The Blessing In My Blog !

Image
May 2019 I decided I wanted to start a blog page. I had zero experience with blogging, but I knew this was something I wanted to do. I allowed the Holy Spirit to use me through blogging. I studied the word of God more then I have ever in my life. Week after week I sent my blogs out to close peers even the ones who weren't believers. Since starting my blog page one of my readers has given her life to Christ. She would send me messages saying how my blogs were changing her mindset. God gives us the ability to plant or water seeds. " The one who plants and the one who waters work together for the same purpose." 1 Corinthians 3:8.  I use my blog for one purpose. That purpose is to be a blessing to someone else so God can make a difference in their life as he has done in mine. I am okay with being the one who plants the seed.  I thank God for giving me the talent to write. God has given you a talent.  Use your talent to be a blessing to someone else. Be Blessed!

Blessed With A Good Teacher.

We live in a culture filled with lies. This generation is not teachable. They want you to tell them what they want to hear as opposed to what they need to hear. This generation wants to hear what makes them feel good instead of what makes them better. They are comfortable living through the lies of the enemy because it puts them on a high horse. God is looking for good teachers in this season. He wants people who aren't afraid, to tell the truth, and live the truth; even if that means you have to be different.  "Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth."  2 Timothy 2:15. You will have friends who will ask you for your opinion and you can't be afraid to tell them the truth. You can not be afraid to teach the word of God. There's a blessing that comes with correction. Lead by example. Preach the good new despite how it looks and how ot...

The Blessing In Brokenness!

Image
We are all victims of brokenness. God has called the "broken".Through your brokenness, there is a triumph. We shall overcome by the blood of the lamb. Brokenness is designed to destroy your purpose, but with faith in God, your purpose cannot be destroyed. "Do not touch My anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm" Psalms 105:15. Your brokenness is apart of your testimony. Most people would say "you are damaged goods" because you have been shattered. "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and saves such as have a contrite spirit" Psalms 34:18.  When a believer is broken it causes you to seek the Lord harder than you ever have before. That is all God wants from us. I was in a relationship that I thought was heaven sent. Deep down inside I knew with all the toxic things we were going through that God did not place me in that relationship. The relationship broke me down and the only thing that could lift me back up was God. My broke...

The Blessing In An Accountability Partner!

There are times we all slack off. I recall a time before I had completely given my life to Christ, I had fallen short. I was battling wanting to be like my friends and wanting to live for Christ. I had gone out to the club one night with my friend. The outfit I wore was inappropriate. I was uncomfortable in it, but I wanted to look like everyone else. I felt convicted.  After church that Sunday one of my fellow sisters pulled me aside and she said "Have you lost your mind? What's going on with you? I have seen the outfit you wore the other night in a picture that was posted on Facebook." At that moment I realize that I could no longer live a double life. I knew I had to choose who I wanted to serve. My decision was to live for Christ. I thank God for my accountability partner. Iron sharpens iron. My life changed for the better. I shared this to say it's okay to be an accountability partner. It's okay to check up on each other. We do not know what someone is b...
