This is the 166th Day of the 13t

Blessed are You, O Lord God, Most Holy! I ask that You would help me and keep my mind stayed on right things. I do notice that bitter thoughts try to enter into my head, at times. But I am reminded that You do know all things, and You judge according to the hearts of the people. You know all things that are going on. Amen.

Help me to do my duties that I am commanded to do. Order my steps this day, and let Thy Will be done.

Thank You for causing me to rise up early this day. I heard something in the night that awoke me! It was as if someone had snapped their finger, and I woke up suddenly, but I was not afraid. I was lying in the bed for a while, and I was meditating on things. One was how people get dogs to protect them, and to detect when there is someone around the house that is trying to break in. I thought about how low we, as humans, have become, if we must use an animal, that is lower then us, to protect us.

It was as if I was dreaming, but I was awake. I saw that my husband had a beautiful black German Shepherd dog and he called it, into the back room with him. In the dream, I did not want to interfere with the dog, and make him to be weak, and a pet, so I did not touch the dog. I knew that the dog had a purpose for being here at our shop.

He would eventually get two dogs. One would be tied outside by our window where we sleep, and the other would be in the house to roam free.

It was also as if we were living in upstairs apartment and the house, that is also where we run the Computer Business.

There were a lot of people in the upstairs apartment, and it was as if there was a party going on, or some sort of social gathering.

At this point, I knew that the upstairs toilets were clogged up, and that people would have to go to the restroom, so I took some bleach to pour in the toilets and get them clean, and hold down the smell. But I also know that there is only one restroom up there, but in the dream, there were two.

I do not recognize any of the people in the dream, but I saw everyone gathered in small groups, holding glasses and talking to one another. It was not a wild party, but more like a social gathering where wealthy people get together to talk and drink.

But there was also a dream in the night. I ask, O Lord God Holy Ghost, that You would bring that dream back to my remembrance.

I will write what is coming to mind.

Our youngest son was talking to me about an incident that had happened to him, and he became bitter against his father, because of it. He was talking about something that he remembered had happened to him when he was younger. He says that he is being mistreated, and ignored. When he says good-bye to his father, he does not talk to him, but when our daughter says good-bye, he says good-bye to her. He is bitter against his father for these things and I do ask, O Lord for Your help to deliver him from this. I know this is affecting him. And it bothers me too! Now, O Lord God, do I understand it even better why the hearts of the fathers must be turned to the children, and the hearts of the children must be turned to their fathers. There is much bitterness between them, and I have seen this in my own household. It bothers me to see this, because I know that this is not right, nor the way fathers and son are suppose to feel about one another. Therefore, for our sake and the sake of all families, I ask that you cause the peace between the fathers and their children. Send forth the Spirit, O Lord, to turn the heart of the Fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their Fathers, that no curse be upon this household, I pray Thee.

This sounds to me, like one of those cases where people say, “I am this way because of what happened to me when I was a child.”

Which one of us did not have something bad happen to us as a child? I had an incident, where I know that what my mother did to me was abuse. I also know that the way that I was, I drove my mother to that point! I am not saying what she did to me was right, but I know that I angered her so much, that this was how she released that anger!

But no matter what happened to me, as a young person, I know that that incident does not have any power over me now.

She was wrong for what she did, but I know I was wrong too! I also know that I have power from God to let it go! I do not dwell on what was done to me, and I do not have any bitter feelings towards my mother for what she did to me.

She was not saved when she did that to me, and as I look at it, now, I know that I should not have expected anything else, but violence to come from her.

Parents are allowed to chastise their children, but they are to do it in love, and not in a violent way!

I also know that I had to be taught how to chastise the children, because I did not know how! When I was taught the right way, I have stuck to this way, and have not picked up shoes, or cooking spoons to hit them anymore, like I used to. The Lord was teaching me that by me doing this, it was showing violence in me! When you strike a child, you use a belt, and if you slap them with your hand, it is always to be done, open face, and never back handed, where your knuckles hit their face! I had to be taught, because I did not have a teacher when I was at home to show me how to be a good mother, and how to correctly discipline your child! I also had to be taught how to fight against spirits that cause the children to do the things they did! Amen!

So where is all this bitterness coming from? Why be mad at one parent, who you say abused you, but not at the other who abused you?

Forgive, forget, and go on. Because bitterness will just eat at you, and it will consume you!

I see how my mother is so bitter against my father and it is literally killing her! Her body is crippled and deteriorating more and more, every day, because she refuses to let a thing go that happened so many years ago!

The person that you are bitter against does not feel any of the hatred that you are feeling. They go on with their life and don't even know that you are all consumed with anger and bitterness towards them. The only one who gets hurt, in the end, is the one with the bitterness. I would rather live my life joyfully, and think on good things, then to dwell on things done in the past. The Word did say to think on things that are True, Lovely, and of Good Report. Amen!

A Selfless Act

I heard about this, on yesterday. My father and mother got “married” when they were both in sin. The Lord did not join them together, but when my father became a Christian, and got baptized, he called my mother, his wife. So, now he was bound by his words to not put her away, because he was now a Believer. My mother also got baptized and called my father, her husband. So she was also bound by her words.

The Word said that you are not to divorce, except for this reason; adultery and fornication! The Word also says, that if the unbelieving wishes to depart, then you let them. But as a Believer, you are never supposed to initiate the divorce!

My mother was counseled by the people at the Church of Christ, not to do the thing that she had planned. They told her not to divorce! But she did it anyway!

She went to court and divorced my father!

My father was then set free, because she proved herself not to be a Believer, and she departed. But was she set free? No! She went to be with another man.

For her soul's sake, the Lord had my father to write her a letter and it said, “I divorce you, because of adultery.”

Now she was set free!

When I heard this, I said, “Lord, that is mighty!”

What a selfless act of love that was! No matter what was done to him, he was still looking for the help of another. He still cared about her soul and her life, and it did not matter all the pain that she put him through! That was a mighty act, and I thank You Lord, for showing me that. It makes me think about it does not matter what was done to me, by another, it still boils down to: what is it that I do to others is what God is looking at! Amen.

A Dream!

Last night I was given a dream that showed that we had an almost $800 light bill to pay! I said, to a person in the dream, “There is no way I can pay that!” I was thinking about how all of our light bills had been around $75, which was not a problem to pay, but an $800 light bill scared me! I was thinking how can I pay this? And I envisioned that the lights had gotten cut off because I was not able to pay it. All kinds of worries went though my mind, such as, should I try to pay parts at a time, as I have the money. But if I pay in parts, would they still cut the lights off?

What am I going to do about the business, since the computer business depends on the electricity being on! All kinds of thoughts were running through my mind!

Was this a mistake?

Did they need to read the meter again?

And, I also thought about, did I speak something on myself by saying, “There is no way I can pay that!”

Who is to say what the Lord would have done for us? If this bill was accurate, would not the Lord help us, and give us what we need to pay it?

Where was my trust?

This dream seemed to take place in some sort of a grocery store, by a courtesy booth, where you pay your bills.

What do I pray for in this kind of situation?

Set a watch over my lips that I sin not with my tongue, O Lord. Amen.

Blessed are You, O Lord God Holy Ghost! Amen!
