We might had withdrawn, despised, ostracized others in many ways and many forms. In verbal speech or in bodily actions. We might be on our minute islands, open to the storms of the world, never trusting or opening ourselves to life.
The other day, I told Serene many things. Some that goes a long way back, some in the recent years. It was peaceful when I was talking to her, I know that Jesus was with us. He was giving her the answers that I wanted to hear from Him.
Serene prayed for me later on. I can't remember what she prayed for me. After the session, I felt that all the man made armor was finally lifted and dissolved. In its place, was God's light armor. (Mathew 11:30 ) .
When I was growing up, I saw death, it swept away my Grandmother. It was in the News, showing earthquakes, floods, droughts, wars, genocide, murder. My own family disturbed by unclean spirits. Flawed parenting decisions.
The forgiveness part, I had forgiven in the past few years. My own armor, I was carrying it. It was a drag. When things happened, I just put more and more of the armor onto me..
From the time that my own armor had finally dissolved and God placed his protection on me, I am still using His protection now. Sometimes relinquishing control of my own survival/ sanity/ etc to Jesus takes some getting used to (or activating Him for Everything). Hehe ...
To release control to the Shepherd , that he will work to protect me. Instead of me trying to put worldly knowledge to counter the world (my old man made armor). I now use His blood to protect me !
I had been thinking of the CNY customs also.
1. Nian
2. Red every where!
3. Tai sui , or praying to applease the 60 tai suis.
Nian, is essentially a malevolent spirit.
Red - Mimicry of Lambs blood
Tai Sui - more evil spirits, they are stars in the universe, each year they change and certain people will be affected because of birth year, location , timing.
Renewal by Spring cleaning
All of these seems to say it is a minicry of the 1st Passover. The Spirit of God was moving in Egypt in the night. Those whose house do not have Lamb's blood on their door posts, their first born will be killed. Those who lived, got to move house and move out of Egypt.
I think many still did not accept that the Law was already fulfilled and made void because Jesus the Lamb of God had fulfilled the requirements of the Law and death. Anyone who believes in Jesus, has a legit claim to God for His Protection, Abundance, Blessings, Health - just like the prodigal son who has returned to Him. ASK - Mathew 11:30 Those who believe in Jesus, the world and Devil can not claim any more.
I hope more and more people know about this and they can be set free !
