God Strives

What up?

Numbers 23:19 states,

"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?"

Do you really believe this? I know for a looong time I didn't........I gave heed to the lies of satan instead of the truths of GOD.........easily decieved and duped by the craftiness of the enemy who knew my weaknesses better than I..........

I spoke about in my last blog how my view of my pops badly affected my view of GOD....... I never felt good enough for my pops....I was always told by him that I was lazy, worthless and even at one point he told me that he wished my moms would have been on birth control!

Crazy, right? Well I bought that baggage into my relationship with GOD.....It was the blood of CHRIST and my "works"........ I felt that I had to do this or else....and even when I did this then I felt that I had to do something else.......I would get over one mountain then feel as if I have another ten to go....... It was never good enough.........

GOD in HIS goodness, grace and mercy has been pulling me out of this......About a year ago HE tackled this issue with me head on.....

Isaiah 40:25, ""Who will you compare Me to, or who is My equal?" asks the Holy One.

Isaiah 46:5, "Who will you compare Me or make Me equal to? Who will you measure Me with, so that we should be like each other?"

HE said to me I am not your him......I AM GOD your Father......The creator and sustainer of the universe........I sent my SON to die for you and to sanctify you........I knew how filthy you were when I purchased you........Again, ""Who will you compare Me or make Me equal to? Who will you measure Me with, so that we should be like each other?"

HE showered me with grace.......I was continuously in a down pour of GRACE!!!!!

HE then said to me, REST IN ME......... " for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his." Hebrews 4:10

Soooooooooo,  since then I've been fighting the good fight! I've fell multiple times but you know what they say," for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again......... I'm just sooooo thankful to have a sympathetic High Priest who understands my weaknesses..... And I'm also thankful that I know my weaknesses better today than a year ago......... and for the eyes to see the enemies schemes.... 2 Corinthians 2:2

" in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes."

I love JESUS and the mercy HE extends........ I'm growing in HIM...... Hallelujah!!!!!!

So brothers and sisters stand with me as I continue to stand on truth!!!! I leave you with Hebrews 10:23,

"Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful"

God is dope,
