Subtle Disobedience to God

Photo: Es Versluis

Did you know subtle disobedience is worse than blatant rebellion?

Truthfully.

Subtle disobedience is like a dripping faucet that drips one drop at a time.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The challenge is the faucet is stopped up, so eventually that slow drip turns into a complete mess. That’s the essence of subtle disobedience. Today I realized I was guilty of the “drip”. It wasn’t until I made some massive mistakes that it caused me to stop and consider what I was doing. Immediately, the Lord showed me where I had slowly begun to drift away from what He told me to do. It was painful, but I’m so grateful for his mercy and grace. I repented and made a decision to stop the subtle drip of disobedience, turn off the faucet and get it right.

Is Your Mind Healthy?

For many years I lived with an unhealthy mind.

I know that’s a shock to people who know me, but it’s true. God delivered me from more than anyone will ever know. Having a healthy mind comes from spending time with God and bathing in His word. God’s word can change you. God’s presence can change you. Trust me, I know this first hand.

One of the reasons my mind was so unhealthy was because I allowed too many un-Godly influences in the culture to shape my thinking. In addition, I didn’t feed on God’s word enough. And When I fed on God’s word, I didn’t apply it to my life.

This has been a 28-year journey for me. In order to live with a healthy mind, I MUST CONFESS THE WORD EVERYDAY! Period. I can’t be lazy or average in my faith walk. If you struggle with an unhealthy mind, I encourage you to get before God and ask Him to give you the desire to be free!

Don’t Run and Don’t Hide!

Can God count on you to be bold? Do you run and hide when satan inflicts a little pain? How tough are you? I ask myself these questions because there are times when I want to give up, cave in and quit. But I’m in this fight long-term. God has been so faithful to me that I refuse to run away from small challenges. Be encouraged.  Don’t ever run. Don’t ever hide. Get the word and be bold!

Faith Fights!

Get Ready!
Get Ready!

I never liked to fight. So as a little girl I usually “talked” my way out of fights.  I remember the biggest girl in school, Succhi P. actually promised to “whoop on me” after school because she “couldn’t stand me.” WHOA! I was scared. So I did what I do best. I talked.  I actually talked her into being my friend and convinced her to turn her attention to another poor helpless victim. It worked. 🙂 

As an adult, I wish I could talk my way out of fighting. I’ve learned that to have faith… I must fight. Fighting means taking authority over every hindering spirit, person, habit or problem that tries to hold you back. It’s simple. If you have faith… then you MUST FIGHT! It’s not an option.  You must fight to hold on to God’s promises for you. It won’t be easy, but it’s necessary if you want greatness. Are you ready for a fight?
