A thought before bed: Today I went to the grocery store with my girls. And as I was waiting to have my grocery bill reduced becuz there was a sale *buy bread get 0.55 cent off a gal of milk*, which the sale isn't the point I am trying to make. The point I want to make is that there was a man standing in line in front of me. He approached the counter, and now he was standing next to me. He stood there jittery with a brown bag from another store in his hand, and a receipt from walmart, as he was standing in the line at Kroger. The receipt was old and worn, and did not match how new the packages looked inside the bag. And instantly I knew what was happening. The man looked at the clerk, and said that he wanted to return the items becuz his grandmother had died. And shortly after he said that his phone rung with someone one on the other line helping him win over the clerk. And as I stood there I began to pray for him. As I was praying I wanted so bad to have a fifty dollar bill on me, so that I could sow a seed into his life.....but as I was standing there instantly so many things became clear to me.
The word of God teaches us that we do not war against flesh and blood. And that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. So, this being the infallible truth of God, how do we then take a natural substance rather it be Meth, Weed, Crack, or any other kind of substance and place it into a flesh and blood body, and affect it? How can we take these things and cause such as difference in the flesh and blood body that God said that we do not war against? Okay, I got it! The Almighty God sent Jesus not to save the flesh and blood. He sent him to save our souls. And according to scripture our soul is not made of flesh and blood. The soul is our mind, will, emotions, and our intellect. Which is what we can see physically through the flesh and blood....Got it!
If you don't understand what I am saying, recall the last time that you looked at yourself in the mirror. Or for that matter go look at yourself right now in a mirror..and as you are holding the mirror up to your face or standing in front of it. Try not to move. As you are standing still you are getting a good look at your flesh and blood. But, take a few seconds, and smile into the mirror, or laugh. Try fake crying....and then answer this question while you are still looking, if I had to dial one number who would it be? And as you answered this question take another look in the same mirror because everything that you did moving was your soul, and everything affected by you moving was your flesh and blood. And Jesus came to save the part of you causing all the movement. He came to save your soul, because your flesh and blood only obeys what Your soul tells it to. So, getting back to the main point; when you take any substance into your body that God didn't say was good. You are not or the man that was in the store is not taking those substances because your flesh and blood wanted to....He took it or You took it because your soul made you do it. And this is why I wanted to have a fifty dollar bill on me.
And so I wanted to sow a seed, so that the Almighty God would do with my seed, as He did with His. He sent Jesus to save our soul, not our flesh. And because I was created in the image and likeness of God, (I could never be Him, and nor do I want to be). But, I can act just like Him. I can sow a seed to cause any change that I want to happen in some one's life for the good. Because afterall I am His child!! Goodnight, and God's blessings be with us until the return of Our Christ Jesus. EBH
