The Senseless Murders in El Paso and Dayton

Posted on by

0

On August 1st I gave the prophetic word God had given me for the month of August. God said there would be another mass shooting and to warn His people. I hate having to give prophecy like that but it warns the people. This morning I found out one of my subscribers on YouTube is indeed in El Paso and she left a comment under my August 1st Video saying thank you.

Yesterday I got an email from a woman telling me she is envious because God talks to me and not her. Anyone with a prophetic gift can tell you that the gift has cost them everything. For some reason it requires a stripping of all we hold dear and then still staying with God in the crucible of fire. I really don’t think many could stand what it takes on a personal level. This is not bragging just stating a fact. If I was to tell you all I have lost, on a personal level, it would probably take a whole paragraph. I won’t do it because I don’t believe in being depressed and living a defeated life that is fueled by self-pity. I bring it up only to say this don’t be envious of another’s gift from God because you have no Idea what the person endured to get to that point.

God tells us these things so that we will always know that He is All Knowing. But the Word of God also tells us that Satan is the God of this world.

2 Corinthians 4:4

4 For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers’ minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.

The most detailed version of Satan’s rebellion is here;

How you are fallen from heaven,

    O Day Star, son of Dawn!

How you are cut down to the ground,

    you who laid the nations low!

You said in your heart,

    “I will ascend to heaven;

above the stars of God

    I will set my throne on high;

I will sit on the mount of assembly

    in the far reaches of the north;

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;

    I will make myself like the Most High.”

But you are brought down to Sheol,

    to the far reaches of the pit. (Isaiah 14:12-15)

The Bible frequently uses “the world” or “this world” to refer to the present evil system of opposition to God. So, the Bible never teaches that Satan actually rules over the entire world, but that he is ruler over the current system of sinful opposition to God. In other words, he’s leading the rebellion against God.

When Satan tried to tempt Jesus, while Jesus was 40 days and nights in the wilderness, he was trying to get Jesus to join him in rebellion against God. Satan uses the same tactics against you and me every minute of every day.

So not only does evil exist it’s worse then ever because the time of Jesus’s return is getting very close.

We are going to see the scene in El Paso played out more frequently, I believe.

We all have to be prepared at every minute to meet Jesus. Are you ready, do you know Jesus as your personal Savior. If you do not all you have to do is believe He is the Son of God that God sent to earth as a sacrifice for our sins. If you aren’t sure you are saved please pray the prayer below.

Lord Jesus, for too long I’ve kept you out of my life. I know that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. No longer will I close the door when I hear you knocking. By faith I gratefully receive your gift of salvation. I am ready to trust you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to earth. I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for bearing my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. I believe your words are true. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior. Amen. (Dr. Ray Pritchard)

If you prayed that and meant it know that you are now starting a beautiful journey. Read the Word and pray daily. In the presence of God is where we find our peace.

I believe that just taking assault weapons away won’t stop these senseless killings. It can help but the young man yesterday who murdered and maimed people in El Paso Texas was unemployed and played video games and was online at least, by his linked in account, 8 hours a day. He had no life and I believe he was literally fantasizing he was in the game, by shooting as many as he could. He apparently had never had any boundaries laid out by family who was still letting him live at home while they apparently supported him. He looked depressed in pictures I saw. He may also have been on SSRI uptakers( anti-depressants)

Bottom line evil is increasing. Jesus is coming soon. Be saved. Be aware of your surroundings and know that you belong to God the blood of Jesus covers you, and angels surround you. I cannot and will not live in fear.

Prophetic Word Waiting Is Ending

Waiting Is Ending

My Dearly Beloved Child,

I know that upon hearing this message you May find tears rolling down your face. They are silent tears overflowing from your broken heart.

I know that you have tried to act stronger then you really feel. You have hung on during some really tough times. You have felt at times that you were holding on by only a thread. Inside you wondered if you were going to lose your grip while outside you kept a smile on your face so that no one but Me knew what was really going on inside of you.

You did not just come to listen to this by accident. I drew you here. Nothing happens by accident as I have planned this for you. I know that you need encouragement and because of that you are here to be encouraged. I am making a way out of this unhappy and stressful situation right now. I know that you feel surrounded by problems on all sides, you cannot even think clearly. Inside you think if you had the means you would run far away from this situation and never look back. But you know that it’s not possible and so you go on day after day hoping and praying for a change in these circumstances.

