FAITH 2

-

There came a time in my life when no matter how much I had lost, how much I had seen, how much people abandoned, deceived or rejected me, no matter how much I looked at with my eyes or what I thought in my mind, I knew that deep inside of me Jesus was the way, the truth and the life. My mind could come up with all kinds of, "but what about this and what about that," and all I could say was, In my heart I knew in my knower that Jesus was it. I know inside and so no matter what anyone says, or has done to me and no matter what I have seen in others or no matter how many people let me down, or even when I think God has let me down, I know in my knower, deep in my heart that Jesus is the way. Jesus is it for me! It really doesn't matter what my head says to me about the present situation or about any situation at all, all that matters is that I put my hand in His and go where he leads me. I just need to stay with Him, be in Him and Him in me.

There is a war that goes on in my head that tries to convince me otherwise. In many different ways my perceptions try to pull me away from the truth that I know, but I just have to keep putting my attention on Him who loves me and gave Himself for me. Daily there are things that happen or go through my mind that try to get me to turn away from the one truth that I know. Daily I choose to keep turning to the One who lives inside of me, loves me and died so that He could have me with Him. 

 Sometimes it is hard and I have to ask Him to help me get my heart where it needs to be. He does it. I just try to be real with Him and share my heart and tell Him how I want to be with Him. He is the air that I breath. He is my life. He is my dance partner and the lover of my soul. He is the fire that burns within me. I am never alone because He's always inside of me. I can feel Him there when I let go of the war in my mind and just turn to Him. I have to let go of all the stuff that goes on in my head and rest in Him in this moment and know that He has the next one and the next. He is love.

ANXIETY ISSUE

-
If you are someone who struggles with anxiety I have a few tips that might help you. When you wake up in the morning do not think about anything you have to do today, anything you should do today or anything at all beyond the very moment you are in. The closest thing to the moment is your breathing. Pay attention to your breathing and the rise and fall of your belly as it breathes. Put your hands on your belly and feel your breathing. Also it helps to remember that the Lord is inside of your every breath. If you have to go to work you don't have to think about it yet. You are not there yet. You just have to get up and get ready. Don't put your mind on anything except where you are right at this very second. Thinking about anything beyond this very moment is as taking a big spoonful of poison, because that is what it is to you. God gives us grace for the moment and His presence is in this moment. It is a much better place to reside than to be thinking of where you are going to...

GUILT

-
I think guilt is one of the biggest hindrances in the Christian life. It has been for me and I see it trip up so many others also. Way back in the first few years of walking with the Lord I went through a time of feeling separated from God a lot. I did not think I was doing a very good job with my life. I had so many inner struggles. A prophetic man spoke into my life at that time and said he saw walls between God and me. The problem was that the walls were of my own making. It was not God. I didn’t know at that time in my life about how our thinking can put those walls up. I also didn’t know there was such a thing as false guilt. How could there be false guilt? That sounds crazy! Who would knowingly put guilt on themselves? It is false because we keep ourselves in bondage over things that God has long since forgiven and forgotten. It might even be something that we don’t even need to be forgiven for. Maybe we just think we do! It is our thinking about it that keeps the wall up. Decla...

PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER

-
Does it ever seem like you go through the same painful scenario over and over? The person or situation might look different every time, but it is really the same. That has been my experience for a long time. I didn't understand it. I wouldn't believe it was happening! Why didn't the Lord just get rid of this and heal all my past pain? Why was I continually in these painful, upsetting situations? There was more than one incident this week that finally opened things up for me. There is a little Colette inside of me. She went through a lot of painful stuff, but because she couldn't deal with all the pain since she was only a little girl, she got frozen. The pain was there but she couldn't feel it because little Colette got numb! Adult Colette looks at poor insecure little Colette and she could have pity for little Colette, she could feel sorry for little Colette, but adult Colette wanted nothing to do with that little insecure Colette. Adult Colette had disowned her! ...
