ARE YOU A MENTALLY HANDICAPPED CHRISTIAN

ARE YOU A MENTALLY HANDICAPPED CHRISTIAN

The definition of handicapped is:

Having a condition the markedly restricts ones ability to properly function physically, mentally, or socially. Viewing from the kingdom prospective, if you are a born again christian living in America, there is a very good chance that your mentally handicapped because you are programmed to think negative and "as a man thinks so is he." Proverbs 23:7 KJV Take worry for example: If you worry about finances, you have a sick mind, it's a sick mind that calls a God that cannot lie, a liar! When your mind says "my God will not supply all my need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 MHV (mentally handicapped version) When your in your right mind, there's no worry because your mind says, "my God will supply all my need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 KJV

If you display one or more of the following symptoms then you are most likely mentally disabled: worry, fret, depression, despondency, anger, bitterness, unable to be completely honest, withdrawn, negative, critical, judgmental, gossipy, always broke, complainer, fault finder, lustful, filthy minded, or have a filthy mouth. There are many signs of mental illness such as you being "impure and immoral, an idolater, or adulterer, or one those who participate in homosexuality, [10] a cheat (swindler or thief), or greedy grasper, or drunkard, or foulmouthed reviler and slanderer, or extortioner and robber." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 AMP It all stems from  a sickness in the head, caused by your old sinful nature. These are the more pronounced negative signs of mental sickness, but there are many signs that are more easily covered up, such as greed, self righteousness, jealousy, fear, anxiety, doubt and unbelief. 

There are degrees of mental illness, from mild to severe. Severe is obvious and fatal. A severely mentally handicapped Christian is one suffers from one or more of the above symptoms but denies it or justifies it. I know, you are thinking, these are a list of sins, not mental illness, but what you are not understanding is, after you are born again, sin becomes a choice. Let Me ask you a question, "how can you who died to sin live in it any longer? [3] Are you ignorant of the fact that all born again Christians who have been baptized into Me, were baptized into My death? [4] You were buried therefore with Me by the baptism into death, so that just as I was raised from the dead by the glorious power of My Father, so you too can habitually live and behave in newness of life, with a new mind. 

[5] For if you have become one with Me by sharing a death like Mine, you are also one with Me in sharing My resurrection with a new mind and a new life, lived for My Father in kingdom power. [6] You know that your old (unrenewed) mind and self, was nailed to the cross with Me in order that your mind and body which was the instrument of sin, might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that you no longer be the slaves of sin." Romans 6:2-6 AMP

Here's the bottom line: before being born again, you were a slave to sin and had no choice, however when you are born again you are no longer a slave, and you are free to choose. Choose to sin or not to sin! If you choose to sin after I set you free, you are mentally sick and need your mind renewed. Stop blaming everyone else and "be renewed in the spirit of your mind; [24] Then put on the new man, which like your Father God, is created in righteousness and true holiness. [25] then with your new Mind put away lying, and speak truth to every man: for you are members one of another.

[26] You can Be angry at sin, and but don't sin by being angry at a person: and never go to sleep angry: [27] because this will give a place for the devil to get into your mind again. [28] If you were a thief, just stop stealing: and get a job, working honestly with your hands the thing which is good, that you may have to give to him that is in need. [29] Don't let any garbage communication proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is good to build people up, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 

[30] You must stop grieving the Holy Spirit with mentally sick choices, because He is the one who sealed your salvation until the day of your redemption. [31] He will be grieved if you don't get rid of all your stupid bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, so just choose to put it away from you, along with all malice: [32] Then with your new mind, choose to be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as I have forgiven you." Ephesians 4:22-32 KJV 

If you are spiritually mentally handicapped after you are born again, you are choosing to be! Ask Me for a new mind every day, and you will be amazed because here is how the new mind thinks! It thinks on "whatever is true and pure, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is lovely and lovable, and whatever is kind. So if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, you will be thinking on these things and fixing your minds on them" and you mental illness will disappear. Philippians 4:8 AMP

A TRUE FRIEND IS A KINGDOM FRIEND

A TRUE FRIEND IS A KINGDOM FRIEND

How much does emotional pain weigh? How heavy is sorrow? They can't be measured in pounds and ounces, but they can weigh so much that they kill many everyday. They can easily crush the life out of the most intelligence of humans. My kingdom is prepared for the sorrow causing acts of terror, that suddenly strike from the kingdom of darkness. People who carry My heart, called friends, move into action led by compassion, and join their heart with the hurting heart and lift the crushing part of the sorrow. "A  kingdom friend loves at all times, and is born, like a brother, for the tough times, of emotional pain and crushing sorrow." Proverbs 17:17 

