vengence

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. -Romans12:19

    I'm no saint. Far from it. I sin, I get upset and I get mad especially when I get offended and when someone decides to turn my "always positive mood" into all too negative that I sometimes forget that I am representing HIS name. That I am Glorifying HIS name. And by getting pissed and having these foolish and pay back thoughts isn't doing me any good. It does not reflect the name of my creator. Instead, I am allowing Satan to take advantage of my emotions. And that is NOT good at all.

    We are all so BLESSED to have Christ as our partner in everything. He who reminds us of how to act and react in certain unwanted situations. I was so reminded that it is all about HIM. He is in control and vengence is HIS! He is for us and not against us. (Romans8:28)

    One of the common effects of offense is pride. Which is why we have to remind ourselves to be humble. To be in tuned with God and remember that HE is in charge if we allow HIM to fully take hold of us and our lives. Everything wil turn out fine. :)

Stay Blessed!

     As I was feeling condemned by sin and by the master of condemnation himself, Satan. God spoke to me. So strongly in HIS firm and secure voice. He spoke despite my sin, despite my filth, despite me hurting Him...again. He still spoke to me and comforted me.
    Truly, no one can ever measure the greatness and love of our God for us. He spoke to me through a vision. Friends, this just does not apply to me, Our Perfect Father has no favorites, and just like everything and everyone else, I have a purpose and a duty in delight to fullfill. As I was begging for HIS forgiveness, I felt this touch of comfort, of love. But at the same time, thoughts, negative thoughts entered my mind saying:

"How could anyone love you? You're filthy and so unworthy. You will never be forgiven"

   I admit, I was hurt, affected by these words. I questioned myself, I questioned my identity. I was so close to tears. I REALLY thought that I was gonna lose it, but then, He spoke. I was sure of HIS voice and His presence.

   My child. My princess. He said. So lovingly. So gentle and comforting. I couldn't help but close my eyes. Next thing I knew, Jesus was in front of me. Cupping my face in HIS hands.

I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I'm not worthy. I sinned again. I failed you. - I began rambling.

Then, He gently placed HIS bleeding hand on my chest. Just above my heart. He looked at me with eyes of love. Without any shed of judgement.

   It doesn't matter. I'm here. That's why I'm here, to save you. To heal you. My blood is for you.

   Right then, that heavy guilt and filth that I felt was gone. Gone completely. He reminded me that every single negative thought that I had did not come from Him. It was a lure of deception. A lie to steal my identity in Christ.

   Friends, I am writing this to share God's goodness and to encourage you to earnestly ask for wisdom from God. To filter what comes from God and what doesn't. Remember that the greatest deception comes when a great revelation is involved. You know what? Praise God for wisdom! Praise God for HIS still small and powerful voice! Without Him, I would not know what I'd be thinking of right now. THANK YOU FATHER! YOU ARE GREAT!
   
He also asked me to share HIS word:

"My heart, O God is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. Awake,my soul! Awake harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn" -Psalm57:7-8

Awaken PRAISE. Know how to filter

Let's live for Him, with Him and In HIM!

Have a great weekend friends! Stay BLESSED!

Courage

While browsing through, God spoke through one of my sweet big sisters, Joyce Meyer. Though I do not know her personally and hace yet to meet her, God speaks through different people to us individually. YES, HE IS THAT AMAZING. HE is our Great GOD which goes beyond our imagination and understanding. HE IS PERFECT! ALL PRAISES goes to you Father! Thank You for making me who I am in You :)

   So, friends don't be afraid to be yourself. Our Father created us in His image and He created us exactly the way He wanted. No hesitations. No alterations. NO mistakes. Let's own who we are In Christ! Be Blessed. Be Yourself. We are created for and by God. Never for anything and anyone else :)

Psalm 56:4

In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

Courage to Be Yourself

Are you tired of playing games, wearing masks or trying to be someone other than yourself? Wouldn't you like the freedom to just be accepted for who you are, without the pressure to be someone you really don't know how to be? Would you like to learn how to embrace your uniqueness and resist the pull to be like everyone else?

If you're going to overcome insecurities and be the person God's called you to be, you must have the courage to be different. Unhappiness and frustration happen when we reject our uniqueness and try to be like each other.

You're going to have to take a chance on not being like everyone else. You must ask yourself, am I a people pleaser or a God pleaser? It's not worth it to try and please man, because God didn't make you to live for other people's approval.

God knew what He was doing when He made you. You are a unique individual, God created you the way you are! It's time that you dare to accept yourself as different and stop being insecure about who you are.

Prayer Starter: God, I will not fear man. You did not design me to live for the approval of others. Today, I dare to be different. I want to be a God pleaser, living as the unique individual You created me to be.

Grace

    It's funny how the enemy uses his greatest temptation on our most vulnerable stage.
    There are more than a few moments in my life when this happened. Tempation that leads to disappointment and results to discouragement. Hey, it happens. More often than we think. The truth is, discouragement and disappointment doesn't have to be huge to be noticed. It does not only come in a mellow dramatic-soap opera type of scene in our lives to be considered as a "scene". Little disappointments can lead to major discouragement too. Like unintentionally raising your voice to your sibling, schoolmate, officemate, family member. Sure, you may or may not notice the 'sin' at first, but the moment you've done it, you then realize that you've done something wrong. I find myself in this situation all the time. And how do I respond? I top it off by commiting another sin, I blame myself and, then again, give in to the chief accuser's greatest lie; condemnation.
    The truth as we all know is that NOBODY is perfect. Our Father God has recently revealed one the most comforting and greatest truth of all, we need Him. Always. All the time. In EVERY moment of our lives. God recently pointed out something so mind-blowing which is why I had to write this down; as I was begging and asking for forgiveness about my previous disappointment, He, as always comforted me and finally said...

