“So as we’re driving this morning in Houston to get unloaded..I am looking out the window in the back of the truck at all of these homes that are covered in barbed wire..and heavy fencing..that are locked up all around them..I am assuming the community that they are in is a bad one..the area didn’t look all that bad..but evidently it was and it is..Amen..but again I think Lord that would be very sad to live that way..always wondering if someone were to break in your home..and never just to be free to have your home open..and not be locked up all around you on every corner of your home..but either they have no other choice but to live that way..or either they have just become used to living that way in their lives..and so they never really think about it..they have just adapted to the way things are..Amen..but again isn’t that like most..they are used to the way they are..mentally and spiritually..even if they are in bondage they just have adapted to it..so they stay there in the mess..in the prison of their lives..all the while just used to it..never to be free..never to be able to live and laugh and love and truly enjoy this life that God has given..because they have grown accustomed to it..so they live in the cell..a prison cell in the walls of their own homes..Amen..and that is so sad to say the least..Amen..but to be a child of God and to be in bondage and in prison is even more sad..because Jesus is there..to help you to overcome whatever prison that the enemy has placed and tried to place on you and your life and your home in which you live..Amen..because the Lord sets us free..He came that we all would have a life and a life of abundance..John 10:10..Amen..sure we must do our parts while here..and make good decisions and choices to live life well..but God gives us the wisdom to do so..He gives us family and friends to help..He gives us His word..and He gives us fellowship and communion with Him and whenever it is that we want it..Amen!”

“But to live bound and to stay that way all of your life..is a terrible thing to do..because we do have a heavenly Father that is everything in life that we need or will ever need..Amen..we just have to ask of Him..and He will help us..and free us..for He is good and all the time He is good..Praise the Lord..so we keep the watchful eye over our homes..over our lives..over our families..Amen..we as the word says put on the armor of God and daily so..that we may stand against the enemy..Ephesians 6″10-18..Amen..for it says that if the goodman of the home would had known that his home was gonna be broken into..he would’ve stayed awake..Matthew 24:43/Luke 12:39..Amen..so stay alert for the adversary as of a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour..1 Peter 5:8..Amen..don’t let your life be broken up or stolen from you..for God gives us life..for He is the giver of life..and of freedom..and of peace..He is there with you..so be wise..be smart..and be awake..and stay awake..because if we let our guard down..then he takes little by little by little..as they say you give him an inch and he will take a mile..and the thing is we grow used to the taking and we never see it until one day it is all gone..the joy..the happiness..the love..the fellowship..the community..the life that we once lived..all gone and nothing more than a heart of brokenness..and a life in a prison cell that we let the enemy take away from us..both spiritually and mentally..Amen..so daily keep your eyes open..and fight for your life and your freedom that God died that we all could live and that we all could have..it is a gift from our Father..so stay prayed up and stay filled up with the Lord..and keep on His armor and His protection as the word says let him who stole steal no more from you and your life..Ephesians 4:28..Amen..for whom the Son sets free..is free indeed..John 8:36..and we are free..and we are sons and daughters of the most High God..and Jesus is His name..Amen..so live well..and be well..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 ❤
