Much Later Post, Therefore More Introduction

                                                        

Hello Dear Friends, Family, and Life Colleagues,
As I stated in the introduction concerning myself and my personal prayer writing blog, I am quite new to this. It had been many, many months since attempting to do this - to figure things out in general and so many life happenings that prevented me from continuing, etc. etc.

Most recently, I started a new blog post for book writing concerning my personal learning's on a different site. Can't say that I am going to continue with it for sure. It will have to be according to The Lord's leading. However, I was able to find the perfect blog design for my style of writing that I find quite fitting. I believe the pictured design speaks volumes concerning my work. It's calm, serene, pleasant to the eyes, and the picture itself depicts exactly what my work entails.  ------It's what God has employed me to do for the benefit of all my friends, family, and colleagues in life. Through this blog I will be sharing with them what encourages, lifts & supports me when I need it and no one is around or cares to help; or just to share the goodness and excitement of life. But the Holy Spirit is always there when you need Him. He is the one person you can always count on to never leave you or forsake you, or leave you without hope, and Who actually ENJOYS YOUR HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS.

I am new to blogging and to having my own personal website, so bare with me as I grow in this new venture. My goal is to exalt Christ, glorify God, and to be a blessing to God's family here on earth. And for those who have often wondered whether someone actually prayed for them when then needed or requested it, now you know. And if you don't, you will.  I believe God has employed me to write for the very purpose of sharing with them what encourages, lifts and supports me when I need it. After all, one learns best from personal experience, whether from first hand experience or from the mentoring of one who shares their own experience in order to help give revelation and wisdom where it may be lacking in the one in need of it.

And if it seems to you that I am altogether perfect based on your estimations of what I write ... let me make it quite clear that I am not. I am just as human as you are and need God just as much. On the other hand, I also firmly believe that God is doing whatever is necessary to grow us all up in Christ for the sake of The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness in Jesus' precious and Holy Name. Amen. God has created us to enjoy life - to enjoy Him as well as to enjoy each other. God never  intended for us to live a mediocre or subpar life. He has long desired for us to know only His absolute best and nothing less; yet many of us have sorely missed out while others have no clue how wonderful they really have it. And most of us, if not all of us, have taken God for granted and not treated Him with the respect He so rightfully deserves. And what does God want for us His children? Nothing but the absolute very best. To experience The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness on earth as He does in Heaven. How do we do that? We will all learn that together. Heaven has given me a taste of it - a lesson that spoke volumes to me. And yes, we can communicate with Heaven Itself. And it is awesome!

Got your attention?? Good. Then you're in for a real treat as I open myself up and pour out of my soul the best of what is in me at any given time just so I can be a blessing to The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness. Amen.

I am sure that you have wondered why the big gap in the timing of my writings. That's because I forgot about where I had first originated my blog due to so many happenings in my life. But writing is important to me and it has been told me by more than one person that many would appreciate what I have to offer because it's different and fresh. I have often thought so, for more than 20+ years. I just never knew how to put my writing to work so that others could also benefit. But now the way is opening up so that I can. Writing is a must for me. It's an outlet, even an inlet, so to speak, that helps to me to not only unload the negatives, but to also gain fresh perspective on whatever situation, condition, or relation arises. Not all that I receive, such as is in bold print in the above paragraphs, is revealed through writing. Sometimes it comes as a direct download from Heaven. And it seems to me that the more I seek The Lord or The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, the more I ponder how we pray and whether we might have actually made a habit of praying amiss. And it seems to me that we might have been. Not in everything, mind you; but maybe in where it counts most.

Any one actually consider that the bible might actually be more correctly viewed as a book of secrets? I have thought so for years. Of course I have been told otherwise by some who say that I am  utterly wrong on the subject. Of course I have been told how wrong and utterly incorrect I have been about the things I have shared over the years only to find that in spirit and in truth I was actually hearing quite well the teachings of God and of Heaven, and of what I received so many years ago is coming back around by big named preachers and ministries. Some of which I shared with them and some of which I get so excited about hearing again. Some in much greater detail, and some not so much. But all of it confirmation, nonetheless. Confirmation that what I was receiving was true and direct from The Lord, even direct from Heaven Itself. But because I felt all alone, and apparently did not trust God enough to be my sure foundation, my rock and high tower and to be  there for me, I found it difficult to keep going with my Holy Spirit course curriculum. I had suffered so much torment, abuse, neglect at every turn and was utterly alone in my plight not understanding why and not being able to make sense of what I was going through.

 -- I was constantly crying out to God that I was not going insane, that I could not be the only one receiving the teachings I was getting that were not being well received when I shared them with my spiritual mentors, church leaders and church family. I couldn't understand why such things were being entrusted to me or why I might possibly be the only one to receive them. However, when I shared them I was ridiculed, told I was hearing only what I wanted to hear and that I was totally in the wrong and that it was not of God. But what it really was, was that I was receiving spiritual wisdom, knowledge, and revelations even though I did not possess the spiritual accreditations that made it ok to do so. In other words, I was not a formally educated pastor, elder, or whatever with all the degrees to back me up, which made it a big no-no. Of all that I had received at that time though, it was all confirmed to me in scripture anywhere from 3days to 3weeks. A fete I thought phenomenal because though I had studied God's word for over 15years at that time, I could not memorize it. I had found my resolve in understanding that many may know God's word inside out, backwards, forwards, upside down and topsy-turvy and they therefore feel that it gives them the right to be bible thumpers and view themselves as not only above reproach, but also better than the rest.  I found myself appreciating the fact that I could not memorize the Scriptures. I came to the conclusion that if it was not God, the things He was pouring into me would then not be found within the pages of God's Scriptures. However, each and everything He was pouring into me was found within God's Holy Word and it utterly humbled me. And that was my consolation; I was humbled that God found me worthy enough to receive words from Him and secrets from His Word. However, I believe that that is what God desires of each and every one of us. I do not believe that anything I receive either from God or from Heaven itself is meant to be for me, myself, alone. I believe that what is shared with me is meant for the benefit of all concerned - to bless all of The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness here on earth as well as in Heaven in Jesus' precious and holy Name. Amen.
