“I think about our plate in the life..considering our inside man in which lives and breathes and moves in us daily..and makes us do the same..but I think about how the Lord daily gives us a plate of food to feast upon..(Psalms 23:5)..Amen..and daily we all can come and sit down with that plate of food and gather up all the nourishment that we need for this day that has been given..Amen..but so many never take a sit at the table with the Lord to gather up their nourishment that they need..Amen..we just always seem to go on our own strength in life..or never take time to be still and sit quietly to ask the Lord for the help it is that we need until the weight of it all comes crashing in on you and then you kinda lose it all there in the midst of it all..Amen..but this morning I just thought what is the one thing that the enemy keeps coming along and stealing off from your plate in life?..or should I say trying to steal away off from your plate in life?..Amen..can you imagine getting your food and going to sit down and someone would come along and take your plate from you..or you would turn around and look back and your plate of food would be gone?..Amen..because for me I would probably get a little hasty..because I love my food to say the least..just as we all do..that is our time where we can enjoy our moment and enjoy the pleasure of a nice meal..Amen..but I think the same with us..that daily we get our plate and can get our plate from the Lord..but what is the one thing that keeps stealing that plate away..or stealing something from your plate that you keep wrestling with in your life?..because we know that God promises to give us everything it is that we need for the day that we’ve been given..Amen!”

“But again we all have that one thing that we are at a constant that somehow the enemy keeps playing that one thing over and over again and again in your mind..to where at times you feel like your losing your mind so to speak..Amen..and I just want us all to answer that question?..what is the thing that is getting your goat?..that is driving you crazy?..that is making you question your life and your choices?..what is it that the enemy keeps trying to steal away from you?..and he isn’t coming in one way he is coming in all directions?..Amen..so this is the thing..God our Father is not the God or the Author of confusion..but much rather He is the God of peace..(1 Corinthians 14:33)…Hallelujah..and secondly the Lord promises that daily He alone loads us up with every good and perfect gift..(Psalms 68:19)…so when the enemy comes bringing that same ole one thing to you and your mind..what is it that we as God’s children must do?..well, first we go by truth and what we know is truth from the word of the Lord..because that is what we build our lives on..Praise the Lord..again if we don’t talk back and fight back by the word of God and by our prayer time alone with Jesus..because how many of you know that is how we fight our battles..because nothing happens to us that God doesn’t already know..so whatever the Lord is trying to teach us I pray we all get it whatever it may be..and we do what we know we need to be doing..Amen!”

“Because if we don’t know within ourselves that God loves us..that God is for us..that God is not against us..that we are His and He alone is ours..and that He works it all together for our good..then we will keep grabbing that same ole bait..that same ole one thing that the enemy keeps coming along stealing off from our plates of life..Amen..for we go by truth..and we go by what we know is truth..always..we don’t go by our mindsets..we don’t go by how we feel..but we go by truth..Amen..by knowing what we know is truth..Amen..for I had read yesterday that when you isolate yourself in your own mind and in your own home..then your mind will become like a ping pong table..and that little ball starts bouncing off from every area of it..they say that when your mind gets to wandering off somewhere that is a dangerous place to get..and to be at..so we must get up in one away or another and get busy doing something in our lives..no matter what that something is..because the enemies goal is to steal..kill and to destroy us..(John 10:10)..Amen..he can’t take our salvation..but boy he can take our happiness..our peace..our freedoms in life..our families..our friends..our self worth..even our personalities..Amen!”

“So I just want us all to pay attention to our lives..and go where we’re celebrated in life..go where we have have a true blue friend in life..go where our happiness is..Amen..I always say follow the happiness..follow the joy..follow the peace..follow how others are making you feel..Amen..for me that is with my husband..Amen..and for him that is with me in his life..Amen..we are truly best friends in life..Amen..for there is no greater joy..happiness or peace for us both then when we are with one another..Amen..so we both have to fight for that in our lives..we both have to keep each other and make each other first place in our lives..well, the Lord is first in our lives..but then each other..for the bible says that it is not good for man to be alone..and that we are each others helpmates in life..(Genesis 2:18)..Amen..for I can’t do what Erik can..and he can’t do what I can..but togather that is the most beautiful place for us both in life..so I am gonna say this again whatever your one thing is in your life..you better fight for it..Amen..and you better throw off everyhting else..that is trying to distract you..to pull you away..to make you second guess..that is speaking lies into your mind..Amen..and you better cast it away from you and stand up on the truth..Praise the Lord..for you know God wants us to be happy in life..He says I have come that you would have life and have it more abundant..Amen..so follow your happiness..get away from the drama..be thankful for what you have..and move on to the next stage and season of life..for our lives are at a constant change..but when following the Lord..those changes are most perfect..Amen..so guard that one thing in your life..don’t believe the lies of the enemy..don’t let him steal anything off from your plate in life that Jesus has given to you..and only to you and into your hands..Praise the Lord..so again let him who stole steal no more from you and your life..(Ephesians 4:28)..for Jesus loves you and I ever so much..and His plan and His ways are the most perfect and most beautiful glorious way..(Psalms 18:30-32)..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 ❤️
