Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
Philippians 4:6-7
I'm a patient guy, always have been. And when I recognized my talent/gift of photography and in 2019 "went pro/freelance", that patience had to expand even more. so, most things I'm willing to wait for the appropriate time
But there's certain HUGE prayers, that mean a great deal to me, I've literally been waiting a lifetime for the answer. The Lord prompted me with this verse, and I literally had to kneel down on side of my bed, put my head down, clasp my hands in prayer, and I cried intensely for a minute or two.
Why, what I'm praying FOR means that much to me, have that high of a priority for me, and will provde the greatest blessings, joy & happiness once the Lord answers that prayer exactly as I asked (which he will do)
So thank you Jesus as I know the answer is around the corner. I TRUST & HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOU
This is YOU ๐ซต ๐ซต ๐ซต "the boat" right now !!!
That FIERCE STORM thats MIGHTILY "tossing you around" is because of your FOOLISHNESS and DISOBEDIENCE to the Lord.
You believed ALL of the lies, no matter how absurd that contradicted your spiritual beliefs & values.
In the process, not only did you allow a demon into your life once, but twice. Which means he brought 7 more with him when he re-entered your "house".
Spiritual idolatry/ vanity / disobedience result in severe spiritula discipline..... it's just getting started.
All because you allowed your honorable & genuine dreams to be hijacked and manipulated them for deceptive purposes.
It's gonna get worse as the Lord will NOT take kindly to this. There's severe consequences for spiritual disobedience.
The Lord has great blessings in store for you. But you're no where near ready to receive them in your current mindset/heart/spirit.
The Lord will be "shaking you to the core" to teach you one of the biggest life's lessons ever, in the "refiners fire".
Youโre in such deception you donโt realize youโre living a double minded life.
Unstable & confused.
But at the appointed time the Lord will expose it all the lies will become abundantly clear and the truth will rise above it all
Mark my words , make note of this !!!
YOU ๐ซต are now a living example of James 1:8
"A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways."
Jesus warns that a "double-minded man is unstable in all his ways". This describes a person with divided loyalties who wavers between trusting God and relying on themselves or (someone else).
How did you be come unstable. By letting a demon back into your heart a 2nd time. Thats right, a 2nd time. After KNOWING they were a demon.
Matthew 12:43-45: "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person... it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself... and the last state of that person is worse than the first".
The consequesnces of this type of spiritual disobedience are severe, the Lord does NOT look kindly upon. You've commited Spiritual selfish vanity (overinflated ego, arrogance, condescenting attitude), spiritual selfish pride (my way, not the Lord's way),
Spiritual idolatry, and disobedience.
You hid behind the scriptures to "look holy", instead of keeping them in your heart as your previous biblical foundation
You allowed your complete spiritual identity, self esteem, values, and even decision making to be replaced by warped ideaology and a demon.
You're about to go into the refiners fire where you will be "shaken to the core" by the Lord.
The deception trance you're currently under is about to be broken by the reality of the truth. It'll be catastrophic and the worst nightmare mentally/emotionally/physically and spiritually you've ever faced.

Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw grandaddy down here
He only come to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now, the revenue man wanted grandaddy bad
Headed up the holler with everything he had
'Fore my time, well, I've been told
He never come back from Copperhead Road
Now, daddy ran the whiskey in a big-block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
"Johnson County Sheriff" painted on the side
He just shot a coat of primer, then he looked inside
Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
And then the Sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard Mama cryin', knew somethin' wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
And now the DEA's got a chopper in the
You better stay away from Copperhead Road
Whoa!
Copperhead Road
Huh, Copperhead Road

"The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 1 Timothy 4:1
โWhen an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, โI will return to the house I left.โ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.โ โ Matthew 12:43-45
Through deception, you have allowed your spiritual beliefs, values & ideaology to be warped, corrupted to completely contrast the strong spirutal beliefs and values you once had...... (all through humor & the spiritual mirroring and hijacking of the demons).
You will suffer severe spiritual consequences of this soon. A massive life changing "shaking you to your core" is about to happen. For which you are not expecting or prepared.
But it's all in preparation for you to receive your greatest blessings the Lord has prepared for you. You are NOT ready for those blessings yet. But once the sifting is over, you'll be ready.
Yep, this is MY "vibe" to NYC mayor Mandani. I've known @ScottLoBaido for nearly 10 yrs. Been to his art gallery showroom, he's hired me to both photograph his paintings but press releases of being arrested & released. An EXTREMELY TALENTED & passionate painter & American Patriotism
I will not let you forget, dear one, that I am holding you in My arms. Through all the problems in this world, through all the pain and sadness you bear, if you look to Me, I will not let you forget that My arms are wrapped tightly around you, seeking to hold and comfort you.
Yea, though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you will fear no evil for I am with you, now and forever.
A new world is about to start for you. Your time of sorrow and despair is coming to an end and I have a bright new world before you. Just hold My hand and let the adventure continue.
Surely life with Me is the greatest adventure of all: one in which you know the ending, one in which you know that you know that you know and one in which you know there will be a happy, happy ending.
โAnd My child lived happily ever afterโ
Psalms 23:4, 6, New King James Version:
โYea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.โ
MEDITATIONS FROM YOUR ABBA FATHER
Just remember when your standing in the valley of decision.... and the adversary says give in
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again
The refiners FIRE is to PURIFY YOU of all your impuritiets...... the HEAT is necessary.... for the Lord is the potter, we are the clay.
Through the Fire lyrics by the Crabbs
So many times I've questioned certain circumstances
Or things I could not understand
Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
And my frustration gets so out of hand
Its then I am reminded I've never been forsaken
I've never had to stand the test alone
As I look at all the victories
The spirit rises up in me
And its through the fire my weakness is made strong
He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered our victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time
Just remember when your standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says give in
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again
I know within myself that I would surely perish
But if I trust the hand of God, He'll shield the flames again, again
He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered our victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time
Just remember when your standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says give in
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again

Bible Prayer for today from "Meditations from your ABBA Father"
I want to be with you forever, but the real โforeverโ is a concept you cannot yet comprehend.
For as long as eternity, I wish to see you, be with you, walk with you, and to speak with you.
My love for you will never diminish. Come and take My hand. Walk with me through the portals of time and space and just spend time with Me. My heart yearns for it, for you are the beloved child who I created for Me.
I placed every eyelash over your eyes. I made you a heart to beat with life and love. I gave you strong legs to walk on to bear My gospel message and I gave you a soul to seek after Me.
Are you listening to your soul? For I am calling. Can you hear the whisperings of My heart towards you?
Every since you were young I have guided and protected you, waiting to draw you into a deeper relationship with Me. That time is here and now, My child. Take this moment to reach out and take My hand, saying โI choose You!โ.
Remain in Me and I in you.
Find your joy, our joyโฆtrue joy.
Isaiah 40:31, New King James Version:
โBut those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.โ
