The Unexpected is Prevalent: It Takes Courage to Abolish the Barrier Separating Humans from The Presence of God Pt. 3

The Unexpected is Prevalent: It Takes Courage to Abolish the Barrier Separating Humans from The Presence of God Pt. 3

As I left home to shop at Walmart, I saw a youngster selling chocolates for school support.  I asked how many he had left in the boxes and thought I had the amount to pay…unfortunately, it could not be for other circumstances. In anticipation, my heart thought before my head, calculating what I could do. It did not happen, and the youngster was disappointed. The lesson one learns from children is the word “Righteousness,” which means living in the right relationship with God, other people, and all creation. We act with righteousness when we live justly, honestly, and faithfully according to God’s instruction. He looked at me and said, you could have just said no instead of saying maybe. He was right; even though it was not on purpose, it is not easy to say no when you truly want to help out one way or the other. Lesson learned that day: humble and honest, the truth will always prevail. 

We are reminded every day of the not anticipated or predicted and how powerful it can be to have the courage to deliver a message at certain times. Interestingly, one seeks to end the effect obstacle that creates a disconnection or sets humans apart from God. I was behind my computer, working at home, and there was an appointment for a doctor’s visit; I was not planning to go with my family. Yet, the words blurted were …wait, I want to go, felt nudged to go. It was a doctor that I had been writing with but never met in person before. It was unplanned but pushed by above as I blurted easily, let’s go when the plans were different,…which was to stay home and continue working. So, we sat in the office, which was peaceful and cozy. As we sat with the doctor, he checked my family member, and I blurted out the image that I had of him being a man with white hair and older, even though I had seen his picture before. The reality was that it was blurted because it was not the right moment. The message was left on standby, and I decided to be quiet, administer God’s blessed message, and listen, not saying a word afterward. There was a message, and I apologize at this very moment; the message was that his father/grandfather and mentor were present. The image is of two older men with white hair, one a bit grumpy and the other puffed cheeks. They are kind men. I have no idea if his father has passed or is alive, which means the bond that exists is so strong that perhaps he has not shared that immense love he has for his son, but there was the soul of a fatherly figure with white her, a loving but strict person who made his way through and made way for the doctor sitting in the room. The second man seemed more like a mentor who had guided him with knowledgeable information, words, and soothing while persevering in what this doctor wanted—raised in a very knowledgeable and structured environment. The message of love, of being proud, eternal bonds, a reinforcement of a project that he is working on, and a thankful note for what he did in those difficult days. It is a reminder of such love when you are not able to say that you are proud of the success, of being part of the family, the laughter, and much of what is being completed in this time. Perhaps, as he said, what was an optical illusion as the message was not delivered other than I thought you had white hair. We all have different perspectives and experiences, and to deliver a message like this one is very special and requires perhaps a discreet moment. However, I loved this little excerpt in God’s net that says, “By the power of the Holy Spirit, because of the blood of Jesus and our redemption in Him, God allows us to see what our natural eyes cannot; He allows us to see beyond the surface and into the reality of things as they are according to God’s plan, work, and good purposes. This is a very special doctor, treasured in my heart for all his God-given wisdom and talent. He is very special to my family member, and he spent a long time with us answering all the questions; and he was very concise and precise with his patience, but most of all, he displayed eyes of kindness, love, and light. The special moment and as said before in the last writing, “that those who departed, who are in heaven, will cheer for you to find peace, for you to treasure the time together, and that you will be reminded of all the good moments together every day, through a child, through a note, through a colleague of his, through things that moved around your house just so you know you are not alone, many angels allowed by Father almighty are with you. There will be a reminder of all those special dates because love is infinite and eternal.

