Lying Shadows

I spotted my shadow today & even stopped to take a picture of it intrigued for a second. It was a great reminder that we all still have places where shadows live, the places we haven’t let His LIGHT shine in and overcome and also we have our flesh which is just one big shadow of death…That were not to live our lives letting our shadows take over what we do with ourselves like when a kid is dazzled by their own shadow and becomes unaware of oneself and spends the day away making puppets and animals. What do we do when the shadows convinces us of the opposite and we start mimicking them and they have far moved on from childish games into dangerous things? It reminds me of how Peter Pan’s shadow in the movie had a mind of its own and he was constantly battling it. Today I had come across some shadows in my thoughts and feelings. It caught my attention for a bit and struck some fear and uneasiness inside of me and I all of sudden felt the struggle of my new creation self being drowned out by the old me. GOD REMINDED ME THAT IT WAS JUST A BUNCH OF LIES AND JUST LIKE THE SHADOWS ON THE WALL THOSE LIES HAVE NO POWER OVER ME UNLESS I GIVE IT TO THEM. I WILL NO LONGER GIVE ANY TIME TO THOSE VAIN IMAGINATIONS TO BOAST OVER ME NO MATTER HOW REAL THEY FEEL. I CHOOSE TO STEP INTO THE LIGHT AND PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE LYING SHADOWS THAT DO NOT REPRESENT A TRUE LIKENESS OF WHO I AM IN CHRIST. I’m not sure how to go about it but I know keeping my eyes on Jesus and asking him to keep revealing to me the way He sees me is a start… To keep asking him to shine His light in all my darkness… Another thing is to meditate on what He has already said in the bible about me and what He has already spoken and revealed to me about myself… Also I can see my picking up my guitar and singing to Him and singing the bible will be a great tool… If all else fails, I can call a friend who can help turn the light on. Hopefully you all could understand what I was saying here… (2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.) So the summed up word for today from Papa-God is "Dont fear they are merely shadows & they have no power unless we give them some. Shadows lie they don't give a exact representation of what they are shadowing. They are not our mirrors only Christ is. We are made in His image. God is the one who formed us in our mothers womb and had envisioned and set into place who we would be. The Devil comes to lie, steal and destroy the works of God. We are who God says we are, not what the Devil has convinced us of and not what we have become thru our shortcomings. Wuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

(Update One)The next day I went to class and I was struck with what Doug said..."To walk in the spirit you have to know what your flesh is really like. I don't know what my flesh is like until I know Christ more"... So after hearing him say that I realized that just because I notice these shadowy things doesn't mean I haven't been growing and doing good, it doesn't mean I am backsliding when I notice them, not at all. The fact is I am knowing Christ more and therefore seeing the shadowy things in my flesh. WHAT GOD HAS OPENED MY EYES TO NOW IS THE BATTLEGROUND. I am happy He already fought the battle and gave me His victory and everything I need to get thru all my battles is in Him. When those thoughts or feelings come am I going to give them any time or am I going to quickly look to God and cry out to Him to flood me with His presence and His truth that He has already been revealing in me? Before I didn't know where the battleground was and therefore was being taking out a lot, now as God keeps bringing to my attention those moments when I need to cast down vain imaginations, well now I have a fighting chance!!!

