Removal of the Black Cloud

November 29, 2011

I AM NOT WHO I SEEM TO BE... you see God took me and did some amazing things.  My views are different than yours, but yours still matter.  I have been angry and sinned, but have went to God for help.  I have thrown tantrums, but thank God He didn't shoo me away.  I have smoked, but thank God for making me so ill I can't stand it anymore.  I have said bad words, but thank God He refills me with the Holy Ghost to keep my words holy.  I have sipped on liquor, but thank God for giving me 'new wine' to sip, that I may enjoy the influence of the Spirit!  I have spread gossip, but thank God for teaching me to abstain from the appearance of ALL evil.  I have been on the verge of losing my marriage to pornography, but thank God for restoring my marriage to what He expects it to be; one flesh.  I have spoke against my brothers and sisters in the Lord, but I thank God they have shown forgiveness and have been an example to me.  I have been hurt and you never knew it, but I thank God for teaching me to love NO matter the circumstance, that my hurts are nothing to what He had endured at Calvary!  You see I am human and I am subject to failure but it is not my failures that define me.  I chose to serve an understanding God, even when the world understands NOT.  I am royalty.  I claim my heritage and refuse to stay down when the devil thinks he has won.  I refuse to let intimidation tell me I am nothing!  I refuse to let family and friends, who lack in understanding, place doubt of my 'birthright' in my mind.  While some see and make a mockery of me, they do not realize they are attacking Gods anointed and it is not my battle, but the Lords!  While some sit back and dwell in my flaws, I am moving forward, leaving all the filth, anger, bitterness, JEALOUSIES, hurts, worries, distractions, pride, self pity, and the negativity behind!  There can be none of this in my home to come.  God is a Holy God and will not allow such strife to enter in His gates.  What the enemy meant for evil God has surely meant for good.  He shall increase my territory and He shall encamp Angels about me.  He has thrown all my sin in the sea of forgetfulness and I now am letting go as well.  'Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.' Psalms 27:11-12.  I will bless them that curse me and love my enemies.  God is Love and I shall spread His love all around me.  I do not know your story but my past was too much to bear WITHOUT Jesus.  There is a key to all this!  REPENTANCE!  I chose to serve God with everything in me, when I fall He does not kick me to the curb, but all the angels rejoice when ONE sinner REPENTS.  Turn around.  Walk away.  Do not touch.  Give it all to Jesus and REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!  Repent for Gods word plainly says  'The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.' 2 Peter 3:9-10.  I want to make Heaven my home, what about you?

Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.  1 John 4:4. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalms 45:1.  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.  Galatians 2:20.  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.  Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;  2 Timothy 1:6-8.    For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.  Psalms 18:28.  This woman was full of good works and alms deeds which she did.  Acts 9:36.  Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:  James 1:19.   For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.  O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.  And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.   No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.   Isaiah 54:10-17.  Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.  Proverbs 31:30


A letter to my Friends,

Before the Lord had given me this message, I had been impressed to ask a few groups on Facebook to tell me a scripture they had thought of after reading my post.  I was unsure of Gods plan on this but listened to the Spirits call.  The above are the ones given and I now know the purpose God had for that very deed!  You see, we all to often overlook Gods word.  We want to figure things out on our own but in all reality we ALL need Christ!  Complete strangers whom I have never met had built a prayer just for me, using Gods word.  I know all of the Bible is for my continual use, but Jesus needed to show Himself to me; let me know how HE can help me.  This is my personal prayer, to better myself and to know I am protected.  Being in His covenant has great advantages and knowing my Savior has used people all across the world to get the point across to me, has been some journey!  I had forgotten Gods promise and was allowing other things to consume me and even through it all Christ was saying, "O child, do you not know who you are? Does my word not matter? Who is in charge here? I sent you The Comforter, but your faith still is weak. Let me give you strength. Let me lighten your load. Seeking approval of mankind is not what I have called you to do. Let me remove this black cloud so that you may see clearly and that it may no longer suffocate you."  I was not allowing God to be God. To keep yourself from being in the same stagnant place, I am encouraging  you to start SEEKING the Word of God.  Take scriptures that uplift and pertain to YOU and personalize them!  Claim your inheritance and know YOUR worth.  Speak peace in your life and surrender your worries to Him!  He will allow trials to strengthen us and that we may put our trust ONLY in Him, so today I say goodbye to the person, that wants to hang on to past  problems and circumstances that I can not control.  I am declaring FREEDOM.  I am letting patience have her perfect work and I am moving forward... here is what is left of that chapter and please join me as I welcome a new beginning!
With Love in our Lord Jesus Christ,
Sister Emily
