Stand Firm!!!

Read Acts 20:18-38

No matter what the situation

may look like, no matter the

threats, no matter how fearful

the enemy may try to make you.

DO NOT WAIVER IN THE TRUTH.

DO NOT GO AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD.

BE OBEDIENT, TRUST THE WORD OF GOD.

DO NOT ALLOW THE WORDS, VIEWS, OR WAYS

OF BOTH PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, AND PEOPLE

IN THE CHURCH CAUSE YOU TO 2ND GUESS OR

GO AGAINST WHAT GOD HAS SHOWN YOU, OR TOLD YOU TO DO.

"God has the FINAL say so"

March 11, 2010 Journal Entry...

"Before I proceed to share this entry with you all I'd like to answer a question that I'm sure readers of  my blog have probably asked themselves before... Why does this blog contain such personal words/info? In a nutshell, I truly believe that my experiences, thoughts, mistakes, etc are not only for me to learn from, but also for others. Enjoy ;)"

I'm so upset and annoyed with myself. I can't just go blaming things on "my flesh", "the devil", or "the world". Sometimes it's just me, my lack of self-control, and my lack of understanding. But I'm learning just how desperately I need Jesus. I AM WEAK..."I AM NOTHING WITHOUT CHRIST" has become a reality to me. The Gospel, who God is, who I am, ALL of it has become ALIVE to me.  I will die without Jesus, Literally. I sometimes allow these earthly things and problems cloud my mind/vision. But reality is, my heart knows truth and that's what I need to hold on to. Thank You Jesus that if I lose my grip, He's there to hold me up, there to pull me back into the light of truth. Circumstances will no longer determine how I feel, or if I will trust the Lord or not. I will trust the Lord at all times, His word shall continually be in my mouth.

-Selah

Don't allow negative words spoken over you/by you

the opportunity to dwell in your heart. Speak Life and

only receive/give room for Life to dwell in and around you.

Don't allow death/negative words shape who you are in Christ!

No Worries

Read Isaiah 45:9-13

God is in control. He is at work in me and around me.

He is my maker, therefore He knows what I need.

He will direct my way. As long as I stay submitted

to Him I have NOTHING to worry about.

"Thirsting For God"

*memorize* Psalm 63:1-8

Life without Jesus. 

Time without a personal, intimate relationship without Jesus 

is like hours, days, months, years in the desert without a drop of water.

(what would you do to find that water?)

Life without Jesus.

is empty & worthless.

(Acts 20:24)

Psalm 63:5

JOY! FULFILLMENT!....

I'm beginning to realize just how much I've missed out on 

by looking to be fulfilled by others and other things.

My search was meaningless. Why?

because I would have never found what I was looking for aside/apart from Jesus Christ.

(Read Psalm 103:1-5, 107:8-9)

Psalm 63:6

Even as I sleep, In my thoughts I want to have, and remember thoughts of You.

(Before I sleep spend time with God in His word. Why? So my thoughts are narrow, no distractions) 

-Deu4:9 & Ps. 77:11

"Remembering what God has done in the past, 

will strengthen and encourage you in times of weakness and woundedness." -anonymous

• I will trust in the shelter of your wings (Read Psalm 62 & 63)

• SELFLESS!!!

• Everything that I am, Everything that I have, is in and from God. It's sad that I constantly have to remind myself of this most sobering reality. But I will NOT be moved, I will NOT be persuaded. I WILL stand firm. If this what it takes, then I'm down. I WILL FIGHT!!

• Feed your gift with the WORD!!!

It is Love, Real & True Love

I don't want to Love You because of your gifts, talents, miracles, etc. I want You for who You are. 

I Love You for You first and foremost. 

No matter what the enemy tries to make me believe about myself. 

I will NOT believe it. 

Nor give it room to manifest itself in my life. I am all of Yours, completely Yours God, my heart is Yours. Conform it, and my thoughts to Your ways. 

I will obey your commands, NOT what "Christianity" looks like, 

or how "Christians" do it/act. LEAD me Jesus. Direct my path. LEAD ME. 

I don't want to be conformed into the image of this world, 

religion, church, "church people", christians, etc. 

NO IMAGE, BUT YOURS LORD. 

Help me Lord, to stay focused on You, The True and Living God.
