Tested By the Spirit...

Great morning Loves!  This is the day that the Lord hath made.  Let us REJOICE and be glad in it.  On this day two years ago, my life changed drastically.  I was at a point in my life where Faith was all I had.  I was Spiritually powerful, and Faithfully trusting in the Lord.  I knew that he would guide my steps and lighten my path.  I had no idea what was before me, but I thanked Him for delivering me from what was behind me.  My future was bright and my hope was high.  At no point did I feel discouraged, afraid, or alone.  But, shortly after that, my battles began.  Battles I had to face alone, not knowing that I was alone.  I knew God was there, but I also thought I had the support of those that claimed to love me.  I soon found out that God was REALLY all I had.  For sure, sure.  

There was one person in my life that was consistently there for me from day one, and still is.  My older sister Denise.  I love her with everything in me.  She connected with my spirit, she prayed for me, she cried with me.  Her strength brought me through.  I had family and friends that loved me, but I still felt as if something was missing.  I knew there was, but I could not define it.  Despite everything that we have, I know that MAN is the covering for a woman.  God does not desire us to be alone.  But, He also does not want us to settle.  Throughout our lives, we cross paths with many different people for many different reasons.  We learn that all that glitters is not gold.  We are presented with wolves in the clothing of sheep.  The devil tempts us with the things we desire the most.  Temptation don't take a vacation.  One thing for certain, and two things for sure, God is a keeper.  He is a deliverer.  He is a provider.  Most importantly for me, He is a healer.   He heals any ailments I may have.  He heals physical, mental, and spiritual pain when we least expect it.  My life today seems brighter than ever, and I do not have everything that I have always held as a priority.  So I thought.  My perspective has been changed, my steps have been numbered.  I have everything that God wants me to have at this point in my life.  One day at a time.  I am watching God work.  I am confident about the outcome of EVERY situation in my life.  Even when no one else understands, He gives me comfort and confirmation through the ones that say they love me, and shows me that they love me.  Just as I am able to see, and know that I know that I know.  To you, and for you, God can do the same thing.  

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  This statement speaks volumes into our lives, our hearts, our souls, and our atmosphere.  We live and die by the tongue.  Conquer your situation and claim victory in the name of Jesus.  Say it Loud, say it proud.  Let the enemy know that you will not be defeated and that God has already handled each and every one of your needs.  He will never leave you or forsake you.  The things that seem to be the hardest, are the situations that are the easiest for God to fix.  Don't tell God you have a big problem, tell your problem that you have a big God.  God already knows.  Follow your Spirit.  The Jesus in you will carry your burdens.  The war is not ours, because it has already been won.  What God has for you is for you, and no one else.  Know this for yourself.  Everything goodly, is not GODLY.  The right things that you may be doing, are not always the right things that God WANTS you to be doing.  Let go and let God.  His authority will be questioned, and your spirit will be tested.  Your test shall become your testimony.  I know that mine has.  He is mine and I am HIS.  No matter what.  OUR love is everlasting!   Living, loving, and loving some more.  carry on