Your waiting is completely coming to an end. Do not be discouraged and believe that your whole life is in turmoil for I declare, My Beloved Child, that this is not the end for you but I am giving you, instead, a beautiful new beginning. I need for you to believe this whether you can see it or not. I know exactly what I am doing. I have planned your life from beginning to end. You have often, because of your own free will and some questionable choices, gone astray but believe that I am going to walk you away from the consequences of your bad choice and onto a new path that I am opening before you.

Beloved child, you have grown in this storm, you are not the same person you were. You have grown stronger with each passing day. You used to go into anxiety at the first sign of a problem. Your heart would race and you would break out in anxiety. Have you noticed that you do not do that as much as you used to? Now, these unplanned interruptions barely phase you. You are becoming an overcomer. I have raised up overcomers that no longer run from the Devil but stand and face him and are teaching others to do the same.

You are different. I did not create you to blend in with the world but to stand out. I am getting ready to bless your faithfulness. I am going to catapult you into success. It’s going to happen quickly when you are least expecting it. You will be given a new opportunity that will move your life in an exciting new direction. When you first realize this you will want to shout it from the rooftops but I advise you to keep quiet while you are being fully established in this new dimension of success. Some people surrounding you are not as loyal as you think they are. They have motives that you cannot trust. That is why I encourage you to keep your new situation between you and I at first. Listen for my still small voice inside of you as I direct your path and pray before making difficult decisions. I will be with you, simply take time to meet with me in your prayer closet each day. Follow my advice and not that if mere humans, there ways are not always my ways and their thoughts are not always my thoughts.

You started with very little but I will bless you, because you stayed faithful to me, with much. I will bless your sacrificial giving too, your giving heart has touched my giving heart. I am a giver too my child, I gave my only son, whom I loved so much, to take the sins of the world on the cross. Stay in faith for the breakthrough you need is coming and you are going to be blessed to be a blessing.

In My Unconditional Love

Daddy God

Isaiah 55:8

King James Bible

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us–none can compare to You–if I would proclaim and declare of them, they are more than could be numbered.

Proverbs 3:6

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall [a]direct your paths.

Satan’s Playground

Posted on by

My Dearly Beloved Child,

Always remember that your mind can easily become the devils play ground. He and his world of dark spirits are masters at imposing their evil influence on you. That place at the top is your mental thought life. The human ability to think, dream, and plan is wonderful, even God-like. Satan has used this ability to put doubt in the minds of people and create havoc in your life’s since the beginning of time.

First Satan used this confusion of thoughts to talk some of the angels into leaving the heavenly realms with him when he rebelled against God. That was the beginning of Satan influencing weak minds through reasoning and imagining thoughts with no basis in reality. He still uses these same tactics today to upset your peace of mind and make you imagine things that are not true.

Go with me to the Garden of Eden. It was paradise with every good and perfect thing I had designed for Adam and Eve. Satan had to find a way to destroy the innocent beauty of the place, exactly as he invents ways to get into the minds of my people and stir up trouble. He started by putting a thought into Eve’s mind that confused her when he said, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” Then Eve began to question Gods motives. My Beloved beware of Satan causing strife in your own life with your own relationships by making you believe things that are not true about your Christian brothers and sisters. Therefore my will to use these people for your own good is often thwarted by false imaginations.

Satan, and Satan alone is the one who stirs up strife with believer against believer. Then in the midst of this strife and confusion the unsaved are more convinced then ever that my people are hypocrites because Satan makes it appear that my people cannot even get along with each other. Beloved of the Lord you must constantly test the Spirits that speak into your mind.

Look at Jesus is the wilderness for 40 days and night. Anytime Jesus got in the flesh, such as when Jesus said, “I hunger.” Satan saw that fleshly moment and said to Jesus, “”If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Then Jesus came to His senses and said to Satan, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”

This is why I tell you to test everything that comes to your mind. If you do not do so Satan will constantly destroy my plans for your life, temporarily , and lead you down the wrong path that will keep your mind confused and unable to see the truth.

Your eyes and your ears are gateways to your mind. Always be careful what you look at, what you listen to and what you entertain yourself with. Don’t stay around negative and foul mouthed people because you become like those you spend the most time with.

Satan will put thoughts in your head to make you doubt my existence and go into exploration of things which seem pleasing and nice to look at and entertain your mind but are not from me.

You are having trouble discerning truth because of a Spirit of imaginations that leads you astray.

This dangerous hour is a repeat of the spirit of evil that plagued Noah’s generation right before judgment came.

