Value of Concentration: Allow The Holy Spirit to control your thoughts.

Memory Verse: My thoughts are one with The Spirit.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

You are amazing, Father. As I sit here on my porch, and the rains are coming, you can literally see the corn begin to turn a deep green. We have not had rain for almost a month, and are in desperate need of a good soaking.

Taking in my surroundings, You speak to me: “Little Faith, I am in control. Stay within My Holy Word and I will guide your thoughts.”

MMMM.. a mind controlled by the Spirit; as I sip my Cup of Fancy(Buckeye Candy Decaf- splash of cream), this opens up a whole can of worms.

As a child, my denomination raised me in faith and morals. However, the fact that The Holy Spirit..God..the Spirit of God… actually lived within me, did not become a reality until I was 50 years old. The realization of being born again, finally came into full view. It literally blew my mind.

There are times that I have to go to the Word; the God that was pounded into me as a child, was a God of fear. He was certainly not a God of love. Throughout my 12 years of Christian Education, I was always striving; earn, earn, earn. If I forgot to confess a sin, God help me. I didn’t know if I’d make it to heaven or not.

It’s more than the human mind can comprehend. ABBA,   because of your Holy Spirit within me, you have promised me the following:

Deut. 28:13, Deut. 8:18, James 1:5-8, Luke 10:19 all declare the following: I am the head, not the tail. I have insight. I have wisdom. I have ideas and divine strategies. I have authority.

2 Timothy 1:7 I have a sound mind. I think the right thoughts. I say the right words, and make the right decisions in every situation.

HERE’S THE BIGGIE: Colossians 1:12-15 I am 100% loved by You, ABBA, and worthy to receive all of God’s blessings.

I still work on the fact, that You are a God of love. However, the series, THE CHOSEN, has brought your love for me to fruition. 

Does my sinful nature interfere? It is a constant. However, You are there to hone me back into place.

My first thoughts, as I awaken, are of You. LOL!  Recently, there’s been a poster out, that says the following, and I’ve cleaned up the language:”She awakened in the morning, her feet hit the floor.  The Devil cried out!

OH Darn! She’s up!”

Father, with your Holy Spirit actually living within me, and Grace washing over my sins,  I AM FREE!

Praise You, ABBA, for being the loving Father, who sees me as righteous. Thank You, Father for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: Man-made religions have infused many false teachings into their agendas. I am so sorry that you were so fearful of Me for such a long time. The greatest gift I can give you is the following: Jesus said unto her,”I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and he whosoever liveth and believeth in Me, shall never die.” This is my promise of eternal life that WAS EARNED… FOR THE WORLD. Grace washes over all of those whom have received my Son, Jesus, as their Lord and Savior.

To find the true love that I, ABBA, your Father has for you…soak your mind with John 3:16.  Remember, YOU ARE MINE!

I LOVE YOU.

Your,

ABBA, Father

PSALM 8:5 You have made him a little lower than the angels, and you have crowned him with glory and honor.

Romans 8:6 The mind of a sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.

Matt 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

2 Timothy 1:7 for God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