This friendship not an explainable thing, nor can you dissect it using detailed charts. You will not find it taught in the worlds finest university's. It comes only from My kingdom, it is part of My compassion class, experienced in My school of hard knocks. A school where graduation is always in the morning! My heart is shared with My students as they weep and endure deep pain and sorrow for a night, but graduate with joy in the morning." Psalm 30:5 

The foundation of this joy diploma, is hope. Now I will reveal the mystery, that explains the difference between an earthly friend and a kingdom friend, who carries My heart! It's a supernatural act of a heart transfusion, a transferring of hope that is passed when two hearts are joined by Me. When I see a heart that is going through the born again process, I know it must go through many classes on tribulation. Those who have successfully completed the course are able to be moved with compassion.

"Moreover the graduates are full of joy now! They know how to exult and triumph in troubles and rejoice in sufferings. They also know this is a necessary process for every believer because, pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. [4] And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character of this sort produces the habit of joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. [5] Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames you, for Father's love is constantly being poured out in your hearts through the Holy Spirit, both personally and by a kingdom friend, who has been given to you." Romans 5:3-5 AMP

A man that hath friends must himself be friendly in the natural: but then there is the kingdom friend, filled with My heart of compassion, constantly transferring hope that makes the weight of sorrow bearable, and through it all, sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24  Kingdom friends are not in abundance, but I have enough to go around. Right now you are in one of three places, you are either needing a kingdom friend, in school preparing to be a kingdom friend, or you have graduated, filled with compassion and are prepared to be a kingdom friend! 

Just remember, I was falsely accused of many things, but this one was true, "The Son of man ...is a friend of publicans and sinners..." because I was always moved with compassion! Matthew 11:19 KJV

WORKING-OUT IN THE KINGDOM

WORKING-OUT IN THE KINGDOM

On earth physical exercise is optional but in the kingdom Spiritual exercise is mandatory. Your are saved by grace, through faith; and not by anything that yo do: it is a gift from Me: [9] Not because you are spiritually working out, doing a whole lot of good things for people, so you can brag about what you did to earn your salvation." Ephesians 2:8-9 

Always, always, alway, remember, "as many as receive and welcome Me, into their hearts to be the center of their life, I give the authority (power, privilege, right) to become a son and daughter of My Father and a joint heir to the throne, this goes for all who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) My name--" John 1:12 AMP 

However after I save your soul, you must work to get what I have done on the inside to show on the outside. This is called character change. Your bad language, your habits, the pornography, the sleeping around, it all has to go! I am not going to click the mouse for you, I am not going to flush the weed down the toilet, you are. These are spiritual exercises that allow your unsaved family and friends to see that you are a child of Mine now. 

This is where your part comes in. I did the part that you couldn't, by removing your sin, and giving you the power to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. [13] For it is actually Me which working in you giving you the desire to change your habits and lifestyle. [15] So that you may be blameless and harmless, sons and daughters of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Philippians 2:12-13,15 KJV

"So now you must start doing all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining against Me and questioning and doubting yourselves, you can do this thing with My help." Philippians 2:14 OK lets see what we can clean up, as I help you work out today!

WOW! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SECURITY?

WOW! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SECURITY?

Remember the good ole days?

What happened? Your streets used to be safe, your bank account secure, your doctor was looking out for your health, the police were protecting you, your schools taught decency, and respect, but all has suddenly changed. Remember the days when: you could count on your retirement, 401K, and insurance company, your phone conversations were private, and you believed government reports! Remember when a handshake sealed a deal, lost items were returned and the words sir, mam and thank you were always heard, when younger addressed older. It all changed because He who leans on, trusts in, and is confident of his own mind and heart is a self-confident fool, ..." Proverbs 28:26 AMP

Those were the days when your nation trusted and had confidence in Me and My word. I protected your land because My word was the undergirding rule of your land. "As a result, I said, I would make you the head, and not the tail; and you would remain above only, and you would not be beneath any country, but only if you heeded My commandments and were watchful to do them, [14] never turning aside from any of the words which I commanded you. You were not to side with the right wing or the left wing, or go after the gods of new age, in order to be politically correct! 

