I Believe...

PSALM 141:3-5

SET A GUARD OVER MY MOUTH, OH LORD; KEEP WATCH OVER THE DOOR OF MY LIPS. LET NOT MY HEART BE DRAWN TO WHAT IS EVIL, TO TAKE PART IN WICKED DEEDS WITH MEN WHO ARE EVILDOERS; LET ME NOT EAT OF THEIR DELICACIES. LET A RIGHTEOUS MAN STRIKE ME-IT IS A KINDNESS; LET HIM REBUKE ME – IT IS OIL ON MY HEAD. MY HEAD WILL NOT REFUSE IT. YET MY PRAYER IS EVER AGAINST THE DEEDS OF EVILDOERS.

HAVE WE LOST ALL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OUR ACTIONS?

I HAVE BECOME SO WIGGED OUT BY THE STATE OF THE WORLD, EVEN MORE SO DUE TO MY WEEKLY TRIPS TO MY COUNTY JAIL FOR MINISTRY… I AM LOOKING AT MYSELF WITH MORE ALARM, SINCE I SEE THAT I AM NOT TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT “ SELF CONTROL”…. WHAT DID PAUL SAY ABOUT THE THINGS HE WANTS TO DO, AND HE DOES NOT AND THE THINGS HE DOESN’T WANT TO DO HEDOES? I PRAY THAT WHATEVER YOUR SIN IS, YOU WILL BE TAKE HOLD OF THE GREAT SPIRIT OF SELF CONTROL… REMEMBER WHEN MARY TOLD THE SERVANTS AT THE WEDDING FEAST TO DO WHATEVER JESUS TOLD THEM? JUST DO IT… SO MUCH EASIER SAID THEN DONE.. THE SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK …WE MUST BUCK UP AND PUT OUR FAITH IN THE LORD, HOW SIMPLE IS THAT? I AM YELLING AT MYSELF … YES I AM TIRED OF GOING AROUND THE SAME MOUNTAIN!! I AM EXHAUSTED! IT IS NOW TIME TO SURRENDER!

THE WORLD IS OUT OF CONTROL SO WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REIGN IN OUR FLESH WITH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! I WILL KEEP YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS… WE HAVE THE POWER.. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS ACTIVATE IT!

MAY YOU ALL BE RICHLY BLESSED WITH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS CHRIST.. MICHELE
