The Stumbling Block Walk
This morning, I heard The LORD say the Word from Ephesians 4,
“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” (Ephesians 4:26).
How does if feel when you know The LORD is speaking directly in your ear and heart?
Have you ever felt like the only pupil in a classroom?
When the teacher says “You” — forget about looking around!
I thank The LORD for customizing His Word for my instruction.
I find myself doing things to please The LORD. In the process — those things sometimes end up offending others. Satan sends stumbling blocks to discourage God’s people.
I had a dream last night. There was a pile of burnt logs surrounding my back yard as I was doing a Bible Study at home.
The LORD showed me it was the enemy working through people to hinder my relationship with Jesus.
Then The LORD told me to be aware of people groups who do not like change. This dream is a warning for me to not operate in the flesh.
“Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.” Luke 6:30-36.
Even when people discern who the enemy uses to distract our faith walk — we are still commanded to love.
Know that The LORD called Christians to walk upright before Him. When stumbling blocks and distractions arise, remember this scripture —
“Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7.
“The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to The LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of The LORD men depart from evil. When a man’s ways please The LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.” Proverbs 16:4-7.
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” Romans 7:18-25.
Peace Out,
The Blessing of The LORD Be upon You,

Good word! Amen, thank you Mary!
Dear JG
The Lord chastens those whom He loves. I am glad to be His child.
