kila82 if you don't help yourself you can't help anyone. It's making sure a plane is perfect to fly. If not it will destroy people. The same with you or anyone. We must be in the healing process which I believe is a life long thing that we will always have to deal with. Some things have to be cut from the root ie cursing,dranking to throwed,sexing,flipping people off,bisexuality etc--just naming things not saying you..

Right now is the time some are going through a half time season. I know I am. When you think half time what comes to mind. You get to get some water,go to the potty,get encouragement and get some new strageies before going back into the game. Your 1st 2 quarters might have been hard but the 2nd half doesn't have to be. It's time to dig our heels in and reach out to the solid people in your life. You can't do it alone. PM me if you want .

Amen thank u for this! You're absolutely right! It has been my primary goal for the past month to work on my healing by discovering my identity in Christ and it has been eye opening. My previous post was something I wrote while studying my identity in Christ and I'm so excited to learn more. Just trying to remain focused and sober :) so far so good

I appreciate u always being so encouraging towards me and positive. You have a gift for encouragement. You understand what that person may be feeling and you speak directly to the issue that us causing them to feel that way. It really is a gift.
 
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart…” Jeremiah 1:5

There are 180 million to 400 million sperm present in semen during one normal ejaculation. Each one of these sperm contains 23 chromosomes−a special configuration of traits uniquely assigned to that one sperm. In order for an individual to be created, one of these sperm has to be determined, resilient and powerful enough to make through the vaginal canal, to the uterus, then to the oviduct or fallopian tube, through the corona radiata and into an egg cell. This is no simple excursion and very few sperm even make it to the uterus. This journey results in the death of millions and millions of sperm. The female egg also contains 23 selectively arranged chromosomes specifically exclusive to that particular egg. When a sperm cell finally breaks through an egg those 23 chromosomes from each one of these cells combines, forming a unique individual. Unique can be defined as “existing as the only one or as the sole example, have no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable”…do you really think you aren't special? Do you really think you are a nobody? Do you really think you have no purpose for being here?

From the moment of conception, the moment that the sperm fertilized the egg and combined together to create the incredible you God had in mind it has been the enemy's goal, desire, ultimate pleasure and delight to try and destroy you. To kill you. We are engrained with a specific purpose that is wonderful and extraordinary and if we die we might not get to carry out that purpose. For some of us, the devil attacks our minds making us insecure and unsure of who we are, for others the enemy send physical and sexual abuse and tries to break us down and for others the enemy uses drugs and alcohol to keep us in a poisonous bondage where we are ineffective in all things. The devil wants to see us completely destroyed and ignorant to our purpose. We need to awaken. We need to realize who the real enemy is...it's not people, or family members, or political candidates, or our abusers or even ourselves. The real enemy is satan and his suggestions and his tricks and his traps that we continue to fall for over and over again.

I am tired of letting him win. I'm tired of dwelling on my past. I'm tired of not getting the healing that is available to me. I'm tired of sleeping through life. I'm tired of setting petty goals that help no one but myself. I'm tired. But most importantly, I'm ready for change.

PREACH!!!!

This is powerful....just powerful.:clap: May I take this and use it?

Thank you for sharing this...just powerful!
 
Jesus!

wow, God is real, hear...I love him...:yep:


I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.


I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.

And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear for "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.." (Romans 1:16)

no worries...they'll eventually update all the vids so you can enjoy them later. They'll be on the SermonIndex channel on YT.


Laela ...I totally missed this last night:nono:. Because of scheduling issues, I couldn't see it. Hopefully, they will show it again.
 
Nice & Wavy I'm coming over your house. I mean you will have those cookies,lobster mac and cheese and now your showing us your guest bathroom..I am a good house guest,I clean up well and I'm quite lol.


Lord help the hurting folks.I just had two people who I can see pain in their hearts. A lady hugged me saying your such a nice lady. Inside I'm like I'm not nice at all I'm sorta rough around the edges but I am not so insensitive to the pain of others. I feel heavy by the thoughts of their pain. Help us all accept the things we can't pray away.
 
I went to bed last night and also woke up with a tremendous urge to seek God's face and his heart. I really want to know God. I already have a relationship with Him but I am sensing the urge to go deeper. I'm going to start some personal Bible studies on this area and see where that leads me.......
 
