Esau and what He told me

 

 Good morning Saints....    Saw this pic and it reminded me of an encounter I had many years ago... I was in  a big park like setting just standing and enjoying the views and this man approached me and said, "Don't let food keep you from your future!"  He was very emphatic.   When I asked Holy Spirit I instantly knew he was Esau!    I said, "Okay sir." I felt his sincerity.     Then I was back home...

 ¹⁵ See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. ¹⁶ See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. ¹⁷ Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done. 

 This hit home for me because I could see that I was using food as a crutch.   Whenever I was upset I would turn to food for comfort.   Hollow comfort for sure because then you beat yourself up for overeating.   It becomes  a nasty cycle of self pity.   

Since then I am turning to Holy Spirit for comfort and I try to ask God if I am hungry before I put food in my mouth.  Also,  when I am feeling full I sow the rest of the meal or snack as self control and believe for a hundred fold harvest.     I have learned to watch what I do in stressful situations  like driving bus... cause I can stress eat  just as bad. 

Yes there is grace for us but when we make excuses and refuse to and change then we get stalled in our growth.    We are the only ones that can stop God's plan  and I am not going to miss out on all that God has for me!  No idols allowed and food can be a huge idol in our lives!

So be encouraged!   If God is highlighting an area of your life that he wants you to work on go for it!   It's a sign of his love, that he has great plans for you and doesn't want you to miss out!   I know I was really impacted when I met Esau... He missed out on so much  and he knows it!   I don't want to miss out on what God has for me!

 So I Bless you richly!   Don't give up.. He'll help you like he's helped me!

Love,

More Victory!

 Good afternoon Saints!   It's been a couple of months and I have had consistently more victory as I drive around the city so I need to give credit where credit is due.

 Nancy Coen has taught several times on the Merkaba.   You can find her teachings on https://sons.global/

This was Very helpful.    I used to do the steps then I started stringing them together like Nancy does.   So powerful!  No warfare anymore!   I just decree that no weapon formed against me prospers and that every tongue that's risen against me is condemned and it's been smooth sailing!  (Isa 54:17)  And no, I have not backed off.

God's got me driving around this city cleansing the leigh lines  and I won't quit till He says to. You need healing...   step on my bus.  You need hope get on my bus.  I always claim the atmosphere of heaven and decree that no demons can manifest on my bus.   You're homeless and need a safe space for a nap... hop on my bus.   

My latest thing if you don't have fare is to tell  them you can either sing a song, do a dance or use the magic word.   You would be surprised at how many people don't know the magic word is please!   So I am teaching them.   

If I get offended I quickly tell myself... It's not my circus and they're not my monkeys.   (Fare evasion problems are way above my pay grade.)  Then I decree that I'm quick to hear, slow to speak and very slow to get angry or offended. (James 1:19)

So I guess my encouragement is to keep pressing in for the answers you seek.   Your diligence will be rewarded!   The Bible says that they that hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled! (Matt. 5:6)

Bless you richly!
