We humans forget so easily… and it is not just a selected few that forget. We cannot label alone the Senior Population of Society with memory challenges. Every person has the potential to forget. And the truth of the matter is that forgetfulness occurs more than ever before due to the heightened distractions, & sensory over load in these days we are now living in.. If we are not alert, focused, & truly prioritizing with an eternal mindset… well we indeed can develop Spiritual Amnesia. Just recently an adamant Follower of Christ had a dream & the words she remembers that were reverberating in her spirit as she awakened was… “BEWARE OF SPIRITUAL AMNESIA” This word shook her so much so that She immediately got up & wrote the warning down. We believe this is a word for each one of us who are Followers of The Lord. Some may be thinking… not so… I will not forget the most important information that I have been privileged with, which is THE TRUTH. Some may be quick to say, I will not forget the experiences I have had with Holy Spirit, & I would not forget The Goodness of The Lord & what HE has done for me…... But oh, we must be very careful of our boasting & We must add to this... I shall not forget… BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD. HIS Word warns us that in the last days many will be deceived. When hardness of life comes… and it shall come upon each one of us at varying times. It will prove a testing period for each of us to REMEMBER. We must remember everyday HIS GOODNESS, in sad times, happy times, sorrowful times, in times of lack & in times of plenty, in times of loss, & times of abundance. Yes also, in times of no answers, & times of HIS Voice so clear and flowing. We must be a people intentional on REMEMBERING. HE has gifted us with privileges to stimulate and keep our memories healthy and alert. HE has given to us HOLY SPIRIT living inside us that prompts us & calls to our remembrance important data that is for eternity, & also for navigating on this side doing the practical responsibilities of life. So BEAUTIFUL to have HOLY SPIRIT steering our memory! HE has also given us instructions in taking Communion. May we not be a people that are casual or occasional with Taking Communion (The Lord’s Supper). This indeed calls upon our memory & fortifies our recall as we Selah what JESUS has bought for us through HIS Body & Blood. We exhort you to take Holy Communion often to ward off any Spiritual Amnesia! Thankfulness and remaining positive is another Stimulant for a healthy Spiritual and Physical Mind. Even when calamities hit…. If we choose to intentionally remember HIS FAITHFULNESS and we indeed focus on, & meditate upon HIS Character & HIS HOLY WORD, this will indeed fortify our Spiritual Cognizance. The Bible is replete with scripture text on REMEMBER and DO NOT FORGET… We remember an old secular song years ago… “These are a few of my favorite things” The lyrics include… When the dog bites and when the bee stings and when I am feeling sad… I simply REMEMBER my favorite things & then I don’t feel so sad… We can certainly glean from this old secular song that truly has redemptive purposes!! May we be a people that remember our Favorite things that are everlasting. HIS BLOOD that has saved us! The privilege of conversing with THE FATHER any time, day & night IN THE NAME OF JESUS. The gift of a clean slate no matter how horrific our lives have been. The privilege of Peace in a chaotic Topsy Turvey world... The beauty of being alive in our senses & experiencing the gift of doing exploits with our soon coming again Bridegroom King JESUS. Beloved, we all deserve hell on a good day! BUT BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE, HIS GRACE, HIS SACRIFICE, we don’t get what we ALL DESERVE. So, when we hear those birds singing on Spring days… Listen carefully & give HIM praise. HIS Word tells us how much more HE cares for us...REMEMBER THE WARNING IS BEWARE OF SPIRITUAL AMNESIA. Amnesia defined is loss of memory, or a gap in one’s memory & even selective overlooking or ignoring of events or acts that are not favorable or useful to one’s purpose or position. When the sensory overload is prevalent, the hard times are at hand, distractions are hitting left and right… HOLD TIGHT and BE INTENTIONAL! Utilize & do not ignore HIS Gifts TO REMEMBER! We are privileged to have warnings! Do you appreciate warnings? Warnings save our lives! Warnings keep us from chaotic outcomes. We think about those annoying beeps when our smoke detector keeps beeping & alerting us to change the batteries. We think about the never-ending noise in our vehicles until we BUCKLE UP. How about those promptings... those tugs that save our lives for sure! We are reminded of the tugs of our automobile that let us know if we are out of lane alignment. HOW MUCH MORE SO THE HOLY SPIRIT that tugs at our heart strings and lets us know... WARNS US when we are out of Spiritual alignment. HIS very tugging got us to a place of initial repentance & keeps us in a place of repentance. Precious Beloved, DO NOT FORGET. BE INTENTIONAL! TAKE HEED! REMEMBER! “Be careful not to forget THE LORD, who rescued you from slavery out of the land of Egypt.” (Deut. 6:12.) “Bless The LORD, O my Soul, and do not forget all HIS Kind deeds.” (Psalm 103:2.)