Morning Blessings...

Matthew 5:11
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

It’s amazing how
we believe everything
we see on the 7:00pm news.

We believe everything
we read in the newspaper
and magazines, but we're
quick to question the
words in the Bible.

The Word of God is true
whether we believe it or not.
His words are fixed and
forever settled in the heavens.

Psalm 119:160 – “Thy word is true from
the beginning: and every one of thy
righteous judgments endureth for ever.”
 
@Nice & Wavy I'm coming over your house. I mean you will have those cookies,lobster mac and cheese and now your showing us your guest bathroom..I am a good house guest,I clean up well and I'm quite lol.

You are more than welcome :love3:

No, that's not my bathroom, although I have a large bathroom, it looks nothing like this!
 
Post from one of my spiritual mothers

"It is not the mind which gives understanding it is the Spirit in a man. 1Cor.2:11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him.
Job friends tried to sort things out regarding Job's sufferings with their minds. We have the Spirit which is from God. 1Cor. 2:12 We have not received the Spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God.
One of God's name is El Gibbor, El-might, strength, power. Gibbor- strong, mighty. Any of us can be a Gibbor if El Gibbor is living in us. Joel 3:10 Let the weak say I am strong. We also have all God's nature and power in us because we believe in Jesus Christ Col.2:9.
I believe in this time and season we have to change the way we look at ourselves. We are strong because He is in us. You must be determined to walk by faith and cross over into your destiny. 2Cor.5:7 We walk by faith not by sight. God Bless"
 
When faced with erroneous accusations, keep your head up and keep living. There might be more going on in that person than you realize. We're not responsible for making people like nor love us but we are responsible to be just, loving and kind towards others. Whatever they have wrong about you, let it be.
 
From the Ministry of Encouragement...



This advice is simple,
be sober (keep your mind on Jesus)
be vigilant (keep your eyes on Jesus)
because Satan knows that it’s so
much easier for him to get to you
when you are concentrating
and focusing on something
or someone other Jesus.


Watching Jesus is the
same as watching out!


I Peter 5:8 – “Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour.”
 
Morning blessings...

Genesis 12:2-3
"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
 
So amazed at how God uses me despite my past and my mess. When people counted me out, he called me out. :notworthy
 
When others called me a mess God called me Blessed...When I was told I wasn't nothing but a whore God removed the w,r, and e and replaced them with a ly making me holy..when they told I'm not worth a thing God told me I'm the head and not the tail I'm above and not beneath..

Girl! You're about to have me shouting in this office! Yess!
 
There is nothing we can do to make God love us more than He already does, to accept us more than He already does. NOTHING!!!

Keeping God's commandments and obeying him DOES NOT make HIM love US more!! Keeping his commandments and obeying him is what WE should do to show him how much WE love HIM!!

Just like an earthly relationship, actions speak louder than words! We can tell God we love him everyday, and we should, but we should also desire to show him how much we love him through our obedience. This is my personal revelation for this season in my life :)
 
When Jesus was sound asleep on the ship (Mat 8), the disciples mistakenly thought He didn't care.... forgetting what He'd already told them on the other side. While it's good to have godly counsel from others... Jesus is my example. I should surely follow.... oh, me of little faith.

I agree kila82 when you love the Lord you will obey Him. It's a direct relation.

As simple as it sounds, I didn't understand this until recently. How can I say I love God but then go out get wasted, not tithe or help others, curse, act crazy, etc...

I was lying. I didn't know it at the time but I was def lying to God, myself and other people every time I opened my mouth and had the nerve to tell people I was a Christian smh...

I believe this but then I remember that we are human. The thing I want to stop pulls me more and the things I need to do are much less desirable. God wouldn't view you as harshly as you are viewing yourself. It was all apart of the process. When you know better you do better..
 
"No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow your progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who is not trying"
 
From the Minsitry of Encouragement ...

God raised us up far above
our old sins, missteps,
excess baggage,
financial struggles,
lack & poverty,
our broken hearts,
confusion,
broken promises,
busted relationships,
our dysfunctional families,
and old habits.

He picked us up just
so we could sit down
with Jesus.


Ephesians 2:6 - “And hath raised us
up together, and made us sit together
in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”
 
Morning Blessings


Psalms 119
1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of the LORD.
2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart—
