7 Days Confined (Numbers 12:13-15)
Miriam spoke against God’s Anointed Moses, (Numbers 12:1-12). In God’s anger He reprimanded and chastised Miriam. Moses cried to God to heal Miriam. God replied if her father spit in her face would she not have to go through the disgrace? Confine her out of camp for 7 days then bring her back.
7 falls (Proverbs 24:16)
Seven times the just fall, and is raised again. One does not reach any heights unless you’re coming from a low place. There’s a universal balance that instructs us to appreciate goodness. To acknowledge and uphold the good, however, one must first experience the bad. It’s the path that human nature has chosen since Adam and Eve in listening to the evil one after God had already given the direction to Not eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. We have therefore fallen into the death of the Knowledge of good and evil battle that constantly broil within each being. Still, God, in His immense compassion toward us, set plans for our restoration to return to Him. We have reached rock bottom but not to remain there. Rather, to remember that God plans for us to prosper and looks to raise us even after our great fall. So wobble not in sin, don’t remain hiding in a corner licking your wounds too long (so to speak) after having received blows that came to destroy you. Just as the saying goes “while your head has not been chopped off, hope to wear a hat,” so also one should keep hope alive in God who has not brought you this far to leave you. Yes, you’ve had a great fall, oh,Chosen One, but get up, dust yourself off, and look to rise above the fall. Lesson learned? Now go forth and prosper for God’s glory!

WHISPERED REFLECTION
WHISPERED REFLECTION
This was just whispered into my spirit, “even the worst so-called enemy has at least once been a teacher!” Meaning, whether the source is listed or not, identified or not, categorized or not, recognized or not, understood or not, accepted or not; at some point in life, that source has been used to project a lesson that might’ve gone unlearned if not imposed. All of us have sources that we would rather not receive advice, help, or instruction from. However, God being who He is will take it upon Himself to use whatever sources He sees fit to bring knees to fold, to crush arrogance, to suppress stubbornness, to heal ignorance, to mold His own-then, a lesson is taught. After which, the source will pay for having been made available to be used in such a fashion toward or against God’s child. This is purely an example of God using foolish things to confuse the wise. That’s why it’s important to never feel yourself too wise in your own eyes because no matter how much of the answers you’ve gathered from your prolonged research, there still will remain undiscovered truths. Because you see, the Ultimate Truth resides ONLY in HE who has been, is, and forever will be Himself! He who gave us the Word that became flesh to walk among us speaks His Truth in us constantly, a whisper of Himself He bestows within our spirit. That small portion is often so mind-blowing to us that from such we often are blessed enough to write songs, poetry, story, books, filled libraries, making history, shaking worlds, rising new eras of Ages. All of which comes from a single whisper of God’s person through Christ whom we know as the Word, Way, Truth, and Life. We live in the Whisper of His Reflection!

LIFE’S BITTERSWEET LESSONS
A MEDITATIVE FOCUS
CONQUERING MIND/BRAIN DULLNESS
Brethren, always make it a habit to live and grow in Faith. It’s needed for your well-being but also because you never know who will need to rely on your own faith to see them through a tight situation. This also is a life of service to God. Remember when Jesus was in the boat sleeping while the storm was raging, his disciples woke him saying “Master care you not that we perish,” Mark 4:37-41! He didn’t linger but acted quickly then reprimanded them saying, “O ye of little faith!” (Matthew 8:26, Luke 8:25). It’s not that they were incapable of speaking to their storm but that they lacked faith. Being so, they needed to rely on Jesus faith even when they were well equipped to act.
Too often on our journey we come across situations where no one needs to move in our favor for the miracle to take place because we have built in power to take us there and further, but we let life instances stifle, choke, suppress our faith capacity. We have built in power and authority to say PEACE, THE LORD REBUKE YOU, STOP, BE HEALED, AWAY FROM ME, NO, GET UP AND WALK, GET THEE HENCE, BE QUIET or BE STILL, (etc…) because Jesus promised greater works we will do; but first we must apply into our own lives what we’ve been instructed in faith. Do not let the enemy of your soul drag you into an incapacitated, debilitated, vegetated state of mind. That dullness of the mind is how he has destroyed many believers, leave him no room for access! When God’s word said, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, God had You in mind as well when releasing that word and it won’t return to Him void until it’s done that which it was set out to do. God’s blessed word is the ornaments of your life so color yourself faithfully beautiful and handsome! Be not fooled!
As a man thinks in his heart so is he says God’s word in proverbs 23:7, it’s high time to command your mind to take you to that higher level where God envision you to be. The complete version of you await your arrival, don’t let yourself down! Tame the heart of your brain to fall into place. When you want to fall into temptation you give yourself a million and one reasons why it’s just and they’re all lies concocted by the darkness within trying to oppress you until you succumb. That ability you have to talk yourself down, it’s time to reverse it into raising yourself up to reach a nirvana of the brain, where the excess negativism is quenched making room for Godly purpose in all faith. So now the old power you used to degrade and destroy yourself, convert that into fuel to build yourself up and shame the devil. This has been one of his fears, of you succeeding, achieving, reaching beyond the capacity of your knowledge to trust God, time to serve him his just deserve! Take that leap of faith and land exactly where God has envisioned your completeness. The Plenitude of Faithful You Awaits, but it must start in the heart of your mind! Say YES to God’s Faith In You Through Christ Jesus!

The Fools and The Wise
Fools speak foolishly and sees themselves wise and boast at their own eyes. Wise ones speak cautiously yet never giving a hint that they could actually be wiser than they seem. The wise are most often rejected over fools. That doesn’t make fools better or wiser. Under one sky we find them both and they make up this life. Live and learn.
