God uses all people.
One lie that Satan was telling me over and over when coming on to the race was that I was not good enough to share the hope to the world and that I have made too many mistakes in my life to share the love that The Lord has for everyone. I am going to share with you on how I was able to conquer these lies. This can be used with dealing with anything in life and EVEN…when faced with fear of the future of our country.
1) Soak yourself in Gods truth and don’t ever limit Him. 2) Replace the lies with what the Lord says-=THE TRUTH. Here is a list of truths that you can repeat to yourself:
I am accepted…
Ephesians 1:3-8 I have been chosen be God and adopted as His child.
Colossians 1:13-14 I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins.
1 Corinthians 6:17 I am united with the Lord and I am one with Him in spirit.
I am secure…
Romans 8:1-2 I am free from condemnation.
Romans 8:28 I am assured that God works for me good in all circumstances.
Romans 8:31-39 I am free from any condemnation brought against me and I cannot be separated from the love of God.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 I have been established anointed and sealed by God.
Philippians 1:6 I am confident the God will complete the good work He started in me.
2 Timothy 1:7 I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.1 John 5:18 I am born of God and the evil one cannot touch me.
I am significant…
John 15:16 I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit.
Ephesians 3:12 I may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ.
Luke 1:37 For with God, nothing shall be impossible.
Once you have repeated those truths to yourself. Remember this too: that God used flawed people and He still does. When looking at the Bible, here is a list of people he used to greater further His Kingdom.
||Paul a Pharisee who persecuted Christians before becoming one||Abraham was old || Elijah was suicidal||Joseph was abused||Job went bankrupt||Moses had a speech problem||Gideon was afraid|| Samson was a womanizer|| Rahab was a prostitute||Samaritan Woman was divorced||Noah was a Drunk|| Jeremiah was young|| Jacob was a cheater|| David was a murderer||Jonah ran from God||Naomi was a widow|| Peter denied Christ three times || Martha worried about everything || Zacchaeus was small and money hungry ||The Disciples fell asleep while praying ||
As I sit here in Guatemala, thinking about our new president, Mr. Donald Trump. I don’t think of fear or hate because our hope should never come from men. Our hope should not lay in the hands of whoever is in office or in the hands of the millions of people protesting. It should always lie in the hands of The Lord. It makes me sick looking at all the people protesting violently. Don’t you know people… that violence weakens your argument! Audre Lorde was right when she said “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” and the same thing is stated in the Bible.
Matthew 12:25 says “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.”
IF we are divided, we will not stand!!
Let us see people the way that Jesus does and let us Love the way the Lord loves us. The Lord created us all with value. Let us learn how to love sacrificially, as He has freely given to us.
Join the movement and say “I will stand and pray for wisdom, protection, direction and clarity for the Trump Administration as they lead our country. I will respect the office because my hope lies in no man. Whoever is in office, Christ is ALWAYS on the THRONE!”
