“Poison or Power?” Blog #88
Where is the biggest thing I am afraid of right now?
What is keeping me from finding my “highest potential?
How can I go forward when I am so filled with fearful thought?
Above all today, I must know there are Angels everywhere around me, always.
I remember a while back when I heard a powerful speech about “Duty”. The biggest
problem with Duty, I was told, is duty appears to be restrictive, old fashioned and silly.
However, ONLY “Duty” can make a person strong, reliable and thriving. When I make
myself P U S H through all the “I don’t want to because….”, and eliminate all the objections,
and try to do something different today, I am now willing to lift the veil of fear. It is only
then that I begin to see the light on the horizon. What can possibly be more important
than “daily doing the right thing?” ABSOLUTELY NOTHING more important.
I know I need to, I have to, I must find MY place IN a house of God. Angels are there.
IT IS ONLY THERE I CAN BEGIN TO FIND BALANCE, IN TOTAL SILENCE WITHIN ME. IF I look at my
Sunday and I give every reason in the world NOT to attend a church. I should sit myself
down, then write all my justifiable reasons while talking to HIM. Tell HIM out loud, “Why I do
not feel any need to attend the house of HIS domain. Explain in detail my other, more
important, choices for Sunday activity?” Angels are watching.
We do not begin to understand the importance of finding a deeper self in the house of
GOD”. IF I choose not to talk with HIM and recognize the angels are with us indubitably,
then I push and shove and throw away truth. Now, why is that?
FOR I promise you IF you choose to open your eyes to the possibility of knowing angels
and MY Guardian Angel are with ME every moment of every day, then and only then,
poison cannot permeate my inner being. Powerful light moves throughout me. Your life,
just like my life, will change in ways that are absolutely amazing!
Quite a while ago I learned how to find out who my own guardian angel is, and at the end
of my blog today, I will remind you how to find yours. I heard a beautiful story awhile back
in a book I purchased titled “Entertaining Angels”, by Anne Neilson. She shared a
powerful story about going to work at a Food Shelf for homeless people and volunteering.
People came from all parts of the city to donate coats and warm clothing for families and
children who had nothing. People wanted to make sure that when the homeless arrived,
there would be warm clothes, especially an overcoat and a toy for each child. They
called Jimmy Johns and had sandwiches sliced into thirds so everyone could get
something to eat. When the volunteer woman arrived and began working, she noticed a
particularly young woman with four little children waiting in line. This young woman
waited and waited, telling her little children to be patient. At the end, when the volunteer
went to leave, there was an icy rain outside and there she saw the young woman from
inside. Now she also noticed the sad young woman was also pregnant. There she stood
waiting, trying to find a ride. Her four small children were crying because the line had
been too long and they ran out of clothes and toys. So the voluteer walked up to the
young woman and offered to give her a ride home. While they were driving, the young
woman was very emotional. She shared her story of living in fear of someone who she did
not know how to leave. As the volunteer continued driving and listening, she internally
decided to make an important stop. “We are going to Walmart”, she told the young
mother, “you can pick out a warm winter coat and one toy for each child.” The young
mother was also given new underwear and pajamas. In the car, she had continued to
share her tragic story with the volunteer. The horrific chaos, feeling trapped and not
knowing how to get out. As they walked into the store, the volunteer shared, “God and his
angels are always watching. Events are placed in our lives to help us “see clearly”. If I
can surrender to God, trust in his plan for me, HE will show me the way out!
The young mom suddenly got a call from someone who said: “your boyfriend, who you
have been living with, has just been found fatally shot”. Ironically, there was an Off-Duty
policeman who happened to be at Walmart. The volunteer asked if that policeman could
find out more details. They did and told the young, pregnant, woman NOT to go anywhere
near the apt. It was now suddenly swarming with police. It was time now for her to move
on. This was finally the young mothers chance to get away, start over and be safe. A
temporary hotel for a week to start, was found immediately. Now the moment to sort out
what to do next was here. This young mother was encouraged to contact her own family
who she had been estranged from for a long time. She had been living with her children
in uncertain danger. Finally faced with forgiveness, future optimism, and safety, this lovely
young pregnant mother saw hope. Angels came out of nowhere to be there for her.
Angels are all around us.
Truth lies in believing in divine intervention, I know that I do. Many years back, when I was
lost, living in fear and darkness, I had given up. Still, I put my hands together and said,
“Dear Lord,…..I can’t do it any more, please help me”. I promise you this, Angels
swooped down. My heart felt lighter. My room was lit up in sunlight.
AND…… I believed. Not for a single moment will I ever abandon my faith in Jesus Christ.
Even though my own cherished mother, was brutally beaten and killed. My disturbed
broken brother put in an institution never to be free again and die there. Then recently
my beloved, beautiful eldest daughter found dead of alcohol and drug addiction, in a
hotel room. All these horrific deaths blistering, beyond understanding. Events that could
normally cripple the strongest convert. Still I choose HIS light, not darkness.
I choose never to feel alone. I never feel abandoned, and I do not give up.
For I see the poison trying to take my power, by worldly promises of falsehoods.
Understanding it is the knowing HE is there for me, every minute of each day. Just
knowing this, makes all the difference. I now challenge YOU to find YOUR strength amidst
YOUR darkness. Remove the poison of a false life of lies. Knowing nothing can harm you if
you do not allow it. Replace all empty, dark energy, with powerful Jesus Christ energy.
With this in mind, how can we not see God in every single moment?
IF you choose to want to find the name of your own Guardian Angel tonight: Simply lay
down at the end of the evening in quiet, peaceful repose. Now ask internally, thankfully
and knowingly,
“What is the name of my own Guardian Angel?”
