“Please, Do Not Enter!”

“The enemy is the biggest fence builder that there ever was..and he does this in our lives through offenses..and we all get offended..and we all have been offended..whether the offense was intentional or not either way it happened or will happen..and usually what happens after the offense is that we as protectors begin to put up walls to protect ourselves..and if we’re not careful every time someone does something towards us we grab another piece of that imaginary wood and begin to build that fence bigger and bigger until what’s left is nothing more than us being surrounded by that imaginary fence that we’ve built for ourselves and our lives in our own minds..Amen..so when we get to this place we kind of back away from others..and we get to the place as to where we trust no one..Amen..we think people always have an ulterior motive for what they do..Amen..but let me say that God does not want us to live our lives that way..because He didn’t live His that way..Amen..and if we build fences then we block ourselves from receiving the gifts that God has for us that come from other people..or from us reaching out and being able to bless someone else..Amen..for not everyone is going to hurt us..and not everyone is bad in our lives..so we must tear down those walls that we’ve built..we must live our lives not afraid of being Jesus’ hands and feet..because yes we will get hurt and people will say and do things..because none of us are perfect..only Christ..Psalm 37:37-40..Amen..but we let go of the offenses that come..and we give them to the Lord..we don’t keep placing barriers up in our lives..because we get to live when the barriers are taken down..Amen..and in it all we get something beautiful in our lives..because the enemy wants us to forget the good that others have do..Amen..and he wants us to solely focus on the wrong..Amen..but what does God tell us in His word..He tells us to forgive and forget..we are to forgive seventy times seven..Matthew 18:21-22..and that’s a whole lot of times..Amen!”

“But just imagine if Jesus didn’t forgive us..and daily forgive us for our shortcomings and them things we do in our lives that we haven’t been all that proud of..Amen..so we must not build walls around our lives..to where we block everyone..because it can happen to us..we will place up so many barriers and so many walls that if not careful will get to the end of our lives and never honestly to goodness will we have lived our lives to the fullest..Amen..and if we are in any type of relationship then we will be hurt from time to time and we will be offended..but if we love..1 Corinthians 13:13..we get over that offense..we get over that hurt..and we forgive and move on..because once again people are just people..we all need Jesus..and we all need each other in this thing that we all call life..so don’t hold on to past hurts..or pains that have come your way..because your not hurting anyone else other than yourself..and your not helping anyone else by doing so because the only thing your doing is building up that wall..and building up that tall fence that never should have been built and never should stay there in your life..so begin today by tearing it down..asking for the Lord to help you to do so..and if the enemy tries to bring up those past hurts, pains and offenses you shake them off and you move on..don’t pick them back up..consider them poison..consider it the most harmful and hurtful thing that you can ever do in your life..and step away from them..and everyone of them at it’s best..and keep moving on..live free..remain free..and free from it all..especially those offenses..Amen..for it is in 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 ❤️
