”So this morning I grabbed me a banana 🍌 and as I was trying to peel it..it just sorta broke in half..and when it did it was completely rotten on the inside..Amen..and needless to say I was very disappointed about it..but in that moment the Lord began speaking to me..Amen..and I thought visual perspective..Amen..because with my eyes that fruit looked delicious on the outside..Amen..but on the inside that was not the case at all..Amen..and isn’t that pretty much what we do in all areas of our lives..we look with our eyes at people..and we think well they look pretty good..their healthy..their happy..they’re whole..they really have it going on if you will..Amen..and I wonder how that is a very scary place that we all as a society has placed ourselves in..Amen..because of tv..magazines..all of the billboards..all of the perfect people if you will..they have the beautiful hair..the gorgeous smile..the perfect outfits and look so fit and healthy..Amen..and so pretty much our visual perspective falls there..into that category of looking with our eyes at the outward man that is before us and assuming that all else is well..Amen!”

”Oh but guys..I pray that each of us are more concerned with our inward man that lives in us..Amen..that person if you will that no one else sees or knows about but only you and God..that person if you will that usually from time to time will tell someone in a joking manner..boy if only you could see what I am thinking..Amen..because this is the thing..we all wanna have that most glamorous beautiful filled life..we all want the perfect everything..the happiness..the joy..the peace..the contentment..all of that..but what we don’t want is the struggle..or the cutting away if you that has to take place to get us to that place in our lives..(John 15:2-6)..that place where the inward man is lining up with that outward man..those so called secrets or those things that we think are buried way down deep..or shoved way back in the closets of our lives or swept 🧹 under the rug is dealt with..Amen..because things don’t go away..people will say things such as if I could go here or move there..or if I had more money..or if only my bills were paid off..then my life would be fantastic..and completely amazing..Amen!”

”But again that is the furthest from the truth..so you wanna change your life?..you wanna truly be a great friend?..you wanna live in contentment?..you wanna be drama free?..then stop everything and take a look at your inward man?..take a look at your thought life?..take a look at the fruit of your life?..(Galatians 5:16-26)..take a look at your attitude?..take a look at how you speak?..Amen..again if we are out there some where in left field..then there is a huge problem..because God is more concerned with our hearts and that inward man of ours..(1 Samuel 16:7)..because that inward man is the one that lives on forever..and if we’re not right then nothing else really matters..it’s like running against the wind..always struggling..always finding yourself in a mess..always being discontented..never being satisfied..and why?..because of our hearts..our inside man that lives with us every single day of our lives..and you know what each of us know all too well if we are a rotten banana if you will..because when we get cracked open from time to time that rotten fruit comes spilling out from us..and usually it’s really bad when it happens..Amen!”

“And most of the time it takes people by surprise..right..like oh my goodness I can’t believe he or she did that..I can’t believe they acted that way..I can’t believe they said those things..right?!..well again it’s because it’s in them..it’s never been prayed about or dealt with..so it just springs up from time to time..and when it does..that is all of our opportunity to immediately take caution and be aware and start taking the needed steps to get rid of that bad fruit..just as they say it’s one bad apple 🍎 in the basket that will spoil all of the other fruit that is in there..so don’t let bad fruit linger in you..take time to heal..take time to renew..and take time to deal with it..because you will never get rid of it without first completely removing it..Amen..for we can think it’s gone by hiding it..but all things that are hidden can always be found..Amen..so be cleaned all up on the inside of your life..be washed and clean by Jesus and His blood and His power and His anointing..for the inward man that’s the goal and should be the goal for each of us and our lives..if only we focused more there and put as much time into that inward man as we do our outward one..can you imagine how beautiful our souls..our hearts..our minds..and our lives would truly be?!..Amen..so be whole and be complete from the top of your head to the soles of your feet..👣 Amen!”

”For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen & 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 ❤️
