Freedom Floods

September 11, 2014 :

 "Freedom floods our hearts the moment we learn that we do not have to be perfect to experience God's love and salvation"

by Charles F. Stanley
 Pathway to His Presence: A Daily Devotional

Read this  passage at 7:55 PM.

Less than an hour ago, I told my mom, my editor-of-chief, that I can't be perfect in my writings. I can't wait for her to be available because my thoughts are constantly moving to subject to subject, emotion to emotion, prayer to prayer, inspiration to inspiration. I would flood her inbox  to edit my work as I am doing to mine.

My work will never be perfect but I am flooded with so much freedom that I want to share it.

Walk with me as I will walk with you in our spiritual breathe from the single strain of our hair to the cuticle of our toe nails.

The Plan

In my 20's, I felt so lost. I felt that I was a woman of faith in God but the faith in man was diminishing. Although I was behaving like I was enjoying life with friends and family, my spiritual being was dying slowly.

I had no one to talk to. I had feelings of spiritual despair. My spiritual being was inhaling the dark. I started to see darkness even I knew light supposed to guide me . I tried to hold onto the little light I had through my natural spirit since childhood. However the imperfection of man destroying other imperfect men creating shaped my internal being.

But as I felt the monsters in me, my God whispered in my ears, "I am with you".

Although I cried many nights, my God whispered, "I am holding you".

Even though I wanted to be violent toward my fellow man, my God whispered, "I am stopping you."

And even the days I wanted to sleep and die, my God whispered, "You have work to do."

Here I am, MY GOD.

Psalm 139:23-24

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

2 Timothy 1:7

"God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline." 

This verse is extremely powerful because we are/had living/lived our lives being timid instead of using the strength that God had given to us.

For myself, it was hard for me to see the light in a world of darkness. People infested me with their dark views, words, energy, and so on. I enjoyed many times the stories and delighted myself in some people miseries because it was not me. I felt no love or emotions for their pain.

As I started to grow in spirituality through prayers. I needed to know my purpose. I searched and searched for answers that it drove me nuts. It made me sad. I wanted to know what was beyond the universe. I wanted to know what was in the deepest oceans and caves.

I had a lot of questions that I knew they will never be answered. 

Keep reading your verses and find comfort in knowingly your questions will eventually be answered. 

Our Coming.

In a world of the imperfect and unfit, we find ourselves looking for answers. Why poverty? Why war? Why hate?

In every country, there are political wars. In my country, it is political, race, social, class, and so on. The minorities are considered lower class based on color. People would call them the “entitled” people even though African descendents have one of the richest Biblical histories.  However, these critics forget their faults because they were raised to believe they are privileged because of their color. For example, a poor 50 year old white man with a 8th grade education would think he is superior than President Obama because of his Kenyan father.

American society fails in many areas, because these race division was not created by God. It is a man-made so one race could feel superior.  Race of man will never be higher than God’s Tribe of Man which were people of all shades.  There are 12 tribes of God as followed Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Ephraim and Manasseh. Their blood line is  strong and spread wide and far.  As stated on the website http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/tribes.html , “In Egypt "the Israelites were fertile and prolific; they multiplied and increased very greatly," and there they became the "Israelite people." For  racist white, black, brown, and yellow Americans, who believe they are the chosen people, may be actually causing harm to God tribe’s bloodline that encompasses all these people.

So our obedience is to be kind to all people of all races, religions, and faith. Jesus asks us to be more like him. Our actions will determine our destiny that he plans for us. We are the messengers of all actions and words through his grace and mercy, we will succeed and save  people from darkness that the devil and demons prey on.

Let’s be soldiers of HOPE in JESUS’ NAME because we are his bloodline.

We are the daughters and sons of  Eve (“source of life” child of God),  Sarah (“noblewoman” child of God) and Hagar (“uncertain” child of God), and Mary (“Mother of God”)
