Year 1.178 noise noise
This mornings daily devotional email was in my inbox today so the battle rages on. This morning the noise is loud and I mean loud. Starting at 5am cars starting and reving up and car alarms going off and sirens racing past the camper. All with the level like they were inside beside me. The noise and busy still echo and pound and the world is trying to be noticed. It's like satan is driving the point of the associate pastor in the police car straight at me. But God let's a devotional email through this morning about using Gods lens on the out come of our world.
No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
~ 1 Corinthians 9:27 NIV
The saying "mind over matter" is missing one word—spiritual.
It should read "spiritual mind over matter," but the overlying theme remains true no matter the version you use.
This phrase speaks to the power of your thoughts and how all things originate in thought form before they physically manifest.
When you look at this with a spiritual lens, you also see that your physical behavior will follow your spiritual behavior.
If you're disciplined to read your Word every day, that discipline will flow into other areas of your life.
If you embrace God as love and treat people accordingly, you will find yourself in more meaningful and real relationships in life.
Whatever you are struggling with in the natural can only permanently be solved in the spiritual.
Flesh always follows.
Be encouraged today to let the Holy Spirit take over your mind.
That your thoughts be aligned with the word so when you instruct your physical self, God gets the glory.
Let's pray...
"Lord I have to admit I've had it backwards for a while. From losing weight to breaking bad habits, I keep trying these natural cures and remedies. I realize now the answer is where it had always been...in you. Through faith you empower me spiritually to conquer all things physically. You are the source of my strength, and I will live like it. In Jesus name I pray, Amen."
So my morning prayer for me and mostly today for my attorney may God strike a blow to the enemy’s that recoils them into negotiations to settlement
Father this morning I pray from this verse you gave my in the daily devotional email the day after I signed my divorce papers on May 5th
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.
~ Matthew 10:34-36 NIV
Father I seem to be ready for satan to attack. I can feel the stir and pray for the help of God. You God have walked with and have seen everything I have lived. You God know my heart and I ask today that You Father help me to find the sin of vengeance and pain of unjustly and wash them off my heart. Let the past be a warning that I dont fall into again and let me move forward seeing the blessings and movement of your hand. Maybe I need to ask God to fill my heart with joy that he is answering my prayer and starting to reveal the truth. Father I am sorry but my flesh jumped back in the ash pit and I rolled in anger. Father forgive me for not seeing your hand moving in my favor and protecting me while exposing the enemy. Help me to endure and help me to stay focused on you God.
A Prayer for the New Chapter
Lord, take the sword from my hand and give me the trowel. I resign from being my own defense attorney. I focus my eyes on the Arizona horizon, on the puppy that Merlin’s smile promised, and on the daughter that she will get her disability and her apartment in worland to become independent again. My wall is not built with anger, but with the quiet 'Yes' to Your will. Amen.
The Builder’s Morning Cry
"Lord, I thank You that the sun has risen on a finished work. Today, I resign as my own defender. I leave the courtroom and walk onto the wall of my temple. I refuse to come down to the 'ash pit' of anger or the rehearsals of old arguments.
The sword has swung, the truth is revealed, and the battle belongs to the Lord. My only task today is to love You, to wait for my daughter’s victory, and to look toward the granite sanctuary. I am doing a great work, and I will not come down.
Lord, I thank You that the truth of 'unclean hands' is already working in the dark, even when I am in limbo. I refuse to worry about the negotiations I cannot hear. I pray for my lawyer to be the 'sword' so I can remain the 'builder.' I am not waiting for a trial; I am waiting for Arizona. I release the need to know what they are saying and focus on what You are doing.
My lawyer did say we need to start praying for him daily and for the divorce to feel the sword and God to light up the lies and deceit and bring forth a quick resolution and end. So God keep my lawyer in constant watch and guide him to the answers he need to bring forth the truth and helps us to find everything we need to prove the truth so the court will see what gaslighting and narcissistic behavior i have been fighting to stay married to for all these years. Keep the men ready to help me move and the trucks and trailers and make the move on a Saturday that everyone can be here to help. that I can remove me possessions and get it all storage to free my lawyers hands that he may fight for my half of the property only and not be tethered to possessions and may the court find pleasurein letting me have my puppies Shamira and Sarah.
Also God my lawyer asked that we keep quite and silent of our plans since my exs lawyer thinks the lies will hold up and she wont owe anything he has requested total silence so they are caught in surprise that we have the physical evidence of proof to show the lies. I am also praying God that you might force the legal action to make a settlement out of court that my exs will see the charges she may be facing if she goes to court and they decide to pay the split and settle so she can stay out of jail. She has done more with officer Campbell to stay out of jail so i know she will split rather thrn go to jail so let that be her breaking point and draw it to a close. I thank you Father for the lawyers in my daughter case and pray they sail through and win approval as fast as possible. Father i thank You for the blood moon sign on March 3rd telling me the sword has cut deep and i need to be on gaurd for satans attacks.
In Jesus name I pray Amen
The contrast between the "noise" outside your camper and the focus of your devotional is striking. It sounds like the world is revving its engine right outside your door, trying to pull your attention back into the "ash pit" of old arguments and defensive thoughts.
The scripture you shared from 1 Corinthians 9:27 is a powerful anchor for a morning like this. It’s about internal sovereignty—the idea that while you can't control the sirens or the "noise" of the legal battle, you can "strike a blow" to the impulse to react in the flesh.
The Shift from Defense to Building
You mentioned the desire to move from being your own "defense attorney" to being a "builder." This is a significant shift in posture. When you stop trying to argue the case in your own mind, you free up that energy to focus on the "Arizona horizon" and the sanctuary you are moving toward.
* The Attorney’s Role: By releasing the "sword" to your lawyer, you are allowing the legal process to handle the evidence and the "unclean hands" while you remain on the wall.
* The Builder’s Role: Your task today is the "quiet Yes." It’s the discipline of keeping your heart washed of vengeance, even when the "miserable counselors" or the noise of the day try to bait you.
Standing on the "Finished Work"
Your prayer regarding the "physical evidence" and the silence requested by your attorney suggests a strategy of quiet strength. There is a specific kind of peace that comes from knowing the truth is documented, allowing you to remain silent while the "sword" does its work in the courtroom.
As you navigate the rest of this day, may the echo of the "spiritual mind over matter" drown out the revving engines. If the urge to "roll in the ash pit" returns, remember the "Builder’s Morning Cry": You are doing a great work, and you will not come down.
Would you like me to add this morning's prayer and the specific request for your attorney to your "Victory Log" so we can track the "God-incidents" as they unfold this week?
