You died to the old thoughts of repetition (good& evil) 😈 (2 horns-towers that rise to heaven like towers of babel)
You were born again to the new thought of redemption. (Life) 😇 (24 elders sitting around the throne of God 24 hrs a day.. they are elders because who else is older than time?) they have one answer they repeat 24/7 around your mind. HOLY X 3
Here is the word I have in my mind.
First you will beat your plowshare into a sword and be at war within a double mind.
Last you will beat your sword into a plowshare and plant the seed of life.
First your thoughts will be at war wanting to fight fight fight and win at all costs always adding & subtracting good & evil thoughts that end up dead one way or another. This & that here & there which is a DARK mind
Last your thoughts will be at peace producing & cultivating fruitful thoughts that are only multiplying and want life and life a new way of life made ubundantly clear. Transforming into Something that grows shines and is a LIGHT mind.
Without judgement there is no salvation. We judge those thoughts that are inside of us….not the ones outside.
Oh that is such a good lesson and such a wonderful way of telling your testimony. Your posts are very well written and so inspiring!
This 'stopping and receiving' is something I'm currently learning too. It's taking me a long time and I know there's more I need to let go of. I'll take a leaf out of your book and turn off my trying to force things and ask God to ease out the kinks, so His power can flow. I think that's what I did the other day...
God spoke to me through the account in John's Gospel of Jesus coming to the disciples in the storm and they invited Him into their boat. They then reached their destination immediately! (They had been rowing for several miles but the storm was too much for even these experienced fishermen.)
This was a situation that did need physical strength but their own wasn't sufficient (just as mine isn't at the moment while packing to move house). Jesus provided when they invited.
So I invite Jesus into my boat each morning now. I needed to pack for a two week stay at my sister's and suddenly, after weeks of mess and confusion (brain fog and fatigue) my bags are packed - in a single day!!!! So now I can go to my sister's while my husband deals with the actual house move. I shall tell him about this insight - I think he may need to ask Jesus into his boat too! 😉
It's so true that God often teaches and heals and brings inspiration in the little everyday things. So glad you're noticing those nudges from God. I pray you continue. 🙏😇
I like your boat analogy too. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Glad you received the message conveyed. Remind your hubby, life is a marathon and not a sprint as he undertakes the whole move effort. It can be both a mentally and physically taxing endeavor. My prayers are with you both as you walk into this transition. 🙏🏿✝🕊
"Life is a marathon, not a sprint." That's a good reminder.
Our house move has unexpectedly been delayed by three weeks. And we realise we need to slow down and take some time out from moving prep, even have some days out when I feel well enough. 🥰
Now I'm marooned at my sister's house (what was 2 weeks has suddenly morphed into 5!) I also hope to spend some quality time with her and her husband. Praying blessings over them as they have house guests for far longer than expected! 😇
God orchestrates all these unexpected turns for His reason. It's always interesting to look back on these life events (often many years later) to find and understand those reasons. Make the most of the time there. Peace and blessings to you and the fam. 🙏🏿✝🕊
On similar lines, you might like to see this one - about the widow's jar of oil never running out (not becoming full, just never running out) because she changed supplier.
The work of stopping is such an intense undertaking. My mind and actions are geared towards moving towards a target to overcome instead of yielding this ground to The Lord so I can be shown.
Desert Sage has nudged me in this direction. You have the same guidance. I'm grateful to have you both helping me to see better.
Thanks you Scott. The feelings are mutual brother. It’s both interesting and exciting to watch the Holy Spirit work through all of us in the fulfilment of our Father’s will. 🙏🏿✝🕊

Insightful and edifying reflection. Feels like you've watered my soul.
Happy to hear it my friend and thank you for reading. 🙏🏿✝🕊
