Today I feel I was set free, from some of my struggles. From the lie, I couldn't do what God was asking of me. for the last 3 months I been saying I can't I can't. I can't do it unless someone helps me. Maybe I just needed a push. I want to run, with my eyes on Jesus. I feel He has given me the power to do what he is telling me to do. I knew I have a race to run. Part of me gave up. But God showed me today you are not running alone I am with you. And with my help you can do this. Yes I can. I Want nothing to hold me back. I want do whatever so I can win. God said, Run! Leave the past and look forward.
run for Me. God gave me power so I can run again.
please pray I keep seeking God, for His power to do His will.
Please pray I keep my eyes on Jesus.
In his love
charlene

Sister Charlene, that is awesome news!

Philippians 4:13 says "I can do [b]all things[/b] through Christ which strengtheneth me." (emphasis mine).

Hebrews 12:1-3 says "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."

I encourage you and pray for you to press on, sister! Press into prayer and in the Word. Press into our Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. He will sustain you through everything and anything.

Thanks for your post, it really lifted me up from what's been a difficult day in the natural.

For a long time I was fooled by the lie. I thought I was to sick to do alot of things. But it was a lie. with God we can do anything. Really I had become lazy. But God is bring me back. I needed a big push. God is showing some areas I have been not obeying that why I have been so weak. I keep going back to remeber when you loved Me? Yes Lord what a fool I have been, putting other things before you. I have known the Lord about 4 years. But when I moved away from my Church, and my strong friends. I started to do little things that were wrong. Then they added. THings I would never think I would do, I now find myself doing. I have always been big on my time with the Lord. Nothing is more important then it. It was never was a struggle to push everything side and be with Him. Even when my father was dying. I had to be with God first. But when he died, then I just started to let things come in, and take that time away. My love wasn't as strong. Maybe part of me said I am not runing. Maybe I said I am done, just take me home. Maybe part of me didn't care. I sat down and then ask God to help me to run. I have struggle with be able to run, but maybe cause I have been siting? it has been this way for 4 months. I felt traped. So I thought I needed people, but really what I need is God!!I wanted to pray longer, I wanted to read more. But what got me was not going over the word. Before I would awake up and I would start reading off verses. Now it is a struggle to think of them. There never is a small sin. when ever we let any sin in, it slowly eats away at us. But God is helping me to live the free life He has called for me. Yes I need to be with LoRD, more then ever I feel the need. But everything is coming at me to stop me from being with God. We are war. I am I willing to fight, or give up.
thank you for your prayers.
In his love

Sister Charlene, you are right, it is a fight, we are at war. The enemy doesn't care to work on those who he already has trapped with his lies, he is going after those who are God's children because he knows his time is short.

Your weapons for battle are all in the Word:

Ephesians 6:10-13:

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

And what does the whole armour of God consist of? Read on in verses 14-18:

"Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."

I encourage you in the Lord your God as David encouraged himself in the Lord his God when he was struggling in battle (1 Samuel 30) and ended up victorious against huge odds.

Prayers for your struggle headed up to the Throne of Grace tonight, sister. May you be blessed by His peace and grace and strength.

Praying for you, joining with Mia for special Grace to guard you.

When the devil attacks me I tell him he has no rights in me, and tell him to get out of my head, my house, and off my property, then I pray God for the angels to place a hedge of protection around me.

Then the next day, I begin again.

THe more I do this, the more the devil loses ground.

He pulls a lot of sneaky stuff on me, but eventually the lie is exposed.

When does he manage this? When I forget to pray for protection!

Pray, always pray. We'll pray with you whenever you need it.

May God and his angels protect you tonight, and tommorrow.

Many Blessings,

Charlene,

Never say you'll give up. Never think it.

Say over and over outloud: I am strong in Jesus. I can do it through Jesus. The more you say it, the more it becomes true.

You are grieving and depressed. Go back to your strong friends, or find some new ones.

And my sister, see a doctor. Depression that keeps you from wanting to do anything for over two weeks is a medical condition.

I know - I've had it.

If you're broke, and have no insurance go to the emergency room, and wait to see someone. Pay them when you are up and about again.

Blessings,

I was hopeing to write of good health.
ALthough I have to praise God for the last two weeks. But two days ago, my body has gotten sick. I tried to run tonight, I got sick. My blood suagr went high. About 2 hours after I ran, my body starting getting sharp pains. and my feet and hands started hurting. I am trying to be joyful. It does this each month, somtimes staying two weeks. I just hoping the med's I was on would stop it, but I think it somthing differnt then what the Dr's say it is. PLease pray for wisdom as I call the Dr tommorw. Please pray I am still strong in my prayers.Most I want to have joy. When my blood sugars are high, it makes weak and feel sad.
Thanks
charlene