Your leaders went majorly wrong, when they decided to be politically correct and kick Me out of your land, they forgot that all My blessings, and protective forces follow Me! "As a result all these curses are coming upon you and overtaking you: This was the deal if you threw Me out, "Cursed would you be in the city and cursed shall you be in the field. [19] Cursed would you be when you come in and cursed would you be when you go out. [20] I would send you curses, confusion, and rebuke in every enterprise to which you set your hand, until you were destroyed, perishing quickly because of the evil of your doings, and because you have expelled Me. 

[21] I would make pestilence, like aids, and STD cling to you until it consumed you from the land which you possess. [23] The heavens over your head would be brass and the earth under you as iron. [24] I would make the rain of your land powdered soil and dust; from the heavens it would come down upon you until you were destroyed. [29] And you would grope at noonday as the blind grope in darkness. And you would work 3 jobs and still not prosper in your ways; and you would be only oppressed and robbed continually, by your government and there would be no one to save you. 

[30] You would betroth a wife, but another man would sleep with her; because sleeping around, and hooking up has become normal. You would build a house, but could not afford to live in it; you would plant a vineyard, but because of taxes others would gather its grapes. [32] Your sons and daughters would be given to government agency's, and your eyes would see them and tear up with longing for them  everyday; and there would be no power in your hands to get them back.  [33] Islamic nations which you have not known, would eat up the fruit of your land and of all your labors, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually by their sharia law. 

You would beget sons and daughters but not enjoy them, because they would go into government mind control from preschool to college.  The atheists among you would mount up higher and higher above you, and you would come down lower and lower, even though you are in the majority [44] and now they would be the head, and you the tail. [45] All these curses would come upon you and pursue you and overtake you till you are destroyed, because I was kicked out of your land! [48] You were warned that you would serve your enemies, that I would send against you." Deuteronomy 28:13-16,19-21,23-24,29-30,32-33,36,41,43-45,47-48 AMP

Now here is the good news, in spite of what happens to the nation you live in, for all those who have been born again, sold out and have pledged allegiance only to My kingdom and My Father, all My blessings will still come on you, and overtake you, if you will continue to listen to My voice. [8] I shall command My blessings upon you in your storehouses, and in all that thou set your hand to do; and I shall bless you in the place which I will give you. [9] I will establish you as a holy people unto Myself, as I swore to you, if you would keep the commandments I gave you, and walk in My ways. [10] All the people of the earth will see that you are called by My name; and they will threaten you but shall be afraid to touch you.' Deuteronomy 28:2,8-10 KJV

THERE ARE NO RUTS IN MY KINGDOM

THERE ARE NO RUTS IN MY KINGDOM

Does it seem like you are stuck in a rut, experiencing the same old, same old, where nothing changes. A rut has been described as a grave with the ends kicked out. When you are in one long enough, it has a definite feel of death. When you first came to Me, life was exciting and changing daily. My mercy made things new every morning: because My faithfulness is SOoooo great." Lamentations 3:23 All things were becoming new every time you turned around, but suddenly it stopped.  You still prayed, still read your bible, so why did you seem to flatline?

The answer is in two words, "surrender stopped". What your understanding is, everything in My kingdom volunteer, nothing is forced in My kingdom, that's the rule of order in the kingdom of darkness. Everything in My kingdom is voluntary, you must personally volunteer for everything, because it's always a matter of your choice. However the choice is always two fold. You must volunteer to lay something old down in order to volunteer to pick up something new! When I said to the disciples, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. [20] And they volunteered to leave their businesses behind and volunteered to follow Me." Matthew 4:19-20 KJV

Constant change for the better, requires constant surrender of the worse. There are thousands of little things, along with the big things that I need to change in your life, in order for you to have access to My full power. The world has yet to see the works I will do through a human that is fully surrendered. I promise you that, your rut is caused by a fear of surrendering something, or someone. Maybe it's a lust, a dream, money, a bitterness, a habit, a boyfriend, or a girlfriend, but it is something that you know, that My Spirit has said, it's got to go, in order to pick up the new thing I have for you! You know exactly what you are stuck on!

You have tried to ignore it, skirt around it, make deals with Me, and even argue with Me, and when that all failed, you just denied it, and now you find yourself in a rut, blaming Me. "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. [25] Whoever stops surrendering his old life will get stuck in a rut and lose it: but whoever will continually surrender his old life for My sake, will get out of his rut and find his new eternal life every morning." Matthew 16:24-25 Things will once again be new every morning! Just give it up and get moving again! I am always moving, you are the one that's stuck, give it up, it's not worth it! Take it serious because you will die there!

