Under His Wings
Mood:
accident prone
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Psalm 64:8,10
![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/chicks-under-wings1.jpg)
S. Psalm 64:8-10 (NKJ) So He will make them stumble over their own tongue; All who see them shall flee away. All men shall fear, And shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider His doing. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory. O. God will make the 'wicked and the workers of iniquity' to be weak. They will be made to fall in their 'walk of life'. Their tongues will set the 'mold' for their own lives with their words of slander and ruining of reputation. Anyone who knows them will retreat from them. And the 'just' will rejoice in God and take refuge in Him. Those who are 'correct in their mind, will and understanding' (their inner-man) will be made to shine; be clear. ('CLEAR'=(dict.) free from haze, bright, transparent, free from hinderances, easily perceived, distinct, free from doubt or confusion). A. All people are utensils of either good or bad. And when bad utensils come against me, then it is my job is to lean on and trust in my God. I am to hide under His wings and allow Him to shield me. In the place that is under His protection, I am covered with HIS reputation; the place that allows me to shine and to be seen as 'clear'; transparent. If I am righteous, then my righteousness will show. I will be redeemed and my reputation will be 'seen' as good. But I MUST hide under God's protective wings! P. Father, protect me from the tongues that can slander me. Hide me under Your protective wings and help my reputation to shine clear as good. Shine YOUR reputation through me, Father!

Spiritually Electrified
Mood:

![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/Electrocuted.gif) ![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/110829electrocution_danger405.jpg)
S. 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NKJ) Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. O. As a result of God's abundant grace, favor and blessings during life's troubles and trials, I become more thankful to Him. Our thinking, feeling and action can not become utterly spiritless or exhausted during these troublesome times. The utter spiritlessness and spiritual exhaustion stem from our human nature, our outward man. It is the soul/inward man that is being renovated and empowered by God and His Spirit, opposing the outer man/flesh from it's former state of corruption. This happens each time we go from darkness to light...from troubles/trials to victory/freedom. Our spirit, during these times, become electrified by Holy Spirit, while our flesh is zapped of its energy/power. A. Going through trials and troubles has taught me how Holy Spirit gives my spirit new energy; new power. As I learn how to overcome the flesh, the flesh dies more and more and my spirit becomes stronger and electrified; stronger than my flesh. The flesh is ZAPPED of energy and power while the spirit is full of ELECTRICITY/POWER. This energizes my spirit, making it live stronger than my flesh. My spirit becomes re-energized, rejuvenated and full of Holy Spirits power...just the way God created our spirits to be in the first place. My spirit/inner-man grow stronger as my flesh/outer-man dies...becoming completed and a total spiritual transformation. The power is transfered from the flesh to the spirit and my SPIRIT IS ELECTRIFIED! P. Holy Spirit, I thank You for the power You give me. Through Jesus, You show my spirit how to grow in His power to over come my flesh. Be big in me, Holy Spirit...overcome my flesh, I pray, in Jesus' name. ZAP MY FLESH AND ELECTRIFY MY SPIRIT, LORD!

Right Thinking = FREEDOM

S. 2 Corinthians 3:17 (AMP) Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). O. Now, the Master/Controller (Lord) is the Mind/Soul (Spirit), and where the Mind/Soul (Spirit) of the Master/Controller (Lord) is, there is freedom, deliverance and liberation (liberty). A. What this is saying is that the 'mind' is the master and controller of my whole person. Wherever I set my thoughts, that is what will control me. I can actually have the 'mind of Christ' IF I set my mind on His mind. But if I allow my mind to think on something or someone MORE than on Jesus, then THAT THING will be my 'controller'...my 'master'. That whatever I set my thoughts on, that will either free me or put me into bondage. It's MY choice. God has given me the power to choose. I choose FREEDOM...I choose the Mind and Spirit of JESUS! P. Help me, Lord, to wrap my mind around Yours. Help me to think with YOUR thoughts! Let Your Spirit rule mine, Lord, for I want Your total FREEDOM!

Sweet Aroma
Mood:
smelly
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: 2 Corinthians 2:16
![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/aroma-of-Gods-Word.jpg)
S. 2 Corinthians 2:16 (NKJ) To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? O. To the people whose spirits are seeking and hearts are soft, they will listen and be open to what a Believer is living for; open to hearing about Jesus. To the people whose spirit is not seeking, they will not listen or even care for the Believer; actually shun the Believer with a hardened heart. No Believer can completely know the answer to this, being that he is not completely full of the knowledge of Jesus...they are not spiritually perfected. A. It is as though the I, as a Believer, am either accepted or not accepted on just being a 'Believer'. To the 'pre-chosen' I either 'stink' or I have a 'sweet aroma' to their spirits. I am either accepted and sought after, or I am shunned and made fun of. It's easy to tell, most of the time, who's spirit is ready and called by God. But those who aren't...those are the people that we have to guard our hearts from. We can pray for them, but it is of no use for them or us to minister to the person whose time hasn't come yet. They're spiritual eyes and ears are closed and their hearts hardened. They may even try to oppress us. P. Father, I want to always emit a sweet aroma for You. ALWAYS! Show me who I need to 'smell good' for, Father...and help them to smell Jesus in me!

