We have a good dvd of the Revival in Thermopolis for anyone who wants it! Love, Ceci
To do good and communicate forget not, for with such sacrifices God is Well Pleased!!! Hide not thyself from thine own flesh!
Rachel was here 2 days ago reading about the HABITS of anger and bitterness. The chapter PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, (when we practice bad attitudes which come from Satan, anger, sadness, fainting, unbelief, etc, WE CAN BECOME PERFECTED IN A WRONG SPIRIT! .......... It’s all about the practice, habit...... Of anger and unforgiveness, the PRACTICE, HABIT, of being hard hearted and how Satan drives weak women crazy with their willingness to PRACTICE THEIR BAD HABITS.
We watched a really powerful testimony by a man named Milton Green. He is the one who confronted James Robison about his lust. He had a 9th grade education, but HIS BELLY WAS FILLED WITH GOD’S WORD! HE WAS A LIVING ORACLE OF THE WORKS AND WORDS OF GOD. He made such a clear sound about the works of the devil in his life, he got understanding and God’s word flowed from him, the words God gave him that HEALED HIM And he was an open book, a willing vessel who spared no pride in telling the whole truth about his past and the WONDEROUS THINGS GOD HAD DONE FOR HIM! Made the hairs on all our arms stand up, and some people were crying as the watched him. I called his wife, he’s gone to be with Jesus, and I really understood why I can’t handle people IMAGING EVIL AGAINST THE LORD. I have 0 tolerance for it, it just about killed me and I know it’s deadly for others who don’t take their thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ!
Has your past has always traveled with you due to hardening your heart against the Holy Ghost? Against Him and Him alone have you sinned and done evil in His sight, just by holding the truth in an unrighteous spirit... Always having a “wrong” spirit for the most part but unwilling to cry out to the Lord Ps. 51, that’s how I changed. Have you have been willing to consent with the thief in all the little things you think, do and say, and you have been unwilling to bust him (the liar), but your attempts to cover him with your works is filthy rags. Wow are some of us really seeing a religious strife spirit...... That’s the opposite of hearing God’s voice and obeying. The self righteous always persecute the hearers and doers.....they are 2 opposite kingdoms.
This woman Jerrrie knows, Jackie was telling me about a book called Exquisite Agony......... It’s about how relationships with people either destroy us or build us up, make us holy, get us closer to Jesus or remove us from Him by how we respond. A woman I know recently said “I don't know if I can be redeemed, but I have hope of it every now and again.” IT’S SUCH A STRONG INDITMENT AGAINST THE LORD....... She has been slandering the Jesus you say you believe in for all these years, and taking it very lightly. It’s like weighing 500 lbs. and the only way you will change is to YEILD to the right Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and that’s hard BECAUSE YOU HAVE PRACTICED ignoring His precious Holy Spirit.....grieving, denying and resisting Him. It’s become a habit.... Habits take a strong desire to please God more than ourselves to break, your double minded faith has gotten you no where, and you can’t declare the goodness of God for all the things He has done, you can only glorify Satan. (sad to say I have met Christians all over the country in this shape.) They are trying to purge their conscience through self righteous works, they don’t have the “blood of Jesus” to wash their evil conscience, and they aren’t good at listening to God in their conscience and obeying. All the people in my life over the years have been my portion to set me free, and rejecting them would have meant rejecting God’s operation. We should let God’s word get carved in our heart so we stop sinning against Him and His people. Most of the women can’t make a clear sound about the operation of God or the devil in their past. And they have “confusion” as the portion because of it. They don’t stop carrying their old baggage into each new day.
I was thinking of Matt. 5 last night as I went to sleep.............. Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (cursed are the haughty, theirs is not the kingdom of heaven) 4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. (Cursed are those who don’t mourn over what they have done to God or His people, they are comfortless) 5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. (Cursed are the proud, they lose even what they gain) 6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. (cursed are those who don’t hunger and thirst for righteousness, they are never satisfied.) 7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. (cursed are the merciless, they don’t experience mercy) 8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. (Cursed are those who aren’t pure in heart THEY ARE BLIND TO GOD AND HIS WORKS AND WAYS) 9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. (CURSED are those who don’t live to help others have peace with God, they live like the sons of the father of lies.) 10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (cursed are those who make their own happiness their idol, they won’t suffer for anything) but have a life of self induced suffering
I know some women whose hands have been refusing to touch things ever since I have known them and it’s catching up to them and will only get harder to “touch” things the more they avoid it. I was thinking of many things some of them have hardened their heart to over the years..... Regarding lying vanities like (it’s the Lords fault for their sorrows) and they have forsaken your own mercy. Some women are habitually the martyr, they live a life of strife and self will, filled with devilish wisdom, not the wisdom from above, and no one can bail you out, but repenting to God, and believing He can wash your evil conscience. You may be mad that you haven’t gotten what you wanted...... But maybe you have been getting what you have wanted all along....... “your food”, that has not been to do God’s will. And it gets harder to stop eating the food that’s killing you the longer you “eat” it. You are “eating” the fruit of your own ways, and your the only one that can choose to stop slandering God in your thoughts, that’s the motive of whining, complaining, fainting, self pity........ IT’S GIVING ALL HONOR PRAISE AND GLORY TO SATAN, and it’s been worth your while to live that way........ But there is a pay day, we don’t fight against God and win, none of us. It matters not how much I love you but if you glory in rebellion I can’t stop you from rebelling against the HOLY SPIRIT, who has come to comfort, lead, guide, counsel..... Help you walk in the light and truth! , I have never been able to stop anyone, and there comes a time when strife and works don’t cut it anymore, trying to COVER UP your rebellion. I had to get mad at the right guy, (the deceiver and accuser of Jesus) And not be willing to be the devils puppet just through failing to “fight” or show up for the game, the accuser of our brother Jesus wins through our “default”. If you have chosen poorly, your the only one who can choose wisdom, understanding and knowledge. No one can choose it for you. I was just thinking about those who die without instruction or understanding.......... THEY NEVER RECEIVED THE “LOVE” OF THE TRUTH. It’s very costly.......... And any time you decide to believe on the one SENT, the Holy One, and realize as you do it TO THE LEAST, YOU DO IT TO HIM, and stop slandering and being in agreement with the accuser of the brethren, all heaven will rejoice, so will we.

