The Mouths that Speak

Leave a comment

Here just to share some thoughts with fellow saints of GOD.

It seems to me as best we are enabled by Holy Spirit we need to make NOT another decision based on the fear we are daily fed.
As best we are enabled by Holy Spirit, I pray we quickly learn to
ascertain the better places to go, and not to go;
what to do, what not to do,
what to say, what not to say,
what to buy, what not to buy,
what to read, what not to read,
what to watch, what not to watch,
what to allow ourselves to hear, and not to hear,
who to place confidence in, who to NOT place confidence in, 
based on what The Scripture and Holy Spirit within us instructs us. 

This does not mean we do not listen to counsel but it does mean that EVERY counsel that does not line up with that KNOWING in our GUT from Holy Spirit backed up by Holy Writ, we immediately reject and go in the opposite direction.
Let us carefully consider the character and the lifestyle of the mouth speaking to us. 

Based on what we have experienced, what we are experiencing, and what the Bible reveals, I suspect the evil one and those with skin on their faces he has deceived into doing his bidding are not going to stop until they have destroyed every last ounce of goodness, freedom, and human dignity on this planet. 
We might as well bend our knees to GOD alone, hold up our heads and go forth in wisdom to embrace every opportunity to live right in this wrong world, live well with what Father provides, love one another and share the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST until we open our eyes in Heaven.

10 “And now, O our God, what can we say after all of this? For once again we have abandoned your commands!
11 Your servants the prophets warned us when they said, ‘The land you are entering to possess is totally defiled by the detestable practices of the people living there. From one end to the other, the land is filled with corruption.
12 Don’t let your daughters marry their sons! Don’t take their daughters as wives for your sons. Don’t ever promote the peace and prosperity of those nations. If you follow these instructions, you will be strong and will enjoy the good things the land produces, and you will leave this prosperity to your children forever.’

13 “Now we are being punished because of our wickedness and our great guilt. But we have actually been punished far less than we deserve, for you, our God, have allowed some of us to survive as a remnant.
14 But even so, we are again breaking your commands and intermarrying with people who do these detestable things. Won’t your anger be enough to destroy us, so that even this little remnant no longer survives?
15 O Lord, God of Israel, you are just. We come before you in our guilt as nothing but an escaped remnant, though in such a condition none of us can stand in your presence.”  source

Perhaps I’m not the only One

Perhaps I am not the only one grieving what was as it is sinking in that what was shall not return.
The days of ease, the days of creature comforts for the common man, the days of plenty, freedom to go and come and just be – these days are waning. Quickly.

Perhaps I took them for granted.
Perhaps I wasted them.
I do have regrets.

Perhaps I’m not the only one.

The world has been driven mad – forming at the mouth mad – like a rabid dog. 
What I think I am seeing, spiritually speaking, is hordes of rabid dogs off-leash.
How do I protect myself from a rabid dog, Spiritually speaking?

Perhaps I’m not the only one.

May I soon cease to grieve what was and embrace what IS with eyes of faith and the arms of His Love and provision in this Land of Lack.

Perhaps I’m not the only one.

Squash to Cook

Leave a comment

I am rambling this morning. Actually, I have been rambling for a few or is that several days now. Not necessarily with unpleasant things you know good things pile in too.  Okay. On with this.

Have you ever been asking the Father about something and then after it came out you realized what you said and that it was for you quite profound and needed to be asked? 
Me too.
Here’s today’s profound: 

What am I doing to stay Your Hand rather than move Your Hand in this situation? 

I’m waiting on an answer.

And yesterday I wrote a little spiel and I want an outlet. Are you game? 

Kneading bread gives time for thoughts to roll around, not just the dough. 😊

The professionals say and in this case, I believe they are correct.

 

Little humans learn by repetition but that’s not the most effective way they learn.
They learn what they SEE and what they FEEL. (By the way, adults learn this way too.)
They learn what they WITNESS.

That which is done to others in their presence and to themselves.

 

So if we want our little ones to be KIND, they must witness adults in their lives being kind to others and to them.

 

If we want our toddlers and preschoolers to SHARE they must witness the adults in their lives sharing. They must witness their adults practicing “what I have I gladly give to you” (if they need it and it’s healthy for them. And if it’s not, perhaps we don’t need it either.)

 

If we want our little ones to be neat and orderly – what must they witness? You got it. The adults in their lives practicing neatness and order.

 

If we want our little ones to read well – They need to witness the adults in their lives reading – a lot. And be read to even while still in the womb and thereafter; even while nursing and until —–.

 

If we want our children to speak well, communicate well with dignity and respect – that’s right. This is what they must witness in and from the adults in their lives.

 

In summary, we must consistently model desirable behavior even when we don’t know they are watching.

What our children become is LARGELY what we teach them to do/be, not by our words BUT by our being.

 

I do wish I had read this when I was 21.

My children would like reading more than they do today. 🥰

End of rambling. I have squash to cook.
