We've Made 250 Years America, Now What?

We did it and most of us did it in style. We just finished celebrating America's 250th birthday. The planets and stars in heaven are saying after the 4th of July weekend, there will be a great shift happening in the people of Earth.

In the astrology and wellness communities, many intuitive readers and astrologers are pointing to a major "timeline shift" this July. Influencers are emphasizing themes like amplified consciousness, the death of old illusions, and rapid personal growth designed to rewrite our collective energy.

Yes, astrologers, those who do horoscopes, and tarot readers are saying, "An awakening and change of beliefs are changing and it's major for the month of July. Authenticity and truth will cause the need for change." These people watch the movement of planets, know the history of what occured in history when planets and stars lined up in certain ways. God gave the bodies in the heavens as signs. Some people choose to pay attention without worshipping what God uses for communication with man.

Just as people sneer ans scoff at the idea that God speaks to people, they scoff and condemn people for believing the planets and stars have any relavence in human's daily lives. I'm not trying to convince you to believe or not believe. I write about what I know and I know God is trying to get the attention of humans to repent and turn from their sinful ways in every way available.

For me, I had an awakening of my own. I realized my entire life I've been waiting to die. Yes. You read right. I expected bad things, pain, rejection, and no love daily. It was easy to believe I didn't deserve anything good. To be humble means not expecting grand things from God in my understanding of the Bible. And I also praised the horrible things that happened and I was always prepared for, as GROWTH, WISDOM. 

I believed 100% that Satan was always on the prowl seeking those he could devour and kill. I believed in Satan's power without questioning nor doubting it. But, God's ability to give us good blessing, miracles beyond our belief, I doubted wholeheartedly even when Scripture and my personal walk with God told me to believe His word above all else.

I waited for bad, which is promised, and actively denied and ran from the good promised to me by God. I never believed I did anything worthy of goodness, because I came short everyday of being sin free, not worshipping enough, not praying enough, not having faith to make it out of the really tough times. I believed I was never going to be a good embassador of Christ. Each day, I recounted and repented for sin. Many days were, in essence, filled with self-torture of I don't deserve good because I'm not good. If good showed up, I waited for the shoe of bad to show up and not even acknowledge the good. It was like, "Get out of the way good, so the bad can hurry up and come and be over with quickly." Good to me, signaled bad is coming.

I needed to do something after this realization, believing in man's power to hurt and harm, Satan's power to hurt and harm, without question and with expectation. I DIDN'T believe in God's love for me and wanting good things for me. He gives love and gifts even better than earthly parents, and I wanted to die everyday. I was wrong on so many levels. 

What I needed was the RENEWING of my mind like the Scripture tells me to have in Romans 12ff. I had done some things right in my misinterpretation of God's love. I tried to offer myself as a LIVING sacrifice of WORSHIP trying to be holy and pleasing to God. Somehow I had sense enough to strive to do that. In Romans 4 we read our faith gives us CREDIT with God. Our FAITH is credited as RIGHTEOUNESS in God's eye. Faith in his goodness, not just fear of his wrath, is counted as righteousness. Romans 5 goes on to say believers are FREE from God's wrath and are given PEACE and JOY. More Scripture I evidently didn't believe.

Mind renewal is what is needed by us all going forward. The Bible says renewal of the mind is a TRANSFORMATION that ALLOWS us to be able to TEST and APPROVE what God's WILL is, His good, pleasing, and perfect will, Romans 12:2. You are to think highly of yourself with sober judgement in accordance with the MEASURE of faith God has GIVEN you. I thought you could never think highly of yourself as it is bragging. No. God said, think of yourself highly where God has increased you in faith. Mature Christians should have pride in the faith that grew them and kept them in relationship with God. It is his GIFT to his believers who have faith in Him. 

Each member of the body of Christ HAS a GIFT. The gift given to you, whether anyone agrees or acknowledge it is to be used to it's fullest. It can't be used if you believe only BAD is life's fate. It's not. My name, when spoken, means GIFT OF GOD, and I have lived my life as anything but. Trying to be humble, sinfree, righteous, and/or a good Christian, left me unable to live in anticipation of joy and God's goodness. I had a SPIRIT of COMPLAINT. I wasn't anyone's gift. Not even a gift to myself.

My pastor said a thing that caught my attention Sunday. He said, "Have you ever seen a lighthouse CHASE boats?" That was profound to me. Our gifts are a light which we are told to be in the world. Many of us use our light to chase, demand, condemn. A light guides the boats to safe harbor. Boats SEARCH for the lighthouse for guidance and direction. That light is given to every Christian, but in seeking God and his will, we sometimes get distracted. 

If our president is a good example of anything it's DISTRACTION. Distraction is used to keep the eyes and ears from TRUTH, what is REAL. It is easy for me to believe and except distraction from what is true and good, when I have NO faith in the POWER of God and His word. I chose to believe in the world's and Satan's power and not my God's power. My mind needed renewing and quickly.

God's word is the truth in the truthless wolrd we NOW live in. But we don't believe it wholeheartedly. The Word of God is a part of our battle uniform, the Armor of God. I have not been properly dressed for war. My war was in my head. I was fighting against the goodness of God, that it wasn't meant for me. I was a REAL Christian always fighting against evil and growing more and more weary everyday. 

God wants me to have joy and peace. He also said for those who DELIGHT in Him, he will GIVE the DESIRES of their HEART, Psalm 37:4. To delight in Him is to always know He wants the best for you/us down to every hidden and known desire of our hearts. God has proven this to me so many times, yet I became bogged down in only recognizing and anticipating bad for my life. 

Today, I choose to stand in FAITH, on the words of Scripture. My life is going to be UNBELIEVABLY magical with great gifts and miracles from God. I believed the worst of God in which he rather not give, and not the LOVE of God which He WANTS to give His children.

The part of the prayer that says, "On earth as it is  in heaven," resonates more in a new way. I have ALWAYS looked forward to the day I see God face to face. I have pictured me falling to his feet in tears, seeing the ONE who loved me, watched over me, choose me. The Lord's PRAYER says I can have that same love and adoration for Him on earth like the angels already have in heaven. I can have that SAME feeling here on earth if I allow such joy and happiness into my life right now.

I have decided to choose to LIVE and honor God's will that I do live. I welcome everything He has for me as He allows me to remain on earth. I've embraced the ugliness and meanness of life. Now it's time to have that SAME kind of FAITH for the good things God is bringing into my life the rest of 2026 and beyound. You CAN too. I'm renewing my mind lining up with God's words of blessings and goodness. I'm saying His power is ABOVE every power known to man and He loves me. I'm going to LIVE LIKE GOD LOVES ME. 

I'm running to this new direction in life, taking ALL limits and my own imposed restrictions on God off. I'm inviting His love for me to show up and show out. Complaining is done because my EXPECTATIONS of evil and disappointments have CHANGED. I will SING of the GOODNESS of God. I repented and I've turned. Can't wait to see what miracles and blessings God has for my future.
