How does one continue to stand against thousands (millions) alone?
I find myself seeking verses i use to know by heart-My favorite Psalms, the Armor of Elohim
And i can feel them!
Melting the bitterness, the stress, the anger, the frustration away!
I tear up reading/speaking Psalm 17, verse 1 hits me (fortifies my heart as i am typing this! Hallelujah!)
1 Hear a just cause, O Lord, give heed to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
And verse 3-
3 You have tried my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have tested me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress
Instead of defending myself under attack (harrassed, lied upon, betrayed, vilified…(by a multitude or just by someone who was close to me)
I whisper these verses…
Psalm 17 is a Prayer for Protection from Oppressors
(Someone was just sitting nearby me-heavy with…negativity, aimed in my direction- i began praying for Elohim’s Protection…My Husband , Yesuah, My Provider, My Best Friend, The Holy Spirit…& then i moved on to my favorite Psalms, starting with Psalm 23, i even did the Armor of Elohim
2 Psalms in the person moved quickly , removing focus on me!
It worked!
I apologize Lord for every other way, besides this, that i have tried!
No need to respond (it is a trap anyway)
No need to argue or state the truth
Just continue repeating verses that resound in you!
(If none do, then i recommend you ask Elohim/Yesuah for help with that too)
Tears come up when i read Psalm 17 verse –
4 As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips, I have kept from the paths of the violent.
(Choosing NOT to argue or defend oneself in any way? Is choosing a non violent path! (For me any way- for the demons tend to get more violent when nothing they do/say stops you from clinging to Yesuah/Elohim!)
And verses-
9 From the wicked who despoil me,
My deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They have closed their unfeeling heart, With their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground
12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in hiding places.
13 Arise, O Lord, confront him, bring him low; Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,
14 From men with Your hand, O Lord, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;They are satisfied with children, And leave their abundance to their babes.
15 As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.
Psalm 119:129-136 is next after Psalm 17 (my favorite Psalms)
Cause i despair at not memorizing all of these!
Yet,
While writing this post (harrassed by the Coughing Brigade)
I kept repeating the verse in the pic below
And…
The coughing stopped?!
Ignoring it, helps here in DC (not NYC)
I find myself desiring to commit violence on those who continually harass unmercifully and…
Try getting away from thousands! Millions! Of People!
Only to find the harassment is everywhere?
From seemingly unconnected people?
The other things work, temporarily
None have made me feel at peace inside like repeating these verses!
I also believe that i am READY for them to work!
Having tried EVERYTHING else!
I reached acute despair
Several times!
In Christ?! 😲
How? WHY?!
Thou art My Hope!
So WHAT IS WRONG?!
Hopeless?
He, Elohim kept trying to reach me thru such darkness
And…
I was afraid to really go there!
Afraid i wouldn’t come back!
Yet i realized that too, was NOT trusting Elohim (Yesuah), the Holy Spirit!
Ok! Breathe, Aneesah! Breathe!
This was a lost depth, i had never been to, IN Christ!
Yet, i do trust Him! So i got well and truly dark!
I again did not try to ‘save’ myself! To do those things i learned, to bring me out! And up!
Plus! They weren’t working!
Apathy had me hard!
(Living around evil? I wanted to die!)
I had reached my limit!
And beyond that!
And beyond that!
And beyond that.
Till i had forgotten…what?
Who cares?
Elohim! I cried! Yesuah! I cried.
(And realized i didn’t want the devoid to see/witness/expirience THIS level of pain!)
THIS level of vulnerability!
Where even i thought was my last?
Didn’t, couldn’t see my way out of?
I am a Jesus Cow!
Who somehow gets out of locked fence!
Electrified!
Miles high and below!
There is literally NO way
And yet…
Here i am again
Usually elated
This time afraid this too
This miracle
This joy
This solution
Is ALSO temporary!
Cause…
That is something i do not want to revisit
Instead of elation
I am just grateful
For this moment
In Yesuah’s holy name, amen. 8-23-23 (3:11p) WADC