ON THE EDGE OF HELL AND BEING PUSHED

ON THE EDGE OF HELL AND BEING PUSHED

For just a moment lets jump into the future:

The heat coming up from the dark pit is unimaginable, it seems like it would kill anyone instantly, yet there are the screams of humans in all languages coming from the overheated dark hole. Now powerful inescapable hands are pushing you to the edge of this place of horror! From the time you were a child you heard people joke about this place called hell, but now you realize this is no joke at all! The edge is only a few feet away and you are screaming, what did I do to deserve this? You are shocked at the answer! NOTHING! That's right you did nothing to prepare for eternity. "How did you ever think you would escape appropriate retribution for sin, if you neglected and refuse to pay attention to such a great salvation as I offered to you? Did you think you could let it drift past you forever? For I myself declared it from the very start, and then it was confirmed to you by My followers, and proved to be real and genuine by those who personally heard Me speak." Hebrews 2:3 AMP

You were born in sin, which was no fault of yours, and as a baby and child you were exempted from this moment by My Father, but the moment you knew right from wrong, this fiery pit called hell became your destiny unless you individually chose to be exempted from it. Exemption was no longer automatic after you reached the age where you knew wrong. What wrong you ask?  The wrong of doing nothing! When you leave your physical body, I will say to all those who chose to do nothing, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

[42] For I was an hungry, and you chose to do nothing and gave Me nothing to eat: I was thirsty, you chose to do nothing and gave Me nothing to drink: [43] I was a stranger, you chose to do nothing and you left Me outside: naked, and you gave Me nothing to put on, while your closet was full: sick, and in prison, and you chose to do nothing and never came to see Me. [44] Then you are going to ask Me, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and choose to do nothing for you? [45] Here's My answer, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did not choose to do it for one of the least of these, the orphan, the at risk neglected children, the widow, the poor, those in jail, and in the hospital and nursing homes, you chose to not do it to me. [46] And you shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the born again, righteous will enter life eternal with Me." Matthew 25:41-46 KJV

If you say I was too busy, then you neglected your salvation and that's why you are being pushed toward the edge now! Be honest with yourself, you put the whole religious thing off and death took you by surprise. Once he said, Gotcha! It was all over, there was no one on earth or in heaven that could help you! This is the word you should have listen to, I personally explained to you, that you were born in water in your mothers womb, but your were born in sin, because of Adam's choice, then because of My choice to die on a cross for your sin, you had to choose to be born over again. "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless you are born again (anew, from above), you cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God." John 3:3 AMP If you did nothing but chose to stay politically correct, you made the worst mistake of your eternal existence, and that's why you are now being pushed over the edge. The place where all the jokes have turned to screams. 

WAIT: Now let's come back to the present: I have some real good news, because you are reading this, so your death has not taken place yet!  If you are not born again, please do not neglect what I did for you, one more second, take My offer now and follow Me. Now here is the sign you are born again, if out of love, you decide to give your life to feeding, clothing, visiting and taking Me in, you are good! Oh and here are some added signs that you will never be near the edge of hell: These are some signs that will follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; and if they accidentally pick up a deadly reptile; or if they should happen to drink a poisoned drink, it will not hurt them; they will also lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." Mark 16:17-18

My Father and I paid too big a price for you to neglect this thing called salvation. You must choose, look and see, according to all the signs, are you born again?

YOU ARE IN A WORLD OF HURT

YOU ARE IN A WORLD OF HURT

Pain, and sorrow are wreaking havoc everywhere, human trafficking, innocent people getting knocked down in the streets as a game, drug addiction at epidemic stages, the world economy collapsing, while millions go to bed hungry everyday.  Unclean spirits now possess the minds of millions of people tainting everything with sexual perversion of some type. This deplorable situation has come about "because when they knew and recognized Me as God, they did not honor and glorify Me as God or give Me thanks. But instead they put Me out of everything. When they kicked Me off public property they became futile and godless in their thinking with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations and their senseless minds were darkened. [22] Claiming to be wise, they became fools professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves."  Romans 1:21-22 AMP

You as a believer, cannot be part of this world if you are going to rescue any of those you know and love, out of it! Face it, you are living in a doom and gloom world, because sin is taking full effect and now bringing forth death on a grand scale. This should not be a surprise to you, as sin always brings forth death. In order to escape it, every morning you must begin to rise early, and come far above it, into My world. You must daily leave your world and spend time alone with Me and and let Me rearrange your prospective for the day or you will be destroyed by the weight of the doom and gloom. 

