What's Your Mantra?”

What's Your  Mantra?
Mary Ann Wray


As a former student of Transcendental Meditation, I was given a “Mantra” on the day of my ‘initiation’ to repeat and meditate upon. This mantra would supposedly enable me to ‘transcend’ the negativity and ways of thinking that would obstruct my ‘higher self’ or reaching a greater level of consciousness. The Lord opened my spiritual eyes one day, and allowed me to see and hear what I was chanting to. I literally saw a demonic face laughing at me and a spirit of fear filled my room. I immediately jumped out of my lotus position, pulled open the window shades and said out loud, "Forget this! I'm done!" Shortly afterwards I was introduced to the glorious person of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit reminded me today of this and said, “What is your NEW TRUE mantra?” In other words, what is it that I meditate on, confess and rehearse in my mind and with my mouth on a daily basis that makes God's reality in my life more evident day by day? What is it that will enable me to transcend the negativity around me and being hurled at me by the enemy of my soul? What is it that will enable me to achieve and maintain the Christ IN ME consciousness (not the “New age Christ”) given to me through the New Birth?
You see, I later learned that mantras in T.M. are actually demon entities in the Hindu religion. What I was doing was repeating the name of a demon, and in so doing drawing ‘strength’ from that entity. I renounced that once I learned what it was, but I had and have to ‘replace’ that wrong source of ‘strength’ with Jesus, His Word, my confession of that Word and the renewing of my mind with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.
Zechariah 4: 6-7 says, “It’s not by might, it’s not by power, but it’s by my spirit says the Lord! What are you mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel (one sown in Babylon: confusion by mixture) you will become level ground. Then e will bring out the capstone to shouts saying “Grace, grace to it (the mountain)!”
What’s your mantra today? Mine is Jesus, grace, mercy, righteousness in Christ and love! As I study and memorize His Word, Holy Spirit brings to my remembrance passages and promises that I repeat OUTLOUD and meditate on daily! So can you! You need to beloved!

Yours in the journey!
Mary Ann

The Whipping Post

The Whipping Post An Early Morning Revelation 1/17/19 By Mary Ann Wray “So then Pilate took Jesus and had Him scourged (flogged, whipped). And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe around Him; and they kept coming up to Him, saying [mockingly], “Hail, King of the Jews [Good health! Peace! Long life to you, King of the Jews]!” And they slapped Him  in the face .” John 19: 1-3 AMP   As I awoke this morning I had a quick vision. I saw Jesus’ back being torn to shreds by the cat of nine tails while he stood silently tied to a Roman Scourging Column. There He stood; totally innocent of any wrong doing and being punished for being righteous. He told me today “Write about the whipping post.” I asked, “Lord, why do you want me to write about the whipping post?” He said, “I want my people to see that it’s one thing to suffer for wrong doing but it’s another to suffer for love and righteousness. Many of my...

What if?

  November 14, 2020 Mary Ann Wray   What if?  These "What if" thoughts came to me while finishing dinner tonight...  Maybe God was trying to show me something. I don't know, but I believe we will certainly find out in His time. While some declare certain victory of their political candidate and others are still theorizing and prognosticating over what will take place, bitter words and divisiveness is being sown around daily like wild seeds. Meanwhile, I think the Father sits back on His throne shaking His head and even chuckling at our human efforts to make things right and/ or figure out the way things ought to be.... Scripture says that "God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways our higher than our ways!"  Here are some thoughts that came to me this evening.... I don't claim they were necessarily from God-maybe so, maybe not. On the other hand, these ideas are definitely not comfortable to my way of life! Here goes....

Paper Lies and the Law of Love

Paper Lies and The Law of Love… Mary Ann Wray I had a dream a while back where I was ministering the word of God to a congregation of people, when all of a sudden, little yellow pieces of paper (similar to post it notes) with legs began running out of the church towards the foyer door then out of the building. As the little papers with feet ran out of the building, people were being set free from bondages and the place was emptied out as the Holy Spirit washed over God’s flock with the word of the Lord. I asked the Lord what these pieces of paper were and He said, “Lies”.  You see, when God’s word is declared, that is free of ad-mixture, people can get liberated. The lies of the enemy, are like post-it notes.   They stick to our thinking and declare and decree things over us and to us that are untrue. They are half truths about God, ourselves and others. These “paper lies” seek to rule and dominate our thinking frustrating the flow of God’s grace and power...
