If we had eyes to SEE in a different light, the world and people around us, you might be surprised and amazed. People, your friends, family, acquaintances, strangers, those you see on the street.
Each one of us is the walking wounded. Something, somewhere in your childhood or life...something that maimed you, changed you beyond, in your thinking, your repair. Most times you would be right. But that is not..what God Almighty says.
Ever seen the Dog Whisperer? Ever notice his common advice is that dogs live in the moment, but humans keep track of it all, all the past? That's right. We do. Why can't we let go of the past? One, because someone harmed us, and never, whenever, sought our forgiveness for what they did to us, that incident(s) that so maimed and changed us. We play that tape over and over and over and over AGAIN.
So do you want to remain the walking wounded? Are you sure? You really want to get FREE of it or them? Then there is a way, but of course, it isn't easy or for the timid. You have to reprogram your tapes. Any good shrink will teach you this.
They say you aren't worthy. Of course you are worthy...at least in God's scheme and kingdom. Only the devil sells THAT lie. Only the devil, sells old stories, over and over..and why? To keep you down. To keep you ineffective. God created you. That in and of itself makes you worthy to be loved. Loved by him.
People.. our families, have their own issues. And they inflict those issue and damages on us. You have one choice and that is to say no to their issues and damages. Ok, they maimed you and hurt you. What are YOU going to do in the future about it? Will you damage your own, like what was done to you? Will you stand back and quiet when THEY are hurting? Will you?
COME ON...brother or sister. We are NOT the walking wounded. We are children of the Living God. The God who has victory over and through ALL hardships and hurts. He's won the battle.
Now..it's time for YOU to win the battle.
Don't be as that movie, Night of the Living Dead. Some zombie, going through life with half or no heart, trying not to feel so you won't get hurt again. Change the history. Change the tapes in your head. Change it first for you, then for you and your children. If you don't make a move and change, sin WILL continue to be passed down from generation to generation. STOP it. Stop it now.
Be the Light. Be the strength. For you first, then your family. And all of it, leaning and trusting in the Lord Christ. It's the only way to be free of it, and walk out from among....
the walking wounded...and DEAD..

~ So What If It Cost You Something ~
~ So What If It Costs...You Something?~
Life is seldom fair or just. As a matter of fact, the more righteous you are, the harder it gets. Being a person of nobleness, of character and strength, won't just cost you something, it's likely to cost you everything. Sadly, these days you won't find this kind of character. When the going gets rough, people quit. People of mediocre character to people of extreme Godly character. Truth being, people have small spines.
If it costs...they or you don't want to pay. You'll wrestle and fight it the whole way. Sedation and quietness is what people like. They don't like bees in their bonnets. Haven't we learned a thing? There is no control in life. Control is for unintelligent, non feeling people. Are you a feeling person? Is your life full of difficulties you can't see your way clear of? Do people say of you...they must be doing something wrong to have all those problem?
Wrong.
People whose life is filled with difficulty after difficulty are the people God has chosen to change this world. People who have a spine. People who, when it's all crashing in around them, still stand..but not in their own strength, but allow Christ to carry THEM.
Anything of good and true or right character will not only cost you something, but it could cost you everything you have. Are you up to the challenge? If you don't have Christ, I understand. But I am speaking to those who are born again Christians. You can't make it? Where is your faith brother or sister? Where and in whom? If you're trusting and leaning on your own understanding you're right...you're going to fall But if you are trusting and leaning on the Living God and Christ?
Come on. Has he ever let you fall yet?
Right........
Darn right it's gonna cost you something. But HE...will provide what it COSTS.

