God is good all the time…..
“For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” – Romans 8:6
I have been very emotional….
Not is a hormonal kinda way….
Not in an easy to offend kinda way….
Not in a quick to react kinda way….
Not in an irrational behavior kinda way ….
It a beautiful, joy filled kinda way….
I have this amazing peace about everything….
A peace that transcends all understanding….
A perfect peace….
Even though….
We are still under attack….
He is coming at me….
Through the judgement of others….
Still….
Perfect peace…..
The enemy does not like God’s plans for our life….
My children….
Under attack….
Still have an amazing peace about everything….
The Lord has such big plans for this family….
Plans to make a difference in the lives of others….
My Healed Wife has always made the claim….
The claim that she was raising world changers…..
She did…..
She still is…
I am trying to continue her legacy….
They have been raised to love the Lord….
They have been raised to love others….
They have been raised to serve….
They have been raised to not be a victim….
They have been raised as victors in Him….
They have been raised to choose joy….
To seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness….
To be more than conquerors ….
To be able to do all things through Him….
To give….
They have learned hope….
Love….
Joy…
Peace…
Patience….
Kindness….
Goodness….
Faithfulness…
Self control….
They have learned all this from her….
From her teaching them the Word….
From walking it out in her own life…..
People are watching them….
They always have….
They have always been a light….
A light in the darkness….
They shine of the love of Jesus….
They are a reflection of their mama…..
A reflection of her and her heart for Jesus….
I am better known….
As my children’s father….
Not as Kerry….
As their dad…..
Because of the light that shines….
So many know my children…..
I am just the guy that drives them around….
And that is ok….
That is the best encouragement a father could have….
A family that shines….
Shines because of Jesus in their hearts….
They are making a difference now…..
They are just getting started….
They have so much more to do….
The enemy is attacking from every angle…..
Trying to pull them down….
Trying to slow them down….
It is a spiritual battle….
He is attacking their minds….
Trying to get access to their thoughts….
Trying to pour insecurity….
Fear….
Doubt….
Worry….
All the lies he has….
He is dumping onto them….
They have on the armor of God….
The helmet of salvation…..
The understanding of His love….
That is what protects their minds….
That is the foundation she has helped to create….
The ability to protect their minds….
Protect themselves with His love….
If their mind are full of gratitude….
Full of the understanding of His love…..
The lies of the punk will not….
And cannot….
Roost in their minds….
The Word of God will cast out lies….
A mind filled with love….
Has no room for lies….
They are learning so much in this battle…..
Learning the authority they have….
They are getting stronger and stronger….
The enemy will be sorry he messed with this family….
My youngest….
He is 8….
He lights up a room when he enters…..
He wrote in his journal yesterday…..
He got all his d’s backwards….
Wrote them as b’s….
Misspelled a few words….
But his heartfelt note was powerful….
Made me cry….
Cry because I asked him to read it to me…..
He did….
He read it not with grief and sorrow….
Not as a victim…..
He read it as a victor….
He read it with joy….
He read it with hope….
He read it with peace….
Here are his words….
It was a hard process…
But we made it….
And our mom didn’t get to spend the rest of her life with us down on earth….
But we will get to see her in heaven….
That was his journal….
Those were his thoughts….
When he read it to me….
He added a line….
And we will see her soon….
Heartbreaking to read….
But as in many writings….
When it is read by the author….
It took on a whole new meaning….
It was filled with joy….
Filled with hope….
He gets it….
He is 8….
We made it….
It was tough….
But we made it….
And his mom is in heaven….
He read it with total victory…..
Smiling as he read it…..
The enemy is picking on them….
One at a time….
He is losing….
They are choosing to walk in the spirit….
They spend time in the flesh….
But just moments….
The flesh is a dark place if they stay there….
They choose to walk in the spirit….
The flesh is death….
The spirit is life…..
They are walking it out….
In front of my eyes…..
I am so proud of them….
I believe in them…..
I trust them…..
I love them…..
Just as He loves us……
We love….
Because He first loved us….
….. all the time God is good.
