It has been a few years. Good to see some names I recognize still here; maybe a few of you recognize mine as well. Alot has happened since my last time here. A living testimony...yes, I am.. The journey continues, with Him, in Him, by Him, for Him. Praise God for it. He is worthy.

Thanks, mother passed away 2 yrs ago, 5 yrs ago my son was sentenced to 45 yrs, community robbed mine and mothers house, then burned me out.
Ran from God, got mad at God, entertained devilish thoughts while drowning myself in drugs, however, did not react. Praise God, He kept me from destroying myself, and the bars of this world has vomited me out with my feet shod, my helmet on, my breastplate snugly fitted, my loins girth is true, my shield is stronger then ever, and my sword burns a hole through my heart for those who are not able to discern their right hand from their left.
I praise God for He has delivered me from bondage, and has lifted me up. The people that have been devious against me, well... God's word does not return to him void. Lol.

Dear Sister!
Know that you have been missed!
How have you been?

I hope you will share on how your journey has been in walking with the Lord!
Know you were always a blessing to me.

I am so glad that you are back dear sister.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Dear Sister,
I hope the bitterness that was in the heart of your mother was a thing of the past before her passing. I know how difficult that was for you when she reached out to you when she was diagnosed with cancer. My heart goes out to you that the lack of love in this world, moved you to running away from the Lord. As you found out, He won't let us go once we are His! Alleluia, for that!

The difficulties with your son, might have found him peace in being incarceration. Since there is no where to go, and time to deal with. Many of the institutions provide Bibles to them, and the time though great, will I pray be what opens not only his heart, but spirit to receiving our Lord!

You are remembered and missed dear one.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

@Christ4Ever, yes...no matter where I was or what I was doing, yes, I have been a witness for the Lord. Into some of the darkest valleys I have been, doing what they do, my rag of stars for my crown, and the glory of God shining through. When He tells me; no weapon formed against me shall prosper... I believe it. Yes, He is still with us, even when we try to run away, Jonah. He chastens those He loves. Praise God for all His blessings.

She went to hospital and I was coming down the hall singing... Will the circle be unbroken... it carried through the halls, and silence except for the song. I entered her doorway and she lot up... I got Jesus, I got Jesus! I crawled straight up the bed over her and kept singing, she chimed in. Now, song over, and a pressure in the back of my head I turned to look at the doorway, and many faces did I see, mainly nurses and staff. The lady across the hall from momma was crying out "help me! " anymore either. She found an inner peace and was silent. Momma came home and passed before hospice could even get her set up. She was at peace but three days after she passed, the back door flung open and a rushing mighty wind blew through me and around me in the hallway, and straight out the patio door those spirits went. They were aggressive and violent, I felt no sense of peace within the whirlwind that came rushing by. I prayed God forgive her, she knows not what she does. That is all I will testify to that. Amen
 
@Christ4Ever there is no love in the world but worldly love, it was the lack of love and persecution from those that said they belonged to God that caused me to run. For if they have done it to Him, they will do it to you. I already knew this and it had already been done, however, if they that carry His love can be so coldhearted and cruel to a sister...how much worse would I get from the worldview? I found out the worldview is where the love is. I was broken and much in need. They gave me clothes, shoes, bar soap and a toothbrush. A place to lay my head, because those that called me sis and said they loved me had no room for me in their mansions. They sent me away in need. No coat or blanket. It was cold.
Jonah has been my friend for years, and I have been in the 4 short chapters 4 years. Yesterday I was coloring and God said, "doest thou well to be angry?" An immediate smile, and a new song of thanksgiving until I fell asleep in a little shack a worldly man built for me, (he didn't know me at all), because... I rejoice in my heart that my God never leaves me nor forsakes me. He didn't chasten me because I smoked pot with the world and told the of Jesus, but the do gooders sure criticize me. Doesn't matter what we do, did we do Him while we were doing it? Nothing poison or otherwise shall harm me. He said so. God first, then my neighbor... He's got me. Praise God for it.

