It’s MY Place! :: By Don Twobears

Matthew 6:6 “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”

Sometimes the Lord will work in you long before you’re aware of it. This thing happened to me; please allow me to explain. This may indeed help others, as it has definitely helped me!

I believe I have always had a small room in my Heart (Mind) that I am able to go to during whatever was going on. Let me take you to my Room.

It’s sort of odd, the room is huge, and yet it feels small and personable. I look around and see the walls are covered in very old yet beautiful, heavy lumber. There is a wall or two that is covered with curtains, beautiful blue, thick and heavy. The room is not bright, more subdued if you will, lit with huge and very old cones with fire (providing light). There is always a very big fireplace with a roaring fire. Again, it is very odd to walk on huge stones (Like a Castle), yet my feet are never cold. The single door is like a Castle as well, very big and heavy. Come on y’all…this is MY room, My head.

There is a huge and heavy table in my room with matching big chairs, soft yet comfortable. This huge table is covered with papers, sometimes neatly stacked, and at other times, papers strewn everywhere. Many years ago, the Lord was there, yet HE never said anything, I simply knew HE was there. Nowadays I go to my room very often, and I look for HIM there. This is where I meet the Lord and deal with whatever life is handing me, absolutely everything.

Last year, October, the 22nd to be exact, I had a Total Left-knee replacement surgery. So, I was busy mending as well as working to be able to walk and move about. October the 27th, my Grandson Donovan died in a car accident…truly a bad day for me! Within an hour to an hour and a half, my wife and our Kids were packed and in the car, heading to Texas for the Funeral. I was left all alone in a big empty house, and only my Friend would come and visit every day, and our Pets.

When I first heard of my Grandson’s death, all I could think was, Lord, please give me Peace! I wanted to cry so bad, yet the tears never came that day. As soon as everyone was gone, I went out onto our patio and Prayed that the Kids and my Wife would have HIS Peace and be safe as they drove. And once again, I went into MY Room to be with the Lord.

I went there and threw a huge tantrum, threw furniture and the table all over, papers flying everywhere! I screamed and cried; I hollered…and hollered! I didn’t know what else to do, then I sat down and cried and cried and cried even more. “My Boy…I want my Boy Donovan!” was all I could mumble. Then I noticed the Hand of MY Lord and Savior…resting on my Head. I never once felt the need to ask HIM why HE took my Donovan! I kept asking for HIS Peace…. HE gave me that Peace!

Has it become easier for me? Yes, to a degree, yet I still miss my Donovan. Now…I am able to go to my room, and on occasion, I am able to feel my Donovan touch my arm and say, “Hi Papa, I Love you!” It suddenly becomes enough for me, and I do not feel that gnawing sensation of loss!

In my room, I am able to go to it and look at a page on my table. Typically, the page is very simple and to the point about a concern. I then hear My Lord ask me, “So…what do you want to do about that?” It does not matter if there is one page or a stack of pages, I simply think about the concern and then I drop the pages at HIS feet. Instantly, the pages are gone! And so are the feelings about that concern. No more perplexity or confusion, no anger or hostility. The Lord says, “I got this!” and that is the end to it.

As of late, I find that I spend a great deal of time…in MY room! This is where the Lord and I meet and talk with each other about many, many things. It is where I am able to bare my Soul and Spirit with HIM, where I can Love and Praise HIM for HIS Love and HIS blessings to me. It is where I can feel HIS touch, where HE soothes my Soul, if you will. I Praise and thank HIM for HIS beatings and for HIS Crucifixion for me and for others. It is also where I feel HIS Cross, where I am able to leave my Sin and ask HIS Forgiveness! MY room is the most personal and private place that I could ever know of, but most of all, where I meet with MY Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

People have told me many times that I have a very vivid imagination, which I will admit, I do! And yet, for this, my room…it is NOT imagination…it IS REAL! Anything worth happening happens in MY Room! The pages are left at HIS feet, and suddenly they disappear, as does my anxiety and worry! This life has grown many Grey hairs on my head, but…my Life is happy, and I am content because of MY Lord…and my little room!

I would have to guess – or maybe wonder would be a better word – if YOU have a little room for yourself? Do you have a spot where you and the Lord meet on a continual basis? I wonder as well if this small article and my description of MY ROOM could help you in your walk in Life?! I believe everyone needs someplace to go to bare their Soul and find Peace as well. Let me ask you this, how can this hurt?

This is from one believer to another, or even to one unbeliever – what can it hurt…right?! Maybe, it could be a place to find your refuge from this crazy world! You never know, you may meet MY Lord and Savior Jesus Christ there!

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

A Question You Need to Answer! :: By Don Twobears

I am wondering just how many people are aware of what is ‘truly’ going on behind our backs! Does it matter to you when you are being deceived? There are so many that see things and yet do nothing! Then there are those that have no idea of anything going on; they simply go about their day, never questioning anything. The questions abound in every direction, and far too many are not discerning a single thing… They are consumed with Fear!

What if I get the Virus, what will I do? I do not go to the store anymore; there are too many people with the virus out there! I hate to listen to the news because they bend everything to their own ideas. I am going to sit right here in my house where I am safe. I don’t want to die! And the thoughts just keep coming… Right?

1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

James 5:14-16 “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

So, there is the answer to the Virus! Obviously, and as I have stated before, we need to seek the Lord God in everything! The Lord would never throw us under the bus because HE does indeed Love us. So now, there is a question that everyone must answer. Do you know the Lord and walk with Him on a Daily Basis?

You must understand that ‘Wisdom’ is of the Lord. One must know that the Lord God is the only one that “Knows our past, knows our present (Today) and knows our future!” If you believe this, there should be no fear of anything! Walking with the Lord every day will bring ‘Discernment.’ The Lord God wants you to be worry free and have the knowledge that you are safely in HIS hands.

It is very obvious that there are people in this world who would love to deceive you and turn you to their own way of thinking! It will always benefit THEM before it benefits you, whether there will be a benefit to you at all. There are people that will ‘create’ a problem to cover up what they are doing. They will make sure that you believe they are doing these things for your benefit as well. Once you have figured out that they have deceived you, it will be too late!

Matthew 24:24 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

There it is in Black and White; obviously, this about the last hour, as in TODAY. How many want to be called “The Honorable…such-n-such” and yet lie to everyone to benefit themselves. I was of the opinion that “Honor” was earned and NOT given out in carelessness! But I must be wrong because nowadays there are too many with Lying Tongues! Would you agree?

Let’s NEVER forget:

Ephesians 5:6 “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.”

2 Timothy 3:2-5 “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

Do you believe that there are people in this world today who are deceiving others, lying to others?

Ephesians 6:11-12 “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

That last passage of Scripture begs the question, Are there lying Spirits today? Is there Evil in high places? Are they trying to deceive us and to hide the truth? Maybe you NEED to hear the news and decide for yourselves. Take what you hear and ask yourself, is there deception here? Maybe that virus is a cloud of thick smoke, covering up things they do not want you to know? Ya think?!

I don’t know about you, but I seldom listen to the news, and I listen more to what the Lord God is telling me! For those of you who have no idea, maybe it would be helpful if you began reading the Holy Word of God and left the TV turned off. What do you think? I know it for a fact that your children would benefit from this action. But do not listen to me; read for yourself in the Holy Word of God!

It’s sort of odd…that same Bible, having been around for better than 4,500 years…spells out how this world is…today. Right? And it provides an answer to every single question you could have as well! Again, I am asking you to find out these answers for yourself in the Bible! The one and only place that has NO deceit in it, just absolute TRUTH.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