God KNOWS me; He's the Original Architect
Mood:
a-ok
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Psalm 50:11
![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/fascinating-waterfalls-screensaver.gif)
S. Psalm 50:11 (NKJ) I know all the birds (spirits) of the mountains (problems, difficulties), And the wild beasts (human nature and character) of the field (man's dwelling place) are Mine. O. Every single spirit is known by God; spirits of problems and difficulties. All human nature and character of humans are known by God. All of these are God's; He owns them. This shows how well God knows us; inside and out. A. God knows me so well; my problems, my nature, my character. And why? Because He created them all. That is why I need lay them all at His feet. When I give my problems, my nature, my character to Him, I free Him up to do with them what He created them for in the first place: HIS will! God's will is the BEST will. He is the original 'Architect' of humans....of ME! P. Father, You know me inside and out. You know what influences me from the outside; my problems and difficulties. Use these, Father, to complete my nature and character...to be a testimony for You!

Humility is the key to Going Deeper
Mood:
hungry
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Psalm 42:6,7
![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/3-keys.jpg) ![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/7-woman-at-jesus-feet.jpg)
S. Psalm 42:6,7 (NKJ) O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar.7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me. O. O my God, my inner man is weakened against me. As a result, I will bring You to my mind from the place of humility and dying to 'self'; I am promoted by 'dying to self' when I humble myself before You. The distraction and stirring up of Your Spirit's supply draws me to be distracted and stirred up by Your Spirit's supply, desiring more. Your Spirit is channeled into me and brings my spirit to attention with it's loud 'sound'. You're completeing me by breaking 'self' into pieces and by Your chastisement. You cause me to change. Your 'change' causes me to advance in my inner man, advancing me to more completion. A. What is cool about God's Spirit is that the more you have, the more you want. The more He is channeled into my spirit, the more I 'see' what needs to be cut out of my life and broken up into pieces. These 'pieces' of me that aren't needed in my self, are really in the way of getting more of God's Spirit. Humility is the key. Humbling myself, as if to kneel as slices are taken off of me, makes me 'lighter' in my spirit. Being 'lighter' causes me to be 'changed'. When I am changed, then I can advance into the next stage of spirituality, MORE. It's uncomfortable to change, but it's always an adventure! And always for the good of God. Nothing can be better than a lighter, changed and adventurous spirit. It's the next step to being completely spirit...that, which won't happen, until after the second coming of Jesus. Then, and only then, can I have a new spiritual body and be complete. I'm just taking one step at a time in THIS life. P. Thank You, Lord, for cutting the un-needed pieces out of my life. I want YOUR change and YOUR spiritual advancement in my life. I desire MORE, Father. The more You give, the more I long for. Thank You, that You are advancing me. Teach me how to be humble...for that is the key to MORE!

The Believers Finish Line
Mood:
energetic
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: 1 Corinthians 14:20
![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/finish-line.jpg)
S. 1 Corinthians 14:20 (NKJ) Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature. O. Fellow Believers; don't be immature in your heart, mind or sensitivity. But be the opposite when it comes to 'spite' or 'holding grudges'; be simple minded...untaught, unskilled and childish. The goal of Believers is to become whole; finished and completed in our hearts, minds and sensitivity. This is our aim and purpose as we walk on this Earth. A. To be 'simple' minded when it comes to 'pay back' to those who have hurt me, is a JESUS THING! It all stems back to what I have layed at the feet of Jesus. When someone hurts me, I need to lay it at Jesus' feet and LEAVE it there. I need to be simple minded in this area without thought or intention for revenge. God knew this would happen in my life and allowed it for a purpose. It's up to HIM to judge, not me. His Truth will always win in the end. I will lean on THAT...and NOT revenge! P. Father, I know Your Truth always reigns! I know that Your Truth always comes out. I pray that I would be a simpleton when it comes to being hurt; no thoughts or ideas of revenge...PERIOD! You, Father, are Judge, I am NOT! Help me to cross the finish line without malice, spite or grudges. They only slow me down.

