Parker Inspirations

I am not talking about History and where we came from. I am talking about the things we have done wrong, that is under the blood. God said when we ask for forgiveness, He would forgive us and cast it into the deepest sea never to be remembered. Things that happened 22 years ago that have been confessed and given to God are part of the past that should stay in the past.

I was shocked to hear someone mention something that had happened 22 years ago. I also asked the question: Why would someone feel it necessary to bring up something from the past? Over the past two weeks many things have happened that could cause me to quit. I am not here for any other reason, except this is where God put me. God and only God can move me. I am reminded of a Hymn we use to sing when I was a child “I Shall Not Be Moved”. 

Last night the sermon was about strongholds that are built up in our lives. I believe this is a stronghold that is trying to be built. I just keep praying and letting go each time a new thing is said or done. I forgive them. I am trusting in the Lord and letting him lead the way. I am a sinner saved by Grace called to be a servant of the Lord.

I am learning that no matter what, there are always those who are looking for something. If we look long enough, we can find something. Anything can be turned into more that what is seen. Man looks on the outside. It is like the telephone game. They see something or hear something and take it and spin their own conclusion. Pastor preached a message, “I thought I knew You”. Only God knows who I am inside and out.

When people say things during a time they are upset or a situation comes in their life, I take into consideration who they are when this is not occurring. Or if someone says something that seems off, I ask them about it. Making assumptions is of our imagination. If someone’s actions are questionable, we should not assume that what we see or hear is the whole picture. Seek the truth. Pray for them. Do not get caught up in the drama the devil is building.

There are forces that are trying to get us to quit and leave. I want to serve the Lord and do what he has called me to do. I do not want to be a quitter. God put my husband and I here. God is the only one who can move us.
