Today’s title is borrowed from the PRAISE and WORSHIP of a person I know (I can’t remember her name). She and I attended First Baptist-Broad where when the HOLY SPIRIT would speak to her whether it was during the call to WORSHIP, devotion, PRAISE and WORSHIP, during the WORD being brought forth, She would declare I KNOW!!!!! I KNOW!!!!! I KNOW!!!!!
I NOW KNOW what she meant AND WHAT IT MEANS!!!!! For the past several weeks, I have been living and life is happening. And as life is happening and unlike many, I honestly, truly without shame admit that I am overwhelmed. My admission of being overwhelmed is not to garner sympathy. I am most definitely not sending out invitations for a pity-party (If I wanted one, HE WILL NOT allow me to have one. In the words of Anita Baker “…NO MORE TEARS…”).
Many times I did not verbally state that I was overwhelmed, but those who know me could see it. I knew AND KNOW it. My temperament has changed (working on that as I type), my attention to detail changed, my zeal for certain things waned. IN THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, I HAVE BEEN PRAYING, BUT I DID NOT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO PRAY FOR. I HAD ALREADY GIVEN ALL AND I DO MEAN ALL OF MY CONCERNS OVER TO THE LORD. I ASKED HIM TO SEARCH ME AND FIND AND REMOVE ANY AND ALL THINGS THAT WAS PREVENTING ME FROM BEING FAULTLESS IN HIS PRESENCE (QUOTING THE JACKSON FIVE “…GOTTA BE THERE….) I DID NOT THINK AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I AM BEING PUNISHED. I AM LEARNING THAT THE ENEMY ATTACKS AS WE GET CLOSER TO OUR PROMISES. I DID NOT ASK HIM TO MAKE ANY OF WHAT I AM DEALING WITH TO GO AWAY OR STOP. I ASKED HIM TO TEACH AND SHOW ME HOW TO GLORIFY HIM IN MY OVERWHELMNESS (NEW WORD).
LET the record show and reflect that I AM OVERWHELMED, BUT NOT DISCOURAGED OR DISMAYED. QUOTING my sister in CHRIST (from First Baptist-Broad) AND MOST DEFINITELY DECLARING AND DECREEING, I KNOW!!!!! I KNOW!!!!! I KNOW!!!!!
I KNOW THAT JESUS CARES!!!!! I KNOW THAT JESUS WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE ME!!!!! I KNOW THAT JESUS IS CARRYING ME!!!!! I KNOW THAT GOD’S GLORY IS AND WILL BE REVEALED IN ME AND MY FAMILY!!!!! I KNOW THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT INTERCEDES ON MY BEHALF!!!!! I KNOW THAT I MUST HONOR GOD IN EVERYTHING AND ESPECIALLY IN MY OVERWHELMNESS (Philippians 1:6- “…Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that HE which hath BEGUN A GOOD WORK in you WILL PERFORM it until the day of JESUS CHRIST...”)!!!!!AGAIN, QUOTING Apostle Paul AND my sister IN CHRIST from First Baptist-Broad “I KNOW!!!!!! I KNOW!!!!! I KNOW!!!!! I KNOW!!!!!
BLESS THE LORD BECAUSE I KNOW!!!!! I KNOW!!!!! I KNOW!!!!! THAT
“…NOTHING will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is CHRIST JESUS…”
