“I think about when I first started out with the Lord at how hard it was for me to truly understand what was right and wrong..and how to pray and how to know the Lord..Amen..because there was so many voices constantly pulling me and telling me different things about what pleased the Lord and what didn’t please Him..Amen..so honestly it took me down a long hard road..just trying to figure it out..how to serve Jesus..Amen..and my mind was overwhelmed trying to measure up to all of it..Amen..everything that was ever spoken over me or to me..because how many of ya know that when you start out with the Lord..you are so serious about it..Amen..you wanna hear and know everything..of what to do..and how to do it..Amen..and words well those are powerful when spoken over someone and their lives..and whether what is spoken is true or not still part of what has been spoken you hear in your ears..Amen..and you believe part of it..even if you think what has been said was not right..somehow you still believe..Amen..because the word says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God..Romans 10:17-21..Amen..and our words when spoken or spoken over us brings life or death..thats what scripture teaches us..that death and life are in the power of our tongues..Proverbs 18:21-23..Amen..so in the beginning for me it was super hard..I ran so hard trying to please my Lord..and it really drove me crazy..because so much rules..so much do to..and places to be..and everything in between..I mean just trying to live my life..and read my bible..and go to church..and look the part..and act the part..and be the part..not just for the Lord but as well people..because I represent Jesus..Amen..so that is huge to say the least..Amen..but in all of the doing..I felt that I never measured up and never done enough..Amen..it felt like a burden to me all of that..instead of freedom I felt I was more in bondage then anything..and that is a terrible place to be when you are beginning in the Lord..and you are starting out your journey and your walk with Him..Amen!”

“But this morning if this is you..I am gonna say this first off God will give you a person..Amen..someone who is true blue to loving Him..and teaching you..Amen..so holdfast to that person..Amen..and don’t ask for so many opinions because they will get you in trouble..they will give many opinions..so be careful with that..and pray to the Lord..and prayer is nothing more than talking to Him..from your heart..Amen..because He hears you..Praise the Lord..and ask for discernment and wisdom from Him..that when something is spoken in err over you..that you would know it..Amen..and know it immediately..Amen..and start where you are with the Lord..it does take a minute to grow in your relationship with Him..but over time you just begin to love Him so much..and through life you begin to trust Him..in the storm and waves and winds of life..you will know that you can trust the Lord..that He is there..Amen..and go to church for you are a babe in Christ and you are learning scripture..1 Corinthians 3:1/1 Peter 2:2..learning of the Lord..and what all He has done and did for others..so it encourages us in this ole world that we live..Amen..and you, yourself ask of the Lord to speak to you and change you..to let your life shine for Him..and ask of Him to correct you when you are in the ways of wrong..Amen..and He does and He will..because He doesn’t just let us stay babies..He grows us up in Him..but not in a forceful or a mean way..He does it gently and kindly towards us because He loves us and has so much compassion and grace towards us..Amen..but you see the enemy wants you to give up before you ever truly know Him..because once you know the Lord..not people and opinions..but Jesus..then you’ll stay with Him forever..Amen..because you will fall so in love with Him that you don’t ever wanna leave Him..Amen..for He is the best thing that ever has or ever will happen to me and my life..for He forever changed me from who I was to who I am now..Amen..do I still fail and fall?..I do at times..but I do as well hold on to the Lord..and I still love Him with everything in me..Amen..and He knows that..and again I am so thankful for that..but if you are beginning with Jesus..keep on moving and going..don’t stop..for He is with you..and He will guide and teach you..for He alone is our Good Shepherd..John 10:11-18..Amen..for we are like sheep..and we wander around at times..but the Lord keeps us safe inside His gates..Praise the Lord..for He says my sheep know my voice..and they follow Me..John 10:27-28..Amen..so keep following Him..keep listening to Him..and live your best life that you can ever live..walking hand in hand with our Lord..for He is a wonderful Savior..and such a wonderful and gracious Father..heavenly Father..Amen..so know that He has you..and you are His..and He will hold you fast..He will teach you and He alone will never leave you..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 ❤
