5-25-08- We had a cool prayer session today! Daddy (I call God my Daddy.) was totally there! He told us many things. I don't even know where to begin. It was about giving up your freedom and living according to rules or legalism. I think the most important thing is to be lead by the Spirit of God. Once you start putting God in a man-made box, you lose everything. I had many questions about the future and what will become of me with all this tumor stuff. He said I WILL live and not die! It is surreal when you are told by a doctor something is going wrong inside your body, that you have no control over. I asked the doctor was it something I did, and she said no it was just bad luck. I personally don't believe in luck, but I do believe we have an enemy that tries to destroy anything God is doing. He (enemy) goes around causing disease, spreading lies, hurting people, and influencing people to do just about everything unimaginably painful to Gods children (by that I mean all people). The wonderful news in all this is that although Satan (enemy) has power, he does NOT have authority.  For instance, this week I had a client stand up for my honor when someone was trying to change her opinion of me by bearing a false witness, defaming, slandering, and just plain hating for jealousy reasons for over 2 years.(You'd think it would get old!) The person was being influenced by a demonic spirit. The spirit tried flattery at first, but God sees through all deception; He sees the TRUTH. My friend was so awesome! They could see right down to the persons soul and could tell who was really behind all of this. (TOO COOL, HUH!!?) Anywho, my friend was hedged in or protected by God and could tell what was doing on. So instead of being unpolite they simple said, "You should be more like Aketa, and I will pray for you and pay your tab! WOOOOOOOO! God got down to the nitty-gritty! I love all that my Father stands for; it is too cool!

Okay so the huge thing about this is that EVEN WHILE we are lost in sin, JESUS STILL, paid for our sins. While we are acting like fools God Still loves us and will pay our tab or sin to hopefully get back into a relationship with us. 

So where do you want to be found standing? You can't ride the fence. You are either for God or against. And don't try to say you don't 'believe this stuff'. God EXISTS whether you believe it or not. You still have to answer for your deeds and words. My problem is my words, sometimes I'm in constant repentence. But I would rather be in repentence than to be found separated from the Most High God. God loves all of His creations; He just doesn't like all of the things we do. I have to admit the above situation bothered me, for alittle why that day. But then I thought, why? When does the devil EVER tell the truth? When does the devil every do what is right? He always accuses! One of his names is the accuser of man. He goes to and fro from heaven accusing us before the throne of God. (No, Satan is not in hell.)

So then I thought why did it bother me? While in conversation with my spritual mother, she said it is your pride. I thought, great, another problem with me. But actually it is a good thing. God cared enough show me my faults so that I can work on being a better daughter. God disciplines the ones He loves, believe it or not. So I will try to work on my energy more, and not care what people say. People are always going to talk. They will bury themselves with their tongue. The tongue is dangerous. Who can tame it? Be careful what you say; I will too, because it has the potential to destroy you.
