Today on my walk I was thinking about God’s training school
on how to speak properly to others in a helpful and edifying
way. While I am thinking about proper communications, a
lady and her 2 dogs are coming towards me. I moved to the
other side of the street and kept walking. I smiled at her
when she approached and she said, “My dogs are friendly but
they might bark.” At that point the little one raised up on
her hind legs against the leash and opened her mouth to
start barking but nothing came out. At the same time she
lunged I smiled huge and said, “Oh she is darling!” I felt
that my joyous response to the little doggie shut her mouth
immediately and so she didn’t bark. We both kept going in
opposite directions and behind me I heard the lady tell the
little doggie, “Wow you did great that time! Good boy!”
Sometimes people push our buttons (or our trigger points of
past wounds or trauma) and it sets us off and we bark! I am
immediately reminded that if God gave us the power of the
gospels that we are longing for, we would all end up burnt
toast. Yes Lord, please help us!
TRIGGER POINT TRAUMAS AND TRAFFIC JAMS 5/26/13
Precious ones, I understand how hard it is when you have
suffered extreme pressure or trauma from storms in your
past. These tend to stay below ground, hidden until you get
in close proximity to something that triggers a memory of
that time in your life. You wince and pull back and find
yourself facing old emotions that are painful. When you are
not yet healed of such, it can cause you to be frozen in
time and stuck in old emotional patterns.
When this happens, give that pattern to Me and ask Me to
heal you. Often it is a simple matter of rebooting, just
like your computer. Sometimes your circuitry gets
overloaded with too much “stuff” and you need to dump the
weight of old memories into My lap and then click reset.
Dear heart, you are a brand new person now. Repentance set
you free, repentance changed you and now you walk in a new
pair of shoes. Keep treading and keep the enemy’s attempts
to hinder your progress under your feet. Those old snakes
are dead meat. Who is more than a conqueror? Through My
love for you, YOU ARE.
Ro
8:33-39 Who shall lay anything to the
charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. 34 Who is
he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that
is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who
also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us
from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36
As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day
long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay,
in all these things we are more than conquerors through him
that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor
depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us
from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
