Striving To Be "Christ-Like"!

Today was just the most amazing feeling of peace I have had. The birds were singing beautifully, not worried about where their food was coming from, the sky was beautiful, the sun was warm on my face, and just looking at the beauty of our land you wouldn't think a worldwide virus pandemic was still going on, everything seemed so at ease, so quite and peaceful, which my mama and I discussed in that moment.  *And, when the news came on the TV this evening something caught my attention, as well as my mama's, when President Trump was speaking... there was a calmness and assurance in his voice and on his face, that our country would be over this soon and he continued with facts not FEAR. People can hate or dislike him if they want, but he's continually done his best to not cause fear and to remind people of the importance of prayer and God in the middle of all of this; he has not endorsed or recommended panic buying; he continually has said that there is no shortage of food in t...

Around Valentine's Day in 2017, my mama bought me this KJV journaling (art) creative Bible... during this COVD-19 pandemic we're experiencing in 2020, I'm thankful to be back in the habit of continuing with this form of studying the word as we are in this time of quarantine! ♡KEEPING MY MIND ON THE WORD♡

I picked up a hymn book last night, on the shelf beside my bed, sit it on my lap, and it fell open to this song. I hold on to the words of this hymn I've heard sung many times! Y'all, I want to know that I'm ready, watching, & waiting for the Lord's return with each passing day! There is such a tugging I feel going on in the spiritual realm! Don't stop praying or fighting for what you believe in, even in these bleak days of uncertainty, the words to another timeless hymn come to mind, "this child can face uncertain days, because HE lives!" ♡ 3.24.2020 my words for this day, as I continue journaling about the days of COVID-19 pandemic.

Do I know if this quarantine will last 40 days, or if there will be something connected to the No. 40 when this is over? No I don't!? I have no knowledge of how long it will last, but upon continuing to pray and study the word, I know there is a spiritual purpose and reasoning behind this time especially for the Christian church. I do keep seeing in my spirit, a banner that says, "you've entered into 40 days of PERSONAL revival!" There is a significance to the No. 40, and I was shifted into a direction of studying about this. Why forty days? The number forty (40) is seen a number of times in the Bible as a period of trial, of a testing in order to be cleansed or refined and perfected (I do think that is taking place to better equip His last day church to continue bringing others into His Kingdom); like products are tested and their flaws corrected in order to ensure their capability and durability. In Noah’s time it rained 40 days and 40 nights...

♡ Can I just say how much I love this?! Maybe this will bring Christians back to a place of how important it is to live this way all of the time. Lockdown is a time to:

There is a spiritual purpose behind this time of being quarantined: Have you ever wondered why Jesus went into the wilderness for 40 days (His time of being quarantined)? Here He is, the son of God, sent to save the world, having only a short time in which to fulfill His earthly ministry. Yet God saw fit that His son should spend 40 days and 40 nights away from civilization, away from any opportunity to help or bless people. Why? (I have known and felt since I was a 18 that God has placed me on this earth to be an end time of minister, and I feel once this quarantine is lifted, doors will be open for me to preach and teach what thus saith the Lord with a boldness, confidence, and greater anointing that He can only give me, for He is preparing me for such a time as this.) Before we can understand why Jesus went into the wilderness, it is necessary to understand the event which immediately preceded it, and its significance. The event which immediately preceded Jesus’ journey in the wilde...

I sit down in my recliner to read and study the word before bed, and my Bible fell open right to Psalm 91. Coincidence, oh I think not!! ♡ With Jesus, there is always purpose behind everything! This is my vaccine during this Coronavirus 2020 pandemic!! *What I wrote in my bible notes years ago: "you've got to get in that secret place with God and hear Him say the word: 'SURELY... I will deliver you'!" My 3.18.2020 post. I'm journaling about these days.
