The Devil works hard, but GOD works harder. But GOD! Don’t give up on God, as He will never give up on you. God Bless and stay safe!
The Devil meant it for Evil, but God meant it for good (Genesis 50:20); April 19, 2022. Keep running your race!
God protect me from what i can’t see
Hey Tumblr
It has been a while. I have been doing well, and God is still faithful. I have had some extreme highs, some extreme lows, and some extreme highs again. All the same, God has stayed by my side. Recently, I have been leaning heavily on these three verses to get me through my circumstances (there are several more as well): Isaiah 65:24, Isaiah 30:18, and Matthew 5:5.
Isaiah 65:24 talks about how God will answer you before you even call to him. Often times, I find myself rambling to God about every and any little thing that I experience. And although that is really good to do, I sometimes forget to verbalize some key things that I want God work upon in my life. Isaiah 65:24 shows that you don’t have to think to say everything to God at once. Just trust and believe that He will show up and He will!
Isaiah 30:18 is another great verse. “The Lord longs to be gracious to you. Therefore, He will rise to show you compassion. For the Lord our God is faithful. And Blessed are all those who wait on Him.” I absolutely LOVE this verse, as it is helping me get through so many situations that I am currently facing. Just to provide a small bit of context and transparency: I am currently waiting on the Lord to provide a physical revelation to me with regards to my love life. Being in a serious relationship has never been something that I focused on growing up; however, for some reason, the Lord has oriented my mind and heart to get in preparation for this season. And interestingly enough, after lots of prayer/fasting, I believe that the Lord has revealed to me the person that I will enter this new chapter of life with. Very interesting, but the Lord has not ever and will never forsake me. He is a faithful one. Wait on the Lord, you all. Wait on the Lord.
And the last of the trilogy is Matthew 5:5. “Blessed are the Meek, for they will inherit the whole earth.” Blessed are those who are humble, for they will receive a mighty inheritance. Blessed are those who aren’t prideful or haughty, for they are in for a big blessing. God does not lie. He does not say these things in the Bible to veer us down a road of shame you all. Trust in the Lord, walk with Him and He will make sure that you are taken care of. He will make sure that you are well off. Trust him during your happy and hard times, He will be there for you. He will.
Create a safe space.
hey. guess what?
you’re so close to surviving 2020
keep going
i’m so proud of you

hi! I like to keep my page bible and positivity based, but I just thought I'd share an update on me. My mental health has seriously declined during this quarantine period. I am in college, but I stayed home this semester while several of my “friends” went off to school. It has been a challenging year for me, to say the least. My father and grandfather have both been diagnosed with cancer during this time, I have lost friends, and I am left kind of confused as to who I am and what my purpose is. I love my life, but sometimes it can get suffocating. I often times feel inclined to talk to someone about my feelings, emotions, and experiences, but the little times I do, I am sometimes shunned or just not taken very seriously...it’s okay though. I try my best to be that person for other people, someone that people can confide in, however I myself do not have that person. I rely on GOD, as He gives me the strength to move forward, but honestly, it would be nice to have friend(s) that I can tell my story to and they’d understand and listen and just love me regardless. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I am an amazing friend to people, that is why people love me...but I do not feel a thing in return...especially during times like these. Maybe my brain is just being mean to me...I do not know, but all I know is the majority of my so-called “friends” were not here for me this year, when it counted. It is the inconsistency for me. I honestly do not know how to feel. Maybe I am overthinking it, or maybe they are actually just stringing me along. Whatever. I do not know, but I am sad. that is one thing that I know. I hope you all are doing great! Keep running your race :)
The Power of the Tongue
What is manifested is made light (Ephesians 5:13). Therefore, do not speak negativity into existence, for this will be manifested. Instead, praise God in advance for the miracles that you want to happen in your life.
“Thank you God for getting me through this hard time.” “Thank you God for strengthening my unbelief.” “Thank you God for helping me to become a better talker and communicator, so that I can continue to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ” (this one was personal lololol). In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
In Exodus 17, as Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt and into the Promise Land, God commanded Moses to speak to a rock, so that water may flow from it, but Moses did not. Instead, Moses hit the rock. During previous times, God had commanded Moses to hit the rock to obtain water, and it worked; However, at this particular moment, God wanted to show Moses that this seemingly systematic approach to achieving goodness would not produce the same outcome. God wanted to reveal to Moses that good things will happen just by speaking matters into existence, but Moses failed. As a result, Moses was not allowed entry into the Promise Land, as God did not want the children of Israel to follow suit to Moses’ wrongdoing.
In brief, speak great things into existence, for what you say will manifest. Do not speak negatively, for what you say will manifest. Remain encouraged and praise God throughout your journey, for what you say will manifest.
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 29, 2020:
Hey y’all, just a little self-accountability moment here. I am human, and I do/say dumb stuff sometimes, HOWEVER, I am striving to be like Jesus. Recently, I have been getting into it a lot with some of my friends and in both of these occasions, they problem was my fault. In both instances, I misinterepreted something that was said then I went off on a tangent; this has caused some of my relationships with some of my closest friends to get kind of rocky and for that, I am fairly sad tbh. TO RELATE IT BACK THIS MESSAGE, speak good things into existence y’all no matter what goes on in your life. While I was wrong in both situations, I took the time to reach out and express my apologies. Ultimately, it is up to my friends and most importantly, GOD for us to continue onto a path of friendship, but considering my impulsive actions, that honestly seemed like nothing at first glance, will likely affect my relationship with them in the long run. Speak Good, Stay positive, and Good will return to you.

I’m just saying, satan wants you questioning your identity. He wants you to wonder who you are. He wants you confused. Those whose identity is in Christ alone know who they are and are too busy walking in God’s purpose for them to pay the enemy any attention ! ! !
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. -James 4:7

I haven’t posted on here in a while because life is really taking a toll on me. My family has been stricken with more health issues, some of my “friends” are starting to act out of character, and on top of that, I am an African American female, living in the Deep South, and taking college classes during a wholeeeee pandemic and racial unrest...it’s easy to say that life ain't the best right now lol. In everything, I stay positive and optimistic. I praise GOD because “it’s in the will of GOD in Christ Jesus concerning me” (1 Thess 5:18). Even though matters may be tough right now, look to GOD and give him thanks, for He will always be with you and He will alwayss see you through. GOD has gotten me through “unbearable” situations before, so I knowww that He will do it again. We’ve just got to have faith.
I know y’all do not know me personally, but if you ever need to talk, message me, I’m “pretty easy to talk to and down to earth” as the people around me would say lol. Life can get hard, but you’re breakthrough is on its way...In Jesus’ name.
Dear Lord,
Rescue me from myself. Search my heart and soul and mind and remove anything that does not give You glory. Please remove the parts of me that have a hard time letting go of pain and hurt. Help me to stop carrying around my burdens. I put my life in your hands Jesus.
Help me to put my trust in Your word and seek Your guidance even when I'm weak. Lord direct me to do your will and use me to do your work. Give me strength to stay faithful and remember that what You have planned for me is better than what I have planned for myself. Help me to wait and trust the process. I know I can be inpatient and worry myself into doubt. Remind me Father to have faith in your will and not mine.
Bless you Lord for blessing me despite my sins, flaws and addictions. You gave your only son in order to save my soul over and over again. I am healed by His stripes and made new. Thank you Lord for blessing me even when I am to blind to see it. You walk beside me and carry me when I think I'm alone. Thank you Father. I praise your Holy name and the miracles you perform. You are a wonderful God and worthy to be praise.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen
Amen!!
1 Thessalonians 5:15
