Is there ever a time where NOT ONE good thing is going on in life? Is it safe to say that believing that is self pity? I don't want to be insensitive but there is nothing godly about only having negative things to say about life. Job cursed the day he was born behind one bad season. We, as humans, are ridiculous. Let us come against the spirit of depression, self pity and anger, impatience and resentment! These are not of God! Job cursed the day he was born out of partial ignorance of who God was and what God would do after he repented!!! It's important to expect God to change a situation, but it's even more important how you behave in your off seasons. Fighting the good fight does not involve complaining. Fighting the good fight of faith involves warring against spiritual wickedness! I'm so sorry, but if you look at your life and you don't see any light in it, you may need to DELIGHT yourself in The Lord more 😣. I don't understand your issues and you don't understand mine, but we have the same God! If He can give me joy, He can give you joy! COME OUT of that self pity. Jesus is still on the throne!!! You've suffered loss, debt, financial lack, unhealthy relationships -- so have I, EVEN NOW!!! Bless the Lord anyway man! It's one thing after the other but stop looking at your life. Don't keep more record of the losses than you are of the record of Christ! I promise you. The details of my current situation are not pretty. Spiritual warfare is real, but do NOT allow it to sift you as wheat! As the Holy Spirit to burn away anything that is a hindrance and anything that causes you to pity yourself more than you glorify God. The enemy most certainly would love to steal your praise. YOUR PRAISE is a part of your relationship with The Lord! Stop worshipping your problems as if they are sovereign, mighty, undefeated, most powerful, and almighty. That's misplaced worship! IDOLATRY: it's not just statues, moons, animals, and miscellaneous physical items! Get it together, baby! The only part of the battle that you have to fight is staying connected to God! Stay connected! Stay connected! We connect through prayer, worship, and the things we set our affections on!!!! "Think on THESE THINGS" Philippians 4:8-9. I'm not coming to you from a place of total deliverance of my afflictions, But I AM giving you perspectives from the seat of victory! @loveandswagger: "You just don't understand 😩" maaaaaan, STOP. you're being distracted even now. GOD. IS. WITH. YOU. Let me reiterate. This isnt insensitivity. This is a wake up call. The bed of pity is so comfortable, but don't sleep! Fight! Pray! Worship! Come against the enemy and his workers who wish to keep you in darkness, feeling alone, and defeated! We wrestle not against flesh and blood!!!! 😩 It's not by mistake that you experienced what you've experienced. Those things have caused you to feel how you feel! It was a plan to ruin! Oh, but you better recognize what you're up against. Be free and be not entangled in this bondage again!
too much love,
