“doing nothing on your own.. &His will?” Means More and more and more spirit in front leading the way.. each step. and Harold pushed far,, far far, waaaayy way back.😂 Not there yet, but definitely where I want to be and working toward it. Psalm 143 : 8-10

Do I live out of my own will.. more often then I would prefer.. the answer is still yes. There are occasions where I do work hard at ignoring/killing my own desire and adamantly look for either His will or nothing at all.. but again these are more moments and not lifestyle yet.. But, here lately He has been removing even more tastes and preferences for certain simple comforts.. I already did not watch a lot of television but now it’s like when I do.. I cannot find anything to choose because it does not satisfy the way he can.. or even doing certain”regular “ activities for fun or down time.. it’s just not the same. And this pushes me to desire more of Him, His word, His thoughts, because what I am looking for, is really only found in Him.

(Late reply 🤦🏾‍♂️)... but Amen Sis Steph! Psalm 46 simply says He is our refuge.. and strength. Refugees flee from something harmful, dangerous, and life threatening... in order to find safety, stability and comfort somewhere else. Without these hardships, there would be nothing that drives us to the only one who truly provides such an amazingly powerful covering and sense of safety that we could never access on our own! And this process generates a different type of praise and gratitude!🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Our*.. but could be out too! Lol

Clean out Hearts lord!!

Thanks for sharing BB! That’s amazing🙌🏾🙌🏾 And I agree completely in how this dedication to just a little bit of word each day or week has definitely been a blessing and is helping all of us get to a better, More intimate place with God as individuals and a group. I catch these moments every now and again also... a passage that has been recited and heard for years, but hits a lil different now.

Thank you for this. Will pass it along!

Sheeeeesh!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾AMAZING!. God is Awesome!

Agree with @Teasha & @kamilahcable .. don’t push it buddy! Lol! The NIV uses “Be Careful” for take heed.. so being cautious cuz that could lead to danger ahead ⚠️

Lol.. I guess I conveniently overlooked these two key points in the message..🤣 So my (possibly our) conviction is sometimes choosing not be wise/playing ignorant (based on the understanding that we DO have by now) and choosing not to love/receive or even be mindful of His love in certain situations ...🤔 But will definitely try to keep this formula in mind moving forward. Wisdom + Love = Endurance Thank you for reiteration. This helps.

🤔 Hmmmm .. so for me I would say yeah. First week: How anointing works, Faith is being fully persuaded... Second week: trusting with DIVERSE Trials/Temptations & Self Check and accountability on moving forward or going backwards.. no in between. All great lessons and concepts within the word given on both Sundays.. For me I guess I am anticipating more on how to deal with the struggles while they are taking place.. This is all great while in a decent place, but when these attacks come or we are forced to truly WAIT.. (and don’t want to wait) what are our methods and weapons to stay the course. Or does it all simply come back to that decision, that choice of yes. Yes I will follow, I will trust, I will wait no matter what it looks like?

Great word on Sunday. A lot of meat! .. really enjoyed the breakdown of how anointing really works! Which is a term so heavily used in church.

Thank you for being open to even sharing BB!!

👀😃Amen!

Thank you sooo much for this Teasha. Your transparency is a blessing and a help to all of us. I think we have all experienced and increase of God and also an increase in satan as well. Which I have been taking as more confirmation that we are along the right path in seeking God in a deeper way. I thank God that you did get the understanding you need and have decided to pick back up and finish. I also can relate with realizing that there is so much more to learn and understand from God... but at the same time, I believe everything you admitted about your current knowledge of Him is everything you/we need to access and obtain the deeper things in Him. This was encouraging Teasha, we love you and thank you for sharing!
