A reason to live

Just a little something i wrote a while back, and i thought to share :)

Do you ever feel like everything cannot go right for too long?

Just as its all good, one problem or the other arises

If that’s you then permit me to speak a word

The devil is crafty

He’ll make those voices whisper into your ears

He’ll ask “Why do you proclaim God loves you?”

“If He did love you, you would be healthy, you wouldn't owe everyone, your friends wouldn't leave, you would have peace, favor, you wouldn't be single or lonely, and everyone else wouldn't be moving forward while your life sits stagnant” He mocks

For a split second you might let his words get to you,

You might even start to wonder what is actually going right in your life.

You start to question “Lord why am I in bondage?”

“Did I sin?” “Is this my punishment?”

I urge you NOT to let the devil adulterate your mind

Just as you hear the thoughts coming into your mind

SPEAK to it immediately!

Let the devil know whose image and likeness you have been created in

Tell him

“Don’t you know I AM A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH?”

The Word says:

I am the head and not the tail

I shall live and not die

I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me

I am more than a conqueror

By His stripes I have been healed

Greater is He that is in me than you that is in the world

Everything works out for the good of those that love the Lord

Even with faith as small as a mustard seed I shall command the mountain to move and it shall obey

Hence I command you in the name of Jesus to seize defiling my thoughts

Be encouraged my brothers and sisters our God is unchangeable

The same God we serve is the same that parted the sea,

That sent His only son to die for us

That gave Jesus the power to overcome death

In whom all powers on earth and in heaven belong to

It doesn't seem right because we are thinking with our worldly minds

The word says “for lack of knowledge my people perish”

The ambiance of bondage might seem to overtake your blessings

But I tell you it’s a thing of the mind

We give the devil so much power over our lives

But the truth is he has no power over us

We have to make up our minds that we will no longer live in bondage

We will no longer put God in a box, but cast our burdens onto Him

And let Him give us peace that surpasses all understanding

If you were looking for a good reason why bearing all the trials is worth it here you go

God loves you, and has something greater than you can imagine waiting on the other side

We wouldn't know what being free was if we were never in bondage
