i am in so much trouble! i need help desperately. i am hurting, physically, emotionally, and mentally. i can't even write this without crying. due to some absolutely false statements made about me last semester, i am no longer employed as an adjunct college instructor. two students who did not like the fact that i held them to the standards that i set for my classes went to my supervisor with lies (e.g., that i was an alcoholic [i don't drink] and a drug addict [i don't take anything that isn't prescribed by a doctor]). even though there was no truth to these statements and others they made, i have no job. i'm trying to support myself through my artwork, but any artist who has tried this knows how difficult it is.

'Answer me when I call to you,
O my righteous God.

Give me relief from my distress;
be merciful to me and hear my prayer.

How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love delusions
and seek false gods?

Know that the LORD has set apart
the godly for himself; the LORD will hear
when I call to him.

In your anger do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.

Offer right sacrifices
and trust in the LORD.

Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?"
Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.

You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound.

I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in safety.'
Psalm 4
Amen.

DO NOT BE MOVED

Hide yourself in Me and let the storm pass over. I will lead you and direct you. I will give you garments of praise. I will sing My songs of love through you. Yes, many have vied for attention.

Many have sought to undermine the work I have done in you, but to no avail! You will rise up triumphant over all your enemies and I shall move you on into higher levels of authority than you have known. I will take you to the heights. I will cause you to soar with Me in Heavenly places. I will override the attempts of the enemy to steal from you what rightfully belongs to you.

Do not be troubled by things that are spoken by those around you. You know that I am the Lord of Hosts, that I am in control, and that I will bring all things into order, into proper perspective, into alignment with My will and purposes. Do not let their idle words pull you down. I have counseled you and given you jurisdiction to counsel others.

This is the day when I shall move you forward and into the promises of My kingdom. It has been a long hard road, but do not waver, and you will stand when others are falling. Listen to My words. Take counsel from them. I am able to turn all things around to your benefit.

I am able to take power out of the hands of one and put in into the hands of another. I am able to shift emphasis from one to another.
I am able to displace and unsettle those things that seem firm. I am able to turn the tables on those who cleverly form their own plan.

I am working in the lives of those who have caused My loved ones to stumble. I shall cause their divided hearts to line up with My will and purpose.

I shall take their eyes off the world and settle them on Me. I shall take their roaming eyes and turn them upward. How long it has been for the process to be completed, for a heart undivided to be formed within man! I have called out time and time again, but to no avail. Yet one last time, I shall bring correction and bring these to their knees.

So do not be moved by the antics of those around you and do not be swayed off track. I will raise you up and endue you with power from on high, and the power will manifest itself with signs and wonders.

I will open doors that no man can close. I will triumph over injustice, so go in the way outlined to you and continue on the pathway laid out before you and do not be moved.

Begin with Jesus!!! I know it sounds trite. But you must get your eyes off the problem and on Jesus. You must look to Him and see Him as Who He is -- Your Provider, Redeemer, Deliverer. Start praising Him. As You lift Him up, exalt Him, magnify Him, He becomes bigger than Your problem. Exaggerate Him (impossible!!!), not the problem. Try to find the hugest, most awesome way to express His greatness. You will begin to feel faith arise. As He becomes bigger in your eyes, the problem will become smaller. Not that the problem will automatically go away. But you will definitely feel better!!! Your attitude toward your problem will change, and you will begin to see and feel their IS hope. The Lord told me that in 2004, we are simply supposed to come to Him, seek Him, come into His glory -- and from a position of walking wrapped in His glory, we are going to see the miracles flow. Think of it this way: If you could experience His awesome presence, wouldn't you rather do that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS then to have bad stuff going on around you and NOT experience His presence? So press into Him!!! Seek HIM, the Problem Solver, not the sollution to the problem. He will show You what to do. HE will reach out and do it, as you focus on Him.
It's summed up in this simple song:


Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace!

Seeking HIS Glory in 2004

i'm not sure what happened to the rest of my post from earlier this morning. in addition to being unemployed, i am in chronic debilitating pain. i have been for over two years now. having to rely on the county health system means i am not able to get the help that i need.

having grown up as a victim of multiple abuse by multiple abusers, i am only now reaching the point of being able to speak the truth about my life, which has angered my family to the point that they have disowned me; neither my parents nor my siblings will acknowledge me. they are aware of my financial distress, but they will not help me. they have knowingly allowed my electricity to be turned off and for me to go days without food without assisting me in any way.

i have been hurt deeply by several church-people. i have lost three friends in the recent past, and really have only one true friend in town. she loves me, but i know that sometimes i am too much for her.

i suffer from debilitating depression. i would dearly love to seek christian counseling, but not having any money keeps me from being able to do that.

a recent, serious car wreck, besides totalling my car, has exacerbated the physical pain.

i beg god to take me; i don't know how much more i can handle.

Dear Sister:

I want to encourage you that God wants you healed and whole. He never puts sickness on anyone, but rather, Father sent Jesus to die for our sins and our diseases.....by Jesus stripes, you were healed. 1Peter 2:24 and read Isaiah 53. He has healed me over and over and over of chronic pain and debilitating conditions. He is faithful. Don't give up hope.

However......I had to go thru a lot of "inner healing" of past hurts in order to get my physical healings. Lots of revelation knowledge had to come to me from the Lord and then lots of forgiveness and letting go of fear of man. Let the Lord do this cleansing work in you and your body will line up, so will your finances.

My prayer is that God will speak to your Spirit and reveal what needs to be healed, and teach you how to receive your healing. May the Lord give you the courage and strength to let Him do this work in you.

Love in Jesus,
(wingsofdove)
