WE ARE LIVING SCRIPTURE
I love how God has been maneuvering me in this assignment. It hadn't been the most comfortable experience, but then again, He predicted as much. And, though at times uncomfortable; still, so very beautiful.
Attributing it to stubbornness, I suppose, many people have asked me why I don't just go to another shelter, and at first my answer was always that I just didn't want to subject myself to people's unwarranted vengeance, now I realize that, though this time allowed to take a purse and some belongings with me, I had, unawarely, but correctly still been moving according to Jesus's initial instruction, which changeth not.
Mark 6:10-12 And He told them, Wherever you go into a house, stay there until you leave that place. And if any community will not receive and accept and welcome you, and they refuse to listen to you, when you depart, shake off the dust that is on your feet, for a testimony against them. Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the judgment day than for that town. So they went out and preached that men should repent [that they should change their minds for the better and heartily amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins].
Leaving the shelter was neither by my choice, nor my fault. GOD KNOWS.
So be it
The Holy Spirit's leading is such that, quite often I have found myself operating in certain ways and didn't understand why, only to have it revealed and/or confirmed scripturally, either in the midst thereof, or sometimes after the fact.
I keep speaking out, because first and foremost God has commanded me to do so; secondly, I believe that people should understand what the rituals they've chosen to operate in actually mean, and can render. Moreover, the excuse of not having heard will not be valid on my watch. Many of the practices being engaged now were done in the house during my first ensign assignment. This time, though the practices are the same; unfortunately, the intensity is far greater, which means the fall-out will be likewise, as predicted.
Before, in the first house, I was mischievously circled about even as I sat crocheting a shawl for one of the nuns. This time, again at the behest of wicked influencers, not only was I circled about in the shelter's cafeteria, which I had foreseen in a dream, now that I'm on the streets, people are actually circling me about in their cars, amid the mass of skyscrapers in downtown Houston, seemingly not understanding the consequences.
I have seen the ramification predicted by God, in vision, I have heard it in my ear, and it has been revealed and confirmed in scripture. Whereas the first scenario, as prophesied, resulted in the flood like this city had never before seen: This time, many of the incidents, in the afore mentioned dream, leading up to the current prophecy of God's prediction of massive winds, have already come to pass.
You cannot wrought a blessing from a vessel after casting onto the streets and trampling under foot; especially when that vessel is counted among "The least of these." Such actions provokes Godโs fury against a city.
Scripture says: You have made your sister cities look righteous in comparison.
It's just so sad to watch happen in my hometown.
