Winning The War Over Our Sin

Sin.
It gets us out of the Lords will and destroys us.
The enemy uses it to break us down.
He knows what we struggle with most and when we are at our lowest and he knows exactly when to attack.
We receive the seeds of sin before we even realized we've received it.
The enemy has designed sin to get us out of the will of God so we will never ever see the power and plan the Lord has for our lives.


This sucks.
What do we do?
Sit around full of self pity, letting it happen?
Just say "ahhh darn i'm too weak to overcome this"
Think that we are too far gone to ever turn back to our Father?

NO
WE FIGHT.

We continue to address our sin until we are free.
We demand discipline in every aspect of our lives, that includes demanding discipline of those you spend your time with.
We stand up against generational curses and say "No more! It stops with me!"
We must WANT to be free to be free.

When there is a sin that is strong and consistent in your life and you're always fighting to say yes or no to it, take heart because it is the enemy attacking you because he knows the truth.
That truth is that THERE IS AN ANOINTING IN YOUR LIFE THAT IS POWERFUL AND WILL BRING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN TO THE EARTH THAT HE WANTS TO BE MASTER OF.
he is trying to stop that powerful anointing from ever being born.
hes trying to keep that anointing covered up by our sin.

Our sin grows each time we feed it.
So QUIT feeding it.
When your sin nature and the Holy Spirit are battling each other, to take over your thoughts and actions, the one you feed more will be the stronger of the two and will be the one who wins.

If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. (Mattew 5:29-30)
Our sin is stealing killing and destroying us.
It is a wall keeping us from our God given gifts and purposes.

Be too busy doing God's will that you have no time for sin.
We have a God given anointing and we can't let our lives be ruled and motivated by sin.

REMEMBER
You are important 
You are somebody
God has created a great purpose for you

Don't allow the enemy to destroy that.

I Know You're With Me To The Very End

An update on our week in Houston for all who want to know: Y'all, this week has been bittersweet. If I am honest, I am still processing it all and I am struggling a little bit. Lets be real, I am struggling a lot. Anyways, let me just tell you the whole journey. About a month ago, I was laying on the floor, literally sobbing and asking my Abba "why?" Every doctor we had talked to had either turned me away or told me there was nothing more they could do for me. We had gotten no answers since I got diagnosed in 2015. Cameron shared with our friend, Steve Murphy, the dead end we had hit and how hopeless we felt after a service about feeling helpless. Steve, being our family in Christ immediately wanted to help and connected us with another man in our church, Leeland. Leeland selflessly spent hours of his time to research and found us a doctor at M.D. Anderson in Houston. Although there was a waiting list to get into Dr. Slopis, we got an appointment the day we were ...

NOW THOSE ALTARS IN THE WILDERNESS TELL THE STORY OF HIS FAITHFULNESS

There have been seasons in my life that lasted way longer than I would have liked them too. After a long while I began to realize wishing those seasons away and turning to so many things but Jesus to make those seasons end was not working, but instead was making me bitter. My prayer in those seasons went from, "take this cup from me" to, "as long as it takes to get to a place of surrender I'm gonna stay right here." My hard times brought me to a place of fully surrendering fear and fully trusting Jesus, something I struggled severely with. Our sweet son was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis last week. I think if this had happened before those other hard seasons I would be totally crippled by fear right now. But I can honestly say that I'm not fearful of what this diagnosis might bring, sad yes, but not afraid.  I used to always expect the worst. Expect whatever came next to be something that once again would bring bad news. This time, although it...

I Desire to Know Jesus and be Like Him Above All. I Choose to Believe His Plans are Good.

My heart desires things that the Lord is not ready to give me in this season. My heart has been struggling and this morning the Lord comforted me. I am reading through 2 Corinthians and Proverbs. Today I read chapter 1 of 2 Corinthians which talks about the suffering we will encounter but how we will ABUNDANTLY share in God's comfort! I went on from there to read Proverbs 19, where verse 21 really hit me like a ton of bricks. " Many are the plans of a mans heart, but it is the Lords purpose that prevails." SHOOT DANG. My heart has been envious of others who are experiencing the blessing of having babies. My heart has also been prideful in the sense that I feel entitled. As if the Lord is taking something away from me or withholding something from me. This is simply a lie and the Lord is gently correcting my hearts posture and my prayer in this season. My prayer is that instead of moping and being filled with self pity I may use it to mature in Christ, securing and growi...
