Ears To Hear # 43

WHEN YOUR BLOOD

BEGINS

TO BOIL

    

         All the things the Lord teaches us can be brought to the surface of our minds to be used by Him…as instruction in righteousness…(doing what God calls “right”.) 
         I have felt His Gentle Correction many times in my spirit. But today seemed very unusual. Something happened that caused a flush of blood to rise up inside of me. I could almost sense the color of my skin changing. It was a surprise…something I wasn’t expecting.
         Then I remembered how God had given me the gift of Faith to Believe for the Impossible things in my life. And that they would be coming Unexpectedly…or when we weren’t necessarily looking for them as we continued to remain in His Rest and be awed by the Moving of His Hand on our behalf and the behalf of all His children. That we would see miracles coming to pass as we remain open to receive them. Then we can Glory in His Doings and not our own.

CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

         Whoa there flesh…I thought. What is this super high blood pressure in my spirit that I am experiencing? Immediately, I began to run a check on my reaction.
         I quickly ran a check list of ways I had reacted in the past and the lessons I had learned from my reactions. Immediate possibilities were: anger, retaliation, gossip…
         The desire to retaliate was the strongest. Then gossip…I wanted to tell someone what had happened. I put them both down although I did gossip with one friend. “Forgive me, Lord. I ask that you use even my mistakes somehow to Your Glory.”
         Reading Proverbs 23:b, I wanted wisdom from someone I trusted to hear from God. This verse said to me that I wanted someone who drinks the New Wine regularly and does not drink MIXED WINE…which to me, means making decisions ½ way like man does and ½ way like God does. I wanted the pure word of God. If I called anyone else, I was concerned that they would try to mix the truth, and the Gift of Faith, God had given me, might become diluted.
         As I prayed about this, I knew that the best Counsel I could receive would be from the Holy Spirit…but my eyes also fell on the verse Proverbs 24:6a
         “For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy  war:
         After receiving confirmation that it was okay to call my friend, I did. If she were not home, then I still had the Holy Spirit and God’s Word to guide me. She wasn’t and that was okay. So I left a message and it was a very short time before she returned my call.
         When I read the scripture above to her…Proverbs 24:6, the Holy Spirit shined a spot light on the word “war”. Hmmm. We both saw it. And it became the confirmation I needed to follow what I was beginning to suspect. 
         This was a “surprise attack” that could be used for evil or for good. Because of past, and actually some very present training, I did not fall into my old ways of doing things. When I saw how this fit in to bringing about one of those miracles I had chosen to expect God to bring about soon, I could rejoice and be exceedingly glad.

READINGS FROM MY BLOOD PRESSURE

REVEALED

         True Readings of my spiritual blood pressure, revealed that I was to continue to stand for what I believed God wanted to come to pass. And the desire and knowledge He had placed in me, to be able to receive it.
         In the past, I would have immediately accepted this experience as failure on God’s part and mine. That’s just what the devil would like. This rise in my blood pressure…was not to be feared…but to be accepted more as the Power of God given to me to Stand in Faith (high form of warfare) against any lies of the devil. To stand strong in the Word and Promises of God. It felt like that extra flow of adrenaline when one is face to face with an enemy. Yes, the enemy was doubt and fear. But the Blood Flow inside of me…caused me to rise up and Keep My Position before God. Trusting Him to Bring things to pass during this, HIS HARVEST TIME. 
         Praise God for friends who also listen to the Holy Spirit and Believe God’s Inspired Word. 
         As my friend said: “When we know the Father’s heart on an issue, and know His Nature, then we have all the faith we need to STAND. And we stand until there is no longer a reason to STAND. This requires Patience and Faith…the two Power Twins.

THE HAND OF GOD

         Because of the way this experience came to me, I have absolutely NO DOUBT, but that it was the HAND OF GOD. By Faith, we will see MANY more moves of the Hand of God. Things we have thought impossible until now, coming to pass in our lives and in the world. Keep Looking…not begging…just Looking and Expecting and Believing as God is Harvesting your prayers and mine. Praise God! His Choice always. His Way… Always. His Move NOW. Trust Him! Remain in His Rest…and Praise Him Daily, hourly, minute by minute. 

FINAL CAUTION:   “Please Double-check what you think your blood pressure reading is saying. You could be reading it wrong if you don’t wait upon the Lord to reveal what is going on in your heart. Should you get all red in the face and feel steam coming out the top of your head…turn it on the devil.  Use this new flow of adrenalin to not only stand your ground for God’s Word, but also to take a mighty stand against God’s enemy…Satan.
