There is a war going on so pull up your boot straps baby and as

Eph 6:11-13 KJV

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 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.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

The problem for Satan is that he knows his time is coming to an end because the Kingdom of God is at hand and Jesus return is soon to come!!! So the evil in the world unfortunately will get worse but we as God's children have to stand up and fight in the Spirit and keep praying for one another and keep telling people to prepare for the Kingdom of God is at hand!!!

Divination: according to the Bible in

Deuteronomy 18:10-11 Amplified Bible

10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire [as a sacrifice], one who uses divination and fortune-telling, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 

11 or one who casts a charm or spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or a necromancer [who seeks the dead].

If you notice the times we are in everything going on right now it's definitely everything that God is saying in deuteronomy that should not be happening but it's all over social media just bold and upfront in our faces to see it! Witchcraft!!!

the whole motive of witchcraft is a spirit of control by any means necessary! That's why it comes in to try to lure us away from Christ sometimes even appearing like it's good or shedding light on things but we must remember that

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 Amplified Bible

14 And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 So it is no great surprise if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, but their end will correspond with their deeds.

Don't be deceived God still reigns!!! Satan was lucifer and angel created by God to worship him and then lucifer became puffed up in his heart against God and so he is a fallen angel and is now called Satan whom was sent to earth in it's darkness and unformed state to rule over it. But Satan got even more angered because God formed earth and all it's glory and gave dominion to mankind and so he is big mad!

Since Satan is prince will the power with rule of the air only with the power God gives him over unbelivers and evil he trues to influence evil works on people and different territories. There are different spirits in operation in different regions of the world Which is why you see the same types of crimes in the same locations because that particular power, ruler, spirit is in operation over that area. We have to remember that there is two kingdoms the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of darkness and be mindful that the kingdom of darkness is not divided against itself be certain that they have no division in evil mind!!! However, we most remember also that darkness can't comprehend light and we are the light of the world a, city sat on a hill cannot be hid so we are sitting high looking low so in other words God put us in a position that if we trust him we can see our emenies afar off. But we still need to be ready for war not just a physical war but a spiritual war. It's sad that we can tell the times and seasons by looking at the earth and can look at the stars and sun and moon and know what phase it's in but can't tell when a demonic force is trying to take are over a territory. Not just a physical location but if we are keen in the Spirit since we were Spirit first God created us to also be able to know when the air ain't quite right. There is a scripture that says to shout unto God....if we shout in Jesus name we will disturb the air and kick Satan's Kingdom down.

Psalm 47 Amplified Bible

47 O clap your hands, all you people;

Shout

No masks in worship! God wants us to come to him naked and even afraid if that is our truth .

