Sometimes you have to shut everything out and seek the Lord. I did that yesterday. I only listened to ministry related videos or live ministry events. Sometimes you have to shut up these around you that tend to speak negative or pull on your anointing to bless them if that makes sense. You know deep inside these circumstances and the very one's in your life to pull back from even if it is only for a day or two. Obey Holy Spirit unction and you will find refreshing. That is what happened to me yesterday.
I have a realtor that made reference to me the other day of the two titles in the post title. I had to nicely say to her to not call me that because I am not that and I encourage people on a daily basis. I am a realist and I look at the facts. Why would you place an offer on a house higher than the asking amount? It was explained to cover closing costs and to compete with other contract offers placed on the same house. Makes no sense to me so let's use this as an example, say the house is listed as 162,500.00 and you are to offer them 172,000.00? If they accept the offer from what I understand you will not pay that much if it does not appraise for that amount. I then asked what if it does not and I just paid over the amount of appraisal. It was further explained that you just got a really good deal because you cannot pay anymore than what it is valued at so you would only be paying the value regardless of what you offered. The same goes for the event it appraises higher then what you offered. I am a realist and a detail oriented person. Do not trust the pictures they display to show a house listed ok. It is the way the angle shot is taken to make rooms appear to be lager in size then they really are when you see it in person. I know my Father in heaven and I hear His voice when He speaks to me. You cannot convince me to place an offer on a house that He is not speaking to me to get. No matter what you say or your argument to purchase it.
Yo just have that OK feeling deep inside you when you know for sure that you know that you know that you know it is the one for you.
A co-worker met me at this house to give me some guidance since they know a bit about houses. She actually heard this realtor reference me again with one of the titles and she asked her to not call me that. Isn't this funny, on the way to see this house I felt led to stop at Cracker Barrel to use the restroom and also I saw myself purchasing the old fashioned recipe Hershey chocolate bars to bless them and thank them for their kindness. I heard the voice of God because the candy bars were on sale 3 for an amount. I purchased all 3. Is this God's timing or what? So after we see the house and we are standing in the driveway talking and the realtor calls me the negative title and my friend asks her to not call me that I then present each one with a candy bar in thanks for their kindness. The training side of me comes forth from when I worked at Cracker Barrel and I explain how it is the original recipe and it is much more creamier and smoother because it has no paraffin wax in it and it is thicker than the one's you buy in retail stores too. The realtor liked the packaging. See, if you wait long enough God will confirm again why not to buy a house. While in the driveway and even when I was in the house I heard a dog barking. Sure enough, 2 dogs lived next door and they were both outside now. Imagine double sounded dogs barking. One large sized dog and a small sized dog. Not for me. I like my quiet time when I am at home. Another thing, who builds a home that when you are sitting in the living room the window faces the next door neighbors side of their house within close distance of their house? The backyard had no landscaping at all or a patio. Not for me. Not for me.
So heading back home I see it is raining and I see a patch of sunshine breaking forth from the clouds and I look for a rainbow and I see none while driving. I say to the Holy Spirit show me a bow and I will know in response to Him gently speaking to my heart to keep following His signs in regard to where I will live. I get home and feel led to walk in the neighborhood and it is raining again and this time I see two rainbows. I stop walking to look into the sky to see it once. I stop a second time to look and see it again. I know all is well with my soul that he is still in control.
See, I do not like coming in last so to speak and that is what it appears to be in regard to me moving from where I reside. I have to watch others move out before me and I have to deal with this. I know Him to be ever so FAITHFUL and He is ALWAYS on time in my life and I have to learn to rest in this and continue packing. My kitchen cupboards are practically bare now because things are packed up. I know which containers items are in if I had to get something out to use it.
I am beginning to think I am not to purchase a home and for me to keep searching for a rental. I am told by the realtor that it is a sellers market right now and it was a buyers market a few months ago.
So the next day I am to blot out other voices except me calling my spiritual mother to inquire about a word the Lord gave to me. It is in regard to the very city in which I live in right now. It is not a good word per say in regard to race relations. I am not going to go into details but if you are white it is not anything you said or even done it is in regard to your skin color, purely the color of your skin. I seek wisdom in regard to what I should do about this word. I wanted to know if I should pray this to stop. This is what she said to me … seek God to see if it was given to me for intercession or is this what His hands are on and to keep my eyes on Him and not on fear. I sought the Lord and it is in His hands I am not to undo what I heard Him say to my heart. I am fine with that. I did not respond to phone calls yesterday and I sought Him further throughout the entire day. I told Him I do not want to minister to anyone today (referencing yesterday 7/22/32020.) I went walking down by the river last night and I kept telling Him no ministry to anyone today and why do not others minister to me for a change. So I see this person walking with their dog and I noticed the beautiful shade of colors of the dogs hair. As I walk past I comment of the beautiful color of the dogs hair. She smiles back at me and thanks me. Holy Spirit say to me that I just ministered to her, Oh He got me on that one. I get home and I see a painter painting an apartment next to mine. He speaks little English but I was able to communicate to him does he have a little paint so I can touch up my walls where I took down pictures. The paint color may be off a bit in color but I have it now to use and will let the front office know I got the paint from their painter. \
I went to bed really early last night like 9somethng it was. I only wanted to think upon happy dreams I had and happy experiences I had just a few months ago and that is how I fell asleep. Active night with dreams I had 2. The first one was so lovely I was with a few other women and we all wore beautiful white formal style dresses and we were each separately dancing to like flowing type of music. I remember one dress was exceptionally beautiful. It was a fitted dress but then it flowed out from just below the waist and it was adorned with white feathers that covered the dress. In the midst of dancing and swaying to the music a feather here and there would break loose and just gently fall to the ground. Second dream I am married and I know this much (I sensed this in the dream but did not actually see it happen) we were intimate as a married couple would be to consummate the marriage. This person had a twin brother and they looked alike and I was not in the bedroom with my new spouse it was his twin brother in the room and I was able to see this and see his brother come out of the bedroom. I lust love complicated dreams like this because I know there is a great meaning behind this. So I am in another room and I begin to sway to the beat of music and apparently this catches the attention of my spouse for this is something that draws him to me. In this dream I call my spiritual mother and tell her what happened to me. I hear her ever so clear to take back what is mine. Isn't that a great dream? I am not allowing the enemy to take what is already mine and given to me as a blessing from God. Sometimes we are called to fight for what is a blessing already designed and given to you from God so fight the good fight of faith and do not give up. So I wake up so refreshed this morning and what song is playing inside me over and over again? From
Mary Poppins Returns", "Nowhere to go but Up." Not their words but the words given to me weeks ago by Holy Spirit … "With a wing and a prayer and love everywhere there's no where to go but up." It was a if it was on "repeat" mode playing inside me and still is as I write this. Moral to this lesson, keep outside voices from speaking to you and only listen to Holy Spirit voice inside of you and all will be ok, ok.
One final thought, I placed 2 bottle waters and 2 cans of Perrier & Juice Drink Peach & Cherry in the refrigerator to get chilled. I will bless the painters with it today along with the last Hershey's chocolate bar left to distribute for them for their kindness to me yesterday.
Uh oh the song words shifted while getting ready for work just now … "with a wing & a prayer and with love everywhere I only have eyes for you."
