Blessings of the Lord

God’s Word is not just idle words

”... Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you... They are not just idle words for you - they are your life.  By them you will live long...”

Deuteronomy 32:45-47

God’s Word is to be taken seriously, every single, solitary sentence, every single, solitary word.  For if you read God’s Word and not take to heart then your life will be a constant struggle, full of confusion, and the blessings that God has for you will never be within your reach.  Therefore, when you read God’s Word, take every single, solitary word to heart.  No word in His Word is idle nor worthless, and every word in His Word is full of wisdom - God’s very own wisdom - wisdom that we can’t ever outdo as humans, and wisdom that gives us life - a long, beautiful, and blessed life.

God answers when you pray

You can conquer all your fears!

"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?  Did you take God into your mind only, or did you also embrace him with your heart?  Did he get inside you?" - Acts 19:1-2 MSG

How deeply rooted is the Spirit within you?  This is a great question to think about and answer honestly. If God isn't deep-centered in your heart, then healing and wholeness are going to be a constant battle, a constant uphill struggle.  Yes, you might believe with your mind, but until you open your heart to let him in, nothing that you are holding on to right now that has to do with your unhealthy habits, hurts, and hang ups will ever be set truly free from within you.  So really dig down within yourself and see what is at the root of your core:  Is it God, or is it you; your flesh, the world in which you live and try to please, your fears, your upsets, your worry...?  Whatever it, or who, it may be, if it isn't God then it is time to focus on Him with more determination and hope than you ever have before.  Soon, your world will lighten, your lungs will fill with a fresh new air of life, and the road to recovery will be set, ever-so-clear, before you!  

You are God's child! And with him you can face and conquer all of your fears, hurts, habits, darkness's, and upsets!

You are so beautiful

“Abandon these silly god-superstitions and embrace God himself.  We don’t make God; he makes us, and all of this – sky, earth, sea, and everything in them.”  

Acts 14:14-15 MSG

Abandon these silly world-given thoughts and ideas of what perfection is; abandon your-own-self ideas of what perfection is; instead, embrace God and all that he is.  We didn’t make ourselves nor did the world make us, God made us!  We are his perfection and we ought to embrace every part of it.

Remember, God loves us unconditionally, so we should love ourselves in the same way: unconditionally, compassionately, and with reverence and awe of the amazing person we are becoming. Yes, we are God’s beauty.  We are his glory.  We are made in his image.  We are made to be victorious.  And, most of all, we are made to live life!!!

Our struggles are not against flesh and blood...

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”  Ephesians 6:12 NIV

Even though it may seem that man is your worst enemy, and nothing in life is going your way, that isn’t the case, it is Satan and all of his loyal helpers coming against  you, trying to attack your soul – don’t let them. Instead, be constantly on guard by staying, and standing, strong in the Lord– in Him the devil hasn’t a chance.  Remember, whatever may come against you, God has a way for you to conquer it.  So, don’t lose focus on Who is in control - with Him, your back is always protected.