(Update Two)Wow, it is true. I was just reading this and I was like I would of never discerned any of the lies if I never had known some truth. Thankyou Father for leading me into all truth. I'm talking about the kind of truth that is revealed/uncovered inside of me by being in His Presence and in His word. Thank you Jesus for setting me free with your love and truth!!!!!! I'm not just talking about memorizing scriptures but the truth itself coming alive in me. I realized now after I wrote that statement about finally finding the battleground, I read a book many years ago called "The Battlefield of the Mind"... And I am sure it is talking about this same stuff, but it didn't help me cuz one cant just memorize scriptures and repel the enemy. One has to believe the scriptures/words, and to believe the words you have to know and believe in the word and Christ Jesus The Living Word has to come alive inside of us and bring all things to life thru His resurrection life!!!!! Wuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!! I read that book years ago "The Battlefield of the Mind"and tried to memorize scriptures and do what the lady said in the book but it failed and did not help me cuz I was doing it in my flesh. Another example of why expecting to Grow in Christ and Become Like Him and Do The Things He Does And Fulfill Our Callings can not come simply from following someone’s teachings or going to seminary. Being like Jesus can’t be merely taught, cuz the bible says when we see Him we will be as He is in this world. We need to know Him…Not imitate a teacher or preacher and try to do this stuff in our flesh…Only His Spirit and By Living From Our Spirit and not from our flesh is the only Way to let Jesus flow out of us. (Ha,Ha, Doug I think your preaching just came out of my mouth, it must of gotten in finally...What goes in must come out.)

JESUS- Beautiful Lover

Here's the words...

I don't know how I got here but I'm in over my head. This river is on fire, it's consuming m...y every desire. There's no escaping your love. Oh, there's raging fire in your eyes declaring that you must have all of me. Oh my Lord counts me worthy of His love. Beautiful Lover x2 Oh you tasted of death for me that I could have all of your love. Flashes of fire, burning desire, consuming me in the raging waterfalls. Lacey Woida 9-25-9

Reign In Me

The Son is setting in my heart and joy is rolling in like clouds covering me in such a thick haze of your love. / Father I want to gaze into your very eyes. / Would you pour out your love and let it reign in me. / Because there has been such a heavy drought in my life and I have been left all hard and broken. / Father I open the door of my heart to you. / Don't stop pouring out your love over me, let it soak in and settle into the deepest parts, until I'm overflowing with joy in your presence. / Ooooh my heart is about to bloom. / Love come near and let it bloom. / L.M.W.

I have set my love upon your love. / In your name will I trust for your love it never fails. / I lay myself down to sleep in the secret place of the Most High. / I will lie down and not be afraid of the terror by night. / Yes, I will lie down in peace and my sleep will be sweet in Jesus name. / For you alone Oh Lord make me dwell in safety and you have given your angels charge over me. / When I awake I will say the Lord has sustained me. / For I have cried to the Lord and He has heard me and given His beloved sleep. / You Oh Lord are a shield for me, my glory and the one who lifts my head. / I have set my love upon your love. / In your name will I trust for your love it never fails. / L.M.W.

(Psalm 91, Psalm 3:3-6, Psalm 4:8, Proverbs 3:24, Psalm 127:2)

Come My Child (Song)

I once was living in the dark; reaching out my hands trying to grasp the invisible. / You were never far from me; always holding out your hand and singing over me. //...Come my child let us reason together; though your sins be as scarlet I can make them white as snow...// One day I bumped into you and you took a hold of my heart; now I'm trying to grasp hold of your hand. / Again I am reaching to grasp the invisible. / These are preappointed times. / You've been waiting on us for so long. / I pray love has it's way and leads us on. / You have never stopped singing over us. / I wanna reach out and take hold of your heart; before you cry out time no more and shut the door to your heart forever. / Your patience means salvation. / Time is drawing to an end. / Until that final day you will keep singing over us. //...Come my child let us reason together; though your sins be as scarlet I can make them white as snow...//



(Acts 17:23-31...for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”)

Not the best pic! We have company over and there sleeping and I wanted to play my guitar. So I went into the garage and got into the back seat of the car and shut the door so i wouldn't wake anybody up. The car light quickly faded and then the garage light faded and turned off and I was left alone in the dark. So I couldn't worship looking at my songs I had written. I tried singing new ones and it wasn't coming for me tonight and if I did get words I had to write them in the dark with my flashlight. I turned my flashlight off and decided to just play my guitar in the dark and sing in tongues. Then I just put my guitar down and prayed in tongues. It was a fun adventure. Had to laugh at myself if this is what God has to do to get me to pray in tongues more!!!!!
