Have you ever observed a fellow Believer’s walk and concluded that, “dang, they’re doing great in life”? And then, if you’re anything like me, you examined your own life in hopes of pinpointing where you had been going wrong all this time. You adhered to all the behavior modifications you thought you needed to be ‘right and prosperous’, and you still came up short.

WE CAN BE FILLED AGAIN!

I remember being angry at God. I yelled at Him and warned Him to leave me alone. I told the God of heaven, Creator of the universe, to leave me alone…and He did.

I had the attention of Jesus, and I didn’t want it. All of a sudden, Jesus began to push past the people surrounding Him. He disappeared into the building we were in. I heard my mom say, “Well, here He comes,” in a very “ready-or-not” kind of tone. She left me alone in that room and went into another. I faced the bedroom door. My heart was racing. I knew Jesus wasn’t going to hurt me; I just didn’t want to face Him. I was aware of my sin, my sadness, and everything else that was my reality at the time.

Some of us believe God is punishing us by preventing the promise, when in actuality, He is protecting His purposes.

If you think you have a ‘sin problem,’ you probably do. But one reason you might have a sin problem is that you have a temptation problem. And one reason you might have a temptation problem is that you have a prayer problem. You won’t rise up to pray so that you don’t enter into temptation. But I have good news for you and for all of us.

God does not ask empty questions. He does not waste words.

I heard a preacher say that cuss words are not just words, but the actual names of demons. His name was Curtis “Earthquake” Kelley. Specifically, he said that when he was a child, he summoned F-U-C-etcetera, and the demon came. It showed up in his bedroom with real power and abilities, and the demon possessed him shortly afterward.

I am quite literally the tree God did not cut down, though He had every right to. I’m grateful. Sometimes God’s transitions are actually His mercy.

I watched a black bear try to break into my bedroom. When the door didn't work, it looked for another way in. Eventually, it found one.

During one of the evening sessions, my spiritual father walked over to me while I had my head bowed in prayer, begging God to deliver me from whatever had me bound. He laid his hand on my shoulder and began praying, "Lord, You know. Show her. Show her. Show her." Then I felt a hand on my head. It seemed like he stood there for a long time. But as time passed, I heard my spiritual father's voice across the room praying for someone else, while there was still a hand resting on my head.

Years back, me and Chloe were having a conversation. It was at a time where it felt like the enemy was coming at her from every side, trying to take her out. Work stuff, family issues, finances, friendships, the works. While we were talking, I got this download from heaven. I saw a vision of the devil standing in front of this conspiracy board/evidence board.

Last week I dreamt that I was on a work assignment in what we would call a House of Prayer. A literal house where people just pray the heart of God. While on this assignment I started to become perplexed because I was looking at the investment numbers and I did not see a return. It looked like no progress was being made. So, I sent in a complaint to customer service asking for an explanation of what in the world was happening.
