212th Day - 13th Year

Help, O Lord, for trouble is near! Thank You for the opening to sing the praises to You this day! Thank You for all of the corrections that You give to us! I know that You said You chastise those whom You love! If we are not receiving corrections, then we are considered a bastard! Amen!

Blessed is the counsel and the encouragement that You give unto us!

A virtuous woman does make wise decisions. She also makes wise business decisions. The Word of the Lord came forth and gave counsel as to a what to do about a business that a wife had to run on her own, because her husband was no longer physically fit to run the business. The wife worked the business with her sons, but then, they too, left her to run it on her own. The woman has a young daughter, and at times, she is left home alone, because the mother has to go out to keep the business running. The woman is not abiding at home as the Lord has said to do. But the Lord has heard her cry, since she expressed that she knows that this is not what God wants her to do, and she expressed that she wants to be able to work from home and be there for her young daughter, who needs her. Thus saith the Lord, unto you, “Get yourself right with God and ask Him to give unto you faithful help! You do not have to sell your business. You can stay at home, as a foreman, and let the workers do the work.” There are big businesses that we see, but do we see the owner of the business out there working in the field? No! He is sitting back in some office somewhere, while his workers are out working. This is the counsel of the Lord and the answer to the problem that you spoke about. Amen!

In the time of my affliction, I am to pray for others. Just as the Lord Jesus did. Amen!

Thank You Lord, for the remembrance of Your Word. Teach me to pray as I ought to pray, O Lord.

I ask that You would send forth the deliverance to the people. There is so much trouble everywhere I look. I hear about reports of the evil spirits using people to do and say hurtful things. I do thank You, that You have not allowed bitterness to come into me. I do look for the people to be delivered, though.

On yesterday, I happened to go down a street, and passed by a certain house, where Sunday Services are held. The place is in the Preacher's house, as it should be. But as I passed, I saw no one was home, no vehicles in the yard, and I thought about how this Preacher, nor his wife are not attending to their first duties! We used to go to this place and try to help them, and it came to my remembrance that there was one First Day of the Week, that the lesson was on the Spirit of Ephesus. I explained to them that this spirit was talking about those who call themselves Christians and have left their first love, which is their first duty!

The Preacher is always supposed to be available for the people if they need help or need counsel. This is supposed to be his full time job! A wife is supposed to guide the house and bring up the children. But the Preacher is off working for another man, and when a member of the congregation is in trouble or hurt, the Preacher cannot be found! And the wife, who is also supposed to be a preacher, is going to school and working, while they have young children of their own, that are left unattended! I have heard of people in the congregation needing marriage counsel, but no one was around to help them, and their marriage crumbles! I have also heard of people getting into accidents, and the Man of God was not around to pray for them! The Shepherd was tied up, and the wolves came in to gobble up the sheep! Now I hear about so much division and strife! So much mess has risen up and even members of the same body are bickering and backbiting one another!

It is sad to me to see this. I do ask, for their deliverance also, O Lord. I would like to see things running the Way that You said that they are to run!

Even as You are purging us and getting us right, I would like to see others running right as well!

I do ask that You would deliver Ruben from the evil that vexes him. Deliver him from his aches and pains I pray. Amen.

Thank You for giving me things to think upon this day! I rejoice to see the things that I have been thinking about are things that You are giving the Man of God to write about too!

He spoke to me yesterday and told me that we both had similar dreams. This morning, when I wrote, I then went to the website and saw this: If you are not learning how to do things yourself right now, and is always looking for the preacher to do things for you; what are you going to do when the preacher is taken away? How long shall I be with you? Who will learn responsibility? Amen!

Purge me, O God so that I might be a good example. The best way to teach is by doing the things, because this is what holds more weight with people then just speaking it! Amen!

Our kids are being home schooled. The Lord spoke about on yesterday, that are they being prepared for that which is to come? If something were to happen to my husband or I, what would the kids do? They would go and look for some person to hire them! But who would hire them, being that they have no high school diploma?

