“Good morning Lord, I love you!” “Good morning sweetheart!” We have been at work in the Center of the Garden today. We have been at work in the personal and outer space as well. “Lord look at this beauty what a joy you have created!” “Yes it is!” “Thank you for the strength and refreshing you have given me today. Thank you for renewed focus. The battle belongs to you!” “Indeed it does!” “Keep praying and stay very close to me, and retreat often to this place and I will keep guiding you and providing!” “Yes Lord!”
I have decided to put my encounter up above, it is not the order in which my day has gone, I wanted to give it first for those who need encouragement and maybe don’t need or want to read the following. I share because it is what I have to give. He is working in me and you and it is beautiful and there are days and times where we fight to be in truth and take forward ground.
“Holy Spirit, will you help me in this narrow place? I must not rely on what I see and feel. I must not turn back. What do I do with the conflicting feelings and circumstances?” “Pray Krista.” “Yes Holy Spirit. I need your protection and vindication. You will fight for me. I will not be consumed with self or repay my enemies. I will walk with the full armour on and in love. Help me to be patient with myself as I change.”
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say, “Destroy!”
The truth has come in another level. I did not expect it to be so hard to embrace. It means I must embrace and let God work. He will work. but the outcome may not be as I hoped. Make no mistake, it will be good! I have been in conflicting circumstances before. It isn’t where I will stay, but I will not be moved out of my place. I have been here before and I could not continue, but there is a better way and time to overcome. This is my stand, to not accept and go back or stay at peace with the enemy, to grow and to stand, and I will see the salvation of the Lord! This is how I will stay away from victimhood. And how I will not just give in to keep the peace with the enemy. This is how I will be my Father’s daughter and rise above! It begins, once again, with acceptance and letting go of understanding. I try to comprehend and this keeps the cycle going. I must accept and let go. Lord help me to let go! Help me to not try to be you to them! If I accept it, then years of my life again feel wasted. If I see it, I loved so deeply and sacrificially, with joy, but I was only used. But if I don’t face it the chaos continues and I can’t get free. So here I am, acceptance with joy, your handmaiden Lord. I let go and I see! I talk myself back into being loved, but it isn’t true. This is where Your Love, Truth, and Strength with Wisdom and Clarity must continue to grow and change me. I submit. I can do all things trough Christ who strengthens me. This may not be as I would like to write this today, but it is as it was. Go up and read the first part to see how I moved on and how I have overcome and am on track. I had to move through the emotions and embrace them and the truth to get to the joy and moving on.
Matthew 5:46-48 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
This is a very good scripture, just don’t gaslight yourself with it, it can be done, and sometimes it is difficult to maintain the balance, but the Holy Spirit knows what we should do and how to do it. It can be a sacrifice, but maybe not the way controlling spirits would have us do it. There is love and order in God’s kingdom and it includes love, safety and protection for us. May we guard our hearts Lord, and love with abandon when you call us too! May we keep you first above all else!!!
