Yesterday was a wonderful start to the day. I had my annual eye exam appointment and everything is looking good. My insurance will cover updated prescription lenses for my sunglasses and no charge to me at all for this. I did grocery shopping with my list of items I can get now for Thanksgiving Day feast. I am looking forward to hosting this at my place. There will be 5 of us and the other family will not be able to join us that day but ... the following weekend they will come to visit me. I will be hosting a two time Chopped Champion winner on the Food Network and their family. This is kind of cute, one of their favorite things I make is my oatmeal raisin cookies. I think I will make a batch for them that weekend. They are such a lovely family. You can see the fruits coming forth of their children all because they stuck with standards to follow in their home raising their children. They are looking into "Christmas" theme events to do that short weekend visit.
I came home from shopping and I was home a good portion of the afternoon and I watched a live stream event. I then got this urge to take the 48 inch tv I broke a few weeks ago to the Goodwill donation center. I have given Goodwill many good quality items throughout the years. I was slightly moving a table the tv sat on and it caused it to drop to the floor. It still worked but now it had a crack on the screen. I figured it would be ok to drop it off at the donation center because it still worked. Maybe someone could use parts in the tv. Quite honestly, I did not want to pay a recycle center to get rid of the tv. I could not put it in my dumpster were I reside. I cannot beleive they charge you 5.00 per 20 lbs. for trash? I knew inside, deep inside that it was not right to dump this tv off on Goodwill but I was going to try anyhow until ... I put the tv on a shopping cart I have for transporting groceries, etc. I had it secured and I was holding onto it as I pushed it outside my dwelling place. I still do not know how this happened but it did the tv somehow came loose from my grip and it fell off the cart to the ground and I somehow in the attempt to catch it fell on top of the backside of the tv that was now on the ground. My right hand was a bit sore from taking the brace as I fell. I was no longer going to take this tv to Goodwill because the frame portion of the tv came off. I searched the recycle facility hours of operation and I would make it in enough time to dump it and get rid of it once and for all. I loaded it back on the cart and I took it to my car.
Well, the recycle place does not take a debit card only cash or check. I am there now and I begin to look for cash and the person said it looks like it would weigh enough to be 10.00. I had two of my 2.00 bills I had to give up along with my searching for enough cash to settle this transaction. He weighed the tv and sure enough, 10.00. My wrist and right hand were sore by this point so I got home and got one of my ice packs and placed it on the hand. It is still a bit tender as I am typing this blog now. I was seeking Holy Spirit about what happened to the lovely start of the day yesterday and I was a bit taken aback with His response to me. He cares enough for me that He did not want to see me get off my path of destiny by a simple act of taking the tv where it should not have gone and trying out justify it to myself. I was trying to do just that. The last time I was at Goodwill I had a brief conversation with the employee. They shared that not only do they get good things people drop off but they get bad things too. See, I was trying to justify to myself about all the times I brought good quality items to Goodwill and this one not good quality item was ok now. Wrong, it was not ok. Holy Spirit did not bring this tv circumstance to me but allowed it to be a learning curved for me. Mainly keeping me on my path of destiny and not swerving off the path over a simple 10.00 charge to dispose of the tv in a proper manner.
I got this idea the other day, what if we had a cookie exchange with the people on my floor. With the cold pack on my hand I went to 2 residents and they said they liked the idea and they would participate in this. I had the opportunity to converse with 2 neighbors yesterday that I may not have conversed with prior to this happening in my life. When I was transporting the tv to my car I thought I got a black mark on one of my neighbors car and I had to reach out to them when I got home and told them about it. Now that I think about it the cart may have been higher up then the mark was on the car so after all I may not have put a mark on their car. It rubbed off easy and they said don't worry about it which led to my question about a cookie exchange. From there I went to another neighbor and we had a lovely conversation also. One more stop but they were not home so I will reach out to them possibly today. I spoke with them and they would like to participate too. Now we have to set a date and time where we can all meet to exchange our cookies. Sometime in December, what about by the fire pit and maybe some homemade soup to go along with the cookie exchange. Thoughts popping in and out now as I update this. Sometimes I think out loud.
I settled in for the evening and watched the ministry live stream for the evening. I had ice packs on both sides of my hand. I would then move it around to my knee, neck and my lower back area. I had the healing handbook on my bed still but I was just tired and did not pray healing prayers last night or soak in the tub either. I did take an Advil before I went to bed. I slept fine. When I woke today I did the healing prayers. Prior to that Jesus and I had a conversation and I told Him I did not want to write today and He does not force one to but my heart was captivated by His love and His encouraging me to touch His people with my writing and that is how I am sitting here sharing with you all now. Teaching by example and sharing how He loves me so very much that He did not want me off of my divine destiny path over the disposal of a tv. That is love personified. I had tucked in the book a piece of paper that I jotted notes on. It was there the other day but I did not find it then when I used the Joan Hunter book. Today was the day to do deliverance warfare for The USA. I did just that in my bedroom with Holy Spirit giving me the very words to speak forth. There is lying and deception along with a deaf/dumb spirit covering the peoples eyes in this country and it was the timing to remove the scales from the people eyes. I jotted this note 11/21/2019 lying deception evil doing whore mongering. There are many within the lying spirit. I am recalling this a bit now someone was preaching and it stirred within me to write down brief notes. They were talking about the lying spirit if you ever said in your lifetime that you did not beleive the works of God. You had to repent from those times and get rid of the lying spirit. You had to shut the open door, go after and cast out the group of spirits that are within the lying spirit.
