Steered Back To God

Hebrews 4:15 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁵For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.

My Testimony

I am child abuse survivor. I have many testimonies of what God has delivered me from. When I was a child I was raped, abused, I would go to school with bruises on my body, someone in my family tried something, and I was made fun of for incest.

When I was younger I used to listen to bad music to make my self feel better. Music about sex, and other things.

I just wanted a mental escape from what I had been through.

I didn’t want a relationship with God… because my family were “Christians” so I wanted nothing to do with him.

But certain music opens portals to fantasy..

Because Of My Abuse

I tried to find love in boys, boyfriends, in money, and other things and I ended up with nothing in the end. Honestly, my walk with God is not easy. Every day I try to figure how to just be ok.

This is hard, because when you are anointed people get jealous.. so it doesn’t matter what happened to you in their eyes they just want to hurt you.

In times like these you have to give it all to God.

This is not to be paranoid, or put you in a ungodly isolation but to steer you to the Father.

Psalms 20:7 says,

⁷Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

NIV

Sometimes When God Closes A DOOR

It is purely to protect you… You may not see it right now… but soon very soon God is going to show you. The closed door was a shield from false prophets who would have preyed on your emotions, abusive spiritual mothers who are really Jezebel, and he shielded you from jealous friends who would have hurt you beyond repair.

In these wilderness seasons… God is calling for prayer. Turn off your phone, get silent, and get in HIS presence…

If the Holy Spirit releases you to let go of that abusive boyfriend… Then let him go…

If God tells you its time to find a different church home.. then be obedient

If God says let go of idols, such as spiritual parents then let it go…

Or if you are in a abusive marriage , please listen to God… let it go.

Should Christian’s Be Doing Reality TV shows ?

The Truth

I dont like Oprah and this is why.

It seems that if someone shows up preaching quite another Jesus than we preached—different spirit, different message—you put up with him quite nicely. But if you put up with these big-shot “apostles,” why can’t you put up with simple me? I’m as good as they are. It’s true that I don’t have their voice, haven’t mastered that smooth eloquence that impresses you so much. But when I do open my mouth, I at least know what I’m talking about. We haven’t kept anything back. We let you in on everything. I wonder, did I make a bad mistake in proclaiming God’s Message to you without asking for something in return, serving you free of charge so that you wouldn’t be inconvenienced by me? It turns out that the other churches paid my way so that you could have a free ride. Not once during the time I lived among you did anyone have to lift a finger to help me out. My needs were always supplied by the believers from Macedonia province. I was careful never to be a burden to you, and I never will be, you can count on it. With Christ as my witness, it’s a point of honor with me, and I’m not going to keep it quiet just to protect you from what the neighbors will think. It’s not that I don’t love you; God knows I do. I’m just trying to keep things open and honest between us. And I’m not changing my position on this. I’d die before taking your money. I’m giving nobody grounds for lumping me in with those money-grubbing “preachers,” vaunting themselves as something special. They’re a sorry bunch—pseudo-apostles, lying preachers, crooked workers—posing as Christ’s agents but sham to the core. And no wonder! Satan does it all the time, dressing up as a beautiful angel of light. So it shouldn’t surprise us when his servants masquerade as servants of God. But they’re not getting by with anything. They’ll pay for it in the end.

The Authentic Is Coming

When you look at ministry there is something that is just not present in this day and hour … and that is the annoiting to be “authentic”.

When you are truly chosen by God , you dont have to buy instagram followers and facebook likes to be chosen… because GOD opens the door that no man can close (Revelation 3).

This is not a conspiracy. Despite what people think Oprah is not chosen by God. That is a trap. I see her soon doing more television shows about the church and christian love that are messy and full of drama . What does the Bible say?

Delightfully loved friends, don’t trust every spirit, but carefully examine what they say to determine if they are of God, because many false prophets have mingled into the world. Here’s the test for those with the genuine Spirit of God: they will confess Jesus as the Christ who has come in the flesh. Everyone who does not acknowledge that Jesus is from God has the spirit of antichrist, which you heard was coming and is already active in the world. Little children, you can be certain that you belong to God and have conquered them, for the One who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world. They belong to this world and they articulate the spirit of this world, and the world listens to them.
1 John 4:1‭-‬5 TPT
https://bible.com/bible/1849/1jn.4.1-5.TPT

The root of this is Christian’s do not know who they are. We have a very toxic spirit of low self-esteem … We dont talk about this often so it’s just sitting there dormant waiting for the right time to be exposed. Sometimes it takes a painful experience to learn a lesson from God.

But as for Oprah. In the time to come she may think that what she is about to do will prosper but GOD has the final say.

Redeemed

Isaiah 53:5 New Living Translation (NLT)

⁵But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.

In life we take so many things for granted. You don’t realize how blessed you are to be married until you are divorced because you abused your spouse. You don’t realize how fortunate you are to have a home until you are homeless. You don’t realize the value of Biblical stewardship until you have lost all your money. You don’t realize so many things until you lose everything….

Psalm 68:5-6 The Message (MSG)

^5-6Father of orphans,
    champion of widows,
        is God in his holy house.
God makes homes for the homeless,
    leads prisoners to freedom,
        but leaves rebels to rot in hell.

*****

I think about Gomer, Hosea’s wife.. How she chased another man instead of staying with her husband. She left her life and stability because she wanted someone else.. The things of the world… and then after she was destroyed finally her Hosea… her husband came.

