Here I am again...

-

The title says it all. I go through seasons of pulling away from the Lord.  When I pull away, I pull back from everything...Praying, reading and studying, my devotions, church, work, I withdraw and drop everything. I do not know why I do it. I think the old saying is true, "If you give the devil an inch, he takes a foot." Literally you cannot give any place to satan in your heart and even life. 

Tonight, for some reason I feel the Presence of the Holy Spirit wooing me so strongly that I drop everything. I stop searching for something I can never find without God leading me.  My mind is so clear right now at 2:45 am Friday morning, and I feel inspired to write this posting.

In the past I have pulled away from relationships and put up permanent walls. I regret that. All I can think right now is that divorce is in my family generational line.  Maybe that is where this all is rooted.  I apologize for anyone I have pulled away from. Relationships take work, they are not all the time easy. I wish I have realized that alone time ago. If I have hurt you, I am very sorry.

Now it's time to get back where I need to be and stay...There is nothing I can do about the wrong choices I have made. They are in the past and I can't fix that now. The only thing I can do is move forward and not dwell on past mistakes.

The devil likes to put condemnation on me so that that is all I see... He likes to rub guilt and shame all over my soul. He wants to destroy me.  I am here to tell you my enemy the devil, is NOT in control.   Jesus Christ has given us the complete authority over the devil. Be gone in Jesus' name!!!!

Maybe you can relate to what I am writing? If so, just know that the Lord Jesus is with you now. I pray that HE woos you with His Holy Spirit as you are reading this.

He anointed my head with oil, my cup overflows! 

Grace and Peace,

Rich

I always see a flower before it blooms.                               Richard T Hicks 2020 I was not always like that.  Why and exactly how in the world did my perspective change over the years? I used to be completely opposite.  I was a Norman Negative and Pessimistic Peter. You name it, I was it. I seen the glass half empty never half full. I was a constant worrier about the future and lived in the past. It was as if everyday was a drudgery.   All I could see before me as all my mistakes I had made in my life. All I seen in the mirror was one big mistake. It is as if I lived mistake after mistake. I felt like a scratched up record that could not be fixed.   Before I fell asleep at night not only did my mind replay the negative from that day but it was like it domino'ed a past of bad negative choices I had made in life surfaced....  I wanted to die but was afraid to...  It would keep me up for hours tormenting my mind..... I don't really think I am the only

Dear Jesus I just want to take the time to say I appreciated all you have done for me through your sacrificial death on that dark and cruel cross.   You didn’t have to do it… but you did.   It makes me sad that you had to die to make this all possible…but you did it without hesitation.  All my love and life I owe to You… Thank you ABBA for your grace and mercy poured out upon all people on this earth.   Draw them and give them a revelation of your divine glory.  For you gave your only son.   I am so grateful to you for redeeming me so I wouldn’t have to die.   For Jesus has already been on that cross and already experienced my destruction in the grave.  He already died once for all creation.   For in Adam we have died already, but through Christ we have been made alive through that glorious resurrection by the power of your Holy Spirit.   Yes God has already done it all through the power of His Spirit.    For He has already seated us in heavenly places in Jesus.   He has given us a hop

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
