From Brokenness To Blessing
Therefore this iniquity and guilt will be to you like a broken section of a high wall, bulging out and ready [at some distant day] to fall, whose crash will [then] come suddenly and swiftly in an instant.
(Isaiah 30:13)
When you and I make our own plans or run to other people instead of trusting in the Lord, we leave a weak spot in our wall of divine protection. At a time when we least expect it, the enemy will break through that weak spot. When that happens, we will indeed be like the "broken section of a high wall" mentioned in Isaiah 30:13.
God does not want us to have weak spots in our lives. He wants us to rely on Him and be obedient to Him so our "walls" will remain strong and thick and our lives will be blessed and full.
The more we depend on Bod, the more He can do through us. But sometimes we go through brokenness before we enter His blessings.
Once for about a year and a half, I thought I might be going mad. All day long I walked around in my house, praying, "Help me, Lord!" I did not even know what kind of help I needed, or why I needed it. Now as I look back on that experience, I know what was happening. God was breaking off my spirit of independence, and He was bringing me to the point where I knew I could do nothing apart from Him.
I remember one night as I was getting ready to go to sleep, I picked up a little book and started reading it. Suddenly I had a visitation from God. For about forty-five minutes I sat there on the edge of my bed and wept. Finally, the Lord spoke to me and said, "Anything good you do has nothing to do with you. I am the One Who is good. When you see yourself doing anything good, it is only because I have wrestled with you to get your flesh under subjection long enough to allow My glory to shine through it."
Sometimes before od can promote us, He has to remind us of our place, In my own case, my ministry was just about to experience a sudden growth spurt. God was preparing me in advance by telling me, "I'm going to do something marvelous in your life and ministry, and when it happens you must remember that it is I and not you who is bringing it to pass."
God was teaching me what He is teaching all of us today; He is the answer to all of our problems.

Is God Angry?
Hello there, this is my girl Joyce Meyer. She is a amazing teacher of the Word of God. I listen to her all the time. God speaks through her wonderfully. God spoke through her to me one early morning 8 years ago. He voice woke me up out of my sleep, because I had fell a sleep one night and did not turn off my TV. When God woke me up out of my sleep that morning 8 years ago, He touched my heart through Joyce Meyer's voice, and the rest is history. I gave me heart, mind, and soul over to God and I have not turned back sense. I am in with God to win it, I am going all the way with God. He is the Love of my life and He can be the Love of your life to if He is not already. I put God first in everything I think, say, and do. And so should you, and your life will become better and better in every way because you have involved God entirety and completely in your whole life. Do not do anything with out God involved. And please (STAY IN THE WORD OF GOD). Get your Bible and read the Word of God everyday to feed your soul. Do Not Give Up on GOD. He Love YOU!!!!
Please just take some time for yourself and send some time listing to the excellent Word of God. God and His Word will give you light in a dark place. And always remember God love you very much. And He just wants us all to love Him back.
May God bless you in all you do and everywhere you go.
Also I welcome you to follow my Positive Words Blog any time you are ready.
Much Love DeeDee
