Trust: Dancing in the Dark

                         Trust: Dancing in the Dark

   When we perceive ourselves in the dark we have two choices; ONE... We can be without trust in God and fall into the spirits of suffering OR TWO.... We can hold full trust in the Lord Master God as His follower and heavenly servant and DANCE in the dark. When we hold full trust in God, there is never darkness because His light illuminates all our ways. This is a decision of discernment. Which choice do you chose today?

1 John 4King James Version (KJV)

"4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because GREATER is HE that is in YOU, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 WE are of GOD: he that KNOWETH God HEARETH us; he that is NOT of God heareth not us. Hereby KNOW WE the spirit of TRUTH, and the spirit of error."

God is the TRUTH. So long as you silence your mind of the worldly ways, and listen to the Holy Spirit of Truth, God will speak to you. The spirits of the flesh are heavy ones, but when we walk in the light of the Truth, the yoke is light and free. If something is weighing heavy on your mind, just take a minute to meditate with God. Allow him to wash away all those thick dark clouds of fear and reveal clear skies. Allow him to water your spirit with His truth and watch the kingdom of heaven blossom within you. Hold the garden of Eden fast within your heart. Do not rely on your knowledge of what is good and evil, but rely on the Truth, rely on the Light, rely on His Holy Fires of Love, Submerge yourself in His Holy water. What is God speaking to you right now? Listen, and breath in His breath of Love. 

"7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that not loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us."

Is there a situation or conflict you are feeling towards a fellow Brother or Sister? Do you feel someone is doing something wrong with themselves? Do you feel someone has wronged you? Quite often we want to take measures into our own hands with the knowledge we have "seen or perceived". But hold fast in Trust that God knows and has seen ALL. God sees into the DEEPEST DEPTHS of the hearts of all. TRUST that God is working not only on the ones you feel have wronged you or perhaps they aren't doing right by God, but that he is also teaching you to TRUST in Him. Let that be a lesson to you. To Trust in God, trust in His movement; to make all things work for good. Release the fears you have, and Let God be God. Making actions, movements, assumptions, are making choices to fall into the spirit of the enemy; using your own will to take the wheel from God. God gave us free will, but we also have the free will to chose Love and chose to Trust. Allow God to work His will. Be silent, hold your tongue, clear your mind, walk in discernment in making choices Jesus would with Full Trust, and you will see his blessings overflow into your life. Trust and Patience go hand in hand. That includes not only holding patience in others and situations, but learning to hold patience within yourself. Believe with faith, hope, and love. Love overflows washing and healing all.

"13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

19 We love him, because he first loved us."

How can we not Trust in the God that dwells within us. Cast out all fear and Open your hearts to the Love of God.

Patience is a Virtue

       Patience is a Virtue

Good things come to who wait.... Waiting, such a hard thing to do when we're in a fast pace world of wanting immediate gratification. But in the spiritual world, things are much different. Sometimes things come quickly... other times, it's a wait and wait and wait some more process. Being an artist, I can relate to the ultimate artist and creator in that you must never rush a masterpiece. It must flow organically and beautifully in natural timing. Right now God has it on my heart to learn to be patient, hold gratitude for the present, and have full trust in His timing. In trying to find patience I turn to the Word. 1 Corinthians 13:4 "Love is Patient and Kind." One of my favorite passages of the bible. Love IS patient. If we walk within the spirit of Love, our hearts will be joyful, patient, and we will hold gratitude within all the glorious beauty of all that is. It feels good to meditate on these thoughts. Let's see what else the bible has to say about patience. James 5:7 "Be Patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and late rains."  Just like a plant or a blossom, we can not force a good thing. I'm also reminded of early and ripe fruit. Which tastes better? The ripe one of course! The process of feeling hunger,the anticipation, and slowly treasuring finally being able to bite into that juicy ripe fruit, is so much more satisfying than gorging yourself in a rushed and already full manner. We must trust in the Lord to receive our blessings in perfectly ripe timing, for He is the creator of all. Psalm 130:5 " I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;"  1 John 4:18 "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. " There's that word Love again. Love is patient and we must not have fear that God is punishing us while we wait. God is trying to bless us and reward us and we must trust in his perfect divine timing in order to receive ALL our blessings and treasures from heaven. Do you wish to receive? Then don't get in the way of yourself OR God. Have trust and breath through the process with perfect hope and perfect love, that God is working ALL things for our good. Hebrews 4:13 "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." Everything is seen by the almighty God. He knows what's best for us. Fear not. Be patient. Receive all your blessings with perfect trust and love. <3