I have not left you alone for this downward spiral of evil to consume you. I warned you that this is the conscious storm facing this last generation. The atmosphere is charged with dark and vile imaginations. You must hold your thoughts captive. Do they line up with my Words?

Please look carefully at what is coming against you, everyone you know, and all those you meet every day. These principalities and powers are both evil and unclean spirits. Principalities are generals in Satan’s army of attacking spirits. I named them as “rulers of the darkness of this world.”

Your mind and thought patterns must be of paramount importance to your spiritual life. Do not allow anything negative or disruptive in your spirit to linger more than a few seconds. You can submit yourself to Me, and then you can resist the devil and he has to flee. This has to be a lifestyle, not a one-time battle. Fill your mind with the Bible and the Spirit’s great revelations. Live a clean life so there are not any doors to your spirit by the world of evil. Baptize yourself daily in anointed praying.

In My Unconditional Love

Daddy God

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (II Corinthians 10:4-5).

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the LORD God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” Genesis 3:1

Block Your Haters

Two months ago, while praying and worshiping God, He gave me a scripture. I would open my bible and there it would be. I would pick up a bible, I have several, and it would fall open to this scripture.

In the 43 years I have been saved, backslidden for at least ten before hitting bottom and being restored to relationship with God, I have seen that when God wants to make a point with me He does it several times and uses more then one way to do it.

If you watch my last Prophecy video on You Tube you will hear the prophetic Word God gave me regarding end time demons.

I bring it up because I opened FB this morning to read of several Christians who had been attacked over the weekend. I am talking about verbal attacks. Horrible, ugly things said to and about them by so called “Christians.”

Truthfully it happened to me also. We are entering REVIVAL. God spoke to me that this will be the last great calling away from sin prior to the RAPTURE.

He has been preparing me for my part in this for the last 7 years, though I was not aware of what he was doing until recently.

We are going into an intense battles for souls. There are a lot of people online who call themselves Christians that are not living righteously. They are still dappling with sin. They come online drunk as skunks and spoiling for a fight. They are miserable. They are mad as hornets. They don’t hate You and Me, they hate themselves. They are both intrigued by you and hate you. You are an example of what God can do in a life and the demons operating through them are worried you are making inroads with them and they want you to stop using your gifts to minister to them.

Though the horrible things they say are hurtful we have to ignore them. If they start to disrupt my peace I block them. I minister 7 days a week. In order to do that I have to stay prayed up and covered with the blood. I have had things said to me recently that would make a crow blush. Horrible demonic things. God reminded me this weekend of all the horrible things they did and said to and about Jesus. Can we expect less? We cannot and should not.

If you try and reason with them they become worse. They are doing what the demon operating through them wants to do, destroy your ministry and upset your peace of mind. God has told me to not bother with them because the time is too short.

BLOCK THEM and MOVE ON. We are not the Anti-Christ whisperers. The Holy Spirit can reach them at the right time through someone else, or they will continue their downward descent into hell.

You are in a battle. There will be some lost along the way. Keep pressing forward, beloved of the Lord, and do not look back because the time is too short.

This is the scripture God gave me in preparation for this. Jesus had just come from a time of doing miracles, many miracles and the followed him always wanting another one and another one. This is what Jesus said about them.

John 2:23-25

23Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him.

24But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew all about people.

25No one needed to tell him about human nature, for he knew what was in each person’s heart.

Painful Pasts And Addictions

Posted on by

If you don’t get the infection out of a wound it never completely heals.

If we keep using alcohol, drugs, sex, food or love Addiction to escape the pain, that we are afraid to face, we never heal completely.

There might be a temporary healing, it might form a scab of sorts but if infection is still present, even a tiny bit, it will fester and cause us trouble and pain over and over again.

It takes a conscious effort on our parts to find out exactly what the root of our pain is. It takes getting in and staying in the Word of God. It takes sincere heartfelt prayer asking God to show us the place where depression and emotional pain took root in our spirits. Once we understand where that place of pain originated we can then face it and get it out of our life.

We have to make peace with all the parts of our lives. No ones life is perfect. Bad things may have happened but Praise God they are over now! We made it through them.

Constantly dwelling on past hurtful memories will cause us to stay stuck in a place where we don’t move forward because we are still concentrated on the past.

In order to move forward we have to face the bad memories and look at them fully. We then say, “Past you no longer have a hold on me. What happened, happened. I see it, but I let it go because it no longer defines my life. The Word of God says I am a NEW creation.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 New International Version (NIV)

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!

