“If you all haven’t figured it out just yet..I am sure that you will..Amen..and that is this..that we are constantly in a battle between that ole sinful soul of ours..and that spirit filled soul of ours..it is a constant battle daily..Amen..for Paul said the things that I don’t wanna do is the things that I do..Amen..and the things that I should do..I don’t..Amen..for the things he said he hates is the very thing he does..sounds crazy right?..but isn’t it true..Romans 7:15..Amen..for we all battle this in one way or another..saying things..doing things..acting ways..thinking ways..all the while knowing that we need not to do these things..and we struggle as they say we get on the struggle bus and take a ride..oh my goodness..Amen..but the nature is in us..and we were born into sin guys..we don’t get away from it..not ever..so we choose daily..we try our best to do right..and over come the sin nature that is in us..and try to walk in the spirit to the best of our ability as the Lord says that if we do..then we will not mind the things of the flesh..Galatians 5:16-26..Amen..all the while living in this world..trying to find balance..Amen..trying to not straddle the fence line of life..being back and forth about things..Amen..being hot and cold..and every where in between..Amen..and guys it is a real deal..Amen..because we wanna be excellent and upright and perfect as our Father in heaven is..Matthew 5:48..Amen..but as well we understand that we are trying to live in this life and live it well but live it to please our Lord..Amen..so how do we do this?..how do we live in the overflow of our lives?..how do we walk in this world and not be effected by it?..and how do we overcome that sinful nature?..that just creeps in from no where..Amen..unexpectedly..Amen..well, for starters we have got to stay close to the Lord..we have got to keep His word in us..we have got to get around other believers and prayer warriors that are walking and living for the Lord..Amen..because my momma was right..you are who you hang around..Amen..you will begin to act and be like the person in whom you are with..Amen..and somewhere in the midst compromise happens..or you just begin changing and you don’t even see it..Amen!”

“So again..stay prayed up..stay close to the Lord..ask of Him for the strength it is that you need to overcome these obstacles that have presented themselves to you and your life..Amen..ask of Him for wisdom..Amen..and ask of Him to renew you..Amen..renew your mind that you will not be transformed to the ways of this world..Romans 12:2..Amen..to stir up the gift of the holy ghost that is living on the inside of you..2 Timothy 1:6..Amen..because this life will get you if you let it..Amen..and when the Lord nudges and He speaks and He shows you things and areas that need mended and healing..and He shows you that you need not to be doing stuff..or going certain places..or talking in the manner that you are..then at that moment is when we choose to be obedient..Amen..because if not we suffer the consequences for our own actions..Amen..for we do reap what we sow in our lives..Amen..for God helps us in our weakness..for He says I am strong in you..2 Corinthians 12:8-10..Amen..for He doesn’t leave us out here high and dry..Amen..but He as well doesn’t make us do anything in life..we get to choose and daily choose Him..every second..of every moment..of our lives..knowing that one day we will stand before Him and give an account for our lives..and the things and the choices and the decisions that we ourselves chose to make..Amen..so let us do well while here..let us grow up in Him..let us keep moving forward..and stop always stopping part way in the journey to only take two steps backwards and have to start all over again..just keep walking..just keep holding to the Masters hand..Amen..just keep looking up into His face..just keep seeking Him..and loving Him..and pleasing Him and always Him alone with your life..Amen..for again this is a one on one thing..this is a personal thing between you and the Lord..so please Him..for He has already spoken..so take heed..and be obedient..not a disobedient child..Amen..and then sit back and reap the benefits of enjoying your life..and living your life well..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 ❤
