I am still overflowing with yesterday's message! How can anyone read those words and not be overwhelmed by knowing that our Messiah is coming to take us home! Today, the rubber meets the road though ....
vs 5 ... "Do you have any idea how far you have fallen? A Lucifer fall!"
Ouch.
I know ... I was there. I allowed Satan to use me for so many years. How he must have delighted in me!! The road I have traveled since turning from him has been arduous but completely worth it!
vs 7 ... "Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches..." It is so easy to turn to each other so that we can hearf what we *want* to hear, but how often do we quiet ourselves to and listen to what we are *supposed* to hear? The Spirit is there every day speaking to us - too bad we drown out The Voice with all of our unnecessary garbage and the incessant whining of our own voices!
And, just for the record, I am completely guilty of this as well. In fact, I become very reliant on other people's opinions of what I am doing or what I should be doing. Thankfully, God has blessed me by surrounding me with people that are in the Spirit!
vs 10 ... "I have a Life-Crown sized and ready for you." I am the daughter of the King of Kings! I am a member of His royal family! He has hand-crafted a crown solely for me, and it will fit perfectly ... I am His princess.
vs 23 ... "I x-ray every motive and make sure you get what's coming to you." When I read this, I am reminded of those insane TV evangelists that make most Christians cringe. Or of politicians who are underhanded. Or of just about anybody else who is put in a position of authority over us in order to guide us and protect us, but who end up doing the exact oppisite. God not only know exactly WHAT we are doing, He knows exactly WHY we are doing it.
What will He see when I step up to His x-ray machine? I am a little afraid to ask, actually...