"My child,Why are you so surprised? I am here, you need me"

   That statement alone blew my mind. Yes, why am I so surpised that I sinned when the fact of the matter is, I am a sinner. That is the main reason why we need Jesus. Now, don't start twisting my words around, just because we are sinners, it does NOT give us the lisence to sin and indulge into all ungodly acts. Can you imagine how chaotic this world would be if that was the case? The point is, we are sinners, which is why we need a Savior. This is where Grace and Wisdom comes in. God gifted us with Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness that we would never feel and be  condemned. Jesus died on the cross for all of us so that we would never be held prisoners of sin, instead, be FREE in Christ.
   The main point is, NEVER blame yourself to the point of altering your identity in Christ. We, my friends are all reflectors of Christ not Satan. Our identity is free in Christ. Never allow Satan to keep you captive by reminding you about your past. The old has gone.
"I have been crucified with Christ and I longer live, but Christ lives in me" -Galatians 2:20

"The old has gone and the new has come" -2Corinthians5:17b

   The past is called the past for a reason. It's done and finished. Our past can never hurt us unless we allow it to. Be assured that Satan will do everything he can to remind us of our past and keep us condemned in the sin that we've done. Don't allow it. Our past is  just a part of us, but our past does Not define us. Christ defines us. We are who we are in Christ. We are sinners with a Savior. No more disappointment, discouragement and depression. I'm not saying that we will never feel these three things anymore, it will still come once in a while because the devious serpent never stops, but try to use that discouragement as an encouragement instead. God has granted us authority overall the earth, now, use that authority to change perspectives. Instead of focusing on problems and getting discouraged, focus on God and meditate on His promises instead. Life might get you down, but it doesn't have to stay that way. When disappointment comes, try using it as a stepping-stone to better things. Choose to face disappointment at its onset by meditating on God's ways. Ask for His Grace and He will defeat disappointment.

    Life can be discouraging sometimes but God's Word is always encouraging, overcome the discouragement by seeking HIM.

"I meditate on your percepts and consider Your ways" -Psalm119:15

Stay BLESSED.

Breakthrough

   A few months ago, I've started a new journey with God. The kind of journey that is taking me closer to His presence as HE reveal HIS promises that the enemy has held me captive for so long.

    Honestly, since the time I've decided to take part in this journey, Struggles began creeping in. Difficult and personal struggles. It has been an adventure. So much revelations has taken place, but at the same time, so much trials as well. I feel like I'm being broken into  a million pieces. With God, I am continuously learning more things about myself, both the good and the bad. He has revealed so many things about me that has held me captive to sin. Captive by Satan. In my 23 years of existence, I honestly thought that I was in the right track, but as God has revealed, there are a lot of unpleasant things about me that God would want to purge out, cleanse and heal. My heart alone contains so many faults. The enemy made me a prisoner in sin. One of the sins that I have is an unforgiving heart which bore fruit in having other branches of sin. Right now, I'm struggling. Intensely. I am. And you know what, I'm loving it. For once in my life, I finally feel like living. Apart from the intense struggles, I've also had so many victorious revelations and breakthroughs.

    This is really hard, just thinking about the things I've encountered during my adventure seems to be so overwhelming. Writing this blog isn't easy. So many things are rushing through my head. But still, I'll post this. This is a huge part of my life, and I know that God will use this new journey of mine as an avenue for HIS glory. My Heavenly Father isn't done with me yet, and as I dig deeper in knowing Him more, I tend to want More of HIM. It isn't easy, but I know it's gonna be worth it because, finally, I am starting to see through His eyes. I'm not perfect, no. Not even close, and I'm not trying to be, but I am just Blessed to be loved by someone so perfect and the one and only one who gives the PERFECT LOVE and LOVES me PERFECTLY. I'm falling in love with Him all over again, and I am loving every moment of it. All glory goes to Him alone. The King of Kings; My Savior; My Father; My Bestfriend; My Everything. JESUS.

My heart, mind and soul sings for HIM...

"From my heart to the Heavens, JESUS be the center, cause it's all about You, Yes it's all about You"

Reminder

   As I was slowly taking a step into the enemy's trap. My ever faithful companion, His Holy Spirit lead me to Joyce Meyer's posts. I then had this huge "Eureka" moment from God. Now, this is HIS real message :)
It's so perfect and so timely! Thank You Father!! All glory to YOU! And of course, HIS word never fails! Philippians4:4

  Friends, there is no room for condemnation or depression in our lives for God has overcome the world and we are all renewed and refreshed through Christ. Nothing and  No One can ever separate us from God. We belong to Him. (Isaiah43) Always go back to His word and His truth. We have been set free the moment that Christ paid our debt on the cross. HE lives IN us now and that will never change.

  Resist the Devil and Rejoice in the Lord

Depression is defined in part as "a hollow; being in a low state; a state of sadness; dejection." The real cause of depression is not where we are, but our attitude about where we find ourselves. That's why the devil wants to make you feel like you're worthless and rejected.

But if you don't let the devil impress you with what he does, then he can't oppress you; and if he can't oppress you, then he can't depress you.

I think one of the best ways to resist the devil and achieve victory over depression is to let the Holy Spirit lead you into a time of rejoicing. The enemy wants you to look at the negative and have a pity party, but the Holy Spirit wants you to look at the positive and just have a party!

Philippians 4:4 says to "rejoice in the Lord always." When we're focused on God, rejoicing in Him, depression has no place in us. So the next time the enemy tries to make you feel low or sad, choose to rejoice in the Lord!

Prayer Starter: God, You are wonderful and amazing, which is why I can rejoice in You always. Depression has no place in my life because I am filled with You!
