Motherly Wisdom #18: Stop Running from Your Mother

You will never win brownie points with God running from your mother. Why in the world do you keep running from instruction anyway?

What does the fourth commandment say? Honor Your father and MOTHER?  Come on now! If you want to die tomorrow, keep running. 

You don't have time question everything your parents say or do, unless it is against the word of God, unless you're ready to look death in the face. Stop running from your mother and what she's suggesting you do; give her honor, in UNDERSTANDING, and attempting to BE what GOD IS CALLING YOU TO BE, because that is what is COMING OUT OF YOUR MOTHER'S MOUTH! 

Parents are to show you the way. Yes, they may have made plenty of mistake along the way, but they dont' want you to make the same. Mothers love on you immensely, and try to keep you protected until they just can't, but even as mothers, we have to step back. There is no TOUGH LOVE in stepping back to the CHILD, it is more tough love ON THE MOTHER. 

Stop running and start realizing that your mother....means the best for you!

Feed the spirit not the flesh

I have made many a change in my life in just seven days. It has been heart wrenching and hard to deal with. I have learned that I need to move self out of the way. Can't be selfish, can't be self sustaining, can't be ME. (that statement may sound selfish, but let me continue)...

There are times where the spirit will tell you to step away, and you better or get caught up in the mess that goes on in your mind. Stop feeding the flesh. Stop walking the realm of ME. (selfishness)

People that are still of the world will get it all confused. They think and speak before they pray and ask the Lord to give them wisdom. The reponse of the flesh (the controller) is mean, demeaning and not loving. No matter what the other person says.

The flesh is going to look for affirmation from the world in order to be right. Those walking in the flesh do not know that God is in full control.

So, feed the spirit! And what does that mean....getting in your word and show yourself approved. I have been lazy at this, but I will pick up the pace and get back on track! AMEN??
Taken from bible.com 2 Timothy 2:15-19 (NIV)
15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his,"[a] and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."

Be sure to take the time to read Chapter 3, it refers to godlessness in the last days.
Jeremiah 17:5 This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD. (emphasis mine)

Feed the spirit, die to the flesh...do not walk the way the world walks.

Titus 3:1
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,