The kids are supposed to be learning more spiritual things and responsibilities now, to prepare them for what is to come! One of the children spoke about branching out on his own and getting his own place. The Lord said that you learn responsibility now, from where you are. And if they can learn to be responsible now, they will be responsible when they are out on their own! We are giving them things to help us to do, for example learning about how to pay bills, and not be like most people who are always getting their lights and other utilities turned off and getting kicked out of their houses all the time! Amen!

Money is just a tool, the Lord has said. It is not something for us to store up and save! We get it, and we use it to pay for the things that we use. That is all. It is just a tool.

I ask that You would teach me also to be more responsible. I know that this is also something that I need. I know that when I am asking for this that I am acknowledging that I do not have this, and it is something that I need very badly! The Lord said that He gives us small things to be responsible for, and if we are faithful in the small things, we will be faithful in the greater things! But how can He commit a living thing to a person who does not care for it at all? Amen!

Also in the dream, from last night, my mother had bought a house that she lived in for a long time. It was in another city, and it was a bigger and more modern looking city then the city we are in now. She then gave me the house and said it was mine to do with as I wanted. I was very appreciative about it, because it was a big house.

I know the first thing that was done when she gave us the house was my husband and I went to go take a bath. The water was very deep and the tub was very big, and it reminded me of a river, where the water flowed and took all filthiness away! I do not know where the water was flowing too, but it flowed in the tub and out of the tub, washing things away! Thank You, Lord for causing me to remember that!

There are also appeared to be people in the house that now belonged to me. I do not know who these people were, but they were living in the house.

There was one black woman, who was a customer of mine, and she was telling me that she needed something that I did not have. I told her that in this city they have both Office Max (which is a store I like a lot) and Office Depot, that both have the item she is looking for. She told me that they will not accept her checks there, because she did not have money in the bank, and asked if I could get it for her and she will pay me with a check!

In the dream, it shocked me that she would ask me such a question, as if I did not hear what she just said, about she did not have the money in the bank to cover that check! So, why would I take it from her, if they would not? They had equipment that could scan their customer's checks and it will tell them if the check would clear or not. But I do not have that ability! And I do not take checks!

This morning I thought about one of my customers who came by to pay for an item, while I was at my parent's house and they tried to pay with a check. This customer has been with me for a long time, and they have written checks in the past to me, and I never had problems with the checks. But now, I do not accept checks, and when she tried to pay it, the kids told her that we no longer accept checks and if she could bring cash. I believe she got offended at that, because she later told me that she does not carry cash around, and that she would have to go to her bank to get cash and bring it to me. She said it as if it was really making her go out of her way to do this! I told her that, it costs me more, to have to leave my business, and go to a check cashing place, to have this check cashed, so I am spending money on gas and on a check cashing fee, where I do not get my full wages on the work that I did. She still protested about this, and then her husband said, I have the cash, and he paid me!

My Lord, thank You for giving me to stand and not to be partial. If I tell all that I do not accept checks, then let me not do it for anyone. You are not a respecter of persons! Amen!

I have considered dropping this one customer because of the constant contending with the Word from the wife. Her superiority attitude is very repulsive to me, especially because she calls herself a Christian. I present this to You, O Lord. What would You have me to do! When I testify about what the Lord has done or things the Lord has said, there is a constant contending with it and even to a point where she is making faces! So much evil is shot out! And I just shake my head, that the evil is so pitiful in what they do! It truly does make me laugh at what temper tantrums they make people throw! I am starting to understand what You are saying, Lord about when the wicked throw arrow, and bitter words, that it will not hurt us, but it causes us to laugh!

The body of the person may be old, but the spirit of Light is not even born yet! Amen!

I stick to the things that the Lord gave me! If you attack a Man of God, you have not attacked him, but you have attacked the Lord! So why should I get mad when someone attacks the preacher with hateful words? Those criticizing words you spoke, went straight to God! And He will answer you, but I know you won't like what He will tell you! It is in your own imagination that God is smiling at you! Amen!
