Jesus Makes The Darkness Tremble

You're Never Too Broken For God           How many times have you asked yourself, why does God need me, I'm too broken? We get stuck thinking that when we're broken that we're undeserving of love. I want to stop you right there, this thinking does not come from God! Even if you feel like you are shattered to pieces, God sees it so much differently. God broke you away from the parts of yourself that weren't honoring him, to sculpt you into his masterpiece of salvation and redemption. However, God does not see you as broken, God sees broken pieces as stepping stones to him. God trembles us to shake the spirit of fear and renew it with the spirit of strength and faith.            God needs you and nothing is going to stop him from seeking you no matter how "broken" we are. We aren't really broken rather than just wounded, because when we break we can't get back up again. Wounds can take time to heal from but we can get back on our feet and fight

Seeking God When Your Heart is Troubled and Mind is Distracted       Often times when things are going on in our lives and we're stressed God can sometimes be the last thought in our brains. Sometimes we even forget to acknowledge God's work in our lives. Our minds can think up to 50,000-80,000 thoughts in a single day, that's insane, but more often than not most of those thoughts don't have God in them. Distraction is one of the hardest things to combat. We often tend to set our minds on other things even while praying to God. We started praying then all of sudden we're thinking about food or whatever and we're stuck with forgetting the prayer altogether.         Why do we get so distracted? There's no right or wrong answer to this but I think it's because we're not taking control of our thoughts. We let anxiety in and let it control our thoughts. We have to capture our thoughts and set them on God. We have the complete ability to capture our o

Erasing Lies And Growing In God's Truth.           Many things can set us back from hearing God's truth, such as lies. Lies can derail us from speaking God's love and truth over us. We hear lies and believe them because they sound like the truth. That's satan's way of getting into your head and making them sound convincing. Satan likes to mess with your head but you have the power to speak truth over him. He hates it because it means God is winning. You have the power to shut Satan down and put God in control.           To erase the lies we have to understand the difference between truth and lies. The truth would never lead you to hate who God has created. Yes, the truth can be hard to hear sometimes but it is also so freeing. Lies can cause you to speak badly over yourself and not love yourself. We've got to stand up and combat these lies because they can mess with your head. Every lie can be broken down and truth corresponds to it. There is no lie that Go

20 Years Of Life!        I can't believe it's been 20 years since I came into this world. There's so much that has happened in that time, there's so much that I've learned. There's been so many trials, hardship, God, loss, life changes, friendships, etc. Although there were many rough times in 20 years there's a lot of noticing God's work in my life. God has been apart of my entire life and I've always had God in my life even as little 4-year-old memorizing verses for Awana. Although he was apart of my whole life I didn't fully experience him until I was 15 and wanted to get out of being alive. That experience was a God-stop moment and flipped my life around to want God and thirst for his love and grace! Never had I known in my entire life how much love could come from God.          Finding God encouraged me to be able to come out of my darkness and step into God's light. The main thing I learned about God all these years is that God is
