It has been in the single digits here where I live when I started this post. And it’s still cold in the 20-degree weather. It’s not good for the body.
Or your car.
Or your home.
Or whatever else you can think of.
Or anything you need to keep warm and comfortable.
Humans are not made to live in those conditions. When you live in a climate where you are at an average temperature of 75 degrees above zero, that’s good. 😃
But when it’s hotter than 75 degrees, it starts to be a challenge to be cool. Avoiding those annoying biting bugs because they can smell your body chemistry once you begin perspiration.
So then the flip side of keeping cool and drinking plenty of water.
Or your car’s AC.
Or your home’s AC.
Or whatever else you can think of.
And anything you need to keep cool or cold.
Complaining is not really good to do! Once you get used to one temperature being one way it changes. 😂
Just remember GOD is in control. And we will be alright.😀
Learning patience is perpetual as we live each day until we are called home to be with the LORD.
We are all students in life. Going through tests of faith. We pass when we are allowed into heaven!
When we are praying for an answer, listening so we will hear the answer and learn from the LORD. Knowing exactly what to do. GOD will tell you wait, no, or do this or that.
I want to share with you an example of what I had gone through and how our beloved FATHER GOD answered me. As an adult, I continue to learn a new lesson in my life. To step back, be humble, be patient, listen, and wait on the LORD.
This year, there was below zero and single digit weather where I live. Serious stuff when you are used to having your water flow and pressure running when it’s above freezing weather. The weather is different now, changing.
A lesson to be learned was in progress.
When pipes decide to freeze up, it could be a whole line of pipe affected. So you insulate your pipes, use heat tape, heat lamp, and whatever is proper and safe to use that you know of at the time.
Cold sharp winds will always find a way to your pipes when you are unaware. But not all homes are made the same. But like I say, not all homes are designed and made the same. You find that out quickly.
Since our beloved FATHER GOD created all heaven and earth, we learn just how powerful HE is. In situations when it is weather and other natural conditions, you can experience it.
We had our pipes freeze up. There was no water for a few days. And from previous experience when this happens, there will be a plug in the pipes. Either ice or sediment. So the pipes need to be warmed up.
Not my house, praise GOD, we don’t live in -15 degree weather!
Calling around to see who could help from different plumbers , they were coming up extravagant costs that would be equal to a good used 2022 year car.
Praying so hard for GOD the FATHER and HIS SON JESUS to intervene to send the right person to help. GOD did. After almost 3 weeks with no water, using a bucket with a seat as a potty, using stored and bought water. The water was used for cooking and bathing. That goes fast if you happen to like to drink water, too.
Our blessings came when our beloved GOD and JESUS sent two of our relatives who believe in GOD and love him too. GOD used them to help us.
And we did not have to pay anything for what they did from a new toilet to working on the pipes.
Giving our beloved FATHER GOD the glory.
Giving our beloved FATHER GOD the praise.
Being patient and watching how HE blesses!
Not only had we received the blessings but for those who helped us will too.
Patience, trust, and sincere prayer from the heart. Our beloved FATHER GOD hears it. Knows what we need. I feel GOD puts things into place even before we ask for help.
From Google:
According to the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, patience is a skill that can be learned through testing and trials. The Bible also says that patience can be developed by practicing walking in the spirit.
Bible verses about patience
Romans 15:4: “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope”
James 1:3: “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience”
Hebrews 10:36: “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise”
Romans 5:3-4: “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope”
Luke 21:19-21: “In your patience possess ye your souls”
Proverbs 15:18: “Hot tempers cause arguments, but patience brings peace”
When you get home and are relaxed from your long day, this is what happens. You pick up your ringing phone, and a demon is on the other end of the phone.
Beware of the numbers I posted here because it is a scam.
They will try to accuse you of debits or unpaid credit cards and have your name and other information. None of what they have on you will be true. You don’t owe money.
They can’t tell you exactly who you owe , won’t send paperwork to prove that you do, will talk to nasty and get angry.
I pray for these lost souls that do this deception.
I looked on the internet for the location of this number, which called me from Almond, NY. They are usually landlines and spammers.
I am not going to give the owners the full name and address. What I am showing you is what is available free on the internet.
If you were to get a spam caller, look it up. See what’s going on for your sake. If they know about you, you have the right to know about them too.
If only I were a gambler and bought a winning ticket. When I get that ticket, for sure, I would pay off all of my bills first. Get the bills out of the way.
Then I would be able to help my family seond, and my true friends third.
Of course, I would give to another ministry aside from this one here on my blog. I would ask GOD to lead me on that because of how people are in some churches and ministries.
But you have to be in it to win it. I don’t buy the lottery tickets to get money. That would be gambling, and it is not good.
So there is no chance of me winning the lottery. 🙂
This post today is late, for I usually have it posted hours before now. This did annoy me, for it seemed like there were distractions that needed to be tended to for no one else could tend to them.
When you are 6 years old, you look up to the adults in your life and think that you can’t wait until you are grown too.
When you see all of the responsibilities as a grown-up, you then miss being 6 years old. It can happen all at once in a year or a week. But you see what you were missing as a child.
Some good and some of it bad too.
Reading about our beloved JESUS in the wilderness shows me and you all that HE stayed focused on the end when all will be said and done.
Matthew 4:1-11
4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Reading the word of GOD can mean different things each time you read it and hit you differently, too. It will depend on what you are going through at the time. Like with Matthew 4:1-11.
It seems like just because you are a follower of JESUS and people know it, they test you. The wicked are watching you to see just what they can use to tempt you to get off the track of righteousness.
Persistent wicked non-believers people who have no true cause to hate true believers are listening to demons to distract you from your focus on GOD.
Praise GOD openly with your mouth. Stay in prayer. Talk to GOD and HIS SON JESUS constantly 🙏🏾. People don’t have to know that you are communicating with GOD and JESUS. You can pray with your eyes open.
You could be at work. You can be looking at your computer and still be working. Don’t break your bond with them for GOD and HIS SON JESUS and the Holy Spirit that we can say is truly on our side ❤️
If you are going through a wilderness journey right now, pick up your Bible and read what our savior has gone through to show us the way.
