A LESSON FROM AN ONION

If you have ever cut an onion, then you know that it can cause your eyes to burn and bring tears. Often, you can’t even see what you are doing. If we were to peel a layer of an onion, it doesn’t cause the burning like cutting it. Yet, we use onions to bring flavor to our food and most often cut them up.

One day I was pondering on the scriptures and the Lord talked to me about an onion. He said we are like an onion, made up of many layers. Often one layer has sin attached to it, and when it isn’t repented of then another layer grows over it. It is much like a hardened heart that has been calloused.

If we receive the correction from God immediately when we sin, he peels away that layer away and it is gone forever. It is when there is sin in our lives that we haven’t repented of that causes the tears. Then, instead of peeling back that layer God must cut deeper to get rid of it. This is when it burns deeply in our spiritual eyes because we have failed in our walk with God. We kept that sin buried under many layers and eventually the layers caused us to ignore it. Yet, God sees it there. He may even give a nudge to repent of it, but often we just ignore it again until it is harder and harder to remove.

How much more pleasant it is to let a layer be peeled through repentance, than to have to cut through several layers to get to that sin that has been buried. 

Repentance must be a daily habit. Just like we bathe in the natural daily, we must do the same thing spiritually. Like onions, it is a choice to be peeled or cut. I would say it is better to be peeled.

PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

As you sit and ponder the what ifs, I must tell you my child that this is not faith. Fear is motivating you not to trust me. You must come humbly before my throne of grace and ask of me. I am the God that said I would supply all your needs. You have been trusting often in the arm of the flesh, and the arm of the flesh will let you down. You must cast every care upon me and allow me to carry your burdens. Did I not tell the apostle Paul that my strength is made perfect in his weakness? I would say the same to you, my child. I am perfecting things in you and when you are weak, that is the time that you will see that I alone can carry you through the hard times. I have said that I would shake everything that can be shaken, and the things happening in your life are the shakings. They will intensify, and only those that put their entire hope and trust in me will get through the days ahead. You have reasoned it out with your mind, but you must stop this. You must not try to figure things out. There is no faith in this. You must cast down imaginations and stand strong in faith in my promises. Speak life over yourself. Do not speak the problem. For every time that you speak the problem instead of the promise you become weaker and weaker. Have I not told you that I would be the one to sustain you? Then put your trust in that and stop trying to work things out in your mind. I speak to your spirit. Satan speaks to your mind. I bring faith and Satan brings fear. Often you are paralyzed in fear instead of trusting me with your whole heart. I must correct you today my child so that you come back to the faith that is necessary in the days ahead. You will see that I will not fail you. Oh yes, your faith is being stretched, but it is necessary to bring you into a total dependance upon me. I love you my child and only have the best plan for you. Now take a deep breath and start praising me for loving you enough to correct you saith the Lord.