John 4:24 KJV

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

As broken vessels to begin with;  God comes and wraps us up in his love and his holy spirit on the inside of us makes us whole by mending all the broken pieces of our lives. Although there is still a breaking away that happens when covered by God; without him we would completely fail apart. With God and in God he keeps all our fragments together while simultaneously allow our brokenness to fall by the waste side. He allows pieces of us that no longer support the foundation he has created for us to fall alway from us while he holds us together with what we think are just scraps but God continues to use the areas that were broken to make us whole in him so his Glory is Revealed. That's why no masks are required in God's presence because he had already seen our nakedness and in fact he created us to come into this world with it we will leave this world symbolically naked meaning there might be clothing on the corpse that used to house our soul but we will be with him and our corpse will return to the dust of the earth with out being able to take anything with it. So when are in God presence we dont need to bring anything extra with us. We dont need no titles, no money, no pride, no ego, no masks!! We are in this broken vessel mended by the wholeness of God he requires no facade to hide ourselves in fact when Adam and Eve sinned they hid from the Lord and tried to cover their nakedness because they were made aware only after they sinned that they were naked. God asked Adam where he was but not necessarily where he was physically but spiritually because God could feel a shift in the Spirit realm that would cause Adam to hide so that causes God to want to find the real you. No masks required in a time of uncertainty in a time of wearing mask for protection for over 2 years but when we go in our security of our secret place with our loving Heavenly Father we need to present ourselves in his presence just like we are. We do need to come with humility, gratefulness, and Thanksgiving first honoring him but we can come to God with the truth about how we feel about how we messed us no masks required, no secret rooms to hid  in the shadows to confess our sins no need to shed blood to atone for our sins because Jesus paid it all. We just need to verbally repent and ask God for forgiveness and really mean it in our hearts and work on that change. God's Glory is Revealed Through our brokenness so no longer do we need to hid those seemingly imperfect parts of our lives to get to God and bask in his presence. That's the whole reason that God rent the vail from the inner court and the Holies of Holies because at one point in time only the priest could go inner the holies of Holies on our half and now I have access to the inner court at anytime because he put his most prized possessions which is his Holy Spirit on the inside of us. If we live our life without our mask or performances God can truly use who we are for his plan and purpose for our lives. A part of no masks required is the fact that those that worship the Lord in spirit and in truth! We can't be living a fairytale and worship God if something isn't right tell God he wants to know. Listen, because my Heavenly Father is even concerned with the number of hairs on my head than surely he will care about me and my feelings because we are his reflection so the very feelings we have come from God he has feelings. I think people forget that what we look like is his reflection and his image so we are love, peace, joy, fearfully and wonderfully made! We can be kind and we can be hard-core but we our his!! We belong we matter, we are the raiment, no mask required!!!

1 Peter 2:9

9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the p

You can't have grace without love and you can't have love without grace and mercy God is Love and he is mercy and he is grace there is no separation. That is why God can be all things to all men(mankind) we have to realize that whatever troubles we face we have to know that God put his Glory in earthen vessels that were common and easily broken. I believe one reason was to confuse the emeny to make him ask why we would still praise God in the mist if our trouble and pain but the breaking of the vessel was the whole plan to reveal God's Glory!!! Just like in order to get the oil out of an oilve it must be crushed but know that God doesn't plan to destroy us he just wants our earthen vessels to reveal him and his power. So that's why trails and tribulations happen and that's why we praise God at all times

As Psalm 34:1 KJV (King James Version) says

34 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

God doesn't just want some of us he wants all of us. That the excellency of his power will make us strong when we are weak!!! God's power is his awesomeness and weightiness which under the pressure of it our earthen vessel breaks to expose the weight of Glory we hold on the inside of us so that God gets the Glory out our of lives!!!!

2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-18KJV

16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:17

AMPC

16 Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day.

17 For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!],

18 Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

Romans 8:18 KJV(KING JAMES VERSION)

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Romans 8:18 AMPC(Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)

18 [But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and [a]for us and [b]conferred on us!

God has created us after his image and likeness therefore we have the power of Life and death in our tongue (see James Chapter 3)

James 3:5-6 KJV

5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Hebrews 11:3 KJV

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

So being that In Hebrews 11 the World was formed by the Word of God we can speak in and to our situations!!!

I CAN CALL THOSE THINGS AS THOUGH THEY BE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT! I have the power through the Holy Spirit to speak things into existence!!! I can speak to the mountain(s) and say be thou removed and be cast into the sea! I can speak to my health, to my money and even speak back to the emeny and tell him to flee. I  can speak to God in prayer and if my ways please him he will give me the desires of my heart. I speak to my mind will and emotions to bring balance to myself and speak positive affirmations and scriptures over myself and my family, friends, and foes. So if I can speak all those things then when choas arises I can then therefore speak to my peace and tell it not to leave. I can speak to the peace of the Lord in and over my life and say peace be still!!! If I believe that which I speak is a gift from God why wouldn't I receive it!!! Therefore I speak peace into everything every situation and circumstance and I don't want peace to move so I say Peace be still!!! If I receive it God will give me a peace that will surpasses my understanding.  I will have so much peace in the Lord it won't make any sense how calm I am in the storm. Seek peace, be peaceful and tell your Peace to be still!!!

John 1:1-3 KJV

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

So in other words we are speaking Jesus when we speak which is why it works to speak the Word of God over our lives and since he is the Prince of Peace I can say Peace be Still and then you will find yourself resting in his arms in the very presence of God!!!

