Live what you Love

I went downtown today to take care of a little bit of business and decided to stop and grab a bite to eat.  as I was finishing up I was telling myself to head on home so I can get about the business of writing, telling myself to get focused so I can come right in and get started. 

I get on the bus and say to myself I really like having the freedom to do what I want when I want, the freedom to ride around downtown and sightsee if I want, the freedom to think without blockages, the freedom to write, the freedom to be happy in the moment.  as I was thinking about this I was telling myself that I need employment that allows me to be that free all of the time, employment that sustains or exceeds my current financial contribution to my family and allows me to do what I love on a regular basis; writing, photography, mentoring/coaching, encouraging others, studying God's word, design/styling.  the thought comes that God will make a way, if it is God's will He will make this thing possible, whether it's right now or in two years, He will make it happen.  funny thing is I feel it's going to happen soon. 

why do I feel that way because my next "intuitive" thought was, it's going to be a "suddenly" movement, it will happen before you know it.  you know that it took a while for you to get in the place that God wants you in, to get ready for His blessing but this thing is about to happen "suddenly", it will look like no effort went into it at all, like you had not been eagerly waiting for God to do it to those on the outside looking in.

I tell myself to get to writing, no excuses, get it done.  meet the deadline.

shortly after that I move from one seat to another on the bus that brings me closer to the front and I begin looking out of the windows and suddenly I see this slogan "Live what you Love", I instantly see that as confirmation for the just previous spirit self conversation.  if I am doing the things that I love everyday then it will make my living in freedom part so much easier to accomplish.  if I stick to the calling that God has over my life then it will happen; Proverbs 18:16 says that a man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.  my gift and love of all of the things previously mentioned, as well as others, will make room for me to live that life of freedom because God's word says so, because He promised me it would. 

another part to that intuitive thought was that I will initially have to start this on my own but it will make a way for my husband to eventually join me on the freedom path.  again that is funny to me because that is exactly what is happening, I've started this journey on my own, with my husband's support but not his hands on involvement.  I am totally so excited about the move of God in my life and the things He has already done, is doing and is about to do!

Live what you Love wonderful people!

Why would you keep trying to talk to a snake that is trying to bite you?

Why would you keep trying to talk to a snake that is trying to bite you?

I was on the phone with a friend and she and i were talking about some things going on in her present and my past and how her communicating with certain people was not high on her priority list.  I told her i understood and asked "why would you keep talking to a snake that is trying to bite you?".  It is a very valid question because what are you really thinking in the midst of that conversation?  Are you thinking that if you talked enough the snake would change it's mind?  Or if you became it's friend it would decide it liked you too much to harm you?  Not going to happen, that nasty thing, even if it did grow to like you, is going to revert back to what it was inherently put on this earth to do...strike you, dig into your flesh with it's poisonous fangs.

Spiritually speaking, recently i heard that the problem with some Christians is that they refuse to talk to the devil and tell him what they won't take from him anymore.  But my question remains in the same vain; is talking to the devil going to make him give you your stuff back?  I was talking with a sister in Christ a couple of weeks ago and she said to me that when she was in the street doing wrong, if she saw something she wanted she took it and it belonged to her at that point.  The victim coming to her and talking to her about it and asking for their stuff back wasn't going to make her give it back to them, they would have to fight her for it.

Scripture says in Matt 11:12 KJV "and from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.", translated that means that the kingdom has been attacked over and over and violent men have tried to take it.  So i got to thinking about that verse right there and what it meant to me because no one has ever been able to break it down for me and most times i hear it it is being used or twisted to have a positive meaning.   What it says to me is simply this if i want to go to heaven, be a part of the royal family, receive my inheritance i must be just as violent as they were.  When that snake slithers up to you talking to it has to have a purpose because your niceties aren't going to cut it.  You have to proclaim Jesus' word over your life to that snake, you have to shout out God's promises to you and your family and snatch back everything he took from you;  greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world, i am a lender and never a borrower, i am the head and not the tail, for God has not given me the spirit of fear but He has given me power and love and a sound mind, i have never seen the righteous forsaken nor His seed begging bread.

I could go on and on with reinforcements found in God's word but i won't because my point is not only am i speaking His word to the enemy but i am in the process of taking back, violently, all that belongs to me.  I'm not being nice and saying please mr devil can i have my life back, can i have my children back, can i have my finances, sanity, health, marriage, job, friends, family back.  I am saying devil you are a liar and God's word tells me you are and reinforces my knowledge that you have only come to kill, steal and destroy but my God has come so that i may have my life and have it in abundance, pressed down, shaken together and running over into the saucer that is my children , my family, my finances, my life, my health and strength and i am going to fight you kicking screaming and violently punching you in the neck, knocking you down and crushing you under my feet like the vermin you are.

So i ask you good people; why would you keep talking to a snake that is trying to bite you?  Why are you not cutting off his head with God's promises over your life and sending him back to his burning hell under your feet?

Peace and blessings wonderful people!
