I really do not know how to exactly relay what God is dealing with me about, what is happening to me at this very present moment, or actually really explain how I'm feeling. I know God will guide me as I write it down. I'm very aware that I need to place God first place in my life, and it starts by my being more rooted in the word. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
God talks to me, gives me visions, revelation, insight, wisdom and so forth. But the real thing is - what I seriously know [IS] - It's time to take it to the next level! I clearly understand and really desire to be living in THE BLESSING. I realize God has a master plan for my life...it's time for me to become the masterpiece! No more excuses. Satan is a liar, and I'll NOT continue to be deceived any longer! I'll no longer settle for just the crumbs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday was THE day that apparently God was not going to settle for just the crumbs either, dealing with me! The Lord strongly said, "Get in the word, NOW, put ME first place in your life." Okay, just like when your parents say something, and you know they're not playing around - you don't hesitate, and you speedily do whatever was asked of you, right? It was a moment like that.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So there I am sitting in a waiting room at a Doctor's office with many strangers. The majority of these strangers were murmuring and complaining. Literally they're in two rows, and like a domino effect, one complained, and then the next one, and then the next one, and so on. Everyone in the domino effect stated one or more of the following; every pain in their body, illnesses, claimed a sickness (ie: My diabetes), bad situations/experiences in their life, fears about this-or-that, worrying the worst will happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did not even stay seated. I actually got up, walked away, but not too far away. The opposite side of the wall, is where I stood in disbelief and ashamed before God. The Lord said, "Where is your bible April?" Reality really kicked in at that point. Later on when my co-worker and I were seated across from his Doctor--getting the report--again, a time I really wanted to shut Satan up and slap him with the word...I did not have to wait to hear God...I simply said, I know right? My bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At first I felt like crying during the drive back home, instead I prayed. Suddenly a warmth came over me. I felt a strong peace. God quickly opened my heart and poured in me a burning desire. My very soul, while in his presence, was still, I was speechless. Then there was a release, a liquid was spreading throughout my entire body. My body jerked with every heart beat, as this released-liquid strongly whipped through me, then bam! I felt a enormous strength stirring up in me. As this strength intensified, I could feel being rejuvenated! Right then, I believed I WILL do all things through Christ <span class="text Phil-4-13" id="en-NKJV-29456">who strengthens me.</span> Glory to God!!</div>
