Please take time to read this?! It's kinda long, but could make the greatest difference in your life today and forevermore!!! Love y'all!!!
Good evening friends and family, below is a photo I took as I visited the residence of my loving brother Bobby and his amazing wife Carrie. My visit revealed some things that I'd like to share for inspirational purposes. As I took a look around to see just what they had been doing with their lives, moreso what God has been doing in their lives. As always, specific things spoke volumes which words could never describe. Now keep in mind, I'm extremely observant, and it's a gift that God has blessed me with which enables me to see past the circumstance into the realm of what generally goes unnoticed for the most part. It helps me of coarse, but also allows me to see, "what's really going on" in the lives of those within the realm of my influence, if you will?! This gift is prophetic in a sense, but completely intertwined with my God given intelligence and other qualities He's gifted me with to be used to aid and assist others along the way, and to glorify Him in the process. I like to call it "provided oversight", this with all things pertaining to God's Word but also how it applies to our lives in most cases. The prophets of old had this gift and they were known to the people as "seers". In short, they could clearly see things that we or the people as a whole couldn't/can't quite see for what it truly was/is. I haven't at this time, the needed time to explain all the details, however in the future, I'll likely share this knowledge as God permits. So now, back to the picture. The picture displays a reminder for the family, which at first may seem basic or boring, but I'd like to elaborate a bit to help those reading better understand. The partial verse is from one of my favorite character's writings in the Bible, who's name is David. He is quite possibly one of the most famous kings ever recorded in history. He was a man aquatinted with struggles of all sorts, who trusted God with all his heart no matter what life threw at him. In the 23rd Psalm, the verse actually reads, "He (God) restores my soul (life) for His (God's) namesake." Many people don't know the importance of word study break down when it comes to properly studying the Word of God/the Bible, but in the original manuscripts the Jewish, Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic dialects used very distinct wording which causes the meaning to sometimes get "lost in translation". In some/various verses the English word, "soul" was literally translated from a root word which really means, "life". A man's/woman's "soul" sometimes is described by or consisting of, the "life span" of the individual, or a man's/woman's being (as a whole) from start to finish rather than a from the three part form of his/her's existence (Body, soul, and spirit). Now in David's experience the restoration of his soul consisted of "complete restoration" (inside and out). This also applies to everything he'd lost or seemingly lost in the process. I've said all this to say one thing, and that is that regardless what your presently facing or whatever it is that the enemy is currently using to torment you or trouble you. Our God has been, is now, and always will be in the business of restoring all things. I just want to tell you today that no matter how things look, when Jesus, up on that cross at Calvary, uttered those Words, "it is finished". He meant it, and the work was, is, and will forever be done. The battle may seem a sudden defeat, but the war is already won. Nothing in all creation, in the heavens above, or the earth below will ever alter a single Word which God has spoken. The gates of Hell will not prevail, and every demonic influence or force in Hell cannot change it!!! God is moving even now in your circumstances to make greatness from what seems insignificant, and He alone is more than able to bring beauty from the ashes of your life. Do not doubt for even a moment, let no fear rule in your lives, but let faith have it's perfect work in you and in everything you encounter in this life. The eye sees clouds and rain, but if it weren't for the sun's shining behind those clouds the eye would see nothing. Chin up soldiers, victory is ours, all we have to do is fight from it rather than for it!!! Have a blessed evening, my prayer's are with you all, and His blessing upon you in all you do, in Jesus' name, AMEN!!!!!!!
