Keeping Thing’s in

We are called not only to believe the Gospel but to saturate our minds and hearts in, so that we actually begin to live like we believe in it. Psalms 19:14 (NLT) “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer”. Amen

So when we do things that are not good or have things done to us and we just hold it in because we are not ready to let it go or are afraid of what people might think about us. Well let me tell you if your thinking that you can’t let it go or God can’t forgive you or it would just be better to keep it in let me tell you that is the devil telling you all this. Why you ask?

Because he is scared!!

This just hinders our growth and dampens the spirit. The bible says “Quench not the spirit” The devil wants nothing more than to stop you from reaching your full potential. Also this only robs God of His glory.

(Think about it, when somebody’s giving their testimony and it’s strong and people get saved/ crying and it just touched them on a whole different level. Why is that? Well I’m guessing that they have brought everything into the light and God shined though it and used it for his glory).

“Listen I know it’s hard even maybe one of the most difficult and terrifying things you have ever do but when we do, when we lay our souls out naked and bare for all to see, it forces us out of the shadows, and into the place where life begins”. Tenth Avenue North quote.

This also humbles you to the core. To not lie to yourself or others and really know you’re not perfect and through Christ Jesus anything and everything is possible.
Psalms 139:11-12 (NLT) “I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you”. God already knows everything.

So let’s break out of this self pity and begin to forgive ourselves and deal with our past so we can use it to God glory!! WOO!! How else do we expect to do the awesome work of God that we are so privileged to do if we are not giving our all?
