For those who do not know, Reggie is my wonderful, wonderful husband. He is a gospel artist (singer, rapper, songwriter and producer) and goes by the name Skyway Rec . As with anyone else doing the Lord's work, Reggie encounters attacked from the enemy. When you cause as much damage to the enemy's kingdom as Reg does, you are bound to make the enemy a little, or very angry.
We have been attacked in several ways, attacks on top of attacks, especially since 2012 began. Generational curses have been trying to bc v overtake us, we received Words from God that others tried to deny, debts have been coming from seemingly nowhere, division came into our home and then we lost our home. But praise God! When the enemy comes in like a flood, God WILL and has raised up a standard against him! God has allowed us to go through certain things to strengthen us, to train us to endure as good soldiers. I did not realize just how true the previous statement is in our lives until God gave me a demonstration via my husband.
One evening, while Reg and I were in a serious championship game of the card game Speed (he took my championship title that evening but whatever), our son comes to Reggie with a nail that he had found from who knows where. SN: Children can find just about anything! I may send him on a hunt for jewelry and money when he's a bit older. Reggie takes the nail from Zion (our son) and tosses it onto the dresser. Now our dresser top is a bit cluttered to say the least. There were books, boxes of facial tissues, drinking glasses, knick knacks, lotion bottles, etc. on there. So I assume that Reggie made the assumption that he would just toss the nail there to spare himself time during our game. He quickly turns around from the game, tosses the nail and pauses. He looks at me and says " Do you see that? It landed straight up! " I glanced over and sure enough, the nail landed, in the midst of all that mess, all of that clutter, and chaos and was STILL STANDING.
The very next morning, Reggie, Kristen, my sister in law also known as Kris in law and I went onto the back deck. I was videotaping Reggie and Kristen as they performed a skit to promote SkyWay Rec's soon-to-be released album 'Reloaded' (had to plug that in there {^_^} ) There was a car tire laying on the ledge of the deck. It was in view of where we were videotaping. I mentioned this fact to Reggie. Immediately, he turned to it and shoved it off of the deck ledge. The tire made the 6 foot drop and landed just as you see it in the above picture.
I knew God was speaking to me at that moment but I did not get the revelation until the following morning. My mind became flooded with the Word of God as it applies to Reggie and our current, but not permanent situation.
- Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. Jude 1:24
- So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. 2 Peter 1:10
- The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. Proverbs 24:16
- Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand. Psalm 37:24
- We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:9
- Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. Psalm 55:22
- The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. Psalm 145:14
The Holy Spirit spoke so strongly to me about my husband. This message is for you as well ! You are strong! You are courageous! God will NOT permit you to fall ! Nothing we do in the name of Jesus will fall but it WILL remain standing! We have all missed it and fallen when it comes to instructions from the Lord in the past but God is placing our feet on solid ground. Though we are thrown, pushed, shoved and dropped into unknown and sometimes scary situations, He is there! We will always land on our feet with God. Sometimes we need a push to get started and to get out of that spirit of complacency. We are being knocked into position with our feet firmly planted on the path God has chosen for us.
If you are in a fallen state, do not worry, for He is with you. He is there holding you by the hand and lifting you up. He sees you! In the midst of the chaos, He knows exactly where you are. Just keep your hearts and minds focused on Jesus! Once your process is complete, He will lift you out of the clutter just as He has done with us! Amen!
