Me-Maw Thoughts

Have you ever had a sinus infection, ear ache, etc just hit you so fast you are not sure where it came from. That happened to me last night. I had some chest and sinus stuff a couple of weeks ago and had taken some over the counter medicine and felt better except for a little nagging cough.
But last night I was blowing out gross stuff, having pains in my ear and throat feeling achy and hurting. It kept that up all night.
What happened? How can this stuff mass produce in such a hurry? Who knows! Maybe it is left over or maybe it is new but either way I must get rid of it.
OK, so I’m done with the over counter medicine and am seeing a Doctor today!
This reminded me of some scriptures that I want to share with you.
1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Hebrews 12:15 (KJV)
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Colossians 3:8 (KJV)
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
May I tell you that the enemy of all that is good (satan) is looking for ways to trip you up. If he can get you thinking you are free from some of the things listed above he has the opportunity to bring it back in force when we least expect it.
Your enemy the devil is looking for a place to devour you. Any opening you give him, he will surely take. If you have bitterness, anger, malice, unforgiveness, etc. he will jump on that attitude and knock you down.
We must as Hebrews 12:25 and Colossians 3:8 says: be diligent in putting off all of these things. How? By releasing them to the Lord Jesus Christ.
When we come to the creator God in the name of Jesus and begin to release all the junk that is within us we begin to be well and whole in the spirit.
Speak it out. God knows all about the ugly you are carrying but He wants you to recognize it and call it by name. Tell God the Father how angry you are and about what: how bitter you are and about what: and how much you hold unforgiveness toward someone in your life. This anger, bitterness and unforgiveness may even be toward yourself but you need to tell God about it.
As you speak it out and release it to the Lordship of Jesus you are one step closer to spiritual healing.
We maybe can hold our anger for a little while or bury our bitterness most times. We maybe fill like we have forgiven sometimes. But the devil is looking for just a small opening to make that flare up all over again.
We must get rid of the root. Just as I must get rid of the infection in my body or it will keep coming back we must get rid of the attitudes that are not of God and we cannot do that by our self.
Jesus is waiting for us to roll our ugly attitudes on Him. Let us do it!!

Father, in Jesus name I come to you just as I am. I ask you to take every attitude and attribute in my life that is not of you out by the root. I give you permission to invade my heart with great love and compassion. I cannot do this on my own but when I partner with you and let you lead I can avoid the enemies attacks. Bless each person who reads this and may we understand that you want to fight our battles for us. Amen
Let Jesus fix it!
Love, Me-Maw