If you ever watch the movie Amazing Love, it will give you a understanding of marriage. Of Love. This woman ……. Gomer, a beautiful woman left her family for another man. One day, she didn’t want to dance… she didn’t want to engage in her new boyfriend’s festivities … and what did he do? He removed her from his presence.. All her pretty clothes? Gone. All her beauty? Now destroyed.

And to make matters worst… She is exposed in front of everyone.. and she sits there in bondage.. dirty and destroyed while people are making bets on her and mocking her.. Gomer… This beautiful woman now destroyed… and then…. Hosea comes… and even though she left him and even though she looks dirty with rags on… He picks her and takes her. That’s love.

My Testimony

I grew up in the church, yet I was so abused as a child. Sexually abused, mentally, physically, and emotionally… I was the Vice President of the Choir lead praise and worship and went to the wilderness… Then I started working again , had a good job as debt collector had another job working at Macy’s but left God.. and went to stripping and prostitution. I had a little boyfriend and one day I decided I didn’t want to dance anymore. I stopped going to the strip club and he just left me…

I am Gomer. I remember when I had everything… When I had money, when I had all that I could want and I left God… and lost everything… As I travel through life, waiting and wondering God when…. God why… God how… when are you going to do it? When are you going to deliver me… God when.. please God … please… when. I think of Gomer

Beaten, bruised, and dirty… yet redeemed.

Hosea 3 New Living Translation (NLT)

Hosea’s Wife Is Redeemed

3 Then the Lord said to me, “Go and love your wife again, even though she^[a] commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the Lord still loves Israel, even though the people have turned to other gods and love to worship them.^[b]”

²So I bought her back for fifteen pieces of silver^[c] and five bushels of barley and a measure of wine.^[d] ³Then I said to her, “You must live in my house for many days and stop your prostitution. During this time, you will not have sexual relations with anyone, not even with me.^[e]”

⁴This shows that Israel will go a long time without a king or prince, and without sacrifices, sacred pillars, priests,^[f] or even idols! ⁵But afterward the people will return and devote themselves to the Lord their God and to David’s descendant, their king.^[g] In the last days, they will tremble in awe of the Lord and of his goodness.

As I walk by faith and not by sight… Through the darkest valley… I pray . Sometimes that’s all you can do is pray. We take grace to far. We think we can do everything we want to do without natural consequences…. My consequence was losing everything the pretty clothes, my beauty, my success, my friends… but yet I will not despise the chastening of the LORD.

So today when you listen to stupid city girls and cardi b and they talk about prostitution, don’t be deceived.

Daily Bread Devotion : His Word Is Real

Boaz married Ruth. She became his wife. Boaz slept with her. By God ’s gracious gift she conceived and had a son.
Ruth 4:13 MSG
https://bible.com/bible/97/rut.4.13.MSG

*****

As a woman I believe that we need to push past men bashing… The truth is you need to accept that you made your own mistakes and you need to repent. Marriage is not a bad thing… it’s not evil. But marriage is a Covenant of honor, love, and a work that represents the love God has for us . If you desire to be married ask God to teach you to cherish your future spouse. He is not weak because He is a prophet. He is not corny because He only wants to listen to worship music. And He isn’t lame because He wants to wear suits and nice shoes , instead of having his pants sagging like a fool. I mean the Bible even tells us what we should wear.

And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels. Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out. And don’t forget to pray for me. Pray that I’ll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out. Tychicus, my good friend here, will tell you what I’m doing and how things are going with me. He is certainly a dependable servant of the Master! I’ve sent him not only to tell you about us but to cheer you on in your faith. Good-bye, friends. Love mixed with faith be yours from God the Father and from the Master, Jesus Christ. Pure grace and nothing but grace be with all who love our Master, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 6:10‭-‬24 MSG
https://bible.com/bible/97/eph.6.10-24.MSG

Let God deal with your character and dont take every moment you can to bash a man or another woman. Let God heal you from cursing and learn the power of HONOR.

Get into worship… Listen below . I mean literally every church I go to keeps playing this song !

But God, Trust God, and Go !

Goodnight Devotion: The Return

Jeremiah 3:11-15 New Living Translation (NLT)

Hope for Wayward Israel

¹¹Then the Lord said to me, “Even faithless Israel is less guilty than treacherous Judah! ¹²Therefore, go and give this message to Israel.^[a] This is what the Lord says:

“O Israel, my faithless people,
    come home to me again,
for I am merciful.
    I will not be angry with you forever.
¹³Only acknowledge your guilt.
    Admit that you rebelled against the Lord your God
and committed adultery against him
    by worshiping idols under every green tree.
Confess that you refused to listen to my voice.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

¹⁴“Return home, you wayward children,”
    says the Lord,
    “for I am your master.
I will bring you back to the land of Israel^[b]—
    one from this town and two from that family—
    from wherever you are scattered.
¹⁵And I will give you shepherds after my own heart,
    who will guide you with knowledge and understanding.

The Power Of Repentance

There are times in life that we make very bad decisions like the prodigal son. We have to understand that when we repent (Matthew 4:17, 2 Samuel 12:13-14) we put ourselves in the position to receive the mercies of David. Harden not your heart (Hebrews 4:7) and go back to your first love.

Prayer

Dear Lord Heavenly Father,

Help me to see that Your way is the best way… help me to have humility and to return like the prodigal son. Help me to trust You according to Proverbs 3:5-6. Help me to have a sound mind and I pray against fantasies but I accept my God reality. This too shall pass and You are the only one that can bring me through this. Help me God. Amen.

Have a Good night…

Love Diamond ❤
