I've prepared my mind for battle, knowing that victory is imminent, and that all chatter of my defeat is simply irrelevant. My physical stature resembles the pillar of strength that personifies the God that lives within me!
To Die, Is To Gain!
My entire Life I have carried burdens, tried to fix things on my own, neglecting other things in order to do what I "thought," was the right thing to do.
To Die, Is To Gain!
Most recently, God allowed the cruel and malicious intentions of my enemies to be used to remove something so precious to me, in order for Him to get my attention, that He is God and God alone! That I do not try to "fix" what He has said He will fix, as soon as I lay my burdens down.
To Die, Is To Gain!
It was not an intentional act of disobedience to God, rather it was just a way of Life for me, for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of six, I fix. As the Father to my children, I fix. As a professional person, I fix. As a member of anything that I am associated with, I fix. But, not this time, Corey.
In order for God to bring me into the fullness of what He has purposed for me in my Life, He needed to get my attention by removing something so dear to my heart. Quite the stubborn existence that it took such a drastic measure in order for His Will to be done in me. Nothing but the Will of the Father, shall EVER be done! My complete and undivided attention is now His, OBEDIENTLY!
To Die, Is To Gain!
For where I am headed, I need not carry the burdens any longer, and it is ok to share in them with the Blessings in the form of people so close to my heart, that He has purposed within my Life, to be a part of the journey within my Life.
To Die, Is To Gain!
I'm grateful to my enemies, because God also used "you," in order to bring me closer to Him. What a great bartering system that was. "You" did to me, and He turns right around and does FOR "me." Exactly why He gets the Glory!!! Amen!!!
To Die, Is To Gain!
Enemies are nothing more than silent admirers. Their desire about you has something to do with what you represent. I mean otherwise, why would they even bother? Why would someone continuously conjure up instead of letting go, if their desire has nothing to do with you?
Although you thought that you had the victory, by default, God's Will DEFEATED my enemies. You just don't know it yet!
To Die, Is To Gain!
A part of Corey had to DIE, in order for the Glory to LIVE!
To Die, Is To Gain!
And I have gained so much in my immediate demise, that it is now feasible and possible for me to live, to do the work of the Father in accordance to His Will!
To Die, Is To Gain!
Self-awareness and discovery have me standing no less than par for the course, irrespective of the courses design!
To Die, Is To Gain!
No longer will I be ill-prepared, for the "Spiritual Warfare."
I Died, In Order to Gain!
God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford
