5. Toss the TV 9.30.19

5. Want to hear the one about me giving up Chick fil a? No, good because I don’t either.
Ashley giving up chick fil a, speaking craziness, what is this?! I don’t even know, but I bet it means our time is almost up.
By this point I have been having a complete loss of appetite. It’s been days now since any real substance but I’ve been trying to pick when I can. I’m nauseous and sick from everything I feel/see all darn day. I think to myself, I love Chick fil a spicy chicken. If I get one I bet my appetite will come back, I bet I’ll be able to eat again. I just need spicy chicken. Well, now I am in the Chick fil a drive thru to get my usual spicy chicken sandwich and sweet tea for me and mac n cheese for Nash. I am one car away from ordering my meal, and it hits me like lightening. “NO More Meat!” And I go “Oh come on, that’s not even fair, I’m right about to order!!” and the Lord god laughed and said “you’ll see why soon.” I think he gets a kick outta me sometimes. He sure likes to play that timing card of His. I have heeded that word and have not had any meat since. I ordered Mac n cheese for Nash and I thought I’ll try a soup. So I get a soup and get to Erik’s house to visit with Nash and I can barely swallow a noodle and then I ended up spilling the whole thing by accident and I go, Ok Lord, continue fasting it is.
Fast forward to last night I am having all these words pouring out of me and I’m trying to write them all down and I took a break to get a drink of tea and I realize that it was Sunday. I go “ooh 90 day fiance is recorded, I’ll take a break to watch it.” I go to sit down and again like lightening I hear “if your right hand” and I know enough scripture to know that means business. So at 5am I tore the TiVo box off of the TV. The kids can have their Netflix and I will be less distracted.
Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Matthew 5:29-30
Now let’s go read Acts, Ash. We have work to do.

258. Is Jesus Enough?

Is Jesus enough for you? What if we never arrive? What if like Moses you wander in the desert for years only to have the Joshua generation be the one to enter the promised land? The land that was originally promised to Abraham 42 generations prior. 42 generations it took to fulfill that promise.  What if you’re generation 37, or 16, or 5 or 41. What if your family is this close to the breakthrough of the promised land that you’ve been praying for, and you give up now? What if you take the bait of the enemy and quit before you reach the finish line? Or worse yet, you give up, erase the efforts of every generation before you, and your kids or grandkids never meet Jesus at all.  This is your reminder…don’t fall for it. Same evil tactics different worldly package. All designed to kill, steal and destroy.  Satan doesn’t have to take your life if he can take your peace, wrap you in groundhog’s days, and have you spread that woe is me, lack of joy under a “Christian” label, like...

240. Back together again

  You know, it's hard when you're growing and walking things out in this life. We look at the world and we point out what's wrong, or what needs changed but we don't realize that the change within us is the most important change needed of all.  The Lord took me to a hallway today. The rooms were all white. In the first room I saw myself about 5 years old. I had crayons and paint and I was dancing to music, painting and coloring these beautiful pictures on the walls. I was praising the Lord and singing as loud as I could. In the second room I was a teenager. I was sitting at a desk. I had colored pencils lined up distinctly in a row, sorted by color. I was coloring on a piece of white paper making a neat picture of a hillside. On top of the hill sat a small white church with a view of the sunset. I had head phones on, jamming out the inside while my composure was quiet and still. In the third room I was in my 20's. I was seated at a dining table. I had a canvas and p...

120. Don’t get Distracted by the Shiny Things

I was listening to a bethel podcast this morning and I was blessed with a vision of a brick road. I’ll get to that in a bit but first I’ll brief you on the podcast. (link in the comments) The podcast had referenced the difference in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd heavens. It focused on making sure that we understand that we can view and discern all three realms. We are not meant to see only this one dimension. It was an eye opening teaching about making sure you ascend into the third heaven, seated with our Heavenly Father in order to find the right direction needed to conquer the battles in the other realms. That happens in prayer, if you let it. The three realms are this natural world (1st heaven), the spiritual warfare realm where the demonic dwells (2nd heaven), and the Lords kingdom (3rd heaven) where the enemy and all demonic forces have lost all authority have have zero power. I’ll have to learn more on all of that before I can actually elaborate in teaching, but I’ll tell you how this vi...