That was dealt with this very morning and I cast them out with Holy Spirit direction. I cast them out of the USA, yes I did, Praise God from whom all blessings flow. So, prior to all that when I was talking with Jesus I was asking Him to let me leave this state in which I reside in. There is nothing for me here, not even a church I can attend like I did back in Ohio. Freedom to worship; the gospel truth preached with altar calls; deliverance ministry to operate in. I asked Him to find me a church that I could attend that has all of this for me to be a part of. Let's see what happens, until then I will probably try to watch live streaming of my hometown church in Ohio. I missed it today because I am writing.
Back to last evening now. I do not know where this comes from but it turns me off. When there are big time ministry events why does it always seem to be that prophetic words are spoken forth to the main conference presenters? Does God only have words for them and their station in life? They are the presenters and I would hope they are hearing from God in a great way all the time I would like to beleive. What happened to the times of calling people out attending the conference that live in real America life so to speak and a prophetic word given to them. I do not beleive my Father in heaven only has words of encouragement for the elite so to speak but He also loves all his children of the world. Another thing while I am on the subject, I have been to conferences and was truly seeking a word from God on a particular matter and I was not called out to be given a word. I just gave up on that idea long ago. I get my most true counsel from Jesus and the word of God. I do not go for that mind set out there also that if a word is spoken to a certain individual and followed by a statement that if you agree with it then accept the word also. The person selected was just the conduit to get the word out there. Is that how our Father in heaven operates, blanket words for whomever to receive. Why was 1 person chosen that day over others sitting in the very church with that person. I think things need to change in this regard, just saying.
My children were visiting with me and at the time they attended a church service with me. One of my children was not impressed in the least with words being spoken to people that seemed to be sitting on one side of the church. No words spoken to people on the side of the church where we were sitting. My prayer that day was for both or at least one of my children to receive a prophetic word. It did not happen, were my children not important enough to God to receive encouragement or exhortation? I had a conversation later with one of them and how they told me they were generic type of words that came forth and it could apply to anyone type of words. I am telling you this honestly about this conversation we had. I found myself trying to explain the blanket type of word concept to them. It was much later when one of my children had a word come forth and I tried to share it with them. They wanted no part of this word. It was only when they were visiting me again I kind of forced them to at least listen to the word recorded. They did and I shared with them there were too many things spoken that related to this particular child's life. They did not concede 100% but at least I had the opportunity to share the word and bring to their attention much truth that came forth from this word. The seed was planted and now it is their choice to accept it or not. I leave that in God's hands. This is the child of mine that would sit with me when they were younger in age and I would teach them about deliverance ministry and we would participate in little deliverance exercises to sharpen their deliverance gifting inside of them.
At the close of the ministry conference a testimony was shared during the offering time. I think it is a great testimony but quite honestly it did not stir my heart. How many people in which the times in which we are living in can relate to this testimony. It was shared how they wanted to purchase a big ticket item. One was given the right timing and the other given the dollar amount to offer. It is a beautiful story shared of a couple in which it is quite evident that they truly love each other. It is a pleasure seeing couples in love and how they treat each other, that is so refreshing. Not phony in the least bit but honest love and respect for each other. It is most evident that they treat each other as if the other is truly a gift in their life. Back to the testimony, the amount of money offered for the purchase of this item was way out of reach I would speculate for the average type of person out there. The amount of money was a stretch in faith. To actually have that amount of money on hand to purchase an item wow that is impressive. Most people today are trying to figure out how to meet monthly obligations and food on the table for their family. Maybe the testimony was used to stoke a fire in someone to increase their faith and I am ok with that. Maybe a different type of testimony would have raised more faith in others and faith rising up to make an offering. Many many times Holy Spirit has already shown me if I am to make an offering in advance of an event. Sometimes He speaks nothing to me and other times I already know the amount to give prior to even getting there. He has even given me dreams of money to plant as a seed while attending the very conference. He spoke to my heart what to give to this ministry and I will follow though with it today, it was delayed yesterday because of the offering approach. The worship at this conference was fantastic and Holy Spirit flowed in mighty ways via the speakers. That is great soil to seed into. See, I hear from Holy Spirit, He is now speaking to me to not only bless the ministry but also bless the church for letting this conference take place there. I will do that right now. Just completed it and let's see what happens now.