~Be Ye Separate~
God said from the very beginning of time and our walk with Him that we are to BE YE SEPERATE. What does He mean by that? You're watching world and U.S. events unravel every day. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the world is getting dimmer and dimmer, and our lives are getting harder and harder. Not as hard as they are going to get, I promise you. And if you falter now...you're not going to make it. This post is for the Born Again Christian.
2 Corinthians 6:17 (King James Version)
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Why do you think God and Christ commanded this? What does it mean?
There are 48 places in the Bible, Old Testament and New, where God commands us to separate ourselves from the unbelieving world all around us. One of the reasons, is for our own protection. We are commanded to separate ourselves from the unbelieving world. I was watching a sermon this past Sunday from Dr. Charles Stanley, head of the Southern Baptist Convention, and the now LARGEST Christian Ministries worldwide. A man of some sixty plus years of accurate and God based Biblical wisdom. Dr. Stanley was speaking on how unprotected the children of our world are..especially in America. And why and how it is so important to 'train a..or your children up in the way they should go.' He spoke of taking a small child of six and introducing them into an American PAGAN school system. One where God is removed from it. How is a child to believe or think if before they enter that schoolroom door for the first time, they have not the instruction, love and wisdom of our Holy God? He stated ..and I quote..."We are sending them into the lions den." How true that really IS.
God calls us to separate ourselves from the unbelieving world for more than one reason. One to protect us. Two so that we may be his witnesses, to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Three, so that we aren't ensnared by what the world has so comely to offer. God doesn't want us maimed, confused, hurting, defeated, sick, or dying...bodily, emotionally or especially spiritually.
Brother, sister...The day you committed your life to Christ, your life became HIS to do with as He so wills. You life is no longer your own. When he commanded and commands BE YE SEPERATE, do you really have a choice. And if you don't, and become enmeshed in your daily and own little world problems, how will you affect the world around you? You cannot. You must come out among them..the world, the United States, your community, your own home, and BE YE SEPARATE.
He doesn't call us for this purpose to make life hard on us, although it surely shall.
So how's your faith in Christ? Are any of you sick? What does he say? Call the Elders of the Church to come lay hands on you. The faith of two or three believers can drive sickness and disease, chronic sicknesses, from your life. Are you enslaved to something or someone you know you should not be? Then what must you do? Separate yourself. We are not living in a time for meek, luke warm, when I feel like it Christians. They will fall by the wayside. And many are doing that just at this moment. You see it all around you. In your personal friendships and relationships. Are you next? Will you allow yourself to be by your apathy? Apathy in Christ. That's not possible. God and Christ separate. Was Christ separated? Absolutely more than any other soul ever was or will be. Alone. He walked alone, with only the Father all the days of his life.
Concerned about what other's will think? Right NOW...you better get over that and yourself brother or sister. God didn't call the timid or those living daily in fear or anxiety. He didn't call those who would continually conform to this worlds standards. He called those, imperfect, you and I because he didn't give us a spirit of timidity and fear, but a spirit to be bold in this life and in this world. Not...OF this world.
Your personal challenge this year is to separate yourself from every person, thing, possession, bad habit, lust, need you feel you have. Your call this year is........
To come out from and among them.
To consecrate yourself and your life. To BECOME a holy believer. One pleasant and pleasing to God Almighty. This is your quest and mission which God has spoken for me to give you. Only you know what must change. The Holy Spirit has been and will continue to be speaking to you about it. Sink or swim brother or sister. And when you think you can't go on and you will surely sink or die, try allowing Christ to carry you.
Come OUT among them and BE YE SEPARATE.
Some scriptures below to help you in your quest this year. And remember, you belong to Christ. Your life is no longer your own and for your good pleasure. It is for God's good pleasure and purpose.
Love in Christ ~

11 So now confess your sin to the Lord, the God of your ancestors, and do what he demands. Separate yourselves from the people of the land and from these pagan women.”
Nehemiah 9:2 (New Living Translation)
2 Those of Israelite descent separated themselves from all foreigners as they confessed their own sins and the sins of their ancestors.

The Vow of the People
28 Then the rest of the people—the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, Temple servants, and all who had separated themselves from the pagan people of the land in order to obey the Law of God, together with their wives, sons, daughters, and all who were old enough to understand—
Esther 3:8
Then Haman approached King Xerxes and said, “There is a certain race of people scattered through all the provinces of your empire who keep themselves separate from everyone else. Their laws are different from those of any other people, and they refuse to obey the laws of the king. So it is not in the king’s interest to let them live.
Ezekiel 42:20
So the area was 875 feet on each side with a wall all around it to separate what was holy from what was common.

All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
2 Corinthians 6:17 (New Living Translation)
17 Therefore, come out from among unbelievers,
and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord.
Don't touch their filthy things,
and I will welcome you.

17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

~To The Men Whom Have Lost Their Jobs ~
This is a quick pro quo post. I sent to a friend tonite, who was a multi-billionnaire and has lost everything. I hope all men hear the message.

I understand. I think that is wonderful for you to be with your 83 year old father. Family is all we truly have on this Earth. Times right now are drastic and awful for everyone honey. We are all struggling.
Perhaps sweetie, you should look at the loss of your job this way. I am sure having to move in with your dad is humbling, but then now you can dedicate what time he has left..right there with him. That'll matter to you BIG TIME up the road when he is no longer on this Earth. Do what you can now, love now and show it while you can. God said, to not be anxious, but in all things in prayer and supplication to him realize if He takes care of the birds of the air, how much more you? I am facing similar financial feats, but I trust the Living God. In 27 years as Christian I have been through thick and thin, and really hard times. Not once has he not come through for me. Not once. He will do the same for you if you but ask.
And this. Unfortunately this world tells a man they are what they do and what they have...$$. I've never once bought into that. Never. Of the many men friends I have and had throughout my life, powerful men, I've shared this truth. And many are stumbling now that the economy has taken a downward spiraling turn. They suffer, because they have never known who they truly are in Christ, as he sees them, and as the man they truly are..on THE INSIDE....not the pocketbook. It's hard for many a man right now daring. I have multbillion dollar friends who are penniless.
Trust God for your future, love your father while he is with you and you can and look at this as an opportunity instead of a backward step. Later..up your path..you will see this most clearly.
