It’s Monday, I’m extremely grateful for EVERYTHING. Most definitely, these four things. I’ve been on a tedious journey that has not always been pleasant with victories. I’ve been broken, crushed to dust because that’s what it has felt like. Many circumstances were unfair to me. I’m just being completely honest. I’m so extremely grateful for the guidance that God gives me. God has taught me many things. Today, I will share four of them. You might laugh but they work.
First, God asked me to go out to buy the prettiest towel that I could find in 2006. At the time I lived in Norfolk, Virginia on Virginia Beach Blvd. I went to the mall close by, I found a purple towel with gold tassels at Macy’s. This towel was very expensive. By the time I entered my car, I was curious to know the reason for the towel which left me so puzzled. The voice of the Lord told me that I should pray with the towel. I would read my bible, cry and pray with the towel. Three days later, I received a miraculous breakthrough from a friend who is a Muslim. A couple of years had passed. I became a member of Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral. After wearing my purple towel to church several times, soon after there was a class about a tallit. Finally, I found out that the purple towel was my prayer shawl. I laugh so hard. God did not keep me ignorant to the fact that I needed a prayer shawl. I can’t wait to share the whole story in a blog post. Now when the voice of the Lord tells me to do things, I put it in my search engine to research and get clarification .
Second, God asked me to put cold water on my feet before I anoint them with frankincense and myrrh. The first time I was like, what? Of course, I’m obedient and I did it. I was curious to know why cold water. I did a little research then found out that by soaking your feet in cold water it has a lot of great benefits. For example, it regulates the blood circulation in the area of your feet. I was beyond grateful to know that this technique really helps in many ways. I found many links on this subject. If you want to find out more, I suggest that you put benefits of cold water for your feet in the search engine. You will be amazed of all the great benefits.
Third, God told me to turn upside because I was experiencing severe dizziness. My initial thought, for real God, I can’t balance myself upside down. I thought for a moment to figure out how I was going to complete the task. Then I laid down on my bed with my head and shoulders hanging towards the floor. It felt weird at first but now I like it. When I sat up, I felt so much better. The dizziness was gone. I’ve experienced severe dizziness for some time now that had me in the bed for weeks at a time. I’ve gone to my primary doctor. They are still running test and still don’t know what is wrong with me. I thought that I could shake it off but it just will not go away until I turn upside down. I put in the search engine the benefits of turning upside down. One link said that it relieves stress. I just smiled and said, “Wow!”
Fourth, God asked me to sing my number one praise and worship song that I wrote out of pain many years ago. The song is an upbeat song that makes me smile. Recently, I’ve been experiencing severe dizziness while attempting to prepare breakfast for myself. I had to stop and lean on the counter and sink. I begin to sing my number one praise and worship song that I made up. As I began to sing it, the dizziness began to go away. This reminded me of when David played the lyre for Saul and the evil spirit went away. Once my dizziness went away, I had a talk with God saying, “I’ll praise you, please just keep that dizziness away from me. How can I care for myself with this debilitating experience? God gave me a short-term remedy.
I’m so extremely grateful to God for clear guidance in these scenarios. God knows that I need help with fighting these evil attacks of the enemy. How can I fight the enemy when I don’t know who they are? I won’t ever stop praying for myself because I love me. Just know that God say’s vengeance is mine. Everyday I get up fighting for my life, I have faith and I trust in God. God is still good despite these attacks. I know who sits on the throne. What has God taught you lately?
Have a Bodacious Day!