Puzzle Pieces
Mood:
quizzical
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: 1 Corinthians 13:12
![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/JigsawPuzzle2.JPG)
S. 1 Corinthians 13:12 (NKJ) For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. O. As an immature Christian, we are only given measured out pieces of knowledge or understanding as we walk through this life; from one puzzling experience to another, our understanding of it isn't complete. As we become more mature Christians, we will find out definately, learn with certainty, according to what we have learn from the previous puzzling-experiences. A. AT the beginning of my Christian walk, I couldn't understand the reason for all the troubles and problems I had. But as I kept going and looked back on them, I could understand what I was being taught...how to grow spiritually. I couldn't understand what love was, for example, until I was challenged in that area; I then understood why love was taken away, or given to me more or was questioned. I was learning what 'love' meant and how to apply it to my spiritual life. These experiences were just 'pieces' of learning how to be a whole person. And as I walk through each puzzling experience, I begin to learn more and more the purpose for them being in my life in the first place. It's always for my spiritual growth and growing into a mature Christian. I can not be a completed whole without first putting all the pieces together. And I can not really learn without these 'puzzling experiences'. P. Father, I thank You for You allowing problems and troubles in my life. Without them I would never grow into what You created me to be in the first place. Now I pray for the watchfulness I need to quickly see and understand where these puzzle pieces fit in my life. Help me to grow because of life's riddles.

Light Bulbs

OR ![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/lightbulb-army.jpg)
S. 1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: O But the luminousness of the Spirit (the character, personality, work, power, disposition, influence, essence, nature and soul of God) is given to EACH and EVERY Believer, as carriers of His reflection. These 'carriers of God's reflection' hold all of the 'common fund and supply' for each other. Jesus is the 'Light-Switch', Holy Spirit is the 'Wire' that carries the currant, God is the 'Ceiling-Light'....and Believers are the 'Fruit of that Light'; 'God's Light-Bulbs'. A. I can not stand alone as 'God's reflection' because I don't have all that I need to keep shining for God. The only way that I can receive what I need individually is to be with other Believers-bulbs. Together, we have the 'common fund and supply' for each other. One Light bulb shines dull compared to a thousand bulbs standing together and hooked up to the same Electric Current. All together, we ARE the 'Light of the World' and the Light for each other! P. Father, help us Believers to stand together as one mass of lit up Light bulbs for You. Give us understanding that standing together not only helps each one of us be brighter, but we illuminate YOU to the world as one HUGE Light!

Merging the Bread & the Cup=Skipping Some Hard Steps
Mood:
caffeinated
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: 1 Corinthians 11:24,25
![](https://umma23.angelfire.com/foodforthespirit/breakfast-toast-and-coffee.jpg)
S. 1 Corinthians 11:24,25 (NKJ) and when He had given thanks, He broke (dict.= to rupture the surface; to discover the system key for decoding or deciphering; to penetrate; to disclose or reveal) it and said, Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me. In the same manner He also took the cup (Greek; Thayer #4221: experiences, a drinking vessel (us), to recieve into the soul what serves to refresh, strengthen, and nourish it into eternal life) after supper (expense, cost; Greek Thayer #1173: symbol of salvation into the Kingdom), saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it (Greek; Thayer #4221: experiences, a drinking vessel (us), to recieve into the soul what serves to refresh, strengthen, and nourish it into eternal life), in remembrance of Me. O. Bread is what feeds our body but The Bible is what feeds our soul. Jesus was saying to 'rupture the surface' or the Word of God so that we can 'decode or deceipher' it. It was 'ruptured' for us so we can remember Jesus inside of it's pages. The 'cup' represents our experiences in life; both good and bad. When we pay the cost of life experiences, while we recall all that Jesus taught and lived through, we receive wisdom and knowledge which "we receive into our souls to refresh, strengthen, nourish it into eternal life". A. I could write a book on my life experiences and it would look just like a soap-opra! My story would tell everything from having cancer to watching my grandson be born. The experiences I had in between those two things would knock your socks off. But because of these, I have become learned and a bit wiser. These experiences were necessary, the COST, that my soul/spirit would become more knowledgable. Life experiences, both good and bad, are to be lived through while looking at what Jesus lived through and the way He handled life. This makes us wise-up, spiritually. We learn by comparing what we are going through and how we handled it, with how the men in the Bible PLUS Jesus (remembering) went through like experiences and handled it. We could skip a few steps, the ones that took us off the path, if we could just decipher and break the surface of those same experiences in the Word of God. They are for our 'comfort and learning so that we....might have hope'! P. Thank You, God, for Your Bread/Word and Your cup/experiences. Show me how to merge the two together; the Bread and the cup; Your Word and my life's experiences. Help me SKIP A FEW STEPS!