John 14:27 KJV

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Oh taste and see that the LORD is good!! Let's us Exalt his name together!!!

Have you ever tried a new food and you had to trust your choice the right place and even after looking at the menu you question if you chose the right dish. The other hurdle is if someone recommended the place and they love it now you have to trust their words from their experience. When God is telling us to Taste or rather try him and trust him that he will give you water that if you drink of him you will never thirst again!!! But those that do hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled!!! Jesus is the bread of life. So if we would but oh taste and see what he has in his word and in him; because he is the Word he will have no need for another meat for the bread of Gods Word will do. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God!!! So you see it's all about trying life on God's way and on his terms and trusting and having faith in him that no matter the path he has already ordered or steps. He knows the way we should take. He knows the plans he has for us plans to bless us and not harm us. For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

— Jeremiah 29:11 confirms that for us..

For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '” — 

He knows our expected end he knows!! God knows the end before the beginning because he ordained us for those very moments. So why wouldn't I want to try God on his word and trust in him with all my heart, mind and soul. There is nothing in me and nothing in this world that will deliver me from me unless I evite Holy Spirit in to fill me with his power, love, joy, patience, temperance, meekness back to those fruits again. Because God speaks to us in a language we understand so he will use what he created  and what our area is he created for us to show us the way around in and on our journey. Therefore for me trusting in the Lord is inevitable!!! It will happend one way or the other. I'd like to take the best less stressful way then having to redo lessons that I didn't have to. So I chose to trust God now in the mist of my situations and circumstances because he holds the key to unlock all the answers that I need.  God you are so good and I trust you today and forevermore!!!

Psalms 34:8 kjv

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Lamentations 3:25-26

25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; 26 it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.

A tale of survival

What if we looked at our journey in this life like a worn garment? It was at one point in time new right? But what sacrifices went into getting the raw materials in order to create the garment that is supposed to be used to make something new. What happened in the process of sewing the threads together? What happened while shipping the raw materials? What deals were made? What sacrifice did these raw materials produce? What decisions had to be made? There is a lot to do, a lot to think about when creating something. Thank God he already created everything we already need but often times than not he gives us raw materials and wants us to sacrifice to get inspiration to gain knowledge in this walk of our life to get to a finished result. We have to know that in this life we might start of as a raw material but once God gives us the vision and we sacrifice to do the work to create something in this life at each stage there is a chance of survival there is a chance we will have to do what we need to do within him to survive. Just like that shiny new thread used to create the garment of your life you see a stubborn stain What have we been taught to do is to wash, Rinse and repeat until the stain is removed. But if you know anything about fabric the more porest the fabric is the harder it is to get the stain out of it and if you dry the garment  the stain can become permanent!! The more you wash the garment the lighter the stain but the garment was dyed so the color is getting lighter so what do you do? Like our life we have to wash in the word of God and rinse in Prayer and when we fill like the load is getting lighter but the stains of this life are not yet removed the act of survival is to find what works and work it. Sometimes we dont have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to God we need to wash, rinse and repeat!!!

Just know Isa 61:3 KJV To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

So I saw wash in the Word of God rinse in Prayer giving God praise while walking in thanksgiving and repeat!!!

Attitude of Gratitude: Rehearse Your Victories!!

Attitude: a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person's behavior. It is also a position of the body proper to or implying an action or mental state.

Gratitude: the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

Rehearse: transitive verb. : to say again : repeat. : to recite aloud in a formal manner. : to present an account of : relate. rehearse a familiar story.

Whenever we get a chance to open our eyes with fresh breath in our lungs and God allows for us to wake up to another day. That is a reason to celebrate! Now you can have a party if you want to but something that's free is to posture our attitude for Gratitude and rehearse our victories. The Word of God even tells us to boast in the Lord!!!

1 Corinthians 1:31 Amplified

31 so then, as it is written [in Scripture], “HE WHO BOASTS and GLORIES, LET HIM BOAST and GLORY IN THE LORD.”