I love testimonies, especially when there is a confirmation. Most of all, they become a testimony of how much Father loves us. It is how Father Almighty places people in our lives. As you speak here and there, you start seeing the kind of transformation one sees in oneself. As I spoke to one of my friends after praying, the message was loud and clear to call the person from my last story. Her story is so beautiful: Father Almighty displays His timing and how God works out things for good in her family. We had prayed for her Father as he went through surgery and the decisions that were to take place for the surgery to happen. Here is the thing: she said I am not the same person as before; my perspective and view have been changed, the changes inside to out, releasing control, but I loved two parts of her story. One of the main parts was control and its beauty; Our Father Almighty seeks that we place all in his hands, knowing he has our back. She shared today that point, she said I did ask for prayer but that day she placed all in God’s hands and went to sleep knowing that it would all be ok. The second of releasing control was she loves races, but sometimes God does not want you to run so that you may admire the beauty in his works, the nature surrounding her. We may get irritated, frustrated, and even angry due to being sick, yet she showed up and completed her race, and the end she came in walking as she did not feel good, so she walked to the race but did get to admire nature in full display ======================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================xx

I will leave this, which I guess is part of the writing. The word Display is defined by Merriam-Dictionary Online as “making a prominent exhibition of (something) in a place where it can be easily seen.” So, where better than in nature or in the love of a person? She learned that there is no control over what can happen yet. It is your race to run, and no matter how you run it, it is only yours to run. 

As we spoke, I had prayed the night before with Sister Alice; she said something before that I shared with my friend…I will explain in a bit. God is awesome; he gives us so much love, provides Family time when needed, and teaches us to observe the little details that make and mark a difference. Her apartment is where she has prayed for many moments; it is funny because all her family always stays there. Her Father is now recovering from surgery there, and it is a place where they are all together, coming and going. God had given her the message that He would bring her family together for love and attention,  she said, but things were still missing. We commune together and pray; we present everything, releasing all to God and the beauty in her circumstances. He is “making a prominent exhibition of (something) in a place where it can be easily seen,” but she said what about the rest. Well, as much as He gives and shares, He seeks for us to comply with him, to pray and praise, we go to church, the why; Church is where we find our center, our healing, where we give in and surrender it all in his hand and walk out with such learning and in peace, knowing for certain that our prayers have been heard. As we prayed with Sister Alice, my Spiritual Mother Sister, something beautiful was said: God gives us so much, we rejoice, and we are in our first love with him, but when we see the things that do not happen, our faith weakens, it becomes anesthetized and then hope rises again and faith is awakened, then when we take a view of the whole path or journey He has taken you, you are just marveled of all the changes that you have gone through, that you did not notice before and every single person who looks at you, says how radiant you look. To be thankful for what he has done, a strong lady, resilient, and with much more to walk with God.

I love the screen on my computer; it displays many different screen savers. For the last two days, it has been dolphins. In the Bible, “dolphins are often associated with intelligence, freedom, and grace. They symbolize harmony, joy, and friendship. Dolphins also represent God’s provision and protection, as they are known for rescuing people in danger. Their presence in the scriptures reminds us of God’s care and love for His creation. He gave us the courage to overcome everything in our path by continuing, moving forward, and not looking back, all of which are within our capacities. It was such a huge learning, such a blessing from God. Especially when He loves your soul so much, and even more beautiful, when there is a soul in heaven filled with love and a gift to be your angel. 

I recently hung up with a friend who was in Australia and is now in Bali. She is a beautiful, big-hearted lady who helps everybody find their way. A reminder of how she has lived her life is to “Live, live, and live; happiness can be given by you, by your heart, but joy can be found when you release all control in the hands of the Almighty Father.  God wants us to be in peace, in tranquility and bring harmony to our lives, and that comes to whisper in our ears negative spirits in the free will realm. We allow them to take over, the spirits undermine, and break our minds and hearts leaving just sadness of what was or whichever is the circumstance because we allow it. There is so much beauty in the love Father provides us, teaching us solidarity which means “an awareness of shared interests, objectives, standards, and sympathies creating a psychological sense of unity of groups or classes and it is what she does, she provides love in here activities , which is sounds. Excerpt from Wikipedia. “The spiritual eyes are the capacity to perceive(or see) spiritual realities.”To keep the fire going, to build a firm foundation on what has been learned, and to reconcile, as forgiveness comes first, and we build the arch strong, forgiveness to find joy.

I will come back as there is a letter and much more…

From the BIble 

Hebrews 6 NIV 

6 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites,[b] the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.

4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen[c] away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation. 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who, through faith and patience, inherit what has been promised.
