Well, it's been a while since I've been on here. It's been an interesting month. I believe there's a reason for me to be writing. After I started this, I was attacked physically. I had in issue come up that hasn't been a problem for me in a couple of years. In fact, it's a pain that the doctors haven't been able to identify. Seems to hit me most when I'm moving to a new level spiritually. So..I stood against it. I've learned that some things we won't stand against because we will just tolerate them. No more for me. I won't tolerate those things anymore. I received victory when I stood against it. Praise the Lord. In the last week or so I've had several "light bulb" revelations. I love it when God just pours into us like that. I'll share the most recent one. Remember singing the song, "The Joy of the Lord is My Strength?" I've known that scripture for as long as I can remember. But I never really got it like I do now. I'm down to the last couple pages of "The Call" by Rick Joyner. It was talking about what brings God joy. That Jesus died on the cross so through that we can bring God joy through worship. It's through us having that heart connection and reaching out to God in worship that brings him joy. I know I've quoted that scripture to myself many times and prayed that God would give ME joy...cuz that's where my strength comes from. I wasn't getting it! My strength comes from worshiping God from my heart no matter what my situation is or what I'm going through. Bringing Him joy brings strength to me! Isn't that so cool? I finally got it! Thank you God for that revelation!
