Honoring him by bowing deeply, his face touching the ground [1 kings 1]

Recently I have been realizing the ways in which God speaks to me, about me. He speaks to me through people- conversations with them, little things they may tell me, their interactions, their stories…he also speaks to me through pictures, things I might see on the street, while driving by something, or through a word…. He speaks to me by meaning of words…using different languages…through my discernment and compassion… and through my many dreams. I heard that if your gift is discernment, then you need to be very cautious about what you watch on tv, what you let into your mind and heart. Recently, I have not been cautious about any of these. Here is what has been happening… instead of having dreams which give me directions for life, I have dreams that are hurting me. My dreams rather than being of praise for God, have become a set of bad desires and images, that stay with me throughout the day making me feel discouraged, are heavy on my mind, give me headaches, and tear my heart apart. They confuse me… how did this happen? First it started with viewing inappropriate for God’s people images on TV, then by not feeding my soul with his word on daily basis, and by lacking in fellowship with his people and worship. Thankfully, God gave me a friend who can say a holy word of praise and the process of restoring my heart and mind can begin in one moment. But it will not last, if I don’t take the step to shout praises myself. Getting back into the things that are of God seems to be hard, but it only takes one time to do it, and chances are that your heart will be reminded of the good days and will long for more the next day. Our spirits know what is good for us, where we come from and where we belong…it doesn’t take much for them to be restored, especially when your mind is willing. Our bodies are only aware of the physical pleasures of this world, such as the great taste of food, physical satisfaction and feelings of hurt or happiness. Our spirits need not the body to be connected with God… by definition they are with God, as they are of God…unless you did everything possible to deny the love of God and turned your face to darkness.

I encourage you to take the time and think about the simple daily ways in which God communicates with you…is it by words, through the outdoors, dance, worship or people? Is it through something that you do, or something that you observe? Then make sure it will continue to take place in your life… don’t break that bond God put between you and him… it is that bond that will create miracles in your life and those around you… it is special bond created with love, for you and him… like a perfect romance…others will learn from you and it will make them desire God more… The fact that my friend’s words can restore me, is nothing else, but her right romance with God, which he created between them. We all must protect that bond...God will protect us always, but it is our responsibility to set physical boundaries from the physical poison around us, because it is us who live in the physical. What is that bond for you? In all of this, it is important not to forget about the universal bread he has given all humankind to relate to him: his word, communion, and fellowship with him and then with others.

Our gifts are like fruits… it takes a small seed to grow something very great…the fruit may sometimes appear beautiful and create a deception for itself and others, while it is slowly rotting inside- remember what happened to my gift of dreams- they began to rotten and spread that disease into my mind and heart- the seed of my being…once the seed it is dead, the fruit will die also…it is too easy for a good fruit to become a bad one… allow God to take care of yours…allow him to nourish you…he gave you the vine and the bread…now keep on taking it and be well. Feeding your spirit is essential to your wellbeing throughout each day…your music….images… words…all partake in forming who you will be tomorrow… choose wisely… learn from me… God will be faithful with you, as he is with me…


ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους, ὅτι ἡ ἀγάπη ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν
- we love one another….because love out of God is-
