Life as lessons



Life is full of lessons, either we welcome it or we run away from it , embrace it or fight it. I have seen so many people  including myself that refused to learn the hard lessons in life and wonder why the cycle never ends, what is missing? 
You may wonder, what about abuse? rape? death? and rejections? etc...  Yes, those are life experiences that are hard to overcome and I do come from a back round of abuse.  I can say this, I did learn something out of that, it is that the enemy wants to destroy each and every single one of us and he would love to keep us in bondage. He wants to keep us quiet, to keep us hating,  to keep us full of resentment, stressed out, blinded, fearful, and keep us far away as possible from knowing the whole truth of the living word because he fears of what you and I may become in the future for  God's kingdom. 

 I did run, I did not want to confront the emotions that I worked so hard to become numb to. I built walls to secure my self, walls thick enough that essentially shut God out.  

 But what I did not realize at the time was that the waves that were meant  to crush me are the same waves that would lift me higher.

 The hard lessons, the pressure, the struggles can makes you stronger, when you realize that it doesn't define you  but mold you and you become aware of who you are in him You become very dangerous to the enemy. 

 What was meant to destroy you, God's turns it around and makes it a work of art. The storms in our lives refines us. However, all this requires you and I to surrender to his will. 

I encourage you to let go, confront the fears, when life doesn't make sense hang on to  His promises, His words. 

He will never let you down.

 Lord, even when your path takes me through
The valley of deepest darkness
Fear will never conquer me, for you already have!
You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way.
Your authority is my strength and my peace.
The comfort of your love takes away my fear.
I'll never be lonely, for you are near. Psalms 23:4 TPT

  Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, 
whenever you face trials of many kinds,  
because you know that the testing of your faith 
produces perseverance.  
Let perseverance finish its work so that you 
may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4

 GB,

Don't fall for those kinds attacks against you. The battlefield is in the mind so take every thought captive.The Word of God is our sword of the spirit. Jesus was the Word made flesh. Our lives are to become the Word of Jesus made flesh. As his body, we, too, become living swords. Take those promises and fight back! The weapons we use are not human ones. Our weapons have power from God and can destroy the enemy’s strong places. We destroy people’s arguments,     and we tear down every proud idea that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We also capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ.   Corinthians 10:4-5 -M

Look at your giant already defeated. God has conquered it all. Despite what you are facing, look beyond the giant, the victory is already awaiting. You and I are to TRUST in God, when he said he conquered the world, it means he defeated every circumstance that you and I  have faced and will face. The waves that crashes unto our lives its not meant to drown us, it is meant for us to cling on to HOPE, which is the anchor of our lives which is strong and sure and keeps us safe. The storms may be strong but his presence is stronger.  Blessings M

Servanthood

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Romans 12:11 NIV But as for you, be clear-headed in every situation [stay calm and cool and steady], endure every hardship [without flinching], do the work of an evangelist, fulfill [the duties of] your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:5 AMP Serving is the heart of the Christian life. One of our responsibilities God gives us is to serve one another.  We are to be encouraging and passionate about spreading the word of God. We are to imitate Jesus; He is the ultimate example of serving.  Servanthood is one who is known as obedient and faithful to Christ.  Paul encouraged not only Timothy but all the Christians in Rome how to serve others. We are to live a lifestyle of servanthood. In every aspect and situation of our lives, we are to be good representatives of Christ in fulfilling our duties as Christians with spiritual fervor. I believe as servants of God we must have a heavenl...
