“Take care of your mind!”

“So yesterday evening Anthony and I went to see the older Star Wars 2005 Episode 111 Revenge of the Sith..and I have never seen any of them before..Amen..so as I am watching I am trying to figure out who is who in the movie..and placing it together..it got me thinking so much about our own lives..and our own choices and our own decisions it is that we make every day of our lives and at how it effects us..so in this movie there is this guy called Anakin Skywalker..and I am going to parapharse here..but he is on the good team of life..and with the good guys..Amen..but his wife Padme’ becomes pregnant with their child..and so Skywalker has a terrible dream that his wife is going to die during child birth..so it begins to effect him..for the reason that when he was younger he had this same dream about his mom and she had died in which case she did pass away..so fear was upon him and it slowly began to overtake him..so there as well was this supposed to be a good guy named Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and he had become very evil and wicked..so Skywalker was confused between the good guys and the bad guys..and he begin to question everything about his team that he was on..and he begin to get overtaken by it..so this Chancellor tells Skywalker that if you just come on my side then I will spare your wife Padme’ and she will be protected and she will not die..Amen..so Skywalker does just that..he bows down to the wicked evil Chancellor..all for the fact of thinking he was going to save his wife and children..Amen..but needless to say this Skywalker was such a great guy..huge heart..and loved his family and friends..Amen..but he begin to distrust and he begin to question..and in all of this he began letting go of all of his beliefs..and gave way to the evil side of it all and was filled with much hate and anger and he just stepped over in that moment to the evil side of life..and it was a sad thing indeed..and Skywalker became the evil Darth Vader..Amen!”

“So as we were leaving my heart was totally broken over this guy and his life and his wife for she had given up because she knew that Skywalker had turned evil and had stepped over into the dark side of life..and so her life was not spared she died and lost hope on the delivery table for she loved him with all of her heart..and her heart and her oneness with him was lost in the moment and day as she found out that he was not the same man in whom she had married..Amen..so Anthony begins to tell more about the first episode and as well the second one..filling me on the story of it all..but I told him I would truly be sad if I had watched the first ones then this one..because in that moment I say spiritually speaking here society does this..we second guess the Lord..we get swayed away from our beliefs..we compromise..we do things and act ways following our loved ones and friends..choosing no more than to fit in..and sooner or later the person in whom we were begins to fall away..and as well we get the evil eye so to speak..kinda like Judas..as he handed over the Lord Jesus for just a little bit of money..(Matthew 26:15)..Amen..but in doing so it is a very scary place to place ourselves..because evil and the dark side is real..and we do change..and we can change..by daily choices it is that we make..when we start letting go of convictions..and start acting like the old man that should be dead and gone and start talking like the old man..Amen..and start not caring..and start placing the what about me at the center of life..instead of Christ and what He desires and wants..then we are on shakey ground and we are in a place that we never wanna be..because getting away from evil and darkness..that is a hard thing guys..and I pray that none of us forget the dark side of life that we once was on..and I pray that none of us is dabbling around in the dark evil side of life..because it is powerful and very much wicked indeed and it is not a game..Amen!”

“So my heart and my power is that we are following Jesus..Amen..that daily we stay the course and stay the pathway..holding fast to our covictions that God our Father has given to each of us..and yes some may do this or that..but it isn’t about looking around at another persons life and saying well they get to do it..so why can’t I..this is what its about..it is about hearing Jesus speak to you and letting you know what is right and wrong..and then you listening to it..Amen..it isn’t about saying like a child well they get to do it..why can’t I..because let me say this when you get there then you begin as well questioning everything that God has already spoken..and He says these things to us because He loves us and He is protecting us..from the evil dark side of life..Amen..for not everyone is on the same level of life..and not everyone is called to walk the same pathway we all are growing and changing..and we all are on a mission from the Lord..so I pray with all that is within me that we are baring fruit in our lives..and not just merely prancing around with a bunch of leaves..for the scripture says having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof..from such turn away..(2 Timothy 3:5)..Amen..so please be careful in your life and what you are doing..and if the spirit of God is convicting you and your heart and letting you know don’t do this or that..or don’t go there..then by all means be obedient..and hear and listen immediately..and above all else guard your heart and guard your mind..for everything flows from them..(Proverbs 4:7/Proverbs 4:23)..Amen..for it all starts in our minds..and we as humans act out what we are thinking on and dwelling on..so be careful I pray..because evil is present..and it is doing no more than trying to steal and kill and to destroy us and the work that God our Father has for us..(John 10:10)..so pay attention..and be on guard..and stay focused..don’t get distracted once again by the distractions for you and I are on a mission from the throne room of God..and God has a great plan and purpose for each of us and our lives..so stay close to the Father and you mighty warrior keep on your Armor of God..and daily so keep it on..for we are in a battle..for the bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against rulers evil and wickedness in high places..(Ephesians 6:11-18)..Amen..so stand your ground and stand with Jesus..and His will..and His purpose and His plan for you and your life..for He died that we would have a great life and a life filled to the overflow with much abundance of joy..peace..happiness and love..so know who you are and know just whom it is that you serve..for we serve the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and Jesus Christ is His name..for He alone is ALL powerful..and He alone is head over it ALL..Hallelujah!”

“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 ❤️
