Poe the Holy Spirit's touch is so peaceful and comforting. So good to hear you felt His presence in your sleep.

As for the chart sis, it's ok to make it challenging, but don't make it too challenging, as you might fall short of reaching your goals. Make your goals achievable as well as challenging.

I know you still have some aches, but the aches will heal as you continue to allow God to do a work in you.

luv ya

Hello Poeschmoetoedoe *hug*

God bless you this day, sweet Poe.

I've been reading along with your journal posts, and I am very excited for you. The Lord has already revealed so many awesome things to you and His healing is wider, higher and deeper than we can imagine.

The couple times I've heard you sing, it was evident that you love the Lord. Not just in the sweetness of your beautiful voice that was gifted you from God, but in the Spirit flow that came through the singing. While I could not see you in person as you sang, The Holy Spirit gave me glimpses of your spirit. It was one with His Spirit -- awesome, beautiful, it glorified our Lord. At no time did I imagine you singing while simultaneously sticking your tongue out at the enemy of our soul. If you had been, your focus would have not been on God and the Spirit flow would have been different.

In your last post you shared a beautiful experience you had with The Lord wherein you felt His awesome presence. Beautiful!!! Thank You Lord. But then in the next moment you jokingly stuck your tongue out at the enemy -- as if to taunt him.

Sweet Poe, don't take your focus off our Lord. He is your Saviour, your redeemer and your safe haven. Don't be tempted to look away from His presence or to look back like Lot's wife. Keep your eyes on The Father.

I'm praying for you, Poe. The Lord loves you so very much. There is so much freedom, beauty and renewal in our Lord.

God bless you.
Love,
Mack

Day 7

Ok - so today I didn't like what I read ... not because I don't want to hear the TRUTH, but because I have for the past few days, been remembering long-buried memories that I thought I have dealt with, but it seems I haven't.

There's this one that keeps cropping up ... and by writing it here, I am pulling it out.

I was little and we were on our way back from a braai (barbeque) and my dad had been drinking and him and my mom were arguing in the car. My dad stopped the car, got out and walked off. I woke up later with my dad breaking the bottles of booze on the kitchen floor while him and my mom were shouting at one another. I started crying and my dad came into my room. I thought he wanted to make me feel better, so I tried to hug him, but he pushed me away. He then sat next to me and started telling me how he never wanted me, because as the last born after two sisters, I was supposed to be a boy to carry on the family name and then when I wasn't a boy when I was born, he decided I would never be good enough for him. He told me how I would never be good enough ... EVER. All my life I have been striving to be good enough for him and for others ... to make up for the fact that I wasn't a boy.

Ugh.

Another lie of the enemy comes to mind ...

A few years ago my mom told me how I almost died when I was born ... I was in an incubator for weeks before they could take me home. The doctors told them I would never survive and that even if I did, I would never amount to much.

What hogwash!

I am tired of lies and am running after His TRUTH now. What a painful, yet liberating process!

*Halo*

hogwash! amen... I always try to tell myself any one who has to dictate to me who I am in cutting is a warning its the spirit of the enmie and glad ya know that now poe sooo many dictators in this life I see them as the enmies curve balls and fork in the roads to keep us but with Christ yet opprotunitys ... Yamen I see it as a way to take back whats God and beat the enemie at his game now ...

how He reverses the Truth I now living tryn to reverse everything he does not just cuz it for us but cuz its for God and Gods Glory living that Victory Jesus has already Won for us and that makes me feel so much better knowing the enemie cant have it and ball now in our court and we take it all back what rightfully is ours in Christ ...

sounds raw but thats what they are nothing but the enemie in the raw ...
Thank God He shows us that and loves us and them lies are just enemies cheap shots at us like boxing ya will learn to make bob and weave ur good friends and prayer and share will be the cream on the cake Preferably chocolate! As the Lord leads ya amen ...

Poe, when we listen to all the whispers and lies that the enemy speaks to us through others, it effects us as long as we allow it to. I'm glad you are finally seeing the Truth for what it really is....that you've been blinded by the words of others for far too long. Bringing it all into the Light, allows the healing to continue. Keep walking, sharing and moving forward through the steps. Your doing great.

luv ya

Poe I think you're so awesome. You have been an inspiration to many.
Love you dearly. *hug*

by **momof3** » Sat Jun 13, 2009 2:59 pm

me poepoe, im so thankful you are seeing these things for what they are. The Lord is so good. We so often read and say...seek and you will find, knowing it is truth for others, but not always accepting it for ourselves. The things we hear and believe growing up, like that little girl who was so unacceptable to her earthly dad, causes us to believe (almost unbeknownst to us) that our Heavenly Father sees us the same way. We dont even know we see Him that way till He shines His light of truth on it as He has done here, now. It is and will transform your thoughts, sis. Keep letting Him reveal the TRUTH to you. You are priceless to Him. Love you, girl. He is so very good.

in Jesus,
momo *Pray*

You guys are having AS much an influence (a very very good one at that) on me as those bad memories are and for that I can not thank God enough.

This has been a very very emotional and tough week for me, but I am hanging in there, because I have had a glimpse of the REAL me in Christ and I can't WAIT to see all of me as I go on this journey.

Walk with me ....

Day 8

Very interesting that before I even did the last Step 8, I already experienced some of it last night. I was preparing to lead worship at church this morning and was singing and spending time with God. The TV was on, but turned down and I kinda had my back to it. For some reason I turned around and saw something I shouldn't have. It was SUCH a battle to get that out of my thoughts!
UGH!!

So I quoted scripture and told the TRUTH until my mind and spirit was back with God.

This process has been so tough, but so very liberating! I can't stress that enough... If you have been hesitant to do it, I would recommend that you jump in and get stuck in, because the rewards are out of this world!

I have been speaking truth over myself for the first time in my life. It is so much more satisfying than those lies.

I continue on my journey.
