I Vote Blue

About 10 years ago I had a desire to explain to one of my sons how important it was to read the word, go to church, pray, and listen to the Holy Spirit, Etc.
What I believe the Lord gave me to help me explain to him was this.
I saw three vertical Lines, like a graph.( I use one to reflect a picture format of my sales for each year where I work.) One line was RED and it was called “Our Flesh” . The Second line was Yellow and it was called our “Mind-Intellect”. The third line was Blue and it was called “Our Spirit”. A question came with the three lines. Which one are you being led by? Which one is winning? If a person is not born again the Blue line is at the bottom, and when he invites Jesus into his heart the Blue line can start to grow. We feed our flesh all the time with so many things, food, entertainment, the list is endless. We feed our mind-intellect when we go to school and read books and things of that nature. Many sources are now available to us to "Feed our Spirit". But we have to choose to go after them. Our mind-intellect will team up with one or the other lines most of the time, but not always. Usually the one which is leading is the one we feed the most. So which one of the lines are we being led by. I truly want my blue line to win, so I need to feed it the word in any form that I can get it in.
Each one of us is special and wonderfully made. We should want to spend time in the word, allowing it to change us, so we can become what God predestined us to be.
We all have a choice to feed our red line which will cause us to sin, in which we can loose, or feed our blue one and win.

Deliverance From Corrupt Companions

Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask You to open the eyes of Andrea’s understanding, that she might not be deceived by the influence of corrupt and depraved people. Thank You for causing her to come alive and awakening her that she might return to sober sense and her right mind.

Father, I forgive her sins and come before You asking for mercy – mercy that triumphs over judgment. Thank You for drawing her to Yourself with cords and bands of love and for leading her to repentance with Your goodness. Then she will separate herself from contact with contaminating influences and cleanse herself from everything that would defile her spirit, soul, and body.

In the name of Jesus, I bind her mind to the mind of Christ, that she might live and conduct herself honorably and becomingly as in the open light of the day. I loose her from the wrong thought patterns of her former lifestyle that were controlled by a set of values inspired by the adversary, who misleads those who have not come alive to Christ.

I ask You to give her a willing heart, that she might be loyally subject (submissive) to the governing (civil) authority – not resisting nor setting herself up against them. She shall be obedient, prepared, and willing to do any upright and honorable work. She shall walk as a companion with wise men, and she shall be wise.

Andrea is pardoned through the name of Jesus and because she confesses His name. She is victorious over the wicked one because she has come to know and recognize and be aware of the Father.

As Andrea’s mind is renewed by the Word, the Word dwells and remains in her, and she dwells in the Son and in the Father always. God’s nature abides in Andrea. His principle of life remains permanently within her, and she cannot practice sinning because she is born of God. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made Andrea free from the law of sin and death. Thank You, Father, for watching over Your Word to perform it, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Standing on the Promises

No! we shall not be moved, as we wait, we know that our God has everything under control. Jesus came to give us a more abundant life. We believe as we speak. We know that all things work out for the good of those who love the Lord. I will Praise the Lord each day, for only he gives us the victory.

Dreams of the Heart

From an early age dreams grew in my heart. I allowed people or things to snuff some of them out before they ever got a chance to really grow. I put some of them on hold,setting them on a shelf somewhere, with intendtions of bringing them back to life one day. I wonder now, is there still hope for the dreams that used to be alive in my heart.
