A devil a snake and a fallen angel share a picnic

[mercy_me]

I believe this is the year for restoration and healing. I believe All people everywhere better get ready because I believe this year we are going to see a move of the Holy Spirit like we have never seen before and I personally can't wait...

Those who have lost control to alcohol and drugs will be free. Those who are gay will be set free. Those who are sick and dying will be healed and set free. Those who have lost loved ones or anything to the devil they will get back 10 x's what the devil has stolen. I just truly believe this is the year God is going to show up and show off. So people be ready.

Don't spend time playing patty cake with the devil. Look Up and see the Glory of God don't miss him. Don't miss what he is wanting to do through you. Don't limit him. Because some lost soul may be depending on you. Do whatever it takes to stand... Sing his praises just like Paul in Prison. Read his word and read his word until the chains are lifted off of you. (Wash yourself with the word.) Don't rely on someone else to pull you out of the pit. They might just get down in the pit with you and roll around and make things worse.

Sometimes we think everything is about us. But God has revealed that not everything is about us. What he might be doing in someone's life might be for someone else to have healing to be set free.

I believe God just wants to shake the trees and shake loose of all the rotten fruit so that the good fruit will not be choked out and be able to feed many and to be able to plant seeds in good ground. But sometimes in order to get the good fruit there has to be some pruning and sometimes it hurts and sometimes we don't want it. But look at it like this if it will help one person one lost soul is it worth the pruning??? Is it worth to be a little bit uncomfortable?? Jesus suffered, should I be expected to suffer just a little bit so that my friend or someone in my family can be saved??

(Grace, please don't think this is directed to you. This just rose up in my Spirit and I just could not hold it in.)

I just believe this is a word from God for his people why because he loves us sooooooo and he is so tired of the enemy winning. He is ready to win and he is ready to show up and show his glory and his goodness and his mercy that people are so desperately searching and seeking for. It's not drugs or alcohol or sexual perverseness that people are so hungry for. But for a brief period of time, time enough to get them hooked it feels good, it feels that emptiness. But what the people are really so hungry for is for someone to show them Jesus. But the devil just keeps us so distracted those of us who know the power of God's love don't show those who so desperately need it because the devil has us playing patty cake so we can't see others needs or hurts.

Just food for thought!!

Sincerely

I totally agree!

Enough talk about food now!

[mercy_me]

But I thought this was a picnic??? (smile)

[julia]

Good words mercy-me.

[grace2u]

Whoa! Now everyone's body language is looking the same! (smile) I'm going to start thinking that you are all the same person. LOL!

(That's why I hate the Internet.)

You realize that we all smile the same -

We all wink the same way -

We all go uh-oh the same way -

For a "mind reader" that depends too much on picking up body language - this can drive one crazy. Although I heard a minister say recently to quit reading minds - (in relation to judging properly, etc.)

Boy that hit home!

[mercy_me]

Thank you Julia!!

I hear ya Grace!! I can't see ya but I hear ya!!
(hee! hee!)

You know you have a grrrrrrreat point. We do tend to read or see each other in here the way we see them, being judgemental not on purpose maybe but because there is no body language that is our own.... It is created for us!

AHHHHH!!! Should we go back to eating???

Grace2u:

In your above post # 706, you stated the following. "I said it a long time ago and I'll say it again. Seems like everyone wants to attack the so-called women who have "lost touch with reality" and no one wants to minister to them."
Perhaps, the way God has chosen to minister to them is by using others to point out that they have lost touch with reality.

After reading several of your posts, would you be so kind as to list the medications that you are presently taking. You seem to go from one extreme to another.

In your post # 735, you stated the following. " I also realize that it is my perception of reality that is the problem." You are truly correct in this statement. However, the next statement you make from the same post is "Change your perception of reality and of the lies that satan has tried to tell you over and over again and you do indeed change reality -"... This is totally incorrect. One cannot change reality simply by changing their perception of reality.

In the same post # 735, you ask, "Again, I'll ask: why are you constantly bringing up "V" Zebra? What is your motive?"
Grace2u, if I told you earthly things and you didn't understand how are you going to understand if I told you heavenly things?

You can indeed change your "future" reality.

Like it or not. You don't have control of everything - God does - but he does want you to participate in change and improvement.

Quite honestly there is not a "list" to provide to you. (smile) Perhaps that was a projection on your part.

I am on 1 very low dose medication. Mainly related to my female cycle and problems that have occurred with it this year and yes - it affected my mood but that doesn&#39;t justify <u>your word play</u>.

Funny - I went to the doctor because what you guys were posting here was driving me crazy and you know what he thought - &#40;and we are talking about a psychologist&#41; - he did come to the conclusion that some here &#40;probably the zebra of sorts&#41; was playing mind games. There is a record in his office in case I ever need it for legal records, etc.

