Thank you all so much for keeping me in your prayers. I know that the battle is not mine. But, being a soldier in the army doesn't mean we won't have battle scars during this war. Some of these scars are visible, but some are not seen. But, just like Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen." I have faith that these invisible scars and the visible scars will be gone once I get my new spiritual body. Oh how I wait on my Lord to come in those clouds. I want to be caught up with him. I want to just keep on going forward, studying His word, listening to His spirit speak to my heart. I know that He is working on this old building. He is throwing out the old and placing new bricks on this old building each day. Remember, He is the chief cornerstone. He is the "Master Builder."
I just lift my head up towards heaven and shout, "Work on me Lord. I want to be ready when You come for me." I was studying Matthew the other day. I was reading about the plank being in our eyes; While we are busy picking at the splinter in someone else's eye. We don't have time to be picking somebody else's eyes like buzzards. We should be encouraging them to go to Christ, so that He can remove any speck that shouldn't be there. Yes, he gave us power over unclean spirits, diseases and sickness. We are able, with "His" power to cast these things out, in "His" Holy name! We can bind up the enemy over our marriages, our children, and our homes. But, we must pray daily, for our own spirits to be right, FIRST!
This is why I am praying that God's people will pray for me. That I may be all that he wants me to be. I don't want to pass judgement on anyone. I want to be ready when our Savior comes. I love to study His word. This is where we get all of our answers from, to live according to His perfect will. We get hardheaded sometimes, as did the Israelites. But, I am tired of getting spanked for my hardheadedness I love all of you. Keep me lifted up in prayer, as I always will continue to pray for you.
