Poems and Words of Faith

I was just looking today at a reel on instagram that Christine Caine was talking on about Lot and his wife that they were told not to look back by God but she did, she turned back and was turned into a pillar of salt.

It just made me think about how often do we look back. Look back at our failures, look back at our fears, look back and listen again to the lies of the enemy. We have listened for so so long to these lies they have become part of us. We have listened so long to the failures, fears etc. that are in our hearts and minds due to so many reasons instead of looking at Gods word, Gods truth and Gods Love and deciding to speak His truth above the enemies lies. Why do we do this? Why do we keep looking a back. Listening to the same old lies instead of what God says about us. He loves you and me. He will never leave you or forsake you. You are a child of God, You are Loved, You are forgiven, you were worth dying for so that you would be with Him forever. You are precious to Him. We are safe in Him, secure in Him, surrounded by Him. He has given us a future and a hope We have His precious word which is life to all those who find them and health to all our flesh.

Maybe we need to take a stand now and change the way our lives are going because i don’t know about you but I want to change my mindset to the truth of Gods Word. Are we ready to believe that what He says about us is true, not what we say or the enemy says about us? It wont be easy but we can do it with Gods help.

Ask Him what areas you are not believing in His word fully. Ask Him what bible verses you need to declare over your life. And like that song of Brandon Lake that I sing a lot at the moment. I renounce the lie that I don’t measure up, I renounce the lie I’m unworthy of your love and when shame starts knocking, fear starts talking I will lift my hands, in Your presence you remind me who I am. I am Adopted, I am beloved, Its my inheritance, I’m a child of God. So when the liar starts mouthing off I’ll sing in confidence I’m a child of God AMEN.

Remember you are loved, cared for, bless beyond measure, a child of the living God, a co-heir with Christ, precious to Him, cleansed, redeemed forgiven and loved, blessed and part of His family.

Thank you Father for your word, Your truth and Your love. Help us to find the treasures in your word that will help us change our lives, mindsets and neurological pathways. Help us to live a life pleasing to you. May we speak life over our selves and our situations and Lord i ask that You would help us by the power of the Holy spirit to do so, so that we can be set free from the lies we have believed and see ourselves as you do. Thank you Father, Amen

Based on Psalm 121, 139 & 23.

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want, He makes me lie down in green pastures and by quiet waters, He restores my soul. I lift up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from, it comes from the maker of Heaven and earth. He will not let my foot slip, He who watches over me will never slumber or sleep. The Lord will keep me from all harm. He will watch over my life now and for evermore. Lord you know me, you know when I sit and when I lie down. You know my thoughts from afar, you are familiar with all my ways. Wherever I go you are there. You created me in my mothers womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Search me O God and know my heart. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in thy way everlasting.

You may be going through a tough time at the moment, you may be wondering where is God in all this. You may feel that He has left you and you are all alone BUT He is with you. He leads you by still waters to restore your soul. Rest in Him. He has promised to be with us always to the very end of the age. Sit with Him in the quiet. Wait for Him Read His word. Ask Him to speak to you through His word or His spirit but most of all just be. Just be with Him, just wait on Him. Know He is right there with you now. You may not ‘feel’ Him there but trust that He is. Put some relaxing music on, sit, relax and wait. Give Him all your worries and concerns of the day Surrender them to Him He can carry the load, we cant. Surrender it all. Worship Him for He is worthy to be praised. He will speak, maybe today maybe tomorrow, through His Word or in your heart or maybe you will just know His presence with you but if you take the time to listen, to sit and be still and know, you will hear Him, He will guide you. Be still and know that I am God.
