Sit back and let God move

A couple weeks ago I heard sit still. My first thought was, be still and know that I am God. I did and God began to pour instructions to see how obedient I would be. Would I listen to my flesh or God? Every instruction my flesh had an opinion on it, but I did what I was told. To be honest sometimes delayed, but I did them.

My obedience led me to joy every time. Joy for me and the people involved. I thank God for the past week. When things are going good the enemy likes to show himself to make you doubt. That's exactly what happened last night. He knows your vulnerabilities and he hit mine right on the head. God held my tongue. I didn't address it at all. I battled with myself all night about having a right to address it. I was hurt and I wanted to share it with who hurt me. I didn't say a word.

This morning after praising God it was back on my thoughts. I didn't want to start their day off bad, but God told me I didn't deserve to carry it through my day. God knew he needed time with me and worked on me throughout the night. I addressed it so calm and even toned I surprised myself. I wasn't expecting the reaction either, I thought look at God. I am the fruit from his hand moving in my life.

Obedience and divine timing

Yesterday I had a plan of what I was going to do, but when I got up, I began cleaning. I stripped the bed and threw the sheets in the wash. I cleaned up the house and I was trying to get back focused on my workout. When I got back upstairs all I could think about was washing my hair.

I got in the shower to wash my hair and began talking my time combing it out. I got through it put it up and began scrubbing my body real good. One of those intense thorough showers. I got out and God told me to pray over some oil. I did. Came back up and up and put some in my hair. I separated my hair and put bantu knots in. A way I had never did a twist out, but it seemed exactly how it was supposed to be done.

I then went through my home anointing it with the oil. I thank God for bringing a fresh anointing in my home. It was Halloween and walking into a month I know will be full of seeing God's hand move. The day had got away from me. God instructed me to go buy something for myself. I had a discount store on my mind, but I thought while I was out that way, I would drop something off to a friend of mine. God instructed me to go to another store.

I went to the store, but I am really frugal, so I was looking for less expensive things. It was summer wear which didn't make sense to buy. I found a couple things I liked but didn't want to spend what they cost. I told myself if I couldn't find shoes to go with it, I wouldn't buy them. I found the perfect shoes and they were so comfortable. If you know me, I had found some cheaper that would do. In the line I was still debating whether to get the cheaper items. God nudged me to get the items I wanted not to settle. I put the other stuff down. It was my turn in line.

I walked up and passed someone I knew. I hadn't seen her since I was a little girl. I spoke to her, but she didn't recognize me I was all grown up. I told her I was Beverly's middle daughter. She laughed at the fact that I remembered her. We began talking and she said we must exchange numbers. I gave her mine and my mom called. I told her I ran into her, and they talked for a minute. She told my mom her mind was going on the things she could get me involved in. We caught up briefly and I realized we stayed in the same neighborhood. How had I been here for years and never ran into her before. She said to text her so we can get together and talk more. God's divine timing happens exactly when you are ready.

We don't have to be included

Today is Halloween and I know a lot of Christians participate because they don't want to or want their children to feel left out. We have to become proud to not participate in nonsense. I know a lot of people feel it is harmless if they put their babies in cute costumes instead of witches or monsters. It is the act to have them out amongst it all.

We are unknowingly participating in the enemy's plans. The fact that you are out as they are working to raise evil spirits and demons is all they need. Even the candy you allow your children to consume with Halloween all over it. They sit and indulge sugar that has no benefit to their body. Just getting them in a frenzy to be more susceptible to whatever their plan.

Adults go out in customs and drink and smoke and are opening doors for spirits to use you. All spirits don't make you do vicious and crazy things. Some just come to cause confusion. I know this firsthand. I have been at the point a few times where I had taken in so much liquor and weed that I was just open. That a spirit entered, and I have gone to places I did not know but it was familiar. It was familiar to the spirit I had let in. I didn't care about things I normally would, their concerns were now mine.

We have to be very careful to stay out the devil's business the best we can. We don't need to be included in pagan holidays. We don't need to be included in what the world says is important. If you know the signs you know we are in the end times. Protect your family and stay out of the way of the world. Jesus said we are in the world, but we are not of the world.
