I wish I could tell you that every day would be bright and sunny and everything would go smoothly, but I can’t because each day brings disruptions.
—So how do we deal with life’s endless dilemmas that, at times, seem like they are choking the joy out of life and leave us feeling tired, alone, and sometimes even afraid? Whereas other days feel blessed beyond measure, and we are skipping the cobblestone-like we didn’t have a care in the world, yet oddly enough, the day before was no different than today.
The Bible says,
In Matthew 6:34,
“Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Informatively YHWY is telling us that daily troubles are a part of human life. Thus we rely on God’s positive reinforcement to see that difficulties don’t mean God has left us or that the world is ending. – Romans 15:4 is encouraging, whereas Paul says, “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
Too often, the world neglect God’s Word including the comfort we need. How many people view the scriptures like a skull and bones, as if our dear God would leave us words to harm us when, in fact, they have all we need?
I find through experience that searching the daily scriptures throughout the day, every day is my food, the “daily bread,” and without eating a healthy meal, of course, the result is to end up feeling empty and mentally, emotionally, and spiritually sick.
Imagine If you went thirty days without nourishment, taking in the actual food, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you would feel tired, sluggish, and irritable. At the same time, your body would begin to look old and frail and without hope.
Furthermore, you would feel sick, and the things you used to like to do will gradually become unimportant; piece by piece, your body would fail you, and life would fall apart. It’s all because you chose not to eat.
—How about people who consider themselves Christian and haven’t read a Bible in years?
What about the Catholic or Christian who uses it as an idol by placing the Bible unopened on a nightstand or shelf as if the book will protect you? Perhaps alongside crucifixes and artifacts that have no power to save or protect.
The cross is empty, and while Jesus lives and is present, the scripture’s primary purpose is to lead us to know God and have a personal relationship with Him. It’s not to memorize the word like a school book but to ingest it empowering our hearts to be consumed with God.
Scripture ref:
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV)
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
God’s word restores our sight and brings us a new vision that eases the daily ordeal of life. The reason scripture tells us to not only read it but do what it says lest we be deceived.
James 1:22
Do not merely listen to the word and deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
Moreover, a good portion of our lives is a mixture of confidence and insecurity while, at the same time, it can be laced with deception if we’re not careful. Satan has been out to deceive since man was created, and from a very early age, he begins to chip away at the godly foundation, in us, which includes the character and purpose we were born with. It’s become so evil that now gender is in question, and confusion and perversion are promoted.
Nonetheless, the scales weigh heavier to one side for those who didn’t receive the proper love and nurturing at a young age. Therefore throughout your lives, you relied on worldly things to get by. Which left many of you feeling incomplete and incapable of handling life on life terms.
—As a result, and as life becomes more complex, the struggles become more intricate, and its complexity, overwhelms the flesh.
It’s important to remember that we are not battling each other, but rather principalities that seek to cause havoc and destroy our minds, and without God, His Word, and Spirit, many people seem to go over the edge in secret.
Bible Ref:
-Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Having said that, Our mindsets and hearts are formed by God to love and be healthy. Therefore we learn to love and handle life properly through discipline, “not medication,” leaving the chemicals in the brain to realign with God and allowing the supernatural flow of Gid’s healing and self-control and clarity to secrete into the body evenly.
We can thus manage stress with the right coping tools, and troubles don’t turn into tornados. I speak from experience!
In contrast, a person who didn’t receive nurturing early on or was raised with violence and fear not only learns to fall apart easily but they may have also been conditioned to see the worst in things, thus hindering their ability to see clearly.”
Did you know that our brains are modified by the constant flight or flight response by living in terror, thus changing our chemical makeup and creating havoc on our nervous system. – The reason for irritability, irrational fear, doubt, short temper, excessive crying, snap judgment, and impulse reactions turn a temporary situation into a long-term battle in the mind and body.
I, like many of you, am traveling this path of healing, and as the Holy Spirit gives me these words to say, my heart feels heavy, and sadness blankets me, but I know and believe in the miracles works of Christ. – I have both seen and experienced them not only in my ministry but in my life, and our confidence is in Christ that we will be healed completely.
I am confident in Christ that healing is for everyone, as Exodus 15:26 tells us that God is ‘the Lord who heals us.’
—Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:17, and 1 Peter 2:24 tell us that Jesus, on the Cross, bore our sicknesses and carried our pains to remove them from us, and by His stripes, we have been healed. Still, stress emphasizes the pressures of life, creating anxiety and worry and, for some, brings about physical symptoms like fatigue, depression, insomnia, and oversleeping.
Stress can also cause hair loss, weight gain or loss of appetite, and binge eating while also ghost pains and things like Fibromyalgia.
Today I want to encourage you that you are not alone. We are in this together as a body of the Church, and through Christ and with Christ, we are healed.
We not only have to study, stand together, learn, pray, trust, love, and forgive, but live it out.
Beloved, it’s time to heal, grow, and expand your tent pegs in faith as we progressively do the work needed to understand God’s will and walk confidently in who were are as Christians.
We believe through the transformative power of Christ, He is where our healing comes from and I am happy to share it with you. It’s time to position yourselves to receive it rightfully.
—I am grateful that Father is using me to help you while you navigate this windy road of awakening and healing.
At the same time, we are all recovering from something; therefore we are out here sharing this revelation and the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the homeless and the sick.
God is moving!
I endured a lot of trauma in my life, and as it helps me to help you, you all are critical to me, and together we become one through Christ.
Philippians 2:2 (ESV)
Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord, and of one mind.
You are going to be Okay!
God Bless you,
Sister Christine
