clinging only to God

As Christian men, we must be what the Israelites are about to become: pilgrims, Exodus Men. This means detaching ourselves from things, from comforts and securities. It means clinging only to God and moving forward faithfully toward him. What are you clinging to? What do you need to let go of? Bring these things before the Lord today and beg him to grant you freedom in this very hour.

Enter into a dialogue with the Lord today regarding what it means that you are sacred, and set apart. Reflect with him on how he plans for you to live “set apart” and where you are failing at it now. Be specific, listen closely, and be willing and ready to CHANGE as the Lord requests. This will mark another solid stage along the road to freedom.

As I was sitting in Mass I knew I had to write more. I sat and prayed and then listened to the Rosary and started to read and write about my growth and experiences. As I opened my Journal I saw the last notes where Todd in the Exodus 90 Fraternity meeting spoke about the mission and goals for everything. It starts with Prayer and getting Intimate with God. What does it really mean to bring this amount of connection to a relationship with Spirit. It means getting up at 4am for the Prayerline. Listening to the two preacher podcasts, Family Focus and Intouch.org before TheJoyFM Morning Devotions and then their Prayers. Doing a list of ascetic exercises, and getting out a bike to reach the coastline for SunGazing Yoga and Prayers. 

But the bike had a flat tire?  

I Ask God for the gift of faith and the gift of holy fear, which is one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit (see Isaiah 11:1–2). Then, you will be daring enough to tell God what you really need, but you will also be resigned enough to submit to God’s holy will in all things.

Yes, Following His WILL in all things. That's really always been a challenge. And it's really remarkable how much I've done it or really seem to have been doing It Right for decades. It's Like I recognize how I've got this Voice in my head, that's almost always singing Praises in the Name of Jesus. I remember in High School when my mom got scared finding out I was into drugs. She warned me how easy it was for satan to pretend to be anyone speaking to us. . . She told me over and over again to always ASK for the NAME of Jesus, so I could be sure I was listening to the Truth and not some imposter. . .
