Do you know that God really does communicate with us? When I pick up my bible I can read and read and read and the words have meaning and I retain some and let some go because that’s just how my brain processes things but at some point in my readings I’m gonna have an internal feeling most likely that one particular line or the overall message that I’ve been reading means something deep down inside me. I’m gonna realize that God’s sharing His thoughts with me on a particular subject and that He’s “speaking” to me on a spiritual level. My inside’s recognize Him before my physical senses do because He is spirit and I am spirit on the inside and the Physical is corrupted by sin but my spirit is united to Him without sin because I’ve excepted Jesus, His Son. This morning I was hanging out with Jesus and my coffee and my bible and I opened up the bible to Ezekiel. I just always let the Lord lead me to where He wants us to hang out and this happened to be where I turned to first. I know that some folks like to read from the beginning to the end of the book or they are on a set reading plan for each day and that’s fine too. God can do anything He wants in any fashion He wants. I like to live wild though, bahahahhaha, so I was reading wherever He lead me and I’m reading down through Ezekiel and get to Chapter 2 verse 8. “But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.” Well I could of fallen over. I wasn’t even thinking about food or my weight or my health. It was a new day and I was excited and full of energy and hope. I hadn’t let any burden pile on me yet, and my controlling my eating has definitely been a burden but I knew instantly in my heart, in my spirit that God had just spoken to me. Now I know what this verse is speaking of to the best of my understanding but God was using it in His own way to speak to my spirit. He was showing me to eat the foods He’s given me instead of manmade foods. “…open your mouth and eat what I give you.” It is a form of rebellion for me to keep going against Him when He’s shown me over and over what is right. “Do not rebel like that rebellious house…” Of course without His power I am not able to do this every time but He will help me if He’s commanding me and He is. I simply have to choose His way instead of my own. I have to have a heart that wants to not rebel and takes a step in His direction. This food thing has been on my plate way too long. I don’t want anything to control me other than the Lord and while I’ve seen great changes in my diet, my weight has maintained at 275 – 267. I’m tickled to be down from 303 but I don’t want to be stuck here trying to eat what I know to be right but failing over and over and maintaining this unhealthy weight. Now here God is telling me to eat His foods yet again and to stop rebelling. How much more plain could He be? So please continue to pray for me. If God’s speaking mountains are about to be moved. I know this! My faith knows this! I’m gonna concur this mountain any day now =) I want to take you on the journey so we can celebrate it together! Jesus, thank You that you don’t give up on me even when I give up on me. Thank You that You keep picking me up and dusting me off and putting me back on the right path! Thank You that You give me the information I need to do the right thing and thank You that You hold my hand every step of the way and actually make it possible!! In Your name! Amen!
