I have been watching the wind pick up and blow the snow off the tree branches. One of the pine trees I can see outside the balcony door looks bent over at the top because of so much snow weighing it down.
And now unto other things. If you really want to get a good concept of how humans act watch a cat. They are good demonstraters. Chuck bought a new bag of cat food for Maverick last night and when I woke up this morning he had knocked it over on the floor and chewed a hole in the bag because he wanted it more then the other food that was left in his dish. I taped up the hole in the bag so the food doesn't go stale. Yesterday Maverick couldn't spend enough time with me and today he is totally ignoring me. All in a day in the life of a cat.
The Lord has been impressing me the last few days not only about the things I say, but about the thoughts I think as well. The Bible says that once we get saved, we are then continuously engaged in spiritual warfare with our adversary(Satan).
This never lets up until the day our bodies die. Paul calls it wrestling which by the way is the only constant contact sport. See Ephesians chapter 6. This is why Paul says we need to take negative, evil thoughts captive. See II Chorinthians chapter 10. It is also why David asks the Lord in the Psalms to "Set a watch upon my mouth O Lord". These are things that cannot be accomplished on our own. We need the help of the Holy Spirit or Ruach Ha Kodesh as it is pronounced in Hebrew. There are other verses where Paul mentions these things but I can't think of where they are right now. Phillipians I think is one spot. Anyway my prayer is that the Lord will help me to accomplish this. Your mind needs to be renewed and transformed. I think its like how G-d deprogrammed me from rock music. It was gradual but sure.
I remember going up for prayer once at a church service Chuck and I had attended one evening back home. The pastor laid his hands on me and started to pray and said "Romans 12 verses 1 and 2 are going to become very important to you in this next year. He was off by a couple of years but otherwise right on. Romans 12 verses 1 and 2 talks about being transformed by the renewing of your mind. G-d started to work on this with me when I got into my 40's as I have mentioned before. I pray He never stops.
And now on another note, there are some tough times coming up just ahead and all I will say is make sure you have plenty of water and that your cupboards and pantry shelves are well stocked with staples. We will be needing these things in the very near future. If you want to just think I am a kook thats fine but if times should become tough as I am warning you will no one to blame but yourselves. I just am being the watchman on the wall.
