HAVE YOU EVER FELT SORRY FOR SOMEONE AND LATER REALIZED IT WAS NOT PITY, BUT COMPASSION?

HAVE YOU EVER HAD COMPASSION FOR YOURSELF, MISTAKING ON IT FOR SELF-PITY?

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AT AROUND 1030PM, I WAS LYING IN MY BED, HALF ASLEEP. LIGHT OFF.

MY PHONE RINGS, TWO BROTHERS WERE CALLING ME SIMULTANEOUSLY, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS GOING ON!

MY SISTER HAD PASSED AWAY. SHE WAS A PEDESTRIAN AT THE CROSS WALK OF A TRAIN TRACKS. SHE STEPPED IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING TRAIN. SHE DIED AROUND AN HOUR LATER.

I WAS STRUCK WITH A DEEP PENETRATING GLOOM, THIS TRIGGERED SOME OLD TRAGIC MEMORIES.

I WAS DEVASTATED, I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. SHE WAS GONE. SHE WAS THE ONE WHO UNDERSTOOD ME AND KNEW ME THE BEST IN MY FAMILY.

YOU SEE, ON JANUARY 31, 1968 I LOST MY PARENTS TO A MURDER/SUICIDE DEMON. I WAS 10 YEARS OLD.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT WAS HAPPENING AGAIN!

I KNEW THAT NO ONE COULD HELP ME. ONLY GOD.

I HAVE LEARNED AND RECEIVED A HIGHER REVELATION ‘OF WHAT THE STATEMENT MEANS ‘HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME’

THANK GOD, I KNEW TO LEAN ON HIS SPIRIT, THE BURDEN-REMOVING, YOKE-DESTROYING POWER OF GOD.

I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT THE LIFE THAT I LIVE IN THE FLESH, MY BODY, I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF JESUS, THE ONE WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME.

YOU SEE, I WAS CONCEIVED IN MY MOTHERS WOMB AS A [IN NATURE] SINNER.

MY MOTHER GAVE BIRTH TO A SPIRIT WHO WAS LYING DORMANT/DEAD, IN A MORTAL BODY WHO POSSESSED A SOUL [THINKER, FEELER, CHOOSER]

I GREW TO BE A TODDLER, ADOLESCENT, TEENAGER, AND A YOUNG ADULT.

THEN, I DECIDED TO GIVE MY LIFE TO GOD…

AND HE MADE ME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD [ THE NATURE OF HIM].

AS AN OLDER ADULT, I AM STILL RENEWING MY CARNAL MIND TO THE WORD OF GOD, BECAUSE IN ORDER TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, I MUST CAST DOWN IMAGINATIONS, ETC SO THAT MY BORN AGAIN SPIRIT WHO HAS THE MIND OF CHRIST CAN BRING MY FLESH/CARNAL- THINKING UNDER SUBJECTION TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
