“I think that real living for God is when we truly do deny ourselves and we truly do pick up our crosses and follow the Lord..Matthew 16:24-26..with all that is in us..Amen..that every move we make..that every choice..every decision..everything that we do..that our first thought would be what does God think about this?..how does God feel about this?..am I pleasing Him with my life?..with the way I am living?..with the way I am loving?..everything in all of our lives should be and always be making God first place..in every bit of our lives..every single area..Amen..staying true to the Lord..Amen..for you see when we fall backwards and when we give up and let ourselves..our sinful nature get in the way of our walk and Gods will and purpose for us..then we always are starting over in our lives..because when we are not true to the Lord..the only person who truly suffers the consequence for our sins and our disobeidence..is no one other than ourselves..Amen..for you see growing up is growing up..Amen..its not compromising who you are over and over..again and again..continually doing the same thing..that you already know in your heart that God is not pleased with..or that God is not wanting for you to be doinog..Amen..but when we step aside and begin to live our way..and do our thing so to speak..well, we begin to backslide as the bible speaks of..Proverbs 14:14..Amen..and sooner or later sin creeps in and overtakes you and your life..Amen..this is thing about the whole thing..don’t forget where the Lord has brought you from..Amen..don’t forget what God has already freed you from..Amen..don’t forget where sin had you in your life..and don’t forget the mess..the struggle..the problems..the fear..the anger..the pain..all of it..so when you begin to look back to do things that you already know is wrong for you personally in your life..my prayer and my heart is that you remember..Amen!”

“You remember how you felt..you remember what you were..remember the darkenss..because when give ourselves away to sin..then sin takes over..it may not happen all at once..but sin only comes to steal..kill and too destroy everything that God has prepared for you and your life..John 10:10..Amen..and when you keep starting over..you only stop your life from moving forward..so be wise..and be smart..and think about you and who you are..and be honest with what is good for you and your life..and step away from anyone and anything that keeps trying to hinder you in your walk with the Lord..for you do have a mind and you do have the right to say no..Amen..so make God first place..and keep Him first place..and obey Him..and love Him..and follow Him..Amen..and stay true to Him always..when God speaks to you and you know that it is Him..then listen..Amen..He doens’t change His mind..He stays the same..He doesn’t confuse us..NOT EVER!!..Amen..He is always true to what He says..God is not back and forth about things concerning us..Amen..so start taking control over you..and start being true to you..and start growing and living more than ever before..by being obeident..not living to please people..and or make them happy..but living to be free..and make God happy and pleased with ALL of who you are..working it out with Him..always..Praise the Lord..moving forward to the next level..the next thing..not letting another year go by as to where you are starting over again..merely for the fact of you choosing you over the Lord and His voice and His will and His plan..Amen..so do well and follow through making a difference where you with what you have for Jesus Christ our Lord..Amen..being His hands and His feet extended out..and living your life wholeheartedly for Him and only Him..sharing and shining the gospel of Christ..not being hot and cold and not ever being a stumbling block..Romans 14:13-23..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