Everything else I take is over the counter and generally purchased during allergy season although this does give me an opportunity to praise God. The mold count is high and normally does me in and it does indeed seem like I have been healed of this - nothing. Not even a sniffle!

Hmmm. I don&#39;t see the vada thing as being a heavenly issue because you seem to be trying to cause confusion and hurt her and the ministry here. Yes, your name is quite appropriate.

Those here that are heavenly minded are &#34;wise&#34; enough to know that what I have posted here - my struggles, faith testing, etc. - does not require medication but relates to what God is allowing to teach me to keep my eyes on Him during the storms.

Thank you - I now believe I know who you are. I don&#39;t believe you are Christ for the record.


As a side note it is interesting how satan loves to use Christ&#39;s words to puff himself up.

[valkyrie333]

Don&#39;t you just love it how some are quick to point out the faults of others, but ignore their own?

As a side note, isn&#39;t it interesting how God uses Christ&#39;s words to convict others.

For the record, I must point out to you that &#34;Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father on high.&#34;

If God is allowing you to be taught as you stated in your post # 745, why don&#39;t you allow yourself to learn what He is allowing you to be taught.

Remember this, &#34;God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise&#34;

[grace2u]

It is a process and God is patient with me. It is God that I &#34;am&#34; trying to listen to and learn . . . but there is a lot of noise out there trying to distract me. God is not the author of confusion. The name you have selected is a confirmation of what I see you trying to do.

Do you know how I know the Lord is speaking? Because it is everywhere I go God places words to confirm what he is saying left and right. I would say that one ministry out of Florida specifically has a way of uncanningly lining up with what I am experiencing and what actions God would have me take. So yes, God&#39;s Words do follow me and convict me. It is uncanning sometime. Your words are not doing that Zebra.

In fact even as I am convicted the father of lies shows up and tries to attack me and I watch him use others to attack others too. This makes me want to sink back and give up which you can see above. But each time this occurs God is using it as an opportunity to make me stronger. &#40;By the way even Peter denied Christ and ultimately he was made strong through the sanctification process.&#41;

Yes, I&#39;m as human as Peter and swing back and forth like him at time. God was successful with Peter and I believe He has led me to people who are speaking His words.

The law is like a mirror I recently heard it said. Many of your comments indicate that you want me and others to see our reflection before we were saved. Well guess what? Such action is satan. We are covered by the blood of Jesus and it is His reflection we should see because that is how He sees us. He is doing the inner work and yes he uses people to do this. That doesn&#39;t excuse us from living right but anything good that we do anyway comes from what we allow Christ to do in us. Sometimes this is subtle and we don&#39;t realize this and all of a sudden an issue we might have had gets better. Then other things are deeper and we struggle and wrestle in giving up control to God.

You can pretend that this is not a universal thing Zebra and set and point out things about and to others. I would prefer to just let my story be revealed because I reckon most every one else is having similar things go on in their life &#40;the Bible does confirm this I think&#41; and at least they will know they are not alone.

I realize that this opens me up for people like you to try to discredit me by telling me to provide a list of medicines - etc - which didn&#39;t exist anyway; but so what? Should we really care? I mean really? After what Christ has done for us? I don&#39;t think so.

I&#39;ll also share this since you got personal with me. When I started having cycle issues for the first time in my life and just about went a little hay wire because of the hormone issues along with not dealing with my unfinished business etc. one of the greatest gifts someone gave me &#40;and this person was not someone I knew from church or anything else&#41; was to say &#34;I&#39;m not going to judge you.&#34; The funny thing in real life this person is really in a position to &#34;judge&#34;. But when I went to them and said something is wrong and it seems to be hormonal but also I&#39;m dealing with all this unfinished business and I feel like I did this wrong and that wrong . . . they gave me this wonderful gift. One I hope to pass one. &#40;Now there is a time to judge but that is more of a higher level congregation issue that goes through &#34;appropriate&#34; channels . . . not just folks going all over the Internet making this accusation or that accusation which may or may not be true and cannot go through proper procedures in such a circus.&#41;

[grace2u]

And when I say not alone I mean from a human standpoint. There are other &#34;humans&#34; experiencing something similar.

I realize that I may need to explain certain things to you that others would understand without explanation.

I&#39;m sure there are other things I probably should have explained &#34;better&#34; from your point of view. From my point of view the blood of Christ is sufficient where I am inadequate.

