NO MORE LIES!!!

To whom it may concern:

I am not sure if anyone reads this blog but I do it for more then my readers. It helps me grow in my walk with Christ and it shows God my heart. God doesn’t need this blog to know my heart and I understand this-- but I need to do this. It’s one of those things—my husband knows I love him but I still need to tell him—does that make sense?? So if you are reading this blog (or not) I do it for my savior, my heart and in hopes that a seed might get planted in your heart—

Anyway, onto my blog for the day. . .My theme of late seems to be--separating lies from truth. I think this is called discernment. As I grow closer to Jesus I am getting better at this. The other day I was sending out a prayer request and I heard a voice in my head say “you are such a phony” I actually started to believe it for a moment and then I quickly realized that it was an evil spirit trying to break me down. No thankyou!!! I must be full of things true and I am NO phony, Jesus is my savior and I have given my life over to him. Psalms 119:30 I have chosen the way of the truth; I have set my heart on your laws.


The other day my daily devotional was from Romans 8. It talks about how nothing can “drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us.” It says not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture. Romans 8:37--In all these things we are more than victorious through Him who loved us.

Ephesians 6:14--Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place


I think every single day most of us struggle with some sort of lie or another. Maybe it is “I am not good enough!” or “God can’t fix the mess I am in” or “When in comes to finances, I can’t just give it to God.” or “I will never have the body that I want” or “Marriage is just too hard—I give up!” ---whatever lie you are faced with and maybe you don’t even recognize it as a lie. I pray that you will allow truth to penetrate you heart, your soul, your life. God is enough, He can handle it, He can be trusted with even your finances, your body is a temple (if you hold lies inside there is no peace), be victorious through Christ, stand firm with the belt of truth!!


Philippians 4:8-9 Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst, the beautiful, not the ugly, things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.
