Walking Through The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death

Throughout my life, there have been many times when I walked through the valley of the shadow of death. However, my very first recollection was at age 13 when I found myself struggling to survive as a runaway on the streets of South Central Los Angeles.

I remember that night as if it were yesterday. It had been a long day of walking, hunger, and thirst, when I suddenly found myself standing under a street light and reciting these words, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, your rod, and staff will comfort me, surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. The strange thing about reciting this verse was that I had never heard it before, and did not know where it came from. The only thing I knew is that it brought me comfort and I was no longer afraid. Now that I am in Christ I understand what it means and why the Holy Spirit had me recite it. He was honoring the prayers of my grandmothers who were vigilantly holding on to me through intercession. It would have been nice to be able to say that night was the beautiful beginning to an unhappy ending but that was not to be the case, my journey into that valley of the shadow of death was just beginning.

Are You Ready For Battle?

We sense by the sensitive power of the Holy Spirit and we understand by the intellectual power. But "that by which we first sense and understand" is the soul, Therefore the soul is its own power. Which consist of the mind, will, and emotions.

Today we should exercise our faculties, such as our mind, emotion, and will, to work In the power of the Holy Spirit. We should not try to release the latent power of the flesh that lies dormant within us. The mind, emotion, and will are man’s original psychological organs; But man has to use them for the glory of God. If a man does not use these soul components for the glory of God, the evil one will use them to his advantage. Instead, lay down the weapons of the world and the flesh and pick up your spiritual weapons according to 2 Corinthians 10:4 NIV

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 

We have to demolish spiritual strongholds before we can demolish the physical strongholds that oppose us through the world the flesh and the devil. We can no longer claim ignorance of satans devices.

Habakkuk 2:2

And the LORD answered me and said, Write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may run that reads it.

If you feel the pain of a lost childhood write a letter to yourself and tell your inner child about yourself and your life. Take her on outings, give her treats and lavish on that child all the care, attention and love you feel you did not receive when you were a child. The suffering will diminish and you will experience a transformation; your relationships with co-workers, friends, and family will start to change, and your fears of the past and anxieties about the future will not have the same force. When you notice improvements tell your inner child, “Thank you for being with me. It makes me so happy,” as being with her on the healing journey brings happiness.

The Greatest Question Known o Man.

One of the most common questions known to man is who am I and what was I created for. The first question is easy to answer so I will deal with the second one, what was I created for? Generally, we were created to be an extension of God and His purpose so he created us in such a way that would bring Him the greatest honor and glory. We each have a part to play in His grand scheme of things and that starts at the moment of conception. We all are acutely aware of the gifts and talents God has provided us with, along with our strengths and weaknesses which make up a vital part of our innermost being. There are times where we subconsciously operate in our divine purpose without being fully aware of what we are truly capable of due to the divine impartation we received before the foundation of the earth. Gods gifts are without repentance. It is up to the individual as to whose honor and glory it is used for. Writing your story is no different. Your personal story can impact and be a blessing to many people. It is up to you to seize the opportunity by taking pen and paper in hand thereby, blessing the world with the gift you have been given.

Psalm 139:3-6 The Passion Translation (TPT)

3–4 You are so intimately aware of me, Lord.
    You read my heart like an open book
    and you know all the words I’m about to speak
    before I even start a sentence!
    You know every step I will take before my journey even begins.
5 You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way,
    and in kindness, you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past
.[a]
    With your hand of love upon my life,
    you impart a blessing to me.
6 This is just too wonderful, deep, and incomprehensible!
    Your understanding of me brings me wonder and strength.[b]