Dear Sister,
I don't believe that the malevolent spirits you felt were of your mother's passing. Rather from the life she led and lived prior to calling out to our Lord and Savior Jesus. It is quite possible that these spirits were attached to the location where she lived, and in a certain way her. At least until that time she was no longer theirs. They might not have known this or of her passing (they are not all knowing) and in a certain way were coming by to check up on her. Finding her gone, must have been troubling to them.

I would be comforted by this, rather then seeing it as a troubling sign that she did not know the Lord, and that somehow something more was required of her then coming to him! Which by calling out as she did I believe was the case. Surely, our Lord had heard your prayers and those of others in respect to your mother. His timing is perfect, and I can only believe and hope that you rest assured that she is with our Lord even as we communicate here at TJ. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! Amen!

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Dear Sister,
This is sad news that you impart here. Yet, knowing that this is not the first time it has happened to you, and sadly may not be the last. Considering the love of those who profess that they are Christians and are not, is not something that brings me joy. It's easy for them as you well know to help their own, families, close friends, but when it requires something more then a few dollars, conversation, or even prayer. They are surely lacking, and not to be found. But know the Lord will have His will done even if it requires an unbeliever to have it fulfilled.

I still hold close to my heart what you communicated to me years ago about the church you were going to who professed to be a Sister in Christ. But upon telling her that you were cold and homeless, there was nothing there for you. Not even a coat! Had you been family surely they would have provided, but now instead of the empty word usage of Sister, you became a stranger and no help offered.

There are ever darkening times ahead for the Body of Christ. Our Lord's words are not hollow in that we too will suffer persecution, and tribulation (John 15). Many have not experienced it in the West, but it will come. This along with deceptive teachings tell me that the falling away (2 Timothy 2:3) will continue to happen. Yet, also hold close that this signifies that the Day of the Lord is drawing closer, that if we have not yet been called to Him (death), we will in great joy be received by Him still. Also, realize that it had to happen this way, that those who are of the World may through you get to know the Love of the Lord, and not through those who professing it, all the while did nothing and would be unable to share what they do not have to the lost. Which is His Great Love for them.

May God continue to guide and bless you dear sister. May you be comforted, and showered to overflowing with the Holy Spirit.
With the Love of Christ Jesus, in His name I pray. Amen.

@Christ4Ever thank you so much for your kind words. It was spirits leaving out, for sure. And I felt they were unhappy with me as well. When the ambulance brought her home, she just wanted Christian radio playing low beside her bed. She was at peace and just went to sleep peacefully. I hadn't thought about those spirits were sent packing until your post. Thank you again for your comforting words. It gives me hope, that my mother found peace and love in her heart for our Lord.

Some have been awaken because of the word of our testimony in Christ our Lord. Most, still are afraid to speak, because they know the wolf pack as well, and how they want to devour and shred the messengers of God.

Many are still trying to climb up by some other means. We can only entry in in His footsteps. His disciples forsook all and followed Him. They left their father mending his own nets and followed Him. Yes, they were scattered after He went home, not all but most, returned to what they were doing before He walked down the beach and through the country side. They returned to what they knew, because there was no one to lead them. They walked with Him, prayed with Him, sleep amongst Him, and still was striken by "the law"; just as many sitting on the bench are today. They have not been delivered of the old, and introduced to the new...the blood of the Lamb.
He does indeed give us what we ought to say, it doesn't mean they will like it, for it indeed pricks the heart of the evils or sin within it. Rather than admit, yes Lord, I need a Physician, we continue to kill the messenger...?
All power, glory, and honor be unto God. Amen

It is only sad news if we refuse to listen, and continue to kill the messenger.

Hello, dear one, yes it is complicated to be entangled with both worlds. It is like trying to live in Detroit and Paris at the same time; hence being flesh and spirit at the same time.
 
So what should i do?
Seek the Lord with all your heart, all your mind, all your body, and all your strength. Meditate on the Word, the scriptures He has entrusted in your heart. He will meet you there. Ask Him for wisdom and understanding by revelation knowledge of Jesus Christ. Keep knocking... He will open unto you.
All praise, glory and honor be unto God. Amen