I have given and delivered to you the words of life from My Father and the world system hates you for it, because you are not under their authority and do not belong to the world, just as I am not of the world. [15] I did not ask Father to take you out of the world so you could speak life to those who want to be saved, but don't worry I prayed that He would keep and protect you from the evil one with his doom. [16] You are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), just as I am not of the world. [17] I am interceding for you and because of it My Father is Sanctifying you and purifying, consecrating, separating you for Himself, He is making you holy by the Truth; I am the Word and I am Truth. 

[18] Just as He sent Me into the world, I also have sent you into the world. [19] Listen it was for your sake and on your behalf I sanctified (dedicated, consecrated) Myself to endure the cross, that you also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth. [20] Neither for you alone do I intercede, it is not for your sake only that I make My requests to Father, but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through your words and teachings. 

The goal of My intercession is that you all may be one, just as My Father is in Me and I in Him, that you can daily escape the world of hurt and be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that My Father has sent Me. [22] With My blood I have given to you the glory and honor which My Father gave Me, that you may be one even as We are one: [23] I in you and Father in Me, in order that you may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and definitely recognize that Father sent Me and that He loves you the same as He love Me, His only begotten Son." John 17:14-23 AMP

You have only a short time before it all comes down, so don't hesitate to begin escaping it!  Start now to "Lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset you, so you can get alone with Me and then run daily through the world of hurt, with patience the race that I set before you" Hebrews 12:1 

ARE YOU PUTTING TOO MUCH FAITH IN YOUR PASTOR?

ARE YOU PUTTING TOO MUCH FAITH IN YOUR PASTOR?

Some of you I know are putting to much faith in your pastor, because you never really read My word in depth for yourself. You are trusting your eternity in a man's hands, and did you know he cannot speak for you when you attempt to enter heaven or stand in your place should you enter hell. Some of you may have a pastor, that's more interested in a big church than you being right with Me, so he may be leaving out the essential parts and only preach the fun parts. So just in case you don't read your bible and and wait on Me for yourself and your pastor didn't tell you everything, here are a few essentials, to entering the kingdom:

Please keep in mind, none of the following includes past repented sin, that's gone forever! The following only includes things you are continuing to do as a practice, after My blood has cleansed you from sin.

The first is a must, If your pastor did not tell you about being born again, he is not a pastor! "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God."  John 3:3 AMP If you have not heard this before, change churches now!

The Second one which many pastors seem to avoid is sexual sin, like shacking up, moving in with your girlfriend or boyfriend, one night stands or lets just call it all the "R" rated stuff. This includes, fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you; For this you should know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in My kingdom." Ephesians 5:3,5 KJV You should have no problem in this area, if sex is a major issue get married! 

If you cannot control your sexual urges and restrain your passions, you should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion and tortured continually with ungratified desire." 1 Corinthians 7:9 AMP and please don't think the live together for tax purposes excuse, will be an exception, it won't!

This third one is the one that may surprise you, and this will be a shocker for the majority of what most would call good people.: If you do not forgive, neither will My Father in heaven forgive your sins, failings and shortcomings." Mark 11:26 AMP I really hope you understand the importance of this one, I dealt with this more than any other sin. Your lack of forgiveness, including, hatred, bitterness, resentment, and revenge, will cancel your salvation faster than any other sin!

My Father is very adamant about this one. He is very slow to anger but this one He deals with harshly! After all that He did to forgive humans, sacrificing Me, his only son, and then for them not to forgive someone else, it is unthinkable! "My heavenly Father will deal with every one of you, harshly if you do not freely forgive your brother from your heart his offenses." Matthew 18:34-35 AMP

Ok that's it, that's the ones that many pastors are not telling you about, because their crowds go way down, and the income drops tremendously. However you should also know the gates will never be overcrowded, because of these issues. Oh this I know they never told you, "the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads to eternal life, and few are those who find it." Matthew 7:14 AMP No matter how good your pastor is, you still need to start getting alone with Me and check things out for yourself. The eternal life you save, just may be your own!

