Fear of Punishment

 

Fear of punishment: Mastigophobia

The Fear of Punishment, Abuse or Being Beaten. 

Punishment has been used as a tool for controlling humans and animals since the beginning of time. We have been threatened all our lives to make us fall in line. The Religion warns us of a hell as punishment, constitution threatens us with prison or death sentence, society threatens us with banishment.

BONDAGE!!!

Let’s understand the long term effect of the constant threats of punishment on us. A child is threatened to follow orders, like sit quietly, write within the lines on the text book, sit, stand speak, run only when allowed to, if the child does not follow it he gets the punishment.

BONDAGE!!!!

After a while the child stops thinking, dreaming and even living the way she wants.

BONDAGE!!!!

The risk taking capability of the child is crushed and the child grows to become a very good follower of orders and the world calls her a normal child. The children who break these rules become abnormal and are usually sent for therapy.

🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽

So the normal child grows up to become a normal grown up and lives entire life trapped within the walls of normal behaviour and scared of punishment

BONDAGE !!!!

Galatians 5:1

 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

The God of Comfort

Praise the Lord our God who will comfort you in the time of sickness.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 The Message (MSG)

^3-5 All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too.

I just received the flu shot. Not because I wanted to but because  I had to due to job requirements. I am fully aware of when my immunity gets compromised during the year. Now this is October and I have the flu? I normally don't get it until February. They try to convince me that the flu shot does not cause the flu. I am not a nurse or clinician of any kind. I carefully take care of the immunity of myself because at one time I suffered from Anemia (By the way I was miraculously healed from it after 20 years! Praise the Lord). But even so, it is not the fact that of the shot itself. It is the fact that I the facts about this shot is truly deceitful in what I see is happening around me. Everyone around me who received it is sick. 

I wanted to use this as an example because in the matters of "it's not what you see" or "don't believe what you see" Situations arise where you have to look directly at what is happening. If you don't, you may miss what is actually going on. Somethings require prayer and somethings require direct action. Be aware directly of the things that is going on around you. It is what you see. The enemy is deceitful. Prowling to devour. SO PRAISE BE TO THE LORD OUR GOD! THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT! The God who is with us at all time. When you realize what is going on, Pray and trust God, invoke the Holy Spirit for guidance in the matter. You will be healed in Jesus Name.

Noah's Shame

 20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

And so, with Noah being a righteous man in the eyes of the Almighty, plus experiencing such massive trauma, after all that he went through, why would he be exposed in so much shame and recklessness. 

1. Some of the animals he had collected had to use them as burnt offerings. (Can you imagine the size and weight of those animals? You can imagine that they didn't stay still for sacrifice.) 

2. Can you imagine such loss of friends and family?

3. Then he became a tiller of the land only to get drunk? Wine is made from fermented grapes. Did they make it on the ark? 

This just makes me think that no matter how great you think you are, you will always do something to create shame in your life. If you don't do it someone else will. I still want to know why the Word would expose Noah with such shame.

Then the Almighty made a covenant with him?

This doesn't make sense.

Don't be ashamed of feeling shame

 Early this morning I was awakened or I never went to sleep early because fear of beauty was on my mind. I am free from that and I am delivered from that. But this morning, shame creeped. Be mindful of the things that dropping your spirit when you awake in the morning. Anyway, I was thinking that I am ashamed of my talents. I am ashamed of my gifts. I am ashamed of my outward appearance. So I realized that this is a root that was embedded in me when I was a child performing, drawing, making my own clothes, singing, and just being me. I realized that my elders made me feel like I was not good enough and that transpired into my adult life way into my older adult life thinking that I'm not good enough. That I'm not worthy to do anything even live. But the Bible says God bless  the works of her hands. The almighty said he will give you the words to speak. He also said that do not be afraid for he will perform what he said he would in me. I trust God. I trust his word. I trust what he says. And I trust that he cares for me enough to uproot all of those roots those negative things that were said to me that transpired into my negative thoughts about me. So I believe that he will do the same for you but instead of you being alone in this Deliverance, that he will send you someone to help you walk through the uprooting. Because once we realize that a lot of the things that we grew up believing about ourselves didn't belong to us but only belong to our predecessors of what was embedded in them, sometimes it just wasn't good. But we are still here. 

