MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

I list my religion on Facebook as liberal to conservative. That may confuse some people, especially people in the church. I'm switching over right now at this moment to my conservative hat.

This post is going to be long and winding I suspect. So if you don't have the patience to read it, then move on, but I've got to say it.

I've had maybe 12 hours of sleep in the last three or four days. There are promises in God's Word addressing sleep.

Psalm 4:8

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Proverbs 3:24

when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

Why is it that sleep evades me? Why is it that my body is afflicted with this disease? Is this disease from God? God's Word says to me this:

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

God has spoken to me in the recent past, specifically when I was on vacation in California. I had nights in the condo in California where he would wake me up in the middle of the night, I would listen to and meditate on music that was speaking specifically to my spirit. After a couple nights of this, He specifically spoke to my heart that this disease was not unto death, but for His glory!

I was having a mountaintop experience with my maker! Not only is He my maker, He is THE lover of my soul, my all in all, my healer, my Lord, my provider, my everything!!!

I believe that the physical issues that I am experiencing are something that satan has afflicted me with, but the purpose of it in the long view is to expose him for who he is, and to reveal not only to the church, but to the unchurched, the glory and power of God.

I started off this post with a quote from God's Word, that I really don't understand at least experientially. The Lord has also spoken to me that the physical issues that I'm experiencing are a manifestation of the spiritual battle that I am in.

I'm going to end this post with a prayer. I am mad as hell!!! And it's not at God!!

I believe his Word is true!! The original text of his Word is inspired by God, it is not merely man's thoughts written down.

2 Peter 1:21

For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Father, please forgive me. I have wandered from your Word. I have let the world, and the cares of this world, dilute your Word in my mind and soul. Your Word says that the spirit of God dwells in me.

Romans 8:9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Let this revival that everyone has been waiting for start in me. satan, Take your hands off of my family. Take your hands off of my church. Take your hands off of those who do not know God, and God has called.

Father God, Open the eyes of those you have called into your kingdom. Remove the darkness and the veil that keeps us from knowing you intimately.

Ephesians 1:18 I pray also that the eyes of [my and] your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Let it be so. Amen and Amen!!!

Come Lord Jesus!
