IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE BULL BY IT'S HORNS!

HOW MANY OF US ARE GETTING MAJOR BREAKTHROUGHS, YET MINOR SETBACKS? EXAMPLE: GOING SEVERAL STEPS FORWARD, WITH ONE OR TWO BACKWARDS, AND IN THE LAST YEAR, YOU'VE GROWN IN THE LORD WONDERFULLY, YET THERE IS STILL AN OPEN DOOR TO THE ENEMY AND/OR THE LIKE? YES, THAT'S THE BEST DESCRIPTION WITH ME TOO! THE GOOD SIDE OF THIS IS THE FACT THAT SAYING MOST KNOW FROM CHILDHOOD: (REMEMBER) : "WHAT DOESN'T KILL A PERSON: (YOU OR ME) CERTAINLY CAN, AND DOES MAKE US STRONGER! MY BATTLE'S HAVE BEEN VICTORIOUS IN THE LORD, YET I GET HIT OF THE ENEMY AND WHAT USED TO TAKE ME NEARLY A MONTH TO GET OUT OF, NOW IS JUST A FEW HOURS! I ALSO HAD A VISION/DREAM ONE NIGHT OVER A YEAR AGO, WHERE JESUS CHRIST WAS CARRYING ME THROUGH THE RED SEA. I AWOKE AND ALMOST HEARD AUDIBLY: " NICOLE, WOULD YOU LET ME DO SOMETHING PLEASE?" ~~ OUCH~~ THIS WAS FULL OF LOVE AND COMPASSION. I COULD FEEL GOD'S HEART. OUCH! SINCE THAT VERY TIME, I'VE BEEN MAKING SO MANY DECISIONS ON THE SIMPLE FACT OF THIS CHALLENGE. THIS VERY WEEK OF JANUARY, I'VE HAD SOME WONDERFUL ABBA WALKS AND COULD WONDERFULLY DISCERN/FEEL GOD'S JOY OF HIS SHOWING ME SUCH NATURE/BIRDS AND MORE BY THE CREEK. YET AS THE SUNSET AND I WAS MAKING DINNER, I WAS HIT BY THE ENEMY, AND FOR A FEW HOURS, FELT WORTHLESS, DEPRESSED AND MORE. THEN I REALIZED, THIS WAS JUST A DART/ARROW FROM THE ENEMIES QUIVER. WELL THIS MORNING;(JUST A FEW HOURS FROM THE SPIRITUAL/ATTACK):I GOT THE IDEA OF WORSHIPPING WITH MY FLAGS:(WHICH I LOVE, AND HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE SEVERAL TIMES): TOOK MY FLAGS, DRESSED APPROPRIATELY AND WENT OUT HERE TO THE CORNER OF WHERE I LIVE: (GATEWAY AVE AND EAST OWENS AVE.): AND WORSHIPPED OUR GOD AND CREATOR. I DECLARED ITEMS AS HOLY SPIRIT PROMPTED. MANY SAW ME ON THEIR WAY TO WORK AND YES, I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER TWO YEARS: (NOT ON THE STREET CORNER, BUT OUT ON MY ABBA WALKS AND DECLARING LAS VEGAS, NOT TO BE KNOWN AS SIN CITY, BUT CITY OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST): WE ARE; YES WE ARE, IN THE TIME OF THE BIGGEST REVIVAL TO DATE. THIS IS WHY THERE IS SO MUCH WARFARE, GOD ALLOWS THE ENEMY TO WRECK HAVOC, SO THAT WE, HIS KIDS, WILL USE THOSE GIFTINGS, HE GAVE US! MANY OF US CAN AND DO SING, BUT DO WE ONLY SING FOR AND TO HIM ON SUNDAY MORNING? MANY OF PLAY INSTRUMENT, PAINT, SEW, AND MORE; YET DO WE DO ANYTHING BESIDES GIVE TITHES AND OFFERING FOR AND TO OUR GOD AND CREATOR! THERE IS MORE TO COME IN THIS TIME WE ARE IN. REMEMBER GOD IS CLEANING THE GROUT IN THOSE TILES. THAT'S THE PHYSICAL SIDE OF SEPARATING THE SHEEP FROM THE GOATS. SO MY CONCLUSING GET INTO THE WORD OF GOD, START PRAYING INSTEAD OF ONLY JUST BEFORE A MEAL/ GOING TO BED. TALK TO GOD, ANYTIME/ AT ALL TIMES. WHEN I GO OUT ON AN ERRAND, I ASK THAT GOD WILL MAKE CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT AND ROUGH PLACES SMOOTH. (ISAIAH 45:2) UNTIL NEXT TIME ~~~ NICOLE NANETTE RAMIREZ / SHALOM!
