This is a post I put up previously.
'I haven't had chime' My mouth was saying 'chime', a mix of the two words ' chance' and 'time' because there were two words in my mind. (The mind was responding to two instructions, causing confusion). Regarding healing, or walking in the way of the Lord, if the natural mind is saying what the world has taught it and the mind of Christ (the Spiritual) is saying another, surely the body will respond in the same way as my mouth did. We must be fully convinced in our minds regarding our actions, so therefore it must be the mind of Christ that we have to instruct us, not the natural mind when we are born again of God's Spirit. For the scriptures say that he who is double minded will not receive anything. ( James ch. 1 vs. 7 and 8 ). We can persistently ask God to increase our faith for whatever we ask of Him in Jesus's name until we get a positive response.
Jesus ( the Word of God ) is always the same, Yesterday, today and forever. He never moves from one mind to another, but we can. He speaks to many kinds of people - His disciples, the Pharisees, and the outsiders. He regards no man in the flesh, He is Spirit, as is God, and we must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. He regards us how we are and who we are Spiritually when we are born again of His Spirit. We can be anyone and likened to anyone written about in the Bible Spiritually. Just as John the Baptist went in the Spirit of Elijah ( His mission was the same as Elijah's, warning the people that they were disobedient to God ), so we too can, and will, live our lives according to the Spirit that is in us.
After a flower has been picked, if it is kept and pressed in a book it will keep it's colour. This reminds me of when we are born again, being kept by the Word of God and the pressure of that Word giving us eternal life, even though we have been cut off from our worldly source of life.
These are some flowers and leaves that I dried in a book to add to the very relevant scripture in the picture.

May Jesus transform us more and more into His image each day. And I so love your pressed flowers with the inspirational words from the Scripture. Blessings, Brenda!
Dear Brenda,
Many years ago, whilst singing a chorus in worship, I the word "jove" (rhyming with "love") came out of my mouth.
One line ended with the word "love" and the line underneath ended with the word "joy". After the song ended, the person sitting next to me repeated the word "Jove", and we both laughed.
Blessings to you and your family.
Yes, Love bears all things because God is Love!
Hi Martha Jane, I totally agree with what you have said regarding Jesus transforming us into His image, and thank you regarding my pressed flowers and the scripture attached. God bless.
Hi Frank, it looks like you both had a very similar experience to what I had. Your story made me laugh too. God bless you and Alex.
Hi Irina, absolutely right - God is love. God bless.
Hi Brenda, I love your pressed flower art and Scripture. Praise God for His perfect love, manifest to us through His Spirit. May He continue to bless you and yours.
Hi Laurie, thank you for your kind comment, and absolutely praise God for His perfect love manifested to us through His Spirit. I used to like using pressed flowers for small pics. God bless you and yours too.
Amen.
Good writing and I really like the pressed flowers. God bless always.
Hi Victor, thankyou for your kind comment, and God bless you too with all He has for us in Jesus.
Hi Brenda, I remember as a child pressing flowers, and it seems that pictures using these were in fashion then. A lost art that I am glad you have revived!
Hi Lurie, yes I loved making pressed flower pictures, although I haven't done it for a while. God bless.
Lovely analogy at the end, Brenda!
