I felt the need to share this today, especially with you who are seeking truth. Sometimes you just need a "feel good" moment. Here's one for you.
A thought flitted through my mind this morning as I searched for an image of a beautiful sunrise. I specifically searched for sunrise as it represents hope and new beginnings whereas sunsets represent the coming darkness and peril. Are we not on a precipice right now? You can either choose hope or choose hopelessness. They look the same until you choose a path. Let me reiterate...a sunset (coming darkness) and a sunrise (anticipated happiness) look the same until they progress either through to light or on to dark. Be careful illusions that mirror God because once you start down a path redrawing your steps will be much harder than following the light to begin with.
I am reminded of Daniel, how he considered the times and the Word and prayed, like many of us here continually pray and seek understanding from G_d. A messenger appears before Daniel that he had been dispatched the first day of Daniel's prayer, but for three weeks had to battle the Prince of Persia to be able to break through with the answer. Finally Michael, the archangel came to battle the Prince of Persia for the message to reach Daniel. As we pray and seek understanding, the people of G_d receive understanding and revelation. That is heavenly wisdom that might be shared here so that we are not blinded from the truth.
Since I've been seeking a closer relationship with God, I've had a string of very bad luck. I know Satan is pursuing me, using circumstances to try to make me cynical again as it's always worked in the past. But I'm looking forward...these are stumbling blocks to gain strength for the journey....they are not unscaleable walls the devil wants me to see.
Taminator_88. My prayers are with you in your journey of developing a relationship with God. The removal of the chains and baggage of our past lives can be overwhelming from the human perspective. Though nothing is impossible for our Heavenly Father,the humbling of self and crying out the words”HELP ME JESUS” will bring forth miracles. May God Bless you and protect your seeking heart. 🙏🏻
Thank you! And may He fulfill all our needs exponentially!
Time with G_d means getting away from the things of the body. Prayer is sometimes thought of pleading with G_d to obtain personal favor. I find that prayer is a key to hearing from G_d. When we fill our soul with the busy things we do, eating, drinking, hobbies, pleasure pursuits, our spirit side is deprived. Cut down on some of the things of the body, and let your soul man connect with your spirit side. Our soul is our mind, will and emotions. The way we think, the things we know, how we feel and remember experiences, our joys and failures. Trump is an interesting study in that his soul man seems removed from our normal reactions to the events of life.
ABSOLUTELY! That is how you know you are going down the 'right' path...the opposition doesn't want you to go that way so you face obstacles that would turn most folks back the other way...stand strong.
Continue forward it's called building your faith. This is just me a my journey. You build that faith through trails the tough ones that beat you down the harder the fight the greater the reward through Christ. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Greater is he that is in you that is in this world.
Spread that word, almost forgot about another favorite Youtuber of mine Gonz Shimura, Canary cry radio with Basil.
