I am blessed to share thoughts with my spiritual sons and daughters, strategically assigned by GOD, to various parts of the world. This note reveals my thoughts and prayers for your strength. Strength in your spirit, soul and body. Separately, they manifest intensity, toughness, and commitment, but together they become a weapon of GOD to turn the tide of spiritual warfare. Be careful, and refuse to neglect any part of that threefold cord. Your spirit is the Holy of Holies, where GODS glory dwells. Maintain a constant vigil in your personal journey to keep your spirit sound, nourished with the word of GOD, and filled from spending time in HIS presence. Be aware of your need to maintain a relationship with GOD that doesnt include sermon preparation, study for a teaching, or some other opportunity to minister to others. You, and GOD need time together, with no agenda other than sharing love, and receiving from HIM. Make time to make it happen. Your soul is a battle ground, where thoughts are brought under submission to the word of GOD, and the NAME of JESUS. Its where you cast down every high thing that attempts to exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD. Be aware of constant distractions that pull attention away from meditating on scripture, and renewing the mind. Your mind, will and emotions must have personal time with GOD, which is not the same as thinking about how to solve the problems of someone else. Take time to hear GODS voice about your personal journey. Make time to make it happen. Your body is the temple. Treat it as such. Take counsel from a person whos had a long journey, youre not in a sprint, its a marathon. Take care of your physical body (temple). I did not, and today I pay a price for that omission. Dont be reluctant to create space for exercise, proper eating, and appropriate rest. You dont have to give your life for ministry, and others.......JESUS gave HIS life for us. Our responsibility is to be a good steward over our life. Make time to make it happen. If there are physical problems present, take care of yourself and behave as healthy as is humanly possible. GOD is still a healer. Refuse to constantly push your body past appropriate points. We all need different amounts of time to rest and refresh. Never be afraid to take what you need in rest. Refuse to allow the enemy to accelerate your efforts and energy past breaking points, in the name of GOD. God doesnt want you destroyed, and we need you for the long journey. Make time to make it happen. Each note I write is intended to be short, yet my love for you draws out more information than originally intended. You matter to me, and I love you deeply. Simply put........TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!
