SHOPPING MEDICATOR!

Happy Surdy as Baltimore people would say! LOL

I pray you all have a fulfilling weekend.

The most favorable activity on Saturdays for people across America is......give up? SHOPPING!!!! I happen to enjoy this activity myself, especially on Saturdays. There's something incredible about the Saturday rush: longer lines, crowded parking structures. I don't know, maybe I'm just weird. If you live in LA and visit the Beverly Center, you definitely think I'm weird because that place is a circus.

However, the mall is one of the places very similar to the church on Resurrection Sunday in that there's guaranteed to be a large crowd. Why do you think that is? I use to get an overwhelming feeling of sadness each time I visited the mall and could not figure out why. I was getting great bargains, enjoying my company, and still sad. Has anyone ever experienced this? So one day I decided to seek God concerning my feelings because they were growing more cumbersome with each visit. The Lord began to share with me that many people use "shopping" as a means of medication for various issues and diseases such as: addiction, low self esteem, marital/family problems, physical sickness etc. Therefore, as a prophetic intercessor, which He calls all of His children to be, I was sensitive to the spirits that were around me. The Lord strategically placed me in the mall to PRAY against the schemes of the enemy. What??? You mean I wasn't there simply because Betseyville and Carter's Clothier was having a sale? Perhaps in part, but 95% of my attendance was to be an instrument tugging on the heart of God concerning what I sensed in the spirit. People lose themselves as a result of masking issues via shopping because its deception is that by not acknowledging the problem, it will go away. NOT TRUE!!! What happens is that after spending unnecessarily, because that's exactly what it is, the problem has grown because it was suppressed. Now, you're depressed about your initial issue as well as the fact that you've spent without proper reason.

So, before you catch the sales today, say a little prayer asking the Lord to cleanse your heart so that you can pray successfully for someone else. If you are the "shopping medicator," realize this is a trick and once your high is over, those same problems will be staring you down like a wolf to prey. The enemy PREYS on you, decide this moment to PRAY on Him. Enjoy shopping because there are NO underlying ailments which constitute the experience. Also, be especially sensitive to others with "shopping medicating" spirits around you and remember YOUR prayers could be the very ones saving some one's life. Trust me, your shopping experience will be far more fulfilling! He rewards those who diligently seek Him! (Hebrews 11:6) While in the shopping facilities, expect some miraculous discounts or specials simply for your obedience in prayer. He loves us, why wouldn't He release blessings even at the mall. Enjoy your Surdy & Sundy! Blessings.....
