I celebrated my 29th bday, as I look back at this year it has had its ups and downs. I remember crying and pouring my heart out, wanting God to change things. I remember giving up and deciding going to church and not being active was enough. I remember living life like a zombie and having a routine I wouldn't break but no heart in anything I did. As these memories kept coming i started to see I am not the same person. God has turned things around in my life. There was 4 major things that happened that changed my life...
I had to stop complaining- Things happen to good people. That's just life, its OK to be human and be upset, get hurt, tell God ur angry, but when that's done, get over it. See because in those hard time, we can grow, we learn, we love more, and most of all we depend on GOD with all our hearts.
Give it to GOD- after we expect our hard time, we need to say..... OK GOD, i am going through this and its hard, i feel like i am drowning, i feel like i cant get through this, lord i am giving it to you. U are my healer my provider, there is nothing impossible for you. LORD this burden this hurt, pain, hate, unforgiveness, this burden is urs lord. Give it to GOD, the enemy loves for us to hold on to our burdens, why? so we stay there and focus all our energy on the problem, we start to focus so much that it becomes our life. We live, walk and breath in our burden. We stop being effective at home, our jobs and in ministry.
THE TRUTH, GOD WANTS US FREE- The thing that happened that changed my life is i realized GOD wants me free. Free from sin, free from hurt, anger, unforgiveness,hate, all our burdens. God wants us to walk in a life that is blessed. “SO SIMPLE” yet it took me so long to see that GOD wants me free!!!!!!
Obedience- when i realized God wants me free, and live a life that is victorious I had to obey. When I fell before the lord, stopped complaining, gave my burden to GOD and realized GOD wanted me free i repented for not being obedient. When i started to obey GOD in every area of my life, work, marriage, ministry, and the little things, my life began to change. OHHH did my life change. EVERY AREA of my life. I felt free, felt I was walking in his will, this is an awesome feeling!!!!!!!
Why am i telling you this.....Well because even if we know Christ, AND have been going to church a long time, sometimes we get stuck, and we don't even know it. HOW do i know this is possible, because i was there not so long ago and now i am free. DON'T take me wrong I have a long ways to go, but i have come a longs ways. GOD is such a GOOD GOD he wants us to live life to the fullest, why are we letting ourselves and the enemy stop our blessings...GOD WANTS HIS PEOPLE FREE!!!!!
