Be Careful For...NOTHING


Hello Loves!  I know, I haven’t blogged in awhile.  Focus has not come easy to me this year.  There has been so many things rising up, and my Spiritual energy has been drained.  Despite my strengths, despite my gifts, even the strong needs to feed and glean.  I was at a point where I had nothing to give anyone.  I was too busy fighting to maintain my own faith in the midst of my many attacks.  It’s not by chance that our battles are ENORMOUS this year, at the start of year. 

This is 2014, haven’t you noticed?  Take the time to add the digits, they will add up to be 7.  There is Biblical significance in the number 7.  The number 7 is God’s number of completion.  This year will be the year that so many of us will receive what we have been praying and waiting for.  This will not come without a battle.  In battle, out of battle, before battle, and after battle, it is imperative that we remember that the battle was already won before we were even thought of.  The fear factor, the intimidation factor, and the idea of being rejected while standing firm on our beliefs, has caused so many of us to be hesitant in our words and actions.  We are the good, we are the one’s that should be able to make a difference.  We are not the enemy, nor are we a part of his militia. 

While so much of the world has been consumed with evildoers, spirits, the whole nine yards, the believers, I mean the TRUE believers, have got to be consumed with God’s work.  God’s will.  Sometimes it seems as though the righteous are the minority, and the self-righteous and the un-righteous are the majority.  We have gotten to a place where we fret over the things that are evident, and we fear the things that are not so evident.  Why are we worrying about things that are out of our control?  Why are we afraid to deal with the things that are in our control?  Has the people of God gotten to a place where we have been silenced because of the backlash that we will suffer for God’s namesake?  What’s happening different from what we SHOULD have expected when we decided to walk this walk?          

Were we brainwashed into thinking that things would be easier when we become followers of Christ?  Our vision has been tainted by the prosperity preachers that are teaching us, well some of us, that everything will be peaches and cream once we join the army of the Lord.  I’m here to serve notice that the closer you get to Christ, the greater the attacks will be.  The more Spiritual you become, the harder the natural man will fight!  The main focus of ALL living things is to survive.  When that survival is threatened, any and all organisms when fight to stay alive by any means necessary.  Our curiosities have made us weak.  Our love for others has made us gullible.  Our compromised faith has put us in a place where we may fall prey to the enemies at hand. 

There's a difference between being paranoid, being cautious, and being careful.  Paranoia is associated with a lack of trust.  Caution is fueled by fear.  The word says, "Be CAREFUL for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."(Philippians 4:6).  Simply put, it means to have no distressing anxiety about anything.  God has already made a covenant with us.  As long as we follow the “IF”, God will surely follow the “THEN”.  He is not a man that he should lie.  His word will not return void, it will do what it was set out to do.  WE must be mindful of this and draw strength just from KNOWING this.  While we’re in battle, while we’re going through, while we’re praying for clarity, we MUST continue to Praise.  Deliverance is in your Praise.  Confuse the enemy, Praise Him in advance.  Be careful for nothing.  Remember that God’s got it.  It’s already done.   carry on
