Child of God: Try not to let satan and his tactics distract you! Remember that it's the lies and deception all around you in this world that has sabotaged and contaminated everything and everyone. It can be frustrating but hang in there! Keep walking in Truth and righteousness. God sees all!
God's truth is the Truth and can't be tainted.
Sometimes we have to check ourselves and recognize if we're being led by our "personal emotions," what we think is "good" from our own worldly bias and contamination or if it's self-sabotage.
So, let the Holy Spirit guide you so that your guided by the deep things of God---God's Truth and love, not the "world".
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Romans 13:14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.
Words are very powerful. Take time and analyze what your saying before it leaves your mouth. Sometimes, it's better to just be quiet if you aren't sure. Instead of gossiping, spreading lies on others and slandering---be quiet and pray for them. Cause if you aren't recommending they return to Jesus with it, are you edifying the body of Christ? Or just being messy and insecure?
Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
Proverbs 21:23 Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.
Proverbs 17:27 Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
Proverbs 6:16 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Holy Spirit isn't a liar. God isn't a God of confusion. Jesus didn't die on the cross for nothing. And it's okay if we get "emotional" at times because we're humans!
Even Jesus wept.
Luke 19:41 Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem 41 But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. 42 “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. 43 Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. 44 They will crush you into the ground and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place because you did not recognize it when God visited you.
Get back up if you fall, Child of God!
Don't stay there in the gunk, lies, guilt, shame, deception, or sin.
Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Ask and seek God for strength, forgiveness, help and direction - Go to Him for THE REAL PEACE and Truth!
Let's BRING BACK FAITH AGAIN!
Toodles!
