Wow! Is this for real? 🧐
Am I really back, friends!?! 😳
Whoooo! Praise the Lord Most High, I am!! 🙌
I am still ✍️ ✍️
And I am doing that and so much more by the grace of a very gracious God! 👆
I am back to life AND- after being locked out of this 5k follower FB account two years ago while I slept in rehab- I am now back into Julie Rocco-Jewels having lost only 500 of you!
Can you say “Happy Birthday, Love Jesus?” 🤭
It’s not about the followers guys- not at all, but it is about holding onto all I have left aside from Jesus Himself, which is the writing and photography on this account. Some of these photos are the oldest thing I own, for I had nothing when this writing journey commenced in December of 2017, and while I have even less possessions now, I am wealthier than I've ever been!
So.... trust that this profile has proven to be a 7 year testimony the enemy of Truth DID NOT and DOES NOT want you to hear about!! Not my testimony or anyone else's!
In fact, what I've endured as a result of my giving in to his relentless efforts to keep me running and distracted began as a terror three to four years ago, and now is just an annoyance my God crushes with His heel!
So what did I learn, and am still learning?? 🤔
Well, where do I start?
I am learning that NO ONE -especially me- can close a door that God wants open, nor can anyone -especially me- keep a door open that He wants shut!
I am learning that not everyone who blesses me is for me. ( I still might face consequences for what it took to learn that ).
I am learning that my stubborn rejection of wise instruction could have prevented many of my falls! If I want what someone else has, then I should do what they do.
I am learning that you can't trust someone if you don't have a relationship with them, and so the intimate time I have spent with the Lord has been a game changer when it comes to trusting in His will for me!
I am learning that "safety" exists ONLY under the covering of the Almighty God!
I am learning that being set apart is painful, and feeling "set apart" FROM the "set apart" is hard to understand, and certainly makes ME hard to understand, but my calling is mine. It was never intended to be a conference call.
I have learned that the adversary of life, love and of the One true God wasn’t after my life! He wasn’t interested in sending me home!
His greatest preoccupation with me was keeping me unsafe and homeless- ultimately wanting me "distracted" so that I would not feel settled and stable enough to FIRST get my heart right with the Lord, but also so that I could not “write the vision” God has purposed for me!
More than that, this counterfeit angel of light pulled every punch to make me crazy, to make me LOOK crazy and to harden my heart with bitterness and hatred.
Sure, he would have liked to have seen me die in my sin on the streets of Utica, Springfield, Holyoke, and/or Boston, and without the constant covering of Christ I would have!!
He didn't have to and He should not have, but He sure did reveal His mercy and power by protecting me, preserving me and providing for me while I lived, used and ate from within the kingdom of darkness.
See, the enemy definitely had great plans for my death, but Jesus chose me, and He does not fail nor does He make mistakes.
No, I do. I fail and I make mistakes, AND my greatest mistake was giving that devil all the power he used to trip me up.
No, that was my second greatest mistake.
My first grave error was in not surrending my will and my life to Jesus Christ the way that He calls me to surrender- the way I have been instructed to surrender. That was, and I won't lie, at times still is my greatest defect.
I'm just going to cut that out now, in the mighty name of Jehovah -Jireh!! ✝️
Where once the primary act of sabotage in my life was of my own doing, since being reborn in Him, I have witnessed the Bible come to life as people you'd never expect tried to take me out with sabotage.
I have seen the God of heaven use my enemies to rescue me and shelter me, while at times, His own people were used to shun me and isolate me, and visa versa, but still yet, no one will cause as much harm as I do by taking my will back.
For the harm I did cause, I am not going to say I am sorry, yet again.
I am going to continue to live this amends in His grace and forgiveness.
With that being said, to those who tested Him by trying to trip me up so you could see if He’d save me, or who hoped He wouldn’t, I pray He shows you the same mercy He blessed me with.
For those very few who still stand by me, even though I made choices that were painful to endure and agonizing to watch, I pray for exceedingly and abundantly more than what you pray for, and we know we can stand on that promise of His so long as our desires align with His will!
Listen, let the fact that you are reading these words be proof of that! I didn't ask to get back into this profile. I was locked out of my current phone and just wanted back into my current Apple ID, but Jesus loves to reveal His glory and one-up me, and man do I fall in love with Him more everyday just because of who He is!
My life alone is living testimony of everything that He is made of!
It testifies to His grace; His love; His power; His healing and so much more than that!
Yet those who know me know I was raised by a praying grandmother who died while I myself was still an antichrist, and perhaps the biggest one she knew.
So let this life testify also to His willingness to answer prayers- like the prayer that went on being prayed even long after she went home to be in Glory with Him, and continued being prayed even when I walked back into that darkness having tasted the sweetest life I would ever know in Him.
Anything I gain after life itself - most of all this chance to share His truth with you- is a tremendous bonus of a blessing!
Stay tuned friends. There is so much more to come!
Much love, and God bless!