You, beloved, have the power through Christ, Jesus, to overcome you past and to quit letting it have any control over your current life. When the hurtful thoughts come you choose to dismiss them with thoughts, instead, of the wonderful future God has planned for you.

The choice is YOURS. You no longer have to keep letting the past infect today or tomorrow. Let the wound be healed. Look forward now to the glorious future that can be yours. You know the past was a dark, unhappy place of defeat. Why do you choose to keep visiting it?

I feel impressed to say to you today that some of you are your own worst enemies. You must make a choice daily to walk in abundant new life. You must make a choice to be committed totally to putting the old behind you and daily doing what it takes to get you to your promised land.

If any of your addictions really helped you would not be feeling bad now. There is a big difference between numbing pain and healing pain. God wants you to know TODAY is your day to walk free from Addiction. Today is the day you and God find the strength to move on. You are the only one that can change things. Make up your mind to walk into your glorious future. Tell God you are ready to put the hurt and pain behind! As you do so door after door will miraculously open in front of you!

Hateful Christians

Galatians 6:1-2

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

 

Romans 12:15

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

I find it very hard to ask for prayer. As an retired ordained womens’ minister, and also a counselor, I am usually the one doing the prayer and counseling of others. However, and I am sure this will come as no shock to most of you, I too find myself in need of prayer and counseling from time to time.

God tells us we are to bear one another’s burdens when we are asked.

What we are not to do is give the Christian who has been brave enough, and humble enough, to ask for help an egotistical “ I am perfect and you obviously are not,” reply.

A person told me once that he had gotten to the point where he felt badly about asking for prayer. He said one woman said pointedly to Him, “The Holy Spirit is your counselor!” Then another man said to Him, “Take you burdens to the Lord, son!”

We are at a time in the body of Christ when we make other Christians feel like they are out of step with God when they ask us for prayer one to one!

Saying things like the ones above just pour added guilt on a man or woman of God when asking, out of desperation, for help.

God spoke to me once about using scripture as a weapon. He said, “Don’t do that again because I know your heart, you are trying to use my Word to put that person down!”

Jesus was patient and kind with “sinners.” Yes, we can see if a person is out of Gods will, often by the way they are living. The last thing we want to do is be so rude in telling them what God says about it, in a hateful way, that the person doesn’t lovingly trust us to guide them back to Christ.

God told me to encourage people, that are out of Gods will. That way we can loving lead them back to righteousness by our love expressing the unconditional love of Christ.

When I was backslidden there was a semi-retired minister of God who I worked with. He asked me if I was living with my boyfriend at the time. I said, “Yes.” He said “ Cathie, I love you in the Lord but that’s called fornication and you folks need to get married.” He then left it alone.

Every time he would see me he would say something like, “Baby girl, God loves you!” It started wearing on my conscience because of his love and patience with me. Eventually we got married and he was the pastor that married us. Had he said, “You are a sinner living like the devil and Gods going to send you to hell,” I would have avoided him like the plague.

My point in all of this is simply this, we need to approach folks with love and kindness, meet their needs and not act like demons from hell when approached by folks.

We cannot be mean and ugly to people and expect them to see God in us. The world is full of mean, angry people that are full of judgment. We need to be merciful and lovingly help those who are hurting.

Words That Kill The Spirit

Posted on by

I am a senior citizen. I tell you that because I still have to give to God some of the hurtful, spiteful and frankly demonic things said to me as a child and throughout my life.

I give them to Jesus, I have forgiven those who said them, but Satan gets a lot of traffic from words. I know, if you take off your “Super Christian” hat you will admit it too. Words come back to bite at times when you are not even thinking of them. It’s Satans way of getting as much traction out of mean words as possible!

Bullies love to tear down with WORDS. People have killed themselves over mean words.

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

Being mean with words is a habit, and it’s often learned from a parent who learned it from their parent. It’s a generational curse. It’s time for those reading this with a bad habit of saying mean things to BREAK the generational curse. Stop it now by giving it to God and praying to not endulge in making yourself feel better by making others feel worse. Quit using the “I was just kidding” excuse you weren’t kidding and it’s not funny!

Ephesians 4:29

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Matthew 12:36

I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,

Proverbs 21:23

Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.

Proverbs 15:4

A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

James 1:26

If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.

Colossians 3:8

But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

Don’t Lose Hope!

