Blessed with an account.

The enemy has a way of trying to intimidate us. I allowed him to get into my mind for a very long time. Afraid to be me, afraid to be who God has called me to be. God has reminded me that I am his and that he loves me, just like he loves each of you. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of who we are in Christ.

For a long time, I was embarrassed to show the world that I had found Christ. I wasn’t embarrassed by God but embarrassed of my own past. I had sinned so much that I allowed that to be my excuse for keeping quiet about God. I thought who would listen to me after all the things I had done? How can I be a witness of Christ after the sins I have committed? I thought people would always reflect on the bad and not the good.  Then I realized those were all seeds planted by the enemy. He knew that my testimony would touch others. He knew that my life would be an example no matter what I had done. It’s not too late to live for Christ. God has been good to me on countless occasions. He has blessed me beyond what I deserve. The enemy will use your past to try to intimidate you. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:7‬ NLT. Don’t allow the enemy to put fear in you. Share your testimony. Even if one soul is blessed by.

I shared this scripture before, but I felt lead to share it again. Luke 1:1-2 “Many people have set out to write accounts about the events that have been fulfilled among us. They used the eyewitness reports circulating among us from the early disciples.” You have your own account, use it! You are the eye witness for God’s goodness in your life.  Don’t allow the enemy to intimidate you and keep you quiet about how good God is to you. God wants the world to feel his love. It is our job to share how good he has been to us.

Be Blessed!

I am so happy you are sharing your account! I love how you used that scripture to draw it back to how we all have our accounts and we are to use it. I am glad you have chosen to be obedient in sharing yours and are on the path to setting others free!

Blockage in Your Tunnel!

Image
  Imagine driving on a beautiful afternoon. As your driving, you approach a tunnel. Your car enters the tunnel and suddenly things do not appear to be so brighter. As you continue to drive you can see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.   Many of our lives are like this. Everything appears to be perfect and then suddenly something dims our lights.    For some of us, there may be a huge truck driving in front of us, which is blocking the light at the end of the tunnel. We all have trucks in our lives that we need to move past to see the light. Some have big trucks and some may have small trucks.  What happens when you can get around the truck? The key is to keep driving. You cannot stop or else you’ll be the cause of traffic.  That’s how God feels about our lives. The enemy may try to cause blockage in our tunnels, but we have to keep going even if we can’t move around it. The cars behind us are the souls that God has assigned to us. When you quit ...

Blessing in Friendships.

Image
We all know by now that friendships don’t always last forever. Some friendships are just for a season. In that season God uses that person(s) to bring something out of you. I’m in a space in life where my circle of friends has changed. Although God has replaced the friends I have lost; I am truly grateful for each friendship. In this season God has given me friends that have become my sisters through Christ. Each one of them has played a part in my spiritual development; rather it is to hold me accountable for my thoughts and actions or to push me to new heights in my walk with Christ. God has given me sisters who won’t let me go back to partying and drinking alcohol. He has given me sisters to remind me of the spiritual gifts he has implanted in me. I shared this to say it is okay to lose friends because God will replace them with who you need in life. Although it may hurt or feel like a loss, it is actually a blessing. Each friendship helps build your character and integrity. T...

The Blessing in a Breakthrough!

Image
I have been going back and forth about doing this post. It has been tough to write about what I am currently dealing with. I am waiting for my “breakthrough”. Week after week the enemy has been attacking me. Now, most will say “when the enemy is working hard to break you, you are about to reach your breakthrough.” This post is not only to encourage you but to encourage me. The enemy has a job and that is to kill, steal, and destroy according to John 10:10.  We have to stand strong and trust in the Lord through these trying times. God will always be there.  “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.”  Isaiah‬ ‭43:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ We are not to fear the things that satan is throwing at us. Even when it seems like the trials and tribulations are never-ending. God has our backs. He will provide you with the strength and reso...
