Girl Please! God Got ThisThere is No Need to WorryDeuteronomy 20:4For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.In everything that we do and everything that we face, we have to understand that God is in it with us. His word tells us that He will never leave us no forsake us. However there is so many times that when we are facing issues, and fighting against so much that it feels like God as left us. Let's be real, I have been there time and time again, and I call myself a woman of God. I have gone through so much heartache and pain. But guess what, the key word is through. I have gone through. I'm not there anymore. I am here able to write about overcoming because I made it through. God didn't leave me in the fight by myself, my enemy didn't overtake me. I didn't kill myself, why because God went in with me and He fought against my enemies. I'm telling you there is no way that I could have made it through all that I have without god on my side. His word tells us the Lord your God is he that goeth with you. I want to focus on the word He. He is in the fight with you, His word didn't say that He sent angels in battle with you to declare your victorious, it didn't say that you will have many people walk by your side that will guide you through your issues and cover you in prayer, it says He goes with you. Anytime that you feel like you are in a battle by yourself, anytime you feel like you are struggling on your own, know that God is right there with you. His Strength, His peach, His authority is what gives us the ability to overcome so many of our issues. To know that you have God on your side is the greatest feeling of all. Just at that very moment when you felt defeated and you want to throw in the towel just remember that God is in the fight with you. The scripture also says that He is there to fight against your enemies to save you. Meaning to me, if I just make up my mind that I am going to beat this battle, god is going to fight it for me. I 'm not going to even have to fight because it doesn't say He will help me fight. It says to fight for you against your enemies. We don't have to lift a finger. Just know that God is there to fight for us.
I Need to Know Him Do You? "Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." II Peter 1:2-3 Do you know Christ? I don't mean, "know of Christ", but do you know Christ to the point that knowing Him deeply influences your life? Peter is saying that we will experience an abundant amount of grace and peace through our knowledge of Christ. He then goes on to say that our knowledge of Christ will set loose the power of God and give us everything we need for life and godliness. I love that phrase, "EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR LIFE AND GODLINESS!" Something's? Almost everything? No, everything we need for life! This is no small claim. Peter is saying that our knowledge of Christ is crucial to everything we need in life. So what does knowledge mean? Peter was using the Greek work that means a full knowledge, a deep participation by the knower in the object known so that it powerfully influences him or her. This is more than an acquaintance or a causal relationship. It is my passion to know, really know God. It is a hunger for His word, a longing to spend time in His presence, an openness to dialog freely with Him and listen for His voice. There is so much to gain by knowing Him, really knowing Him. You can start to know Him more today. He is waiting for you to try.
