When we are striving and living out of our constant guilt for not measuring up, we are walking in our flesh. Somehow it's still all about us, what we can accomplish, how good we can be. We may be able to do it for a while but it becomes evident fast that we can't keep it up.
We must learn to tell the difference between condemnation and conviction. Nothing would make the Enemy happier than for us to live our whole lives confused and motivated out of the condemning voices that scream shame at us every day, all day.
Declare to whatever is standing against you, “This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down, so that all will know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the Lords and He WILL give you into our hand.” (1 Sam 17:45-47)
We may not be trained to take out giants, have the right equipment, or be in the right position, but we don’t come in our own name, we come in the name of the Lord of hosts! #walkingreflections
Don’t be surprised when all of hell breaks loose & Goliaths come to mock how small you are and remind you of all that God is not doing. When everyone around you shakes in front of that giant, be the one who runs & grabs those rocks & runs to the battle lines.
Here’s the truth...you want to pray big, outlandish, shake the heavens kind of prayers, you do that, but get ready for the fight. #walkingreflections
Let’s dare to wait on God in expectation, & while we wait, let us realize He is what we’re really after. Everything else is just icing on the cake and no one makes better icing than God! #walkingreflections
When we pray we aren’t tossing up half hearted wishes, hoping to get them granted, we are daring to stand on what God says, on who God is, and to believe. #walkingreflections
God is a God of timing & He works in exact ways & exact seasons. The Enemy has been lying to us humans for centuries that He is withholding from us.
But sometimes, God answers prayers long forgotten by us, & they will always be better than expected.
Sometimes the line is thin between good things and God things.
