Hey Neighbor!
It’s Another Flashback Friday!!
I was hoping to share the second portion of My cousins ‘important paper’ search: Take Off Your Cape and Rest in Christ’s Cape-ability.
But since it seems to have disappeared from my previously published posts, I decided to share this one instead.
It might seem a little graphic to some, but it’s time to stop sugar coating the truth!!
It’s time for real talk…with real Christians!!
Enjoy🤩
*********************************************
My 5 year old son, Hubie has a habit of yelling at our 14 year old daughter, Allie…in total rebellion to her attempts to redirect him.
He Screams…
“Allie!! I can have WHATEVER I WANT!!”
Wow!!
Listen to the cry of the flesh!!
I know You hear it too!!
…those ear-shattering screams…coming from within Your soul…Crying Out,
“Give me EVERYTHING I want!!”
Give Me chocolate…
Buy me shoes…
Satisfy my sexual cravings…etc, etc…
Give me Everything I want!!!
But Why So Loud??
Well, The Flesh is attempting to drown out the humble cries of the Holy Spirit…Who is gently attempting to redirect Us…and get Us back on the right track with God.
He reminds Us that overindulging in chocolate will only make Us fat…
And those shoes will make Our ‘dogs bark’…
And sex- outside of marriage – will make Us itch and burn!!
Lol!!
The Holy Spirit is right there…gently urging Us to set Our sights on something greater than that which this world can offer…on those things that give Us eternal fulfillment…and on Someone Who can fill Our hearts with all that we thought was missing…and more!!
See Neighbor…Your heart does not have a hole shaped like a Hershey’s bar…nor does it have a shoe-shaped hole…and no style of sex can penetrate this hole. Lol!!
Why??
Because this hole that We all have been foolishly trying to fill is a Jesus-Shaped Hole‼️
Behold…Jesus is standing at the door of Your heart, knocking….
Can You hear Him??
Then…Go Ahead and Welcome Him In, and Give Him first place in your life..
Let His Holy Spirit Lead, Guide, and Direct You into All Truth…and Teach You to set Your sights on an Eternal life with Jesus in Heaven…
Where Ultimately…
You Will Have EVERYTHING That You Want!!
-Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need-
(Matthew 6:33)

Hey Sister straight talking Tam. 😊😁 Absolutely nothing can fill the void in the human heart that belongs to God. What a peace, fulfilling and joy we find when we trust our mind, will and emotions to him. All for he worlds empty promises are worth nothing compared to the love of God. Bless you my dear. 💗💖❤️🥰😍😘💫

That is the message that no one wants to hear. The flesh is subdued by mortification which is fasting. That is God’s way. It is a wonderful way but no one wants to fast. I got to the end of my fast. and thought I would never eat what was normal. But He gave me so much back that it was hard to start eating again. I had so much comfort in fasting. He draws so near and close and makes it wonderful. But He never gives us back the Hershey Bars or addictive foods like sugar and caffeinated drinks. Everyone wants their sweets and their coffee. But it is just not healthy. The Holy Spirit does not bless what is not good for us.
I am so glad you put this one together. It is so needed! So many are addicted to foods and will suffer when the prophesied “Famine” hits.🌈❤🦅

“Show me how you work, God; School me in your ways. Take me by the hand; Lead me down the path of truth. You are my Savior, aren’t you? Mark the milestones of your mercy and love, God; Rebuild the ancient landmarks! Forget that I sowed wild oats; Mark me with your sign of love. Plan only the best for me, God!”
Psalms 25:4-7 MSG
Lord, EVERYTHING You want, everything I need to be, for Your glory!

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
Psalm 37:4
This is one of my favorite passages, and I’m not real sure why it reminds me of my dad. Maybe it is because my dad was content in life as it was, having his necessities met, and knowing that his Father always provides.
My take on this verse is that when desiring to please the Lord takes first place then his desires become your desires, everything else loses its luster, and fades away.
God giving you the desires of your heart will be fully satisfied when your desire is to do his will. I could easily make a whole message of this thought.
God bless