We are still living , breathing, and moving, in the Lord in our lives. This is a new life for us. This is a new life for me. No longer will I be bound. To other people's opinions. Not to not listen to sound wisdom but to discern heavily whether it's sound wisdom or just someone's opinion. I know that words have power. That's why there are so many meanings to one word. Because they have power. And the word of God has power to change one's life. Because he changed mine and he still changing it for the better. He still changing it so I can know that I am loved. To know that I have a father that loves me that cares for me that'll help me when I need it. So I send you blessings today and I pray that you be delivered from shame. And don't be afraid to expose it so you can kill it. Selah 

Beauty blog

 I'm sitting here in my bed feeling like I'm having a Life review. Life reviews happen to people who have near-death experiences or ndes. I'm looking at my life as the path that I took for beauty. And what I'm finding out is that I am afraid to make myself beautiful because I am going to be reprimanded for putting on makeup, dressing up, even wearing heels. This stems from elementary school, my father, and some of my boyfriends. Sometimes I thought it was because I was dark skinned. But I was beautiful. My skin was a chocolate brown. My eyes and my hair are the same color. An extension hair it would be called number four. So I think I am beautiful. But now at 50 and my oppressors are now dead or gone., there should be no reason anymore for me to fear being beautiful. So I'm going to pray right now;

Father in the name of Jesus, I pray right now, to please deliver me from fear. Please deliver me from hurting myself. Please forgive me for not loving myself the way that you love me. Please forgive me for having other people's opinions affect the way I think about myself and it's not the way you think about me. Please forgive me for misinterpreting your word. Some people say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people say that you don't look at the outward appearance but you look at the heart and I know that's what your word says not just what people say. But that misinterpretation messes with my self-esteem as far as me being beautiful is concerned. I will see so much about my nose and it's some instances I still am. But now I am in my older years and my body is beginning to break down. I spent a lot of my time not loving myself not beautiful in myself. Help me oh God to love myself. Help me oh Lord to be who you made me to be. That is a woman after your own heart. A woman that was born beautiful with curly hair and brown skin and the most beautiful smile. Help me oh Lord see myself as you see me. Help me oh Lord. Help me oh God. Because you are my maker. You created me. But you didn't create me like this. I only learned what I am taught from man. But what you taught me from your word and from the love that you have shown me by giving me life and giving me Revelation about my life you have shown me how beautiful I am in your sight. I thank you for this platform that I am able to confess my faults and heal from them while helping someone else heal also. I thank you for life. And I thank you for the ability to be able to be transparent to help someone else deal with the mental battles. Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being with me. Thank you for giving me strength. Thank you for covering me with your wings. Thank you for protecting me. Thank you for being my banner going before me. Thank you for everything. Thank you for taking care of me since my husband passed away. Forgive me for stepping away when I did. My spirit is willing but my flesh is weak. But I know I'm more spiritual than fleshy. I know that my spirit will control my flesh. Because that's not what's important in your eyes. I thank you for all the revelations in my life. Thank you for keeping me. Holy spirit thank you for showing me the way. Jesus you are the truth and the light thank you. Thank you for being my savior. I ask all these things in Jesus name amen.

Moments of the Crucifixion of the Messiah

Today in service the Almighty gave me a vision of the moments when the Messiah was hanging on the cross. Then He spoke to me: 

The Messiah said, "Oh LORD, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew7:26

The LORD GOD said to me to say to you, " OH PEOPLE OF GOD, why have you forsaken me? Why are you arguing about my WORD? Why are you teaching what I have not said? Why are you not serving the people whom I said to serve? Why are you not showing them the way that I love? Why are you only thinking about yourselves? Why have you forsaken ME? Says the LORD. 

The Messiah said, "I thirst." John 19:28.

The LORD says," Right here is worship."

 The Messiah was saying, "LORD, I thirst for your spirit. I thirst for your presence. OH LORD, why have you forsaken me? I thirst OH LORD for a Word from you. I thirst to hear your voice. I thirst for you. Walk with me. Talk with me. Why have you forsaken me? I surrender all to you."

Then the Almighty opened up my understanding. I asked the LORD," Why did the soldiers give him vinegar and hyssop? Yes, it is bitter. The LORD said, " What are the medicinal uses of vinegar and hyssop?" 

The Medicinal Uses of Vinegar

Vinegar has been used for various medicinal purposes for centuries due to its potential health benefits. Some of the commonly cited medicinal uses of vinegar include:

1. Digestive Aid: Consuming vinegar, particularly apple cider vinegar, is believed to help with digestion by stimulating the production of stomach acids and enzymes. This may aid in the breakdown of food and improve nutrient absorption.

2. Blood Sugar Regulation: Some studies suggest that vinegar may help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, which could be beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition.

