breakthrough
ok, ignore last update. I was giving into lies. anyways. I was reading Eph 6 where it talks about the armor of God. well i have read those verses a lot in my life and had them memorized when i was younger. and i quote the pieces of armor when i know i need them, which of course is every day. but i don't put it on everyday. sorry im rambling. anyways. I read it tonight and said in every battle you need the faith as a shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you from Satan. ok, i knew this but i didn't know it. Because you have to look at the definition of faith. which to me in the simplest way of stating it is evidence of things unseen. and when i read that my faith has to be in God, but to me it doesn't take a whole lot of faith to believe in God. that is the very min. amount of faith that i have, which can be enough to stand up to satan's attacks. but that is not the faith God calls me to have. God calls me to have faith in the promises He has for me. all the things God has told me well come true, i just have to have faith in that. So when Satan trying to be smart comes along and tries to lie to me, I need to have the faith in God's promises that everything will work (for the good of those who love him and are called to his purpose in glory.) I just got done reading Captivating, which is the most amazing book I have ever read, well besides the Bible. It gave light to so much, and it reminded me of what i learned this last semester. I am a warrior in God's army. I will tear down, and destroy some nations, but I will also build other nations up (Jer 1). God has given me special giftings and abilities and i need to use them. I need to get closer to God, so he can awaken these gifts to their full potential. Oh and my verse of the summer. Eph 2.10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. good night and much love
