A weekend away
--At my Mom's House for a weekend away--
...and as I prayed, just laying there in bed, God showed me something amazing. He showed me an image of what I guess was my thought life and all the pollution that I had let in...but this one piece of "thought" or brain had not yet been inlfuenced or polluted by the world or my allowing myself to absord the things of the world. Around this untouched area were dozens of angels walking around the outside border dressed in bright white. I realized the more I looked at it, the more I understood, without ever hearing a word, what this meant. I had allowed coruption, and even sometimes pursued willing the coruption in the world to enter my eyes which in turn entered my brain and polluted what "innocence" it found there...making all but this little area of it corupted. "GUard this with all that you have Rob" is what I was feeling....."Take ever effort to make sure that you don't allow this last piece of your thought life to be overrun...do not pursue and be conformed any longer to the ways of this world, instead, be transformed by the RENEWING of your mind.."
What you read above, in more words or less, is about a moment I had 2 nights ago while I tossed and turned in bed, restless with anxiety. I began to pray and ask God to give me peace and rest. And then for some reason I began to ask God to search me and knew my anxious thoughts (Psalm 139)...and the above is what he showed me. I am guilty over and over again of pursuing the aveneues of the flesh. I have been sentenced to death just as many times by Satan...his lies have stolen my joy and my willingness to RUN AWAY. But praise God for His mercies are NEW every morning! This passage rings true this day...
O Lord how many my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. Many are saying of my soul, 'There is no deliverance for him in God. But Thou O Lord art a shield about me, My Glory and the One who lifts my head. I was crying to the Lord with my voice, and He answered me from His holy mountain. I lay down and slept; i awoke, for the Lord sustains me. .:Psalm 3:3-5:.
