Away

Kenneth and I are going to the beach this weekend. We will be coming back on Wednesday the 20th. Please pray we will have a safe trip. I am praying for this blog will be a blessing to you. I am so thankful that that God is not pleased with us because we have not arrived, but it is fully pleased we are seeking Him. If I could ever get it in to my mind and heart just how much He loves me I would have such peace, confidence, and praise for Him. But not just for me but for you too. The world has gotten into my head and God's word tells us "be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." The devil has sold me the lie that it is too hard to renew my mind and I am hopelessly stuck where I am. But I am tearing that stronghold down. II Corinthians 10:5 tells us we have weapons to tear down strongholds, imaginations, arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. Are weapons are prayer and the word of God. His word is truth. In Him we are new creations blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms. Reading and claiming His word is not hard. His strength makes it easy. It is the devil that makes it hard. He wants us to believe we have to do the work to change. We just need to accept God's love and follow Him. There is peace and life when I(we) live out and live in His word. So I am tearing down and throwing out the lie. My hope is in Christ. "I can do all things in Christ because He strengthens me." I am a new creation and Christ will do the work to change me. I love you all. Please share your struggles with me. You are not alone. Christ is not surprised with you. He new what He was getting when He reached out to you.
