On Friday, February 26, 2021, Delvin “Champ” Adair, Jr. celebrated his precious 6 years on Earth. I BLESSED THE LORD!!!! He wanted a pajama party where we were going to eat shrimp but had wings instead. I was invited and was elated to be there. I love me some “Champ“. It is not because his birthdate is in the BEST MONTH, FEBRUARY and that he was born two days, (February 26th) before my birthdate WHICH IS TODAY, FEBRUARY 28TH. Champ, through his precociousness (in all things), PROVED that GOD LOVES HIM some me.
I will not rehash the story of HOW Champ not only PROVED the LOVE of GOD for me but HOW GOD REVEALED AND MANIFESTED HIMSELF through Champ. WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!!,WRONG!!!! COME ON THROUGH HOLY SPIRIT!!!! I was in a lot of pain and very scared about HOW my life would turn out-losing my job (Airways Achievement Academy) and as a result lose my home while under bankruptcy. JEHOVAH-JIREH
The LORD via Champ GAVE me HIS PEACE. As I would watch Champ sleep without a care or concern, the LORD would say to me, just as you are watching Champ, I AM and ALWAYS have been watching you. “…26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?…” (Matthew 6.26, KJV). JEHOVAH-SHALOM
The LORD via Champ PROVED HIS PROTECTION of me. As Champ began to become more mobile-twisting, crawling and LORD–Walking. He had to be watched FOR REAL, FOR REAL!!!! Champ was trying to CLIMB THE STAIRS and he could barely crawl. When he began to walk-barely walking-he did not want you holding his hand. I remember it was only a FEW days after Champ learned to “walk” on his own. He was TRYING to CLIMB THE STAIRS!!!!
Although he had the “ABILITY” to walk. He had NOT DEVELOPED ENOUGH to CLIMB THE STAIRS. I remember having to rush over to bring him back from the stairs (of course Champ resisted because he was ABLE to walk and KNEW that he could CLIMB THE STAIRS). Everyone, I mean everyone was put on notice to “WATCH” Champ. Doors were closed (he tried to open) so that he could not access stairs, protective gates (he tried to remove) were placed in front of the stairs and a lot of calories were burnt.
What I KNEW that Champ didn’t was that he had not developed enough to “CLIMB THE STAIRS“. His legs were not strong or long enough. He did not know that there were some things on the stairs that could cause him harm (shoes, books, exercise euipment). Even if he had gotten to the top of the stairs, it would put Champ in peril: Bedrooms with various and varied items, bathroom toilet, bathtub, the descend from the stairs.
I NOW THANK GOD that HE TOLD me NO!!!! Just Like Champ, I was moving toward dangerous situations that would have caused me harm and death!!!! BUT GOD!!!!. Like Champ, I didn’t stop trying to “CLIMB THE STAIRS“. I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT-SOMETHING wouldn’t LET me “CLIMB THE STAIRS“. Like Champ, I would not only get close to the STAIRS, I would have ALREADY stepped on the FIRST STAIR and just like Champ, I would not be PERMITTED to “CLIMB THE STAIRS“. I’M IN POSITION TO “CLIMB THE STAIRS” and JUST like Champ, SOMEONE (THE HOLY SPIRIT) would PICK ME UP and SAY with the UTMOST CARE, CONCERN AND POSSIBLE FRUSTRATION, “DON’T GO UP THOSE STAIRS”. Just like Champ, I WOULD CRY because I couldn’t “ClIMB THE STAIRS“. Just as I was PROTECTING Champ, the LORD was PROTECTING me. “…9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy way…” JEHOVAH SABAOTH
LOOK AT THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I think that much of my frustrations and being overwhelmed is that I am trying to “CLIMB THE STAIRS“. I AM STILL DEVELOPING IN SELF-CARE AND IT IS “MORE THAN OKAY TO SAY NO AREAS of my life. Eventhough or Although (you figure it out, I’m on a roll with my thoughts), I have decreed that I am taking care of myself and NOT going to be concerned with UNFINISHED projects, assignments, chores, etc... I am still trying to “CLIMB THE STAIRS” and get these things done AND THE HOLY SPIRIT via forgetting passwords, computers crashing, little to no energy is PICKING ME UP AND WON’T ALLOW ME TO “CLIMB THE STAIRS” . I, LIKE CHAMP, HAVE BEEN RESISTING AND THROWING TANTRUMS AND THE LORD IS PROTECTING ME FROM DANGERS SEEN AND UNSEEN. THE IMPACT ON MY HEALTH THAT EFFECTS EVERYTHING, MOST DEFINITELY HIS GLORY AS HE PROSPERS ME.
UNLIKE CHAMP (HE WAS A BABY) , I WILL STOP TRYING TO “CLIMB THE STAIRS“. I KNOW THAT WHEN I HAVE DEVELOPED PROPERLY THE LORD WILL REMOVE ALL BARRIERS (BABY GATES) AND I WILL NOT ONLY BE ABLE TO “CLIMB THE STAIRS“, I WILL BE ABLE TO THRIVE “UPSTAIRS” VIA MY HEALTH: SPIRITUAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL.
LORD THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVELATION AND MANIFESTATION THROUGH CHAMP.
THIS IS WHY I BOLDLY DECLARE…..
…Nothing will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS…..”
