He shows me what to DO on MY end. It's a joint effort. That's a REAL relationship with the Lord. Now, upon the much, much studying the Lord's been leading me in, He had me pull up some old teachings. John Wesley, Andrew Murray and one from a woman minister from 1977. I am very curious as to what the Lord is doing... The recent dreams and things that are somehow pulling together... Sigh... What is He up to!? I proceed with caution, but... I can't see Satan asking me to pray for someone, so this leads me to believe it's the Lord. And it is so easy to pray for this person. Why!?!? Why now?! Hmm... I am not one to stay in being doublemindedness, so I will keep on the Lord till I know further. Hmm... But through the piece I read by Andrew Murray and the woman, the Lord was suddenly answering my questions!! I saw... TRUTH!! Wait... I've been saying that one can't do anything to fix a problem if they don't know what their dealing with, right!? Hmm... If the Lord is showing me truth... I KNOW WHAT I AM DEALING WITH!!!! Oh my! I've got it!! This makes sense! Hmm... If I am having such magnificent manifestations on my end concerning prayer for myself and my son, this only increases my faith. If through sanctification I am becoming more pure in conscience, motive, thought and deed, which is having an effect directly in my body for healing, as well as it trickling down to my son (and mom)... How much MORE effective would my prayers be for someone else?! I first have it work in me and become restored to henchmen minister it right back out! When God brings someone light, they have a choice to either cling to it or resist it. If they love their own ways more, they are this choosing darkness in their ignorance, leading to further deception. This deception then clouds their judgment and only worsens a guilty conscience. Constant rejection of the light due to holding onto what you want, your life... You then LOSE it! You make poor choices because you can't clearly recognize right and wrong. A seared conscience... a hardened heart BLINDS! One justifies every action. It all seems so right, though it's clearly wrong! The fruit of an unrenewed mind surfaces. Light is pushed away!! Then the light MUST go for the lift will do more damage than good because it forces choice. It's mere geographical presence bring PRESSURE! The light must.... go. It's that simple. It's an act of mercy on the one who is refusing to change, but devastation for he one being rejected. Hmm... The Lord hardens hearts by bringing the light... bringing CHOICE. It becomes one's choice to either forsake their way to follow the prompting and correction from the Lord, or to TURN their OWN face from the truth their seeing about themselves. Whom you love the most will show up in your actions- God or self. Simple. Satan hardens hearts by bringing darkness. Man hardens their own heart, ultimately by the choice to side with darkness, even if it's by default. Hmm... Lord, whatever You're doing, I don't want to hinder. Therefore, I set myself in agreement with Your plan as you show me step by step. I don't have to understand everything along the way. I will lay myself down to pray for this person, Lord, as You've shown me. I ask that You lead and guide me in all truth in this endeavor. I desire to see Your glory in the situation. Not my will, but Yours. You can count on me... I will be faithful. And I will speak life and wholeness over them. Blessing and favor. Transformation. Crucifixtion and resurrection!! I am relying on Your peace to be as my umpire. If I am wrong, please correct me!!!! Have Your way, Lord. Hmm... In the name of Jesus I bind that despair and grief. I command you to loose him and let him go! Ministering angles , go forth and minister comfort and peace. Give him strength for he is weary with doubt. Cover him with Your unconditional love. Meet him where he's at and help him to receive Your forgiveness... Your love!! Shh... I speak peace to his mind in the name of Jesus. I speak to those harassing influences and I command them to leave right now. Peace.... Peace... Like a calm after a storm... Peace... Lord, I ask that You show him mercy! Please remove Your punishment and show him mercy! Let him have rest. I plead on his behalf, Lord that he be released. Remember his sin no more. But it be removed as far as the east is from the west. Make him strong, Lord. Help him to have a softened heart, to yearn for the things of God. A renewed passion for You. A renewed strength. Clear direction. Clear purpose. Remove the clutter. Cleansed vessel. A joint heir. Thank you, Lord, for Your faithfulness. Thank you, Lord, Your commandments are life. Let Your will be made known. Be good to your servant... Turn not Your face from my request. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.
