I.C.I.N.G. (By God) and “I Sing” (Imaginations Created in New Graphics By God)

By: Nancy H. Abiera

 

Afew months ago, I was in a very busy and stressful time of my life. I went to Florida on an emergency to care for my “mother-in-love” (mother-in-law) who needed 24-hour care. I instantly got promoted like Sharon Cuneta as “Caregiver.” My “father-in-love” (“father-in-law), fell and broke his back and was diagnosed with prostrate cancer within a few weeks. Since my “father-in-love” was in the hospital, we admitted my “mother-in-love” to a nursing home before I went back to Chicago.

Three days after, I flew to San Francisco. We drove to Reno and Lake Tahoe with my aunt, sister, cousins and niece. A week passed, I flew to Seattle to cross the border to Vancouver, B.C. A few hours before my departure for Seattle, I got invited by another cousin to have dinner. She volunteered to take me straight to the airport after. As we were exchanging stories, it dawned on me that I was going to Canada without a passport. Oops, I forgot my passport!

At first, I started to think what possibly could happen. I weighed things. I immediately caught myself leaning to worry that I may not be able to cross the border. I remember reading in some newspaper that the Immigration have tighten security on borders after 9/11 Terrorist attacks. The requirement since then was to have a passport when crossing Canada and Mexico. Stop!!! I suddenly quit the never-ending negatives and aborted my thoughts filled with worries. I repented and confessed. Then I asked the Lord to give me an I.C.I.N.G. (Sounded “I Sing”) with the acronym spelled out (Imaginations Created In New Graphics) so I did sing to myself, “Don’t you worry ’bout a thing…”

All of a sudden, the Lord gave me a picture. I saw myself crossing America to Canada border with no hassle. God further gave me a confirmation in the Scriptures in Isaiah 22:22, “I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; what he opens, no one can close; what he closes, no one can open.”

Even my flight got delayed and I arrived Seattle at 2:22 am. My nephew and niece picked me up from Seattle Airport and we drove a couple of hours to Vancouver. Surely, the picture God gave me was exactly what happened. I got two keys: one key opened Canada for me that no one can close. Another key closed the doors (to the enemy among the Canadians) and no one can open. While in Canada, the Lord opened the doors is many people’s hearts for healing. I was there witnessing while the Lord was using me as a vessel for His healing to many people. There were physical, emotional, relational and spiritual breakthroughs. The Lord showed me miracles, signs and wonders right in front of my eyes. What an awesome God we serve!

All I did was ask for the I.C.I.N.G and He gave it to me so sweetly. And then “I Sing” in response. I praise Him for His goodness and He showed me and the people His greatness. I did not give my mind to the enemy for worries. That door was shut. God even downloaded to me some conversations I had with Him in the past that: “Our mind is the “Pray Ground for God” and not the “Play Ground for the devil”.

I could have chosen to let the devil play on my mind, worry and think about all the A.N.T. (Automatic Negative Thoughts) but instead, I prayed. I chose and waited on what God had for me. I worshipped and sang endlessly in my thoughts as I did not want to sound annoying. I want to be anointed not annoying. He is the ever present help in my trouble. Moreover, He can do the impossible. Nothing is too difficult with God. My focus switched to A.T.T. (Automatic Truth Thoughts) and got connected with Him. I meditated on his words, and I sang with my mind agreeing with Him. I opened the door to God with the key He gave me and closed the door to the devil with the other key.

You may think: “She’s weird!” I think and say: “I’m wired!”

You may start: “Worrying”. I would start: “Worshipping” (Singing to God)

With God’s revelation, I did not “cheat” but all I had was a “chat” with God. You too can do that. He is waiting. . .

Do you want to experience I.C.I.N.G? Then I encourage you to FaceTime God. You may use some of your Facebook time and seek God’s Face. Always choose “On A Bright Side” and experience the blessings of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, etc.

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable – if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praisedwell on these things. Do what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:4-9 ”

For though we live in the body, we do not wage war in an unspiritual way, since the weapons of our warfare are not worldly, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments and every high- minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to obey Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

I love you readers with the love of the Lord but God loves you the most. Smile and be a blessing. . .