Posted on by

img_4140-1

“For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and hope!” Jeremiah 29:11

Recently I watched a video in which the woman was talking about a man she had ministered too. She said, “He walked away with renewed hope.”

I got to thinking about that. Beloved, I truly believe that when you lose hope it’s over. Hope is the thing that goes along with our gift of faith. We hope that things will get better or that something will happen to answer our prayer needs and then that hope stirs up our faith and we begin to feel so much better.

The Word says the following; “Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
    but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12

Years ago I would look at some situation and in the natural I would think, “Oh, dear Lord this situation is not good! What do I do Lord, what to I say to this person? I don’t want to lie, Father. What do I tell them?” God gently spoke to my Spirit, “Daughter, you are wrong. THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE! What you see as an impossibility is an opportunity to witness to large groups of people who will be astounded when I miraculously answer this prayer! Don’t ever say that again.”

So, I learned to speak hope into people. I learned to be a possibility thinker. When I counsel people they are desperate for just a glimmer of hope, just a Word letting them know that things can and will get better if they only keep the faith.

The problem with a lot of us is that we think in the natural. We look at something and our minds start to figure out what God needs to do to change the situation. Then we start to pray like this, “Dear God please let Sue talk to my boss and tell her that I need a raise.” Instead God works in mysterious ways and he doesn’t need anybody to tell him how to fix a situation. He has ways that our little human brains have not even thought of.

Now when we need answers, He stands ready to guide us. All we need do is ask and then wait for him to direct us.

I have had God tell me to go into car dealerships without a dime for a down payment and bad credit and as I obeyed him, as crazy as it sounds, I walked out with a very nice car. God had sent angels before me to prepare the way. Everything just simply fell into place. When I walked down the hall to see the sales manager I heard Christian music playing. I begin to get excited and I thought “What should I tell him Father?” God said, “Tell him the truth.” So I did. I laid my whole ugly story out in front of him, thinking he would say, “Well, I am so sorry but I can’t help you!” Instead he said, “I know what you are going through. The same thing happened to me.”

Instead of using your time calling all your Christian friends to pray, why waste your time? You are a child of God. You have the spirit dwelling inside you. Pray and seek an answer from God and then when you feel He is directing you in a certain way do what he tells you to do and DO NOT ask anyone else by saying something like this, “Do you think I heard from God when he told me, “this or that?” Because if your friend doesn’t have your level of faith they will say, “You are nuts, why would God tell you to walk into a car dealership without any money and bad credit and try to buy a car!” But we walk by faith not sight. God honors hope and faith. Don’t second guess him just do what he tells you.

Right now it’s Christmas and a whole lot of you are worried sick about how you are going to get gifts for your children and have a family dinner. I have been in that very place, beloved. The thing to do is to get into prayer and praise and wait on the Lord. He is going to direct you. You will go to a store and just what you need will be on sale, you might win something, something might just appear on your doorstep. Be open and be obedient and then wait on God. Do not lose hope. God inhabits(dwells within) our praises. He will either send us what we need or give us supernatural peace in the midst of our situation.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
    and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

Negative talk, and a lack of belief in God’s supernatural miracles, kills hope and squashes faith. You get your faith up by repeating faith scriptures. When God then answers your prayers it increases your faith.

Quit feeling anxious and sorry for yourself. Start praying and praising and believing for a miracle. Tell God to touch the heart of someone who can help you in whatever way God has for you to be helped. Help someone else in the midst of your need and God will help you.

Tell God, “I do not know how you can do this, but I know you will. I rest in your presence and put my worries here at the foot of your cross.”

Do not lose hope. It may be all you have right now but if you are still able to hope you will be helped by the God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills! Nothing is too much for the God who parted the Red Sea! Nothing.

Being Faithful With What You Have

Posted on by

Your level of blessing is all equal to your stewardship. What you do with what you have determines what more God will give you.

When I was a young mom with four kids I was praying for a bigger house as we had outgrown the little house we were living in.

One day as I was seeking the Lord, while my kids were napping, I cried out to the Lord as to why nothing was moving forward in regards to us being able to get a new house.

As clear as a bell, in my head, the Lord spoke to me, “ My dear daughter look around you. Your home is a mess. If you cannot take care of this house, you are not ready for a bigger one.” I looked around and it was true. I was a stay at home mom at that time. I had no excuse at the time. It was 2 o’clock in the afternoon and dirty dishes were still in my sink.

I got my act together and started taking better care of my house. A year later my husband got a huge raise and we moved to a beautiful, larger home.

