I know that he dont like it that I am STANDING and he would LOVE for me to give up like I am told to do. But guess what satan I am NEVER GIVING UP. So just remember to keep PRAYING because we are SHAKING up the devil and we will take him dowm WITH the TRUE WORD. Thank you ALL and God Bless YOU ALL |  I want you to always remember this one thing, Friend. You have a priceless treasure that lives within you...you ARE the temple of GOD. If you have been bourn again of the Spirit of GOD, you carry GOD in your heart. This is the place where GOD lives. This should instill a sense of profound "awe and respect" in you. This alone is enough to reveal to you how valuable you are in GOD's eyes for giving such a precious privilege. Do not feel hopeless; do not feel worthless; do not feel uncertain of who you are IN and THROUGH Christ or Who Christ is. GOD IS LOVE. His love cannot be understood by us because our love is so conditional and quid pro quo: "If you do this for me, then I'll do this for you." Everything humans do, there is some condition or stipulation or threat attached to it. GOD's love eludes all that we know, experience, and perceive about love. I said all of that to say this...The closer you become to GOD; the more you study and know Him; the more you trust Him; the more you believe Him; the more you lose your connection with this world and become like Him...there is no human alive that can hurt you like your dad does. Yes, he IS your dad. But Jesus, Himself said that if you forsake your friends, family, and worldly possessions to Me, then you will have the most coveted prize in existence: ETERNAL LIFE. I read your post and I was very proud of you. Although your dad did hurt you (because that's the human side of us) you still acknowledged who you are in Christ and that He reigns in your life. You are blessed to have that knowledge. You would be shocked how many people alive today think they are going to die and just be buried in a grave and that's it. The Holy Spirit teaches, guides, matures, and leads us to the path of righteousness so that we are found worthy of Eternal Life. GOD wants NO ONE on earth to perish without it. You stay strong and vigilant in your faith and don't let anyone, especially family members or friends divert you off of that road. "You are beautifully and wonderfully made." GOD said that and no human in existence can erase what GOD has said about you or demonstrated on the cross for us all. All of us will fall again and again, but will will continue to keep rising back up in the name of our GOD and Creator, our Saviour and Redeemer, our Salvation and Deliverer: JESUS CHRIST of NAZARETH! |
