ARE YOU REALLY WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE? OR ARE YOU JUST PERPETRATING A FRAUD?
Job 13:4, But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. 1The Life Application Study bible says , "that Job compared his three friends to doctors who did not know what they were doing. They were like eye surgeons trying to perform open-heart surgery."
Most doctors have insurance to cover lawsuits that may be filed against them for malpractice. These guys didn't have a license let alone insurance. Job's friends were like eye surgeons but they were not eye surgeons. Job's friends were impersonating an opthamologist, while trying to perform the duties of a cardidologist. They were on the outside looking in and the truth of the matter is that they needed to have their eyes and their heart examined because their words and their actions were like a jelly donut without the jelly, empty inside!
What kind of doctor are you impersonating today? What kind of insurance do you have? Are you really what you say you are? Or are you perpetrating a fraud? Stop moving in your own strength! Stop telling lies. Stop believing lies and stop living a lie. Stop trying to be something that you are not! Stop playing with God! You can't be a leader if you are not following God's leadership.
If you don't have God's love in your heart, like Job's friends you are a woman of no value and like the donut without the jelly, you too are empty inside.
1 Corinthians 13:1 says, Suppose I speak in the languages of human beings and of angels. If I don't have love, I am only a loud gong or a noisy cymbal. When I realized that I was like Job's friends and the empty jelly donut, I cried out to the Lord. I told Him that I was sorry for trying to be something that I was not. I told the Lord that I was sorry for telling Him that I loved Him, when I didn't! With all of the hurt, hatred, envy, rage bitterness, jealousy and ill thoughts that I had in my heart, the only person that I loved was me.
Like Frank Sinatra's song for years "I DID IT MY WAY." I asked the Lord to forgive me for being unfaithful to Him. I asked the Lord to forgive me for being a religious person. I asked the Lord to forgive me for perpetrating a Holy Woman. I ask the Lord to forgive me for teaching my children his word and for holding them accountable, while I was actively practicing and misrepresenting every lesson that I shared with them out of God's word!
Proverbs 28:13, He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. I stand accountable for every decision that I made to be rebellious to my Heavenly Father. I know that God will not overlook one sin that I have committed against Him. Neither am I ashamed to acknowledge my mistakes because by telling the truth, I am no longer bound to my sinful past. It is for freedom that I have been set free and standing firm on God's word; I shall not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage ever again! Galatians 5:1
Isaiah 10:27, And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Psalms 105:15, Saying touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm. By God's Mercy, Grace and the Conviction of His Holy Word. My desire to repent and turn away from my wicked ways. To stop sending a bad aroma of false praise to my Heavenly Father's Nostrils, by receiving the Cleansing Power of the Precious Blood of the Lamb that was Slain, I have been set free! I will not give that which is holy unto the dogs, neither will I cast my pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend me. Matthew 7:6.
In Revelation the 3rd chapter, I learned that God knows my deeds; that I have a reputation of being alive, but I am dead. God has instructed me to wake up! To strengthen what remains and was about to die, for he has not found my deeds complete in His sight. God told me to remember what I have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if I do not wake up, He will come like a thief, and I will not know at what time He will come to me! Now that I know who I am, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, I must show forth the praises of Him who hath called me out of darkness into His marvelous light! (1 Peter 2:9) As a holy woman and now a single parent of three children, in the words of Sister Martina Lambert, of Sharon Baptist Church, Philadelphia, PA
"I understand that my values will always be under attack because I am in this world but not of this world. After all, if the serpent deceived Eve in the garden, surely he will try to deceive me in this world! I know that God's truth will always be challenged but I'm encouraged to obey God because God will always back me up! I do not serve a coward God! I can not and will not set myself up for failure anymore. Neither can I believe satan's lies anymore! Yes, sin is pleasurable and yes at times sin is enjoyable but sin is temporal. All sin last for only a season and a season is only for a short while! The next time that you fall into sin, time it and see how long it lasts!"
Arise, Shine for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Isaiah 60:1
Wherefore saith, awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Ephesians 5:14
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people but the Lord shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee. Isaiah 60:2
Thank you Abba (Daddy) for trusting me with your anointing! Thank you for my double portion! Thank you for getting your glory in my life, in the lives of those that have helped me to Arise & Shine For Jesus and to those who will be blessed by this website! Thank you Father for using me as a vessel to share the same love and help that was extended to me! To God Be The Glory!
Love, your humble servant!
