But the MSM probably isn’t reporting how this law abiding citizen used their 2nd amendment right to save tons of lives though, right?

The elite’s days are numbered.
Yahweh sees everything they have done, everything they are doing, and everything they are planning to do and it will all result in a boomerang that destroys them! Let their old system crash and burn, for new life will come from the ashes along with the verdict against those who oppress Yahweh’s people! 🙏

“There are two kinds of people headed toward poverty: those who exploit the poor and those who bribe the rich.”
Proverbs 22:16 TPT

“Never oppress the poor or pass laws with the motive of crushing the weak. For the Lord will rise to plead their case and humiliate the one who humiliates the poor.”
Proverbs 22:22-23 TPT

“The benevolent man leaves an inheritance that endures to his children’s children, but the wealth of the wicked is treasured up for the righteous. The lovers of God will live a long life and get to enjoy their wealth, but the ungodly will suddenly perish.”
Proverbs 13:22-23 TPT

Looking forward to seeing y’all on Sunday! 😊

I did not sleep most of the night. When I tried to, I had recurring dreams of cucumber plants sprouting up from the ground. Strange, I know!

But I have learned that when situations like this happen, the Holy Spirit is trying to show me something. And like a kid who stands over your bedside in the middle of the night until you help them with whatever they need, the Lord is no different! He will continue to bug you until you wake up and listen. 😂

So I got up and asked Him what He wanted me to know about cucumbers. New life? Growth? fruit? Sounds good! Not exactly.

Turning to noscripture, cucumbers speak of turning back to the world, to the pleasures of Egypt. They speak of a city besieged. (Numbers 11:5, Isaiah 1:8)

New growth can be a good thing. But if it is unwanted fruit, it is not!

As most of you know, my family has been battling a stomach virus for two weeks now. And when you are sick, there is a lot of down time. I am very careful about what I watch and read and listen to, because I know these are doorways to the soul. To watch or read or listen to entertainment is not the issue. But getting into a habit of zoning out and watching and reading and listening to something that takes the place of quiet time with Jesus can cause our minds to wander off into another direction. And we may not even realize it!

I have sat with Jesus over the past two weeks. I have things I want to share with y’all but have looked like death most days due to loss of fluids and energy, so those things have yet to be shared.

But with all of this forced rest time, I have been tempted to escape into another world through books and TV again. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’d know that escapism is something I have battled my entire life. When I’d get too tired, I would turn to fiction and would resurface days or weeks later, struggling to re-enter the real world. I hadn’t read a fiction book in almost two years, but as of a few days ago, I had finished two in two days and was already beginning a third. For me, this was gluttony.

Enter the cucumber dreams and our Good Shepherd’s rod and staff which comfort us.

God is jealous for His people. For our attention, our time, and our affection. He is incredibly patient, never pushy or controlling. He simply pursues us with everything in Him, expecting nothing in return.

But if and when we do choose Him, as with any Bridegroom, He plans to be with us forever. But our own carnal minds, which are in a constant state of sanctification, can lead us astray if we don’t keep our eyes on Him.

A blatant attack from an enemy will cause us to fight back. But what about the subtle lure of an angel of light? An enemy in disguise? These are the most dangerous types of enemy. The kind that will leave us broken, wondering where on earth we went wrong.

“As you listen to me, my beloved child, you will grow in wisdom and your heart will be drawn into understanding, which will empower you to make right decisions. Don’t live in the excesses of drunkenness or gluttony, or waste your life away by partying all the time, because drunkards and gluttons sleep their lives away and end up broke!”
Proverbs 23:19-21 TPT

Drunkenness, gluttony, and partying are only surface level issues that the Bible warns us to be careful of. A glass of wine and/or a nap are not the problem here. The issue is not being sober minded: awake and aware that our enemy lurks like a roaming lion looking for who he can devour. It is casting our gaze at another for a moment too long, and ending up in covenant with someone or something we never would have had we been sober minded.

“Stay far away from prostitutes and you’ll stay far away from the pit of destruction. For sleeping with a promiscuous woman is like falling into a trap that you’ll never be able to escape! Like a robber hiding in the shadows she’s waiting to claim another victim— another husband unfaithful to his wife.”
Proverbs 23:27-28 TPT

A prostitute or a promiscuous woman can be symbolic of something that looks good, sounds good, but will ultimate lead to destruction.

It is compromise, which begins with something as small as a thought, even though we know it would not lead to life. It begins with an excuse, a justification, and/or our “right” to meet a need/want with something other than Jesus. It is not usually something that is planned out, “It just…happened.”

Whatever your vice, remember to submit it daily to King Jesus. Discipline yourself ahead of time so that self-control is available when needed. Be on guard before the temptation comes. Know exactly how you will respond when that angel of light comes knocking and urges you to compromise, just a little. Familiar spirits do not rest, they simply wait for us to want to rest in something other than the arms of Jesus.

Practical application:

Write down which areas you feel you are lacking in right now and ask God to renew your endurance to overcome. Ask Him to give you rest as you take up His yoke and burden which are easy and light. Ask Him to make you aware of any areas you have been contemplating compromise and to give you specific noscriptures to fight those temptations when they arise.

Remember, rest is not the issue; it is whom/what we choose to rest in.

Rest in Jesus, if you do, He will never put you to shame; unlike compromise, which will leave you broken and full of regret.

Have a blessed weekend, friends!

Correction: I forgot I read a Christian fiction novel (Redeeming Love) which was a spin on the biblical story of Hosea and Gomer. I hadn’t read a secular fiction book in two years. :)

C’mon Jesus!!! 🎉🙌🏻🎉

This will ultimately result in their own demise. The LORD said “The dragon and the bear will not prevail.” Let the old die so that the new can come swiftly!

I hope this encourages you!
