If I had read or come across stp. 3 in S. O. T. at some other time than today, I would definitely not understood the "inside" meaning of it , oh, I have , for that matter , read them B 4 , but just filed them under "knowledge" .

It wasn't that long ago , that I was tossing a question of " why do some people insist on quoting Scripture as other than what it is ?" around , but between the reading today & the events of yesterday , through the Spirit, I find myself asking " But isn't that what You have been doing all along vahn ? "

Maybe, If I were to change the title of this post to " Who was that masked man ? " would be more appropriate to describe what I'm about to write next .

Just for starts , that's the feeling I woke up with this morning , and , out of habit that I'd aquiered by listening to others I said "don't even try to figure it out by yourself vahn , just let it happen , the answer will come by itself " . Sooo , I'm typing , again .
See most of my life , my "idea" of Scripture was limited (by me) to , "dont murder and all's well" then I get this , they murdered this man Jesus , and evryone's going "All's well !! " Hmmm , Ok 4 sale sign goes up on the Bible (Like new , hardly used) and that was the end of it for me , I mean " These guys will turn you to mush " " they're trying to brainwash you " , the works !

Needless to say that ,if there ever was a brain that needed to be washed , it was mine ! and I thank God for that today. For without my knowledge of it , the past 2 weeks , there was this subtle gnawing in the back of my head that I couldn't put my finger on it , but did I found out yesterday or what ? , I think it was the fact that , very subtely , I was thinking " yep , vahn , you are turning to mush , how else would you be putting up w/all this and say 'all's well' n and act as if nothing's happening" .
Covered under the guise of pride and ego , I was the one who was turning myself to mush by resisting the power of the Holy Spirit to do the "work" instead , that I was telling myself I'm getting weaker & weaker, but yesterday , without me knowing it , I realize now that , I just unleashed the Spirit ( if that makes sense , at all) and that "Masked man" was the Spirit in me , working through me saying , "this is how its done" .
Now try to call me brainwashed , or mush , my answer will be " U huh , It'd be in your best interest not to get me going !! "

My daughter this morning asked me " How did you sense the scam ? How did you know the monitor was stolen ? " I said "Have no clue sis , but I can show you this garden ? "

It is my only hope, and prayer that she'd buy some potting soil today , and I also know that typing is much easier than fighting , you guys just keep up the good work !

May God & the Holy Spirit bless you , always !

Vahn that Holy Spirit sure can bring Light to the darkness....how did you know that monitor was stolen? It's a gift called discernment. The Lord is giving you this gift to use through the power of the Holy Spirit. Just remember the more you grow with God the more realms He is going to bring you to walk in. I recently was introduced to the realm of Spiritual Warfare....very different and kinda scary at first. Just know that you don't have to figure out the gifts and how to use them....He will use them for you....so hang on for the ride.

luv ya

Why is it every time I pat myself in the back for having gone through another milestone , you go " There's moooore !"

Can't wait !!

Oh, by the way , right after posting the phone rings , Caller ID reads Florida call , " hello ? " -- "You have a collect call from ... " click !

Hands Down !! If there's more I'm ready !

Well here's the catch, when you get good at catching one of the enemy's tricks and can recognize it for what it is...a mean ol' trick...then he will change tactics and try to do something else to throw you off. That's why we need the Holy Spirit to guide us so much, cuz He knows they are tricks and He will offer us a way out always.

luv ya
