Hear me out.. 

This world is made for those who indulge in the flesh. We can’t really care about food that much, we even should fast, or we have the sin of gluttony. We aren’t supposed to care about money or how much we make and we should give some to God. The secular people drink to excess, travel, party, go to fancy places/take vacations..We are not to care about in general what a lot of the world cares about.
 

These people care about everything but the things of God. For a Christian, life can be very boring. Sure you can raise kids (if you want), or you can be in ministry, but since I started not caring about what the world cares about, I’m wondering besides my purpose of spreading the good news, is anyone else feeling miserable just seeing that we aren’t meant to even be here? We are meant for a heavenly kingdom. I know that. Yet basically everything on earth is meant for secular people. I would rather be in Heaven worshipping my Maker than being here on earth constantly fighting a battle because I’m resisting the Devil. I know Paul also desired this. 

Hey.. Why did Christ come? One of the reasons was to give you life and give it more abundantly. Not all the things you mentioned are of this world :) Remember the 6 words "For God so loved the World". This world does not belong to Satan. For just a short time he is the god of it. Remember Christ said "on earth as it is in heaven". So this life oh praise GOD is so wonderful. Well why would the Father want ALL to be born here, live here not to just die right away? Remember we are the light of this world. We are to shine.. and it is never boring. We have His joy! That alone.. oh YES!

I think this world we live in is actually Hell. Full of temptation,sin, evil beyond limits. The Good Book says life will be filled with trials and tribulations, is it hard to believe we are presently in it? In this material world tell me you do not see truly evil people thrive and prosper while truly good and Godly folks continue to suffer and toil to just be. Just my two bits, JJ

Since I received the Holy Spirit, I'm really not having much trouble.

Indeed, I understand this very well. To me the method of my death I find troubling, but not the sleep. I do know that God will grant a person the required strength at the appropriate time though. Just like if you have ever experienced the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon you when being asked to elaborate about your Christian beliefs. I've been blessed with this occurrence twice in my life and didn't realize it until after the fact.

Edit: I wanted to add that after both times the Holy Spirit inspired me I asked myself afterwards, "What just happened?"

Yes I can't say my burden has been heavy at all, and externally it looks as if I've been through a lot. WE are more than conquerors through Him who saved us.

Victory will always feel good, even when it hurts sometimes.

Haha I agree! When I evangelize, the Holy Spirit fills me with confidence I don’t have. I still have the Ahab spirit (fear of man) and get nervous talking to men about God. Since all the men in my life growing up were weak and angry, that’s all I knew. 
 

My trust in God has grown since I’ve posted this. I’ve developed more of a relationship with God and He has already healed me twice, no three times of physical ailments I’ve had. I think that’s a testimony in and of itself because it’s only been 2 whole months since I turned away from sin and worldly things to follow God. 

I don’t think that I realized the damage I (and other people) had done to my physical, mental, emotional and sadly, spiritual state. I am literally having to be delivered from tons of physical ailments, soul bondage, etc. this brings on a whole new meaning to “born again” for me lol. My deliverance and healing is going to take a while and while the process is painful, it will be worth it.

The older I get, the more minimalist I become. I really do not like to be surrounded by too many things. Traveling is also not only exhausting to me,

It is also scary to me. Especially travel by air. I could probably only make it on the road for a couple of weeks before being burned out. I need my sleep.

I need my sleep, and I want a husband, and my own family. :(

I am definitely a stay in one place kind of girl, and I definitely don't have an eye for the finer things in life. It all seems overwhelming to me. Overwhelming, and exhausting. :(

I like plastic furniture on wheels, and it doesn't bother me. I don't think it looks bad. I just care about how easily it will be cleaned, by me!

I’m the same way, I’m just a people pleaser. Honestly I’m a homebody too. I don’t care for travel either. My mom drove me around for hours when I was a kid so I developed car sickness real bad. I think it can be cast out now but yeah.
 

I’m definitely more simple minded now than I used to be and my life has gotten so much easier! I’ve been throwing away and removing things from my life that are worldly. I don’t have to worry about people too much just yet and while I’m still manifesting I’m trying to stay away. But I definitely wanna join a church sometime this year.

Absolutely agree until Jesus comes back and restores the earth. Every time I step outside it’s absolute chaos and I know it’s only going to get worse. I just want to be with God and stay hidden in his word. In the shelter of His wings.

The bad serves as a contrast to how good we have it. Maybe not always in apparent physical ways, but we are tapped into the vine, the source of all nourishment.

God is never the author of confusion, and anything that happens He is going to work eventually for our good.

I have had people praying for my healing completely, and so far I feel great! I hope God chooses to heal me completely. One pastor I know recently told me I looked great.

I responded back, " you prayed for me didn't you"? How many times do people pray and then act surprised at the outcome?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