Practice makes perfect. Practice having a merry and thankful heart. I have known people who, though they did not have a natural knack for music, started piano lessons and practiced every day. After two or three years, their fingers moved across the keys easily and their music sounded sweeter and more fluid every time I heard them. If you ask them, "How do you know to hit all those notes?" They answer, "Practice, I've practiced so much, I don't think about it. It just happens". Life is like that. Most people have practiced hitting the notes of bitterness, sourness, hurt feelings, and frustration so long that their soul finds the discordant notes easily, almost without thought. But, you don't have to keep on practicing discord: you can practice joy and thanksgiving just as easily, and certainly with more pleasure. Every day, every right response makes the fingers of your soul the notes of joy and thanksgiving easier and easier, until it is so natural that people will say to you, " I am not like you,: I just don't have a bubbly personality. I'm not a happy person. How can I have joy?" And you will be able to tell them, "Practice makes perfect." Learn to enjoy life. BE THANKFUL. SMILE. When you catch yourself becoming irritated or disturbed at circumstances, stop and laugh at the little things the steal your peace. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS and learn to be appreciative. My daughter once wrote a song around the words, "Thanksgiving is good; thanks-living is better." Colossians 3:15 advises, 'AND LET THE PEACE OF GOD RULE IN YOUR HEARTS,TO THE WHICH ALSO YE ARE CALLED IN ONE BODY;AND BE YE THANKFUL."
PRACTICE MAKES 'AWFUL' PERFECTLY AWFUL By the time many women are in their fortieth year, they are teetering on the edge of mental instability. They have spent several years of their life irritated at their husbands, daily feeling hurt and responding with coldness and bitterness. Instead of practicing being thankful and merry, they are practicing bitterness. As practice enables the pianist to find the right keys without effort or thought, so a woman who practices discontentment will, without thought, hit the notes of bitterness when her chain is pulled. Practicing, always practicing, perfecting her bitterness and discontentment.
She has practiced her bitterness until it comes naturally, and she does not even recognize it. She will usually define herself as one who stands against pride and evil. She will "do what is right, even if no one else will."
In the course of time, as her edginess and moodiness grow, she realizes that she can no longer control her nervousness. One day her "nerves" snap and she loses control, screaming like a crazy woman and calling loved ones terrible names. She will say it was "just a bad hormone day," but the family will wonder. The family learns to tolerate her occasional blow-ups, and she keeps practicing. After a trip to the doctor, she is calmer..."more her old self." The doctor changed the medication.
"Mom sleeps more now."
"Shh! Don't wake Mother; she is having a bad day."
The disturbed woman expects her family to appease her and is offended when they act like life is just fine. God is visiting her soul with a terrible rot called madness. First, she is only mad at her husband. Years pass and she is mad at her family. As time goes on she is mad at the church. Then she is mad at the mailman and mad at the waitress. PRACTICING, ALWAYS PRACTICING, PRACTICING HER MADNESS. MAD, ALL THE TIME MAD. MADNESS.
"THE LORD SHALL SMITE THEE WITH MADNESS,AND BLINDNESS AND ASTONISHMENT OF HEART" (DEUTERONOMY 28:28)
'THE BEGINNING OF THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH IS FOOLISHNESS; AND THE END OF HIS TALK IS MISCHIEVOUS MADNESS" (ECCLESIASTES 10:13)
You know what our idea of a miracle is????? THAT GOD TAKES OUR PROBLEMS AWAY....... you know what God's idea of a miracle is????? THAT OUR PROBLEMS DON'T BOTHER US, AND WE CAN YET PRAISE HIM ANYWAY!!!
