“I wonder how we get separated from the Lord?..I wonder what happens in our lives that take us down another pathway?..Amen..my sister Judy had sent me this beautiful message last night..and pretty much it was simply saying this..and that was do you remember when you first started out with Jesus?..do you remember how excited you were?..how you were so thrilled about life..about your life..about what God was doing in your life..everything..Amen..you were this ray of sunshine..full of God’s goodness..and full of Gods joy..Amen..and again..we all know that the word says that in Gods presence there is fullness of joy and at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore..Psalm 16:11..Amen!”

“So maybe it’s the fact that we somehow we get used to the Lord and His presence..I don’t know really..but somehow Gods children..we end up straying away without God..and God doesn’t leave us..we leave Him..and maybe it’s simply on our parts of not even knowing..or it could be that we are misusing God’s grace and His mercy..or it could be that we just take it all for granted..Amen..but anyways the message my sister sent continues on and it says I wonder what would happen in our lives if we could find that old time gospel basement church meeting..Amen..I wonder if we could take our minds and hearts back to the beginning to where it all started?..and I wonder if there we would be so filled and so full with Gods anointing and His power that we would be refreshed..and renewed to what we used to be for Jesus..you know sons and daughters on fire for Him more so than anything in this world..we craved God and all of who He is..Amen!”

“We stood by our convictions..we wasn’t swayed from what we believe in..we wanted to keep our robes all white and pure..we wanted to be that sweet smelling fragrance going up into the nostrils of our Lord and Savior..as we came to Him that we were pleasing to Him..it wasn’t just a daily forgive me for I have sinned..it was just being there in His presence..because we chose the right ways..we didn’t stray from what we knew is right..we didn’t just have this I’ll do whatever I want attitude..but we truly had a fear of the Lord in our lives..because we loved Him and not saying we don’t love the Lord now..but when you love you don’t want to hurt the ones you love..especially Jesus..Amen..so I wonder today if today we could be that on fire filled up holy ghost child of God that we are to be?..I wonder if we could truly smell with a sweet fragrance to our Lord?..I wonder if we would and could just let go of the world..and honestly crave what God desires from us to be for Him..because you see to be used and used greatly it is denying self..and it is being about our Fathers business..not about ours..but about His..sharing the gift of ministry that God has placed on you and your life..being the best version of you that you can truly be..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
