Greetings Divas,
I sat and spoke with my Father in Heaven this morning and I asked him, " Father what is you want me to tell your people today?" Without hesitation he said to me, " Ask them When are they going to carry their own cross?" So I'm asking you this morning, "When are you going to Pick up your cross?"
As I was speaking about complaining and always blaming satan or the devil about things that we say and do on the call last night. I was given this vision of Jesus carrying this heavy cross, bleeding, being beaten, spit on, and going through all of that pain for us. As i keep speaking he look me dead in the face and said, "I did this for each of you." We as people are never satisfied and complain about everything. We always have someone to blame for what we did or said. We are always giving excuses about thing we did or didn't do. My Father said its time for you to carry your own cross! Its time for you to take responsibility for your actions. Its time to stop pointing the finger at satan when you have brought several things upon yourself for not being obedient! I have to be honest sometimes we blame satan for things that we did ourselves. I see why satan is always on your butt because, you are blaming things on him that he didn't do. If you were always blaming things on me that I didn't do I would be upset too. Stop blaming the economy for you being broke because you wasn't spending money wisely before it got this bad anyway! Stop blaming your parents for the way you turned out in life because you are now of age and have the power to turn that around! Stop blaming your spouse for the marriage going bad when it was things that you were doing that wasn't right. Stop blaming and start picking up your cross! in Matthew 10:38 Jesus said: "Anyone who does NOT take his cross and follow me is not WORTHY of me! So now what are you going to do?

Hi Angela,
Thanks for this post! I really appreciate it. I wanted to share the one thought that I had while meditating on the message. When Christ asks us to carry our cross what is he really asking of us? Carrying our cross means crucifying the flesh...dying to ourselves. So in context with your message I really felt that in taking responsibility for our actions and behavior it is also our responsibility to recognize that carrying our cross means dealing with our flesh - and our sin.
It is easy to justify our actions, and it is even easy to admit we have contributed to the problems, but it is only carrying our cross when we acknowledge that it is our sin and our flesh that needs to be dealt with, and then deal with it.
This stepped on my toes a bit. I am good at acknowledging that I even contribute to the problem, but I'm just like everyone else, I don't like to deal with the real issue and take up the cross....and die to myself and my will....
Thanks for pointing out the solution to the problem...I tend to be short sighted and forget that where I really need to look is at my own heart.
Angela
