[Hedz Up!] Puzzle It Out

Don’t settle for muddling your way through your options and decisions. Instead devise a strategy to sort out the pieces and allow the Lord to create the bigger picture.

You may not see the final image until after the pieces have fallen into place.

God wants to speak clearly to you. Give Him the opportunity.

Remember He speaks in many ways; don’t assume it will be the ways He has spoken in the past.

This is an opportunity, not a crisis.

You’re On Track, Keep Going.

[Hedz Up!] Rejoice and Choose

Some are having trouble making decisions at this time, even after having spent appropriate time waiting for God’s direction. Confusion is not only from the stress of trying to hear His voice, but from our enemies: the world system, your flesh and the devil.

When you can’t determine a specific direction from the Lord, Rejoice and Choose.

Set aside a time in which you will make your decision. Spend a few minutes expressing gratitude to Him and for Him. Then pick a direction. Follow up with a few minutes to let the Lord speak. Then commit.

Remember, you can always change your direction later; God is not concerned about you making the ‘right’ choice, but about depending on Him for direction. Do the above and you’ve done just that.

Rejoice and Choose.

The Evil Reign ['It's About Time,' cont.]

There are enough speculations regarding what the next age will look like; Bible versions, entire denominations, fictionalized book series and movies have attempted to render fully what God has only revealed to the minutest degree. Much of what we believe today about the nature of hell, heaven, angels and devils was derived from literature written in previous centuries, especially Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy: The Inferno, Paradise, and Purgatory, written in the early 1300s. But we can conclude to at least some degree that the life God has made available to us today will be tested in one way or another here on this earth. We must be overcoming the Reign of Evil in our own lives before we can overcome it in the Earth. Otherwise God would simply save us — give us His life, make us His sons — and take us to be with Him.

[Hedz Up!] “Perfection” Not Required

God knows the difficult times you’re going through. He’s not withholding help based on how well you are handling this stress, or how well you have performed in the past.

In fact, He’s not withholding His help at all.

You deserve His help because He loves you and is by Nature a Giving, Helping Person.

Ask specifically, wait for a response, and get through this. There will be plenty of time to evaluate your beliefs and actions as you emerge, perhaps slowly, out of these particular difficulties.

You don’t need to qualify for His help.

Daddy Loves You Now.

[Hedz Up!] Take Care of Yourself

Make your Self a priority in developing new habits. Get over the idea that God is pleased when we disregard the needs of our body and our soul. Tend to each, as necessary, and you will be prepared and ready to rise to any occasion God sends you to.

Keep yourself well, so you don’t have to tell God, “I can’t, because I have this physical illness,” or “First would you please heal this wound in my soul.”

Just as you tend to the brakes in your car so they will be ready when you need them, tend to your body and soul so they will be ready when you need them as well.

God Loves Your Body And Soul; Learn To Do The Same.

Habitually.

[Hedz Up!] Start Over

Time is neither your friend nor your enemy. As a spirit being, you can Start Over any time you choose. On this first day of a new month, notice your thinking in regard to the past month or your future, whether positive or negative. Both reflect the natural realm — As a spirit being, you will have to give up your markers, as comforting as they may be, in order to live eternally now.

Time is merely a Resource.

“Lord, teach me to live in control of time.”
