We All Have Scars

Sorry, I haven't written in a while, but it's now 11pm, I haven't got any sleeping tablets left and felt I needed to write a post, so here I am!

We all have scars, some deeper then others, nonetheless they are there.

One scar that a lot of us have are battle wounds, battling with our minds. I have just started reading Joyce Meyer's Battlefield of the Mind that they sent me and already it has made me realise that, the devil has a lot of patience, he wants to do a job properly, so we need to stop him before he gets a chance. If not, things can go terribly wrong. We need to use spiritual weapons to defeat him:

Praise - our attention is fully on God and the Devil hates that.

Prayer - we are developing our relationship with God, one which the Devil cannot come between if it is strong enough.

The Word - the more we know the Bible, the more powerful it is as a weapon, Jesus used it as a weapon. He won.

Troubles may have held us captive in the past, but we need to let go of them, so the Devil can not use them as footholds, forgive people, forgive yourself and pray. The simplest, yet I think the hardest. 

So I've not been too great lately but I keep having to remind myself of the Truth, even if it's by listening to music, I need to reinforce it in my mind. 

We all have scars, some deeper then others, but they will soon become part of who you are, and when people ask you can say you fought a battle and won. 

You, yes, you reading this post are amazing and God loves you no matter what you have done, or have been through, never ever forget that...

God Bless

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” Corrie ten Boom

These lovely words are from Kari Jobe's song "Find You On My Knees".

I love these words, they show, no matter what we should have unbreakable trust in God. He knows what is best for us and he is the one in power. 

We need to remember these things:

God is trustworthy. 

2 Samuel 7:28 says:

"Lord God, you are God, and I can trust what you say. And you said that these good things would happen to me, your servant."

God never forgets his promises.

Psalm 9:10 says:

"Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you."

God listens to us.

Psalm 62:8 says:

"Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."

One thing I particularly love about this verse is the pour out your hearts to him bit. It's just lovely. We can pour out all our troubles and anxieties to him and he won't love us any less!

That may be a lot of baggage that you need to unload, and guess what you never have to pick it up again! 

Just put your trust in God, wherever you are, whatever you are facing, and however bad it is, God already carried it for you, so why do it again?!

This is an INCREDIBLE video to watch about trusting God, please watch it. It is very powerful!

God Bless

New Year New Start... This Time I Mean It!!

It's the second day of 2013 and right now it's 11.34 I should be asleep or at least attempting to but I wanted to write this. After a lot of messing around I finally got here (I'm on my iPod)
So I just read a bit of Galatians as part one of my New Years resolutions (read and study bible more) and I came across Paul asking a crowd who he was pleasing them or God? The answer was God. I want that to be my answer! I focus too much on what other  people think of me and I need to stop that!
Next thing is in a devotional I read that God completely understands me and what I'm going through. I need to renew my mind and focus on him! I also need to spend more time with him. Hard but I am going to try!
Wish me luck!!
God Bless
