no more lies. yeah right! are you thinking what I'm thinking? maybe yes maybe no? here is a topic that everyone deals with or has dealt with. no more lies!i wont pretend to say i have all the answers cause i don't.
here's what lies i listen to and I'm sure alot of us identify but feel free to jump in and admit what lies you are listening to....... I'm not pretty enough, I'm not smart enough, ill always stay the same and do nothing with my life, i am a failure.I'm not skinny enough. etc you can take a few minutes to think about what lies you are listening to and how we can overcome this.
so check this out if you dare.... are you ready for simple truth. or maybe you are still listening to the lies that hold you captive and you are too ashamed too afraid to here the truth.
1. look into a mirror and say tada I'm beautiful
2.read the bible there is tons of stuff that can relate your lies
3.being you are in your bible reading take some time and think about the last lie you listened to. now how through Gods truth can you speak to the lies?how are you going to respond instead of react?
now i also want to be realistic everyone handles things differently.so how you change and how much you change is up to you. no words i write will change you. so today this can be your day to gain personal victory over the lies that you have been believing.this can be your moment of personal victory. you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. maybe you are like me you need to hear for yourself a story of someone over came the voices lying to there head. I'd like to give you a story something to relate to. but truth is i have yet to fully overcome the lies in my mind. all i know is God is the only one that can really fully transform our minds. if we'll let him. so come with me today and lets trust god can do all things and he can transform out minds to be be more like him.

Blessings
Dear Reader,
So i was at church on Sunday and all of a sudden i was thinking about something. so for example say God asked you to Go up to someone and bless them with $100 would you fight with God and make up all these excuses? what you are really doing is being disobedient. so lets say again god says to you give this person $ 100 again is not your initial response but God.. i can use that for something else. instead we should be stepping out in faith and saying OK God if you can move mountains how much more can you provide for me. i know all this sounds crazy right but i know we all have this at least once in our lives had this little fight going off in our head.
so imagine this if you will if every time you say no what you are doing is holding back a blessing for the other person and your self. when you trust god enough you won't have this battle going on in your head. Are you going through really tight finances right now? are you feeling like God why is everyone but me being blessed?
here is a little story of how God blesses those who are obedient. this week Rachel and i Had just finished paying rent. so we had no money for gas in the car and really didn't know how all that was going to work out. then Sunday night mom and dad phoned they asked if they could come over last night to our apartment. i was like sure come on over. so mom cooked dinner. our fridge was on empty lol and we were going to have an involuntary fast ha ha. but mom and dad came over and filled our fridge and brought over stuff as well as blessed us so we can put gas in Rachel car. I didn't know how we were going to get through this week but i knew in my heart that god would provide all our needs and then some. maybe you can relate to this. there is weeks and you really don't know how you will make it through. its like you are hanging on by a thread. i believe God allows these things to happen so that we can learn to depend and trust in him. if we always have everything at hand how do we learn to trust?
may God truly bless all of you and provide everything that you need today. may you be obedient and trust God he knows what he's doing. Remember God is able to do all things whatever your need.

the same God
for quite some time now i have been struggling with my walk with God thinking why would god still care look what I have done. this is a mindset that many of us share when we have done things that we know are wrong. we pray for redemption, we ask for forgiveness, yet we struggle to believe our words. the words is this song are powerful. the same God that was with you then is with you now. the same God who led you in will lead you out.
What is holding us back as Christians from really trusting God. I mean our words hold the power of life and death. but why is it so hard to really let God in. i have shut him out in areas of my life where i needed to open up. I shut him out in relationships. and was left hurt and broken cause i didn't ask God. I know we all have things in our back closet. some is really hard to deal with. we need to know that we are not alone.through Christ we can do all things. maybe you seek reconciliation, or forgiveness, maybe you have been on a path of failure and you try to get up but the attacks of the enemy hit harder every time and you stand in defeat wanting God to rescue you . but we forget to ASK we forget to SEEK we forget to KNOCK.
so matter what you face in life don't give up don't lose hop God has a plan sometimes it requires us to wait a little bit longer and be patient a little bit longer. if things happened exactly when you want them to. we wouldn't learn to depend on God. we wouldn't trust in him.
