We overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony (see Revelation 12:11) Freedom is in the truth; of my struggles and God's grace. This is my eye witness testimony.

2 Peter 1:2-4
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
We are not helpless and we are not weak. This scripture declares that God has given us everything that we need to succeed and dominate in this life and in his Kingdom. Our power is a result of our knowledge of who God is. When we come to know and accept who God is through the person of Jesus Christ, we become a reckoning force to any evil that might come against us in this life. (see James 4:7) If you feel weak, spend time in your Bible and prayer to get to know who God is better. If you feel helpless or hopeless, pick up your Bible and study the teachings of Jesus in the gospels. We are the adopted sons of God and are sealed forever by his spirit. He has given us his spirit and his power. Jesus said greater works would his disciples do them him. (see John 14:12) What about us?
John 1:11-13
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Ephesians 1:12-14
King James Version
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
So I find that there are certain things that when done make for a much better day than when I don't do them. As a single mom sometimes it gets hard to do these and then everything seems to be a bigger ordeal for me. Lord help me to do better with that. I would tell you don't judge me, but I know you are going to do it anyway so I will say please be gracious toward me. 1. Start the snowball of positive thinking : For me this means prayers of thanks, reading my Bible, listening to positive music, writing a letter to God or to myself, even watching some Veggie Tales (what do you know about those Veggies?) with my son sometimes. The reality is there is enough negative that comes at me; why would I invite anything other than a flood of positive truth into my mind and my life? This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it...or else!!! haha just kidding (sort of) 2. Wash up!: Remember when I said be gracious?...
I was told that by 6 months old or so my son should be effectively sleeping through the night. Well, Tomorrow is his first birthday and he has already woken up twice...make that three times because he woke up while I was writing this! I really miss sleeping and I want my little one to get sleep too. He wakes up every two or three hours to nurse. I try to get him to go back to sleep, but a baby who is standing up and pulling on the side of his crib isn't going back to sleep easily. I sing, swing, shush , and attempt to swaddle, but he won't have any of it. Sometimes I let him cry his way back to sleep, but it only last for about a half hour before he reawakens more determined than before. The screaming wears on my nerves and the lack of sleep is wearing on my days. Some days I think "This is it. This is my life now. I will never feel rested again, and I will never be fully alert again." I expected to lose sleep when I found out I was pregnant. I expected to be tired, b...
I used to dream all the time that I was witnessing to people. People would ask me questions and I would begin to speak about the goodness of the Lord, and how Jesus was the solution to all of their problems or desires. I feel anointed to be having those dreams again. Maybe someone needs these words. I talk about my journey of faith, but maybe you haven't begun that journey yet so let me tell you about Jesus. Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world, the messiah, the only begotten son of God. Jesus is God in humanity. He came down to earth, lived a human life, did miraculous things to show people who he was and how much he loved them. Jesus felt every human emotion that any of us have ever felt. Jesus taught us how to live as people of God. Then he died so that we wouldn't have to be separated from him anymore. You see sin separates us from God because he is holy. We all have sinned therefore we all should be separated fro...
