Some thoughts from yesterday…God is so good.
Holy Spirit, please open our eyes to how wonderful you are and how much You desire for us to live close to You always. You are so amazing and we praise You for how beautiful You are and for your matchless power that sets us free.
For far too long, Annie and I lived in the devil’s reality. We worried, had tremendous fear, anxiety, heartache, and all the rest of his reality up to our eye balls. Satan’s reality will steal, kill and destroy you.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
I often think that people think I’m not living in reality when I say some of the things God shows me or lays on my heart. All I can say is that life doesn’t get any more real than when you begin to do the Word, when you begin to follow Jesus in ways you never thought you could or would.
While I was walking today (12-30-20), the Holy Spirit said, “You can praise and thank me for Covid, for the Tri-Lateral Commission and all the rest,” just like Merlin’s books and My Word state. Immediately, I had a joy that was not my own. What a blessing it is to know Jesus!
How do I trust in the Lord with all my heart (Proverbs 3:5)? By praising Him in all things.
Praising and thanking God in all things will teach you how to live free from your own understanding. I promise you.
God inhabits fear, worry, care, dismay, anger, uncertainty, whining, my own understanding, self-pity, focusing on my hurts, etc? No, He inhabits the praises of His people. Begin to praise God and watch what He alone can do as He lifts you out of fear, worry, care, dismay, anger, uncertainty, whining, your own understanding, self-pity, focusing on my hurts, and all the rest.
God’s plans are still being carried out. His Word will come true and we can praise Him for that and experience His Presence with us no matter what. When I praise Him, all of the resources of Heaven are immediately at attention and are released into me and the situation in a way I can’t fully understand. I just need to be obedient to praise Him. The rest is up to Almighty God, to my Father.
God, You’re SO GOOD to me! I’ll sing it through eternity…
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