[grace2u]

There is a procedure which must precede a person being judged and separated from. This procedure in outlined in Matthew 18:15-17.

http://home.flash.net/~billtess/werreqrdtojdg.html

I&#39;m sorry even if this were a congregation and there was an issue with Vada the proper steps have not been taken. And this gives the very REASON bloggs are not acceptable to do such things because such a procedure is impossible in a blogg like this. There is no congregation that exists with an undershepherd or elders to lead such procedures.

grace,

In a previous post to you God had me to write to you that He was making His covenant known to you, meaning that He was demonstrating to you and in you His word. What is now happening with zebra and you is God doing this. Isaiah 54:17 says,&#34;no weapon forged against you shall prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me, declares the Lord.&#34;

You know that zebra is forging weapons against you. One of the things God has taught me is that when Satan is behind this, the weapons will be targeted where we know God&#39;s armour protects such as our mind. But this is where our helmet of Salvation is, so Satan goes after other places in order to get under this, such as our belt of truth or the breastplace of righteousness. Notice zebra tries to cause confusion or limit what is true or misuse truth in order to harm and wound. This is what zebra is trying to do with her questions about what is &#34;real&#34; and &#34;reality&#34;. No matter what was said, zebra was going to use it against us both. The more we answered zebra the more zebra could trap us by twisting our words and use them against us. We know that Satan will use God&#39;s word against us. This is the only value the word of God has for those like zebra but to trap those who are diligently seeking to know God and make God known and to prevent them from doing this. Grace, they would have us to believe that they never struggle or fall short in any way in complete understanding of the Bible and that it&#39;s easy and those who fail just aren&#39;t trying. But this is a lie. Accusing others is the only purpose &#34;righteousness&#34; has for them. They are not limited by righteousness or truth but they know genuine believers are limited and this a strong weapon for them. This is why they say that we are no different than them to cause doubt and confusion. I have wanted to stop so many times because I feared this is what it looked like to other Christians, but God kept pressing me to remain here. Last year zebra had asked me if I knew what others really thought about me and I could only imagine. But no one could think anything worse about me than I have thought about myself, but God would not allow me to quit but to remain. Because God wanted me to learn that Satan knows he can stop the Spirit of God in me by causing me to become unwilling to submit to God in order to save myself from humiliation and embarrassment and make me believe that after all none of this really matters. But it was when I would submit my will to God and allow Him to have His way I learned that this is the only thing capable of defeating Satan and his weapons against me and against all of us who do pursue Him and hunger and thirst for Him. We know we are not of those who come here only to accuse; but we are of Him who makes His covenant known to those who are of Him and that by His Spirit we are compelled to &#34;refute&#34; every tongue that accuses us. For a long time the forged weapons would work, but God would show me what was happening. This is how God has made my faith and trust in Him stronger so that I grew more and more able to withstand these weapons. Not because of anything I did, but because God is faithful to His word!

The word refute means &#34;overthrow by argument, evidence, or proof.&#34; When God compels us to &#34;refute&#34;, this is proof. Some love to argue. But I hate this. And I know you and many others do as well. But the Holy Spirit compels us to refute every tongue that accuses His servants. The Sword of His word is alive and active and He will vindicate those who belong to Him who are accused for preaching the Gospel, so that the name of God will thus be vindicated.

[grace2u]

Name calling is one thing.

I&#39;m talking about metaphors and might I remind you that you called yourself Zebra not I or anyone else. I&#39;m just going with the metaphor you gave yourself. An <font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font> that creates an environment to cause confusion.

You also somewhere said that we would see why you named yourself that. Yes, thank you. I have seen and understand.

An interesting note I had thought about but wasn&#39;t going to post but since you want to continue in the conversation I will.

I have heard a minister state that Saul&#39;s donkey represented his &#34;father&#39;s flow&#34;. So all in all I don&#39;t have a problem with an <font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font>. God indeed used one with Balaam. I have also learned through study of literature, etc. that flow can also refer to &#34;words&#34; or even &#34;music&#34;. This is interesting since we know there is the Father of Truth and a father of lies.

So if a simple donkey refers to a legitimate father&#39;s flow &#40;in the case of Saul his biological father&#41;, I wonder what a zebra that creates an environment of confusion is indeed representing and what flow is represented?

I am also reminded of Jesus and his wilderness experience where satan pretended to use black and white in a manner to tempt &#40;and I might add used the words of God to do so&#41;. I am certainly not Jesus but as a child of God I shouldn&#39;t be surprised if I experience something similar.

Also, it is interesting that Saul had to look for his donkey&#39;s and instead finally abandoned them and found a prophet. The funny thing about you is no one has to hunt for you. You just keep showing up.

If I&#39;m coming across donkeys - I must be in the wilderness or at a zoo.

Funny Zebra, you really don&#39;t have anything to say for yourself do you? &#40;Except of course the wonderful job you did at naming yourself.&#41;
