Is This Your Awakening?

Judges 1:19-21
19 And the LORD was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had chariots of iron.
20 And Hebron was given to Caleb, as Moses had said. And he drove out from it the three sons of Anak.
21 But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

Don’t Lose Heart or Give Up - Do This Instead

One of the most amazing things about the Lord is that He seeks and saves us and then gently deals with us throughout this life.
He desires for us to find our joy in Him so much that He is relentless in His sanctifying grace. There were times when I felt like giving up or losing heart...I'm sure you've felt that way as well.
Instead, use the gift of confession as the gift it was meant to be. We will never find purifying power hiding in darkness or cherishing our sin.
Psalms 66:16-20 16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. 17 I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue. 18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. 19 But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

I’m Afraid of Telling the Truth

Psalms 27:1 - OF DAVID "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
How would your life change if you truly believed that God is your light, your salvation, and your stronghold?
You wouldn't be afraid anymore. And not only that...but you would joyfully draw water from the well of God's salvation. You would leave behind the dirty water of the world that is diluted and polluted.

This Is The Foundation to Build a Different Life

Man of God, we have much work to do for our King and we cannot afford to waste any more time - hours and days of our lives - on pornography consumption.

How To Prepare Your Prayers for War

Psalms 5:3
3 O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.
David put it this way: “In the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up” (Ps. 5:3). This Scripture means that he marshaled his thoughts like men of war or that he aimed his prayers like arrows.
He did not take the arrow and put it on the bowstring and just shoot anywhere. After he had taken out the chosen shaft and fitted it to the string, he took deliberate aim.
He looked—looked well—at the center of the target. He kept his eye fixed on it, directing his prayer, and then drew his bow with all his strength and let the arrow fly.
Then, when the shaft had left his hand, what did he say? “[I] will look up.” He looked up to see where the arrow went, to see what effect it had, for he expected an answer to his prayers; he was not like many who scarcely think of their prayers after they have uttered them.
David knew that he had an engagement before him that required all his mental powers. He marshaled his faculties and went about the work in a workmanlike manner, as one who believed in it and meant to succeed.

Psalms 3 - Count Your Enemies and Know Their Lies

Psalms 3:1-4 1 O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; 2 many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah 3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. 4 I cried aloud to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy hill. Count Your Enemies:1. Your flesh 2. The influence of the world 3. The Great Accuser and Liar
What are the lies of the enemy when men struggle with ? 👉🏻 You don’t love God 👉🏻 You can’t trust God with your problems 👉🏻 God is tired of forgiving you for this 👉🏻 You’re a huge disappointment to Him 👉🏻 God is angry at you…He stopped loving you 👉🏻 He is going to punish you
But what are the promises of God...the truth vs the lies?
Google all of the promises of God and see if they don't prove to be a weapon against the lies of our enemy.
"There is a lifting up of the head by elevating to office, as with Pharaoh's butler; this we trace to the divine appointment. There is a lifting up in honor after shame, in health after sickness, in gladness after sorrow, in restoration after a fall, in victory after a temporary defeat; in all these respects the Lord is the lifter up of our head." ~ Spurgeon
