It has been a while since I have posted a lengthy blog and I would love to update today as I have sometime today to do so. I have no sense of direction on this post but I do hope you can see the Faithfulness of the God whom I believe in. I hope to inspire you to feel comfortable to talk to God and see that He listens and is actually willing to help when we ask for it.
I've realized so much recently how the practice of "taking your thoughts captive" can bring amounts of freedom into your life. I find myself, many times in the car, talking out loud to myself when I think negative thoughts. If I start to think that way I often speak up and say, "God I'm doubting how you think of me right now, I'm believing a lie that Satan has been telling me for 20 years and it is time to no longer do so. God, show yourself strong right now as I am weak in lies. Because of Jesus, and in Jesus, I now need to believe that I am Holy and a child of God. Holy Spirit reign this truth on me. Amen."
Do I feel instantly better? No, not always. Are my days being filled with more freedom as a whole? Absolutely. Scripture tells us to practice righteousness and not to instantly wake up and be it. Anyways, righteousness in us is Jesus. To that I say, then, practice talking to Jesus the one who makes you righteous. I promise you if you admit to him your weaknesses he will be glad to show you how strong He can be in that.
I am so thankful for the people God has placed in my life. They bring me so much joy and encouragement. I could never do anything to make-up for the love they show me. I'm believing for you and for me today that God is good, great and perfect enough for us.
Just this morning Aimee and I were talking about this...Aimee made a comment...you can not recieve anything from Satan because all things belong to God! You are right to turn straight to God and ask for cleansing of your mind and soul! God is Good! He was very confident in the creation He made in you! You are His!!