3. Antimicrobial Properties: Vinegar has been used traditionally as a disinfectant and antimicrobial agent. It may help inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and fungi, making it useful for cleaning wounds or treating minor skin infections.

4. Heart Health: Some research indicates that vinegar consumption may have beneficial effects on heart health, including lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, although more studies are needed to confirm these effects.

5. Relief for Sore Throat: Gargling with a diluted solution of vinegar and water may help soothe a sore throat by reducing inflammation and killing bacteria.

6. Relief for Sunburn: Applying a diluted solution of vinegar to sunburned skin may help soothe the irritation and reduce redness.

The Medicinal Uses for Hyssop

Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) is an herbaceous plant with a long history of medicinal use, particularly in traditional and folk medicine. Some of the potential medicinal uses of hyssop include:

1. Respiratory Support: Hyssop has expectorant properties, meaning it may help promote the expulsion of mucus from the respiratory tract. It has been traditionally used to relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions such as coughs, colds, bronchitis, and asthma.

2. Antimicrobial Activity: Hyssop contains compounds that exhibit antimicrobial properties, which may help inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It has been used topically to disinfect wounds and internally to combat infections.

3. Anti-inflammatory Effects: Hyssop contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in the body. It has been used to alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and sore muscles.

4. Immune Support: Some traditional uses of hyssop involve boosting the immune system to help the body fight off infections and illnesses. Its antioxidant properties may also contribute to overall immune health.

5. Mood Enhancement: Hyssop has been used in aromatherapy for its uplifting and calming effects on the mind and body. It is believed to help relieve stress, anxiety, and nervous tension when used in inhalation or massage blends.

6. Wound Healing: Due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, hyssop has been applied topically to promote wound healing and prevent infection. It may help clean wounds and soothe skin irritations.

7. Antioxidant Benefits: Hyssop contains antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Regular consumption of hyssop tea or extracts may contribute to overall health and well-being.

Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) is a herbaceous plant native to the Mediterranean region and parts of Asia. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family, which includes other aromatic herbs like mint, basil, and sage. Hyssop has been valued for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic properties for centuries. Here are some key points about hyssop:

8. Medicinal Uses: Hyssop has a long history of use in traditional medicine for various purposes. It is believed to have expectorant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties. Hyssop has been used to treat respiratory conditions such as coughs, colds, and bronchitis, as well as digestive issues like indigestion and gas. It has also been used topically to promote wound healing and soothe skin irritations.

9. Aromatic Properties: The essential oil of hyssop, extracted from the leaves and flowers, is highly aromatic and is used in aromatherapy for its uplifting and calming effects. It is believed to help relieve stress, anxiety, and nervous tension when diffused or applied topically in diluted form.

10. Cultural and Religious Significance: Hyssop has been mentioned in various religious texts and traditions throughout history. In the Bible, it is referenced in the Old Testament for its purifying properties, and in the New Testament, it is mentioned during the crucifixion of Jesus. Hyssop has been used in religious rituals, purification ceremonies, and as a symbol of cleansing and protection in different cultures.

Even though the vinegar and hyssop offered a bitter taste, they held potent medicinal properties that played a crucial role in the healing process of the Messiah while He hung upon the cross. Both substances possessed antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, serving to alleviate His suffering in the midst of immense pain and trauma. It is understood that by the time the Messiah was crucified, He had already endured the loss of a significant portion of His blood, and His flesh had been mercilessly torn apart. The brutality of such an ordeal would have rendered any ordinary human incapable of enduring even the initial scourging with the cat-o'-nine-tails. Yet, as He endured the excruciating torment upon the cross, He was administered herbs in the form of liquid and oil. These medicinal agents, with their antimicrobial properties, served to prevent the onset of infection and deter the ravaging effects of bugs and parasites upon His ravaged flesh. Truly, this revelation highlights the profound depths of divine mercy and providence amidst the harrowing crucifixion scene. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LORD! WHAT A REVELATION!!!!!!!

Despite the enemy's belief that victory was secured through his orchestrated actions against the Messiah, he was ultimately defeated. The Almighty intervened, steadfast in His care for His Son, ensuring that His divine purpose prevailed over all adversities.

IT IS FINISHED. John 19:30

When He gave up His spirit, He gave up all He did on this earth with His physical body. 

IT IS TIME TO SURRENDER YOUR WILL TO THE FATHER!

We are Back!!!

 I will be posting very soon as an extension of my ministry. I have a lot to say. God Bless everyone.