We can do this by way of worshiping God on a daily basis to show our love, admiration, and our gratefulness!!! It might cost you your time but God even gave us that as he doesn't even operate in time. He gave it to us to be able to tell the time and seasons from  another not so he would have to operate in the same. We as humans beings need structure and things in place to function which is why Jesus was always the plan because he already flooded the whole earth once and vowed to never do it again with water which is why the rainbow is in the sky after the rain. When I see it I immediately praise God because he keeps his word and his promises. A rainbow is enough to make me praise his name because it serves as a reminder that he can destroy us for our sins but as a loving, gracious, and merciful Father he doesn't.

So I will boast in the Lord and about the Lord for who he is and what he has done, is doing and will do for and through me and all. We must know that

Psalm 24:1 KJV

1. A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Therefore we must rejoice that even when we are persecuted for Jesus name sake we were bought with a price and our lives are not our own. Which is why the battles we face also belong to the Lord. We can rejoice and rehearse our victories boasting in the Lord when we tell of him and his goodness even in the mist of adversity. It might not always be easy but it can be done through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Faith comes by hearing and that by the Word of God which means the more we rehearse God's word we will produce faith and actually believe it. Thus, pleasing God because the just shall live by faith alone. God loves us but he wants to hear about it and what's to know that we trust him even when life doesn't appear as we think it ought to be.

Having an attitude of Gratitude is having a position a posture we take in our bodies; our mind, will, and emotions and taking what we have overcome and testifying of Jesus and not sitting in mere survival. Survival is not good enough to just have made we have to procalm or like Paul says we must apprehend that which have apprehended me! We can chase God in our hearts and in the way we live, in the way we think, talk, act, and respond to our lives and choose to be thankful in spite of hardship.

We are able to do this...

Revelation 12:11 KJV

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

John 12:25

Amplified Bible

12. The one who loves his life [eventually] loses it [through death], but the one who hates his life in this world [and is concerned with pleasing God] will keep it for life eternal.

So our focus should be on God anyway so why not start with our prayer, our worship, and our testimony!

As we are new creatures in Christ therefore we can rehearse the victory of another chance at this thing called life and Gl

Fruits that remain are love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, temperance,(self control)

long suffering

Galatians 5:22-23

King James Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

What has so beset you that you would loose your fruit? What happened to your love walk and love talk? Did you allow the test to hinder you from a greater testimony?

It's an honor and a joy to be salt and light to the earth. We do this not in our own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit within us. To God be the glory in our lives. May the world see Jesus today and every day through us.

Matthew 5:14

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Matthew 5:1-16

The Sermon on the Mount

1When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

 2and He began to teach them, saying:

The Beatitudes

Matthew 5: 3-16

3“Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Blessed are those who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

5Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the earth.a

6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Blessed are the pure in heart,for they will see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 

12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

Salt and Light

Matthew 5:13-16

13You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

14You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 

16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Psalm 119:130 kjv

130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

So the more word of God that you take in you the more light you will also have in you because Jesus is the light and he is also the word!!! The More Word, the More Jesus, the more Jesus, the more light, the more light, the more your fruit will remain 🙏🏾

So much so that we become like Matthew 5:14 says A city sat on a hill that can't be hid everything grows in light

