I watched the new season of Downton Abbey last evening. I thought it was most disappointing. I really do feel it was a waste of my time. The time just seemed to drag on for being the new season debut. What happened? That is my question I present to the writers. Did you become so popular and widely viewed that you feel you did not have to keep up the interest of the viewers?
Let me tell you that I think the new series, "The Paradise" has much more intrigue. I look forward to the next season airing in the USA. Please do not let us down with a dud for the next season of this series. I think the connection of Mary and Matthew was part of the mix that made Downton Abbey work. Matthew is no longer there and the connection is gone with him going too. There is definitely a strong connection with Mr. Moray and Denise in The Paradise. I think people like to see the underdog win.
There is something about true love that causes one to champion them and cheer them on do you agree? I guess I am a romantic at heart and I love to see or hear of great true love stories. You know, true love stories are real and have been here throughout the ages and will continue to be with us. Stories of true love bring hope to all. Would you not rather cheer on a couple destined to be together than a villain that tries to create a love story that is just not there to begin with. I wonder why I am speaking on this subject today. I guess it was spurred on by the disappointing viewing of Downton Abbey.
Sometimes in life we are thrown a curve ball that takes us places and through circumstances that we may not have necessarily chose for ourselves. When in a situation like that seek out God even more than prior to this happening in your life.
Want to hear something very interesting? Yesterday, I went to a church for ministry (prophetic ministry to be exact.) I was there a few weeks ago for ministry but it was not taking place that day and I returned when they said it would take place. Well, I arrived at the time to sign up for the ministry only to find out that they changed their ministry times. One of the team members from the prophetic team came out and blessed me immensely. They actually set a time to allow ministry to take place. God you are so faithful, just for me the timing was precise and the minister saw the timing was right. As I write this tears well up in my eyes to think that God cares so much for me that the prophetic word came forth in my life yesterday. Only the Lord knows when the timing is appropriate and the message you need to hear from Him. Let me share with you that weeks ago and even months ago I attempted to receive ministry at this church and it did not happen. I know enough that when that happens I back off and trust Holy Spirit the timing is not right. I heard the voice of Holy Spirit gently speak to me this past week to go and seek the ministry this past Sunday. With the ministry going forth I knew it was Holy Spirit's timing for this to take place.
The word spoke to my heart as the words came forth from the prophetic team. It was afterward that blessed me double. I am trained in a particular ministry and I have not been active in this ministry for a few years now. I will periodically ask and inquire when at a church if they know of a local church that operates in this ministry in the area. Nothing ever seems to come forth from my inquiry. Guess what, yesterday I inquired and this time it may be fruitful information I received. One simple inquiry of the right person at the right place/time. Listen how God works in my life, this just amazes me it truly does. For the years I lived in a community the actual ministry location was in the neighborhood. Why did I not know about this when I lived there? I would imagine the timing was not right or the enemy was at work. I choose to believe the timing was not right (that is God's timing I am speaking about.) Now, I have not investigated the ministry to get details yet but I know exactly where this is located. Want to hear something uncanny? When I inquired yesterday and they told me where it was located Holy Spirit brought a marker to my memory as to where this was. I use to walk in my former neighborhood and at times I would see something and use it as a mile marker to turn around and complete my walk. I was able to then clock it in my car for mileage walked by this certain marker. Believe it or not, one of the mile markers for me was for this ministry location. Do you know the number of times I prayed while walking this path? Many times I can tell you. Who but God Himself knew that the prayers I prayed while walking just may bathe this ministry in the prayer they needed. Many times I would pray in the spirit silently while walking and let Holy Spirit pray through me and I am most thankful for this gift He gives to us. God is AWESOME He truly is. See how He is so involved in your life and you that He already knew way back when that there was a reason I remembered that mile marker. Do you see the hand of God in all of this? I do.
That was an interjection of a sort sharing that with you. You see, true love does win and that is so encouraging to me is it encouraging to you? Hang in there and do not settle for junk in your life when true love is there. May the eyes of your heart be opened and your understanding enlightened to see it.
This is a final sidenote that is important. You should not seek out prophetic words a lot. The last time I was ministered to in this fashion was over three years ago. It is not good to just keep seeking out prophetic words for yourself. The purpose of a prophetic word from God is to confirm what He has already spoke to your heart. Not things of the nature of getting new jobs, finding a new home, things of that nature. It should be things being confimed of what God speaks to your heart. Words of encouragement and words to confirm that you are on the right path or warning that you are not where you should be. The words should be brought forth with edification and encouragement to your life. When you receive a prophetic word you should also seek Holy Spirit to verify the words are true and for you and not false words spoken. You should bear witness within your spirit that they are for you also. Sometimes the word spoken may be right on in your life and there may be times when you need to put the word or a portion of the word on a shelf so to speak for a future time in your life. Seek Holy Spirit and He will direct your path in regard to this. Also, very important..if you are receiving a word and it just does not feel right or agree with your spirit then do not receive the word. You do not want to open up the door to the enemy to allow a false word to manifest in your life. Be cautious of where and who you receive the prophetic from. All I can share with you to encourage you in this is if it is from God and for your life it will truly bear witness with you. It is OK even if tears fill your eyes because the word coming forth is truly touching your heart.
