disillusioned (verb) – to realize that a belief or an ideal is false

We often think being disillusioned is a negative thing – especially when it’s associated with feeling disappointed, discouraged, downcast, or disenchanted.

But what if we flipped it and began to realize that it’s a GOOD thing to shed the illusion of something that wasn’t even real to begin with?

We might have a different perspective indeed. 

We would be DELIGHTED to be undeceived and enlightened. Selah.

May the truth of God’s Word illuminate every illusion as we choose to walk in His Light.💡

Blessings, Kayren

“26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”

(John 15:26-27)

“13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”

(John 16:13-14)

“We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”

(I John 4:6)

We’re called to abide in the light…💡😇

I wanted to grab my mousepad from my bag in another room and do some writing before bedtime. I breezed past the light switch because I knew exactly where I’d put it in the zippered section of my bag.

Then I realized how utterly ridiculous it is to grope around in the dark for something that can easily be located once illuminated.

I backed up and flipped on the light switch. Then I quickly grabbed my BLACK mousepad from my BLACK bag…saving myself time and frustration.

How much time do we spend (or waste) digging around in the dark – when we’re blessed with access to the Light of the world?

Jesus said, “I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me [whoever cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] may not continue to live in darkness.” (John 12:46 AMPC).

May we intentionally choose to abide in light instead of darkness. Selah.

Blessings, Kayren

“For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness.”

(II Samuel 22:29)

“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.”

(Isaiah 9:2)

“He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”

(Daniel 2:22)

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

(John 8:12)

…and be ye separate… 

You wouldn’t think that choosing to forgo an after-work business function would give one pause. 

But this one did for me because I clearly heard in my spirit, “You can’t go.”

Wham! Just like that…

I was like, “Seriously, God?!” But in my heart – even as I opened the invitation to scan the details – I already knew.

Would attending but not participating in some activities that aren’t part of my lifestyle indicate compromise?

Well, I wasn’t gonna get the opportunity to find out. Because sometimes, we just have to make a clear line of demarcation between our past and who we’re in the process of becoming.🦋

And then obey God’s prompting. Promptly.

Because He cares for us and knows what’s best for us.

Not throwin’ shade on anybody else or their individual choices. But we have to protect our growth.

I’m here for it.

Blessings as we all continue to mature, Kayren

“14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

(II Corinthians 6:14-18)

Man’s wisdom may sound good at first, but is it substantive enough to sustain us for the long haul?

A lot of nonsense that’s being shoveled (I’m looking at YOU, social media 👀) is merely junk food that leaves us unfulfilled and undernourished when we need a balanced meal that is filling and nutritious.

May we choose wisely what we allow to feed us in this season – both naturally and spiritually. 

After all, it’s a critical time. 

Blessings, Kayren

“4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

(I Corinthians 2:4-9)
