Thank you God for spiritual warfare

⭐️ you know you have reached a new level of spiritual maturity when the enemy is coming in like a flood and you choose to thank God for the warfare that you are facing because you know that your blessing is right around the corner

It has been one thing after another the past couple of days and this morning was my breakthrough. Normally when things aren’t going my way, I will lose my patience and become frustrated. But I didn’t want anything steal the joy and peace that I have been experiencing this month. So when I was having some computer issues this morning, I took a pause and said out loud “Lord, I thank you for this spiritual warfare that I’ve been experiencing these last couple days because it lets me know that I am on the right track and my blessing is right around the corner.”

After saying that declaration out loud, my situation didn’t change but something shifted in my spirit. Instead of looking at my struggles as a block, it shifted my perspective to the one who can change the situation.

Why Jesus? Poem written by me

15 years ago I wrote a poem as part of a contest for K-LOVE. I created a video to read and posted it on YouTube! 😁

You ask me “Why Jesus?”
So here is my story
To thank him for what he’s done for me
And give him all the glory
I came before the Lord, broken & ashamed
My sins had made me dirty & left a crimson stain
But God in his infinite love already had a plan
To send his son to die on the cross
And save the souls of man
He welcomed me with open arms
And cleansed me, white as snow
His spirit is now within me
Wherever I may go
I found his promises are true
And his love will never cease
He is our counselor, mighty God
Everlasting Father & Prince of Peace

Waiting is never wasted..

Via Life Church on Facebook

Amen!! I have been waiting since 2012 for a specific promise from God to come to pass. But, God!! In his grace, mercy and goodness knows when the time is right and he has already been giving me glimpses of the fulfillment! The waiting has been long, but God is never late and if he had given it to me before he knew I was ready, I would have blown it.

Don’t give up if you’re still waiting on a promise from God. Because once he finally reveals why you had to wait so long, it makes sense and it makes the waiting so much easier! 😭🙌

Let your light shine before others

“There are 2 ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Edith Wharton

This quote came up in my memories today and it reminded me of the Bible verses in Matthew 5:14-16 where Jesus tells his disciples to let their light shine before others so that they may see their good deeds and glorify the father in Heaven.

If I claim to be a follower of Jesus, am I trying to make myself look good or am I actually denying myself and letting God work through me? At the end of the day, it’s not about me. My wants. My needs. My feelings. It’s about loving others and pointing them to Christ. ✝️

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your Heavenly Father – Matthew 5:14-16, NLT