Take care of what you have been given by God before you ask for more.

Jesus – “Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won’t be faithful in large ones. If you cheat even a little, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven. And if you are not faithful with other people’s money, why should you be trusted with money of your own? No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” (Luke 16:10-13 )

Be Careful Of Your Words

frustration

I am not usually a complainer. I have found out the hard way that complaining does no good and it actually is a lack of faith. Even as I write this I know that it will work out and that God has this and that it will be okay.

The thing is I am not perfect. You are not perfect either and as long as we wear these suits of flesh we will be subject to having days when we miss it, we miss the mark.

I was so looking forward to today for the longest time. Why you ask? Today was to be the very last student loan payment I had to make. I have had them automatically taken out of my account and today was to be the last day of a payment that would have been a car payment for most people. Instead we drive a 17 year old car, it looks okay and is in good condition and we are blessed to have it.

I woke up at 2:30 AM and was excited to check my account to make sure that the one last payment was gone and I would have the full amount of my direct deposit. Note to self, do not check you bank account at 2:30 AM when customer service everywhere is closed. So sure enough instead of the amount of my last payment, the department of education took out a whole lot more. I was in shock. I had no idea what was going on. The very next thought I had was, “ Why God? Can’t just one thing go right in my life?”

I slept little as I waited for Customer Service at the Department Of Education to open. I kept telling myself that God has this. I need to sleep and get my rest. But since I couldn’t seem to find a rational reason for what was happening I had a hard time doing that.

Finally I get through and I got a guy who must have been on his first day on the job today. I had him on speaker phone and both my husband and I were in shock. I could not get him to understand what had happened. He said, “Would you like to set up payments?” I said, several times, “I am calling because today was the last day of making payments and you not only took my payment but 3 times my payment.” He just couldn’t understand and I asked for a supervisor. By now my husband and I could not believe that the Dept. of Education, of all places, had people working there who couldn’t understand my problem. I also realized now that it was a Satanic attack. I couldn’t explain it any other way. No one could be that confused.

Finally I get the supervisor who tells me that I have to summit a paper to have the payments stopped and that he can do this for me. I told him that I was told they would be stopped automatically when the loan was paid off and he informed me that I was wrong. He also gave me the bad news that it would be 45 days before I could get the amount over and above my payment removed and refunded. To cheer me up he told me he would send me a letter stating my account to be paid in full. No reason for why this happened but he says it happens often. Great!

I am learning to live one day at a time. Anytime I make plans for the future I often have them not come through and I often have to start over in another direction anyway.

God tells us to live one day at a time like the Israelites who God would only give manna to for one day at a time. God knew that if they had plenty they would not put him first. I would like to think I would never, at this point in time, NOT put God first. But God knows us better then we know ourselves.

I had plans for a real turkey dinner this year with all the trimmings and a Christmas tree because I had to sell mine when everything went to heck in a hand basket financially because of my husbands 3 month hospital stay and all the bills that went with it. Now, it will be slim pickings but I thank Him that at least we have a roof over our head and others do not.

One more thing….We have to be so careful with the words that come out of our mouths. My husband and I pray together daily and each time we say the following, “No weapon formed against us will prosper!” They don’t prosper but they do happen. Today for example, it isn’t prospering but it is going to be hard for the next couple of months.

I said to my husband today, “We need to change our decree. We need to pray that we have no weapons formed against us at all. He agreed.

So I wrote this for a couple of reasons. So many times because I don’t complain people think I live in this wonderful bubble. It’s not true. Most of the time it’s just the opposite. Satan throws darts at me daily. I have learned, as hard as it is, that I must trust in God. Everything will work out. It always does. Today would have been an easy day for me to say, “That’s it, I cannot take anymore, God!” I made the CHOICE to keep on being faithful to Him. He is all I have and nothing bad comes from His hands.

Secondly, we MUST WATCH OUR PRAYERS! We might be using words that are actually cursing our situation and not helping it.

I have learned that what you say is what you get. From now on I will accept no weapon thrown against us! I will watch my words.

You have to be careful and precise with your prayers. For instance don’t just pray for a Christian mate but be specific with God. Write down 5 things your Christian mate needs to have for you to be happy with them. You don’t want just a Christian mate. You want one that prays with you, that knows the Word of God, that puts God first and you second. Then get specific with the physical attributes.

We must be so careful with our words. I do not want weapons formed against us to not prosper, I just don’t want weapons thrown at us from Satan at all.

In His Unconditional Love,
Cathie
