Nobody Told Me This Road
Would Be Easy
Don’t Focus On What Your Going Through,
Keep your Focus On The LORD While
He Brings You Through It
Spiritual Battles are what every human being has to go through, no matter which way you turn. For those who follow The Lord as He directs you there will be trials, road blocks, u turns, bridges out, doors shut, and doors open, wrong turns, and redirects, pit falls, and sometimes you’re at a stand still, dormant, all set before you in order to put you on the right path for His Name sake. I’m talking about being led by The Spirit. Make sure you know what Spirit is leading you before you follow it. Try The Spirit with The Spirit.
Remember in Matthew 4:1 Jesus was led into The Wilderness by The Holy Spirit to be tested by the devil right after He was Baptised. He was in The Wilderness for forty days and forty nights. The Path of Trial and Testing. He fasted for forty days and night without food and water. We come to know that the human body cannot go long without water, only a week is an estimate. You can go without food for a month but not water. Remember Jesus is 100% man as well as 100% God. Jesus' Spiritual DNA is of The Holy Spirit. No man entered into the Womb of Mary. (Luke 1:35) The Holy Spirit came upon Mary and The Power of The Highest overshadowed her.
While in the wilderness only by The Power of The Holy Spirit was the flesh of Jesus able to withstand the pressure of abstaining from food and water for such a long period of time. A period that's beyond the natural survival of the human body. There are Wilderness Experiences, Valleys to go through, Bridges to cross, Trials, and Fiery Furnace to stand in, Pits to climb out of or Walls to press through, or bring down, or build up until your refinement reaches the level that The Lord is bringing you to.
Genesis chapter 6 - 9:19 Noah and his family were in the ark for forty days and forty nights sealed in like an infant in the womb, or a body in a tomb while all humanity perishes around them. The stench of animals as well as their own was the scent in the ark that had one window, and it was shut tight during the rain. We know the storm outside was rough and the shifting, and the shaking had to have an impact on them that were inside the boat that was built to withstand the shaking and shifting going on in the inside as well as the outside.
I mean what about the storms within, and the mental effect it had on Noah and his family? Survival mode. They could not eat the animals for they were saved for the re-population of the earth, and for an offering for The Lord. They were on a fast probably of grain stored and whatever else The Lord supplied for the animals and themselves, along with a large supply of water. During the process of the destruction of humanity. I Thank God for Preserving Noah’s family and the selected animals, otherwise humanity could have ended right then and there.
Let's talk about Moses and The Israelites in the wilderness for forty years they dwell in a Spiritual Death Trap that kept them from crossing over the threshold of freedom. The Lord place a curse on the generation of the age of 20 years old on up, sparing those of the age of 19 on down. Their unbelief came with constant murmuring, and complaining brought on by the slave mindset. The Lord uses Moses to bring them out of bondage physically, but their Spiritual Mindset kept them attached to the umbilical cord of Egypt. Numbers 32:13
Try your best not to Focus on what you are going through. Keep your Focus on The Lord as He brings you through it all. Follow the instructions of The Lord for Moses hit The Rock instead of speaking to the Rock as He was instructed. The Israelites provoked Moses Anger causing confusion and discord. This became a distraction for Moses. Freedom was an umbilical cord that could not be attached to one still feeding on the umbilical cord of Egypt, which represented bondage. We are tempted in those areas we are weak in. The Word of God says in Ephesians 4:26 Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath.
In Matthew 26:24 Jesus says - "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Only The Lord can strengthen us through The Holy Spirit in these areas. Stay Focus on The Lord through whatever trail you find yourself in. Fast and Pray through your wilderness experience, and through your valley experience, and even through the fire. Hold on, you're not alone The Lord is in the mist. 1 Peter 1:7 - That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perish, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
In the trial of Job there were words spoken similar to my words when I went before the Lord in prayer during this trial. In order to understand The words Job spoke in chapter 23, you have to know the story of Job starting in chapter 1. I cannot say or compare my trial experience to Jobs' pressure, but I can relate to his trail as I go through the fire with added pressure at the same time The Lord uses me to help bring another soul which happens to be my grandson out of bondage. We are not in this alone. Generational Curse are real, but so is The Blessing of The Lord.
It can be passed down by reversing the curse over your family. Like Job I find myself reciting in my heart to The Lord while in prayer. Job 23: 1 - 10 2 Even today my complaint is bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. 3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! 4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. 6 Will he plead against me with his great power?
No; but He Would Put Strength In Me. 7 There the righteous might dispute with Him; so should I be delivered forever from my judge. 8 Behold, I go forward, but He is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive Him: 9 On the left hand, where He doth work, but I cannot behold him: He hides Himself on the right hand, that I cannot see Him: 10 But He know the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Have The Lord ever given you an answer to a question you have not asked yet? He did so to me in a dream I had a while back. This dream was back in 2015 but brought to recall in 2016 during a flashing of dreams past. The Lord gave these flashing of dreams right after I awaken from the dream of A Tornado landing on me, and the Dream was this -
There was a dream which include Minister Ebony and I. We were at what seem to be a revival worship service. The place I can’t recall, but the the dream focus was on us coming out from the service. I and Ebony enter into another room where we get our coats to leave. As I was walking in the room I notice I had no shoes on my feet and began to question - where is my shoes? Someone brought me my shoes but I could not get my foot in them and a voice from behind said those shoes are too small now, they do not fit your feet anymore. I turned around facing Ebony and woke up. I share This dream with my dear friend and mother in Christ. Then other dreams followed. There was a dream that I was in a classroom sitting at a desk and others like Min. Ebony, Rev. Karen Curry, and Pastor Curry was teaching us. There were others but their faces were not clear.
Let me hear someone say The Holy Spirit is The School Teacher. Let me hear someone say your steps are ordered by The Lord. Stepping into bigger shoes. The answer was given before I asked after the surgery on my toe. Spiritual Growth is a painful process and as your Spiritual Feet grow you cannot put them back into the shoes your feet have outgrown. The Lord said some of us are wearing shoes that don't fit.
Too little shoes can disfigured your feet causing you to walk with a limp and staggering in your walk with Him. To continue this journey you need to put on the proper shoes to walk in mostly after Spiritual Surgery, because your feet are not in the same shape as they were before. so you need the proper fitting shoes in order to be Led by The Spirit. You cannot be Led by The Spirit if you're unable to Walk In The Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and
self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Everyone of God’s children will go through
a process of pruning, refining, shaping
and molding in order for The Lord
to perfect that concerning
you. While in the process
He will strengthen you to endure it all. No one told us that
this road would be easy. So prepare yourself for what is to come.
The Lord has not brought you this far to leave you. Amen!
In The Sincerity of The Holy Spirit
