It has been a long journey for me to learn to rely on God. When I first became a Christian I wanted nothing more than to have complete surrender to God in every area of my life. I prayed over every decision I made because I didn’t want to take a step in the wrong direction. I wanted to make sure that everything I did was God’s will for my life. What I didn’t realize I was doing was still a part of retaining control. I know that sounds very odd to think that praying and seeking the Lord in…
I have been studying the book of Habakkuk lately and it has really given me some beautiful insight. The reason I love this book is that it is still so relevant today. God didn’t need to continue to write down the history of His people because history just keeps repeating itself. Nations rise and fall, and people continue to whore themselves out to many other gods. They then get corrected and fall back into line with God’s plan for them, only to be led astray once more. Everything we need to know about the history of mankind is in the…
When God created us before time, He created us first as a spirit. God breathed us into being and we had a life before we had a body or soul. It’s not until God forms us in the womb that we develop a soul and body. Yet once we are born into this physical world we don’t remember the spiritual world. Our spirits are waiting to be renewed and brought back to life again in Christ. During the time we live without Christ, we allow our souls, or our flesh, to dominate our lives. We followed the prince of the power…
Many of us suffer from an identity crisis. We have completely forgotten our Biblical identity. We take up the identity of the enemy because we believe his lies over God’s truth. We also take on identity from the roles we play in this life. Parent, spouse, friend, co-worker, business owner, etc. become our identity instead of who God actually says we are. None of the roles we play or jobs we hold define us, they are simply one small facet of who we are. When we use shame, pain, or self-hate to define ourselves, we are agreeing with the devil…
Worship is one of the most important parts of who we are. God created us to worship Him, and it is our highest calling. However, when a person refuses to worship the God that created them, they become idolators. Being an idolator doesn’t need to be put into categories of good or bad, wrong or right. Idolatry should instead be looked at through the lens of unnatural and unhealthy. When a person idolizes things or people instead of God, they are putting themselves into a harmful position, by opening up doorways to the occult giving a foothold to the devil.…
Many people wonder what call God has on their lives. What does God want them to do? Some people already feel certain they are called to be pastors or leaders, servants or mothers. Everyone who is a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ has been called, but what exactly have they been called to do? Let’s start first by understanding what a call from God is. Is it hearing that still small voice of God actually calling you into a line of work? Is it a feeling or pull in a certain direction? When we look to God’s Word, here…
Over the years Jesus has done miraculous healing after miraculous healing in my life. I have seen redemption in so many ways, and recently I have been so thankful for how undeniable redemption has become. For years I believed I would never again be able to step into a church because the occult loyal alters in me would always reach out to the occult power in the church. Most churches seem to have a hidden coven within them, and attending church seemed to just fuel the darkness within me. Church after church I attended felt like torment as I was…
This past week has been very trying for me as I learn to navigate through extreme trauma triggers. The other day was my birthday, which I expected to be difficult. All ritual abuse survivors have been abused repeatedly on their birthdays, and so even if you have come to a place of freedom from physical rituals, you still have to battle through the spiritual aspect of it. Not only does the spiritual attack from astral rituals and human spirit harassment come into play, but also dealing with the emotional trauma of abuse that was perpetrated repeatedly. Even if you don’t…
Many days we feel the pressure of the enemies attack against us and it feels so overwhelming. There is only one thing that can overcome all the attacks from the devil, as well as all mind-control programming. I have found the more I heal from the emotional and spiritual wounds of my past, the more effect proclaiming the Word of God has over the trials I am currently in. In the past, I struggled to see any difference the Word of God made when I proclaimed it, but that was only because I was unable to see what Jesus was…
I have spent many years in deep suffering and pain and during that suffering, I have believed that God was allowing it to happen. He didn’t hear my prayers or my pleas for help. So many times I prayed and begged Jesus to help me, yet no relief came. I believed God had abandoned me and I hated Him for it. I think many people, Christians, and non-Christians alike go through periods of feeling abandoned by God. The question is why does it seem so often that God does not hear us or answer our prayers? Has He really left…