We must be evaluating ourselves often, replacing worldly values with godly ones

 Colossians 3:1-17 KJV

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scyth

In, God, we are alike but not the same. God created us all after his image and likeness and therefore his attributes as loving diety is being a triune-Godhead(Father, son, and Holy Spirit)(God thinks it, Jesus  says it and the Holy Spirit moves and does it everything changes)  he loves us and wants us to mirror him in our actions and our love but he didn't want robots. Therefore he created reflections of himself and through his power, which is the Holy Spirit uses willing vessels to work on earth on his behalf. The earth is God's foot stool and we are his people, his children,  his flock. He created a place for us that we will dwell in as heaven his his throne, for us to rule like he rules in heaven. He knew that if the free moral agents he created would lovingly accept the Holy Spirit that his power could manifest in so many ways. Same Spirit, different operations, like-minded folks used, but different characteristics. God created lots of different moving parts none greater than the other, which when all fitly joined together in unity will be a spiritual atomic bomb on the emeny!!! God has giving us the power to speak words audibly and we have the ability to understand God's voice and listen, comprehend so many blessings come with being God's child. Like with any loving parent will love on their children God is the epitome of love because he is just that pure unadulterated love. There is nothing missing and or broken about God's love. In fact it will cover the multitude of sins. Since Jesus became sin something God hates, even though he never sinned and Jesus is God made flesh. Jesus was willing to be born to became what displeased God and die so when God would see us he would see Jesus because he will remember Jesus' sacrifice for us and then have mercy on us. Therefore we are the multitude and our sins are far greater but through  Jesus' passion, his Death and his resurrection we are covered by love and are no longer subjected to the things of this world. We are in this world but are of the kingdom of God therefore greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world and though this life be temporary it's but for a moment God really established his kingdom with Jesus and now in and through us. He didn't leave us without giving gifts to all mankind but not for us to sit on but to use!! Since God didn't make clones our individual impact is necessary and much needed in the world today like never before. So with all that being said we need the manifestation of the Holy Spirit to lead us and see us through

1 Corinthians 12:7-11

(7) But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: (8) for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, (9) to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, (10) to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. (11) But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

That's why it's God's Holy Spirit within us once we accept Jesus as our Lord and saviour but our characteristics that God uses to get his message through to others that are simular to us that can relate to us or we them based on our testimonies and us expressing how we have made it over and come through. So don't think you have to fit a mold of others God only made one you there is no one like you or I we are the designers original after his image and likeness our character, our love, our mind, and emotions which is why we still need God because we have been marred by the Potter being a lot of us have had trials and tribulations so God knows we are imperfect.  But if we decrease and allow God to arise in us and let his emenies be shattered God can put his perfect on our imperfect and reveal our reflection of him and he gets th

Be very careful to covet your neighbor's anything because God says Jealous is as cruel as the grave!!! So why would you want to act like a dead thing just because someone has something you don't? Jealously is what caused Cain to kill Abel his brother!

Lots of situations arise in our lives to make us wish that the grass is greener on the other side. Meaning that people are looking into a situation dimly without really knowing the truth about how a person is where they are. Remember when I said that facts don't always align to God's purpose and plan for our lives but the truth of God's Word is what we need to stand on? That is true about the seasons of life as we can find ourselves in and that is why society paints this somewhat vivid picture of possibilities! We have movies, music and TV shows that romanticize picture perfect lives and if we are not careful we too can fall into the traps of coveted some fiction. Fiction by definition is a belief or statement that is false, but that is often held to be true because it is expedient to do so.

So social media can be used by Satan as a vice since anything over the airwaves is free game. That's were we as God's children come in at and we have to learn how to build up a spiritual filtration system in and around ourselves and in our life in general so that we are not subject to fall into jealousy. God has no respect or person he will make it rain on the just and the unjust. Sometimes rains comes in the form of washing away the bad so the good can grow. But the rain can also uncover deep dark dirty secrets if we are not careful. We feel like a social media post really shows the true nature of someone's life but truthfully that might be that person's only outlet from a hell that they face everyday. They may not have come to terms with what ills them so they create this persona to create an atmosphere they are loved, safe, and without harm. Then you see their post and because you let down your spiritual filtration guards you are vulnerably and aimlessly scrolling and find their post and the emeny seems to elevate in your ears what they are pretending to have but probably worst off than you and blinds your discernment and now you are coveted a lifestyle this person doesn't really have. Making permanent decisions and life choices over temporary things and fictional characters acting outlife on their own terms. When God called you out of your mess and because you had a bad moment in time you want to throw it all away because someone got a house or car before you! But because you don't have it either and you slipped and lost focus on God's plan you now fall into jealousy. You fall into envy and self-pity oh I should be driving that car, I should be rich like them. I want this and I want their life. Whoa?
