Trial by fire.

[DeighAnn]

Every intro sounds stupid especially after all those above so just going to quit trying and cut to the chase. I you may already know and do these things but with great pain comes great forgetting at least for me any I used to endure a bunch of pain and then get to these things but since I now do it other way around, (best I can) it's much better.  Who knew?  Obedience to God and His words.

Repent for all sins known and unknown, Cast out Satan and all evil in the name of Christ Jesus of Nazareth, anoint yourself and your home giving thanks and glory to God.  Has had an amazing effect in and on my life and I pray it will on yours also.  

The first two are easy to understand but it wasn't until I read this that the 'anointing' part came into my life.  

Daniel 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

Daniel 10:2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.

Daniel 10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

Daniel 10:4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;

Daniel 10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz

Daniel 10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.


At that point I thought OH NO, I am years and years and years past '3 full weeks' as I am standing at NEVER right now and I understand that we have Christ but DANIEL was super wise and devoted to God and seems a great example to follow...and I really needed more in my life.  Long story short, I thought I would share.

@DeighAnn

I so appreciate your post and concerns from Daniel, and from your own experiences.

That means a lot to me, and am so grateful you took the time to support me.

I have been with the Lord 43 years, and this isn't my first trial, but definetly one of the strongest trials God has brought my way, as he disciplines this son He loves.

To reassure you, there will be no forgetting of this time of endurance, because there is a lot of training that is coming with it, to grow me and perfect me in Christ.

This is another step closer to being who He wants me to be for Him, and those in my life around me, not for myself, and I rejoice in all of it, as the fruits of this time in my life plays out the completion of His plans, for me until my end.

Jeremiah 29:11-14

11 "For I know the plans that I [a]have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will let Myself be found by you,’ declares the Lord,"

 

God bless you greatly my sister in Christ, and may you be blessed for your encouraging words.