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE LOSING EVERYTHING

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE LOSING EVERYTHING

Easy come easy go, is a flippant attitude possessed by those who did not work hard for what they have. It was either inherited or handed to them. They may have won it or were born into it, however the easy go still is not a reality, because of the deceitfulness of riches. But what about you who have worked your finger to the bone and worked night and day to get what you have, and then are faced with the choice of following Me, or staying with your stuff! Saying I surrender all, is simple, thinking you have done it is also easy,  doing it, that's different. "Any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say good-bye to) all that he has cannot be My disciple." Luke 14:33 AMP

Material goods, such as cars, boats, houses, lands, buildings all represent riches, and in themselves are just objects for use by man. However they possess a strange power when they begin to accumulate in the hands of an individual that works night and day to acquire them.  There is something strange that happens in the heart of a man because these things grab hold and give the impression that the man's value is determined by their abundance. This is the deceit of riches! For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life in the eternal kingdom of God? [37] For what can a man give as an exchange (a compensation, a ransom, in return) for his blessed life in the eternal kingdom of God?" Mark 8:36-37 AMP You came into the world naked and that's the way your going out!

If you said, "I surrender all", I took you seriously, and it now belongs to Me, but because riches are so deceptive you will think you are going to die if I begin to take them. The deception is so well hidden, that you never realized you were basing your value and self worth on them. It becomes very obvious when you go through the dark valley of the stripping process, and you feel like you are loosing everything. No, you are actually gaining everything, you are just in the valley of the shadow of death to self, to gain the kingdom life, where I become everything to you! After this process is over you will still have to "guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); always keeping in mind that, a man's life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs." Luke 12:15 AMP

The process is very hard on you flesh, pride and ego, which are all enemies of the cross. Right now it seems that all is lost and there is no earthly way out, yet that's the way it's supposed to be. NO EARTHLY WAY OUT! You may have said that I am the way, but for it to be reality, you must actually experience Me being your only Way! You must come to the end of everything in order for this to happen, stripped of everything that you have ever trusted or depended on, including persons, places and things. I know you think you are going to physically die because it hurts so bad, but it's only your old nature that's being put to death, " your weeping will endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5 AMP 

You are never for a moment alone, in this process, "even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, do not fear any evil: because I am with you; My rod and My staff will comfort you." Psalm 23:4 KJV Every believer must go through the stripping process in order to put on the new man, and if they don't, "then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things will creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless in your life." Mark 4:19 AMP

Everyone goes through trials and tribulations, but there are those times in your life that they seem to come way too fast and in multiples to where you feel that the light of life is going to be put out. It's at these points you are most tempted to scream out, WHY? There is a big danger here, because the father of lies waits for your weakest moment to destroy your belief system. He is so anxious to answer this question with dozens of lies, knowing you are at your lowest point and will find it difficult to fight back!

There are periods when the business of life takes priority and squeezes the time in My presence to almost nothing, couple that with the multitude of unbelievers in everyday life, surrounding you with advice, none of which is kingdom! This sets the atmosphere for the perfect spiritual storm! "Yes, because truth is lacking, and you who have given your life to Me and departed from evil, you make yourself a prey and a prime target, without Godly intercessors surrounding you! "However, I saw it coming, and it has displeased Me, that you are outnumbered and there was no justice for you. [16] And I saw that there was no man and wondered why there was no intercessor, no one to intervene on your behalf for truth and right; Where is your protection? Don't you know that any time your priorities are wrong, you leave yourself wide open, to be shot by the enemy?

Therefore with My own arm I will bring you victory, and with My with own righteousness and having the Spirit without measure, I will sustained you. [17] For I will put  righteousness, on you, as a breastplate or bullet proof vest, and salvation as a helmet upon your head; and now because I love you, I am wearing garments of vengeance for clothing and I am clad with zeal and furious divine jealousy as a cloak. [18] According as the enemies' deeds deserve, so will I repay wrath to your adversaries, recompense to your enemies;... [19] As the result of My intervention unbelievers shall reverently fear My name in the west, and see My glory from the rising of the sun. All your friends shall know that, when the enemy shall come in, like a flood the Spirit of your Lord will lift up a standard against him, and put him to flight for I will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Creator drives. 

[20] I come as a Redeemer to those who are born again, who turn from transgression. [21] As for Me, this is My covenant or league with you, My child: My Spirit, Who is upon you and Who writes My law inwardly on your heart, and puts My words in your mouth, will not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your true, spiritual children, or out of the mouths of your grandchildren, from henceforth and forever because this will be your legacy and heritage".Isaiah 59:15-21 AMP

Heaven has a mighty flood, ready to be released, claim it now, and always keep your priorities right, surrounded by intercessors, to prevent another perfect spiritual storm!
