The Lord is so timely, I was literally walking into my room still meditating in my mind about my past sin and when I read this quote I was reminded of the truth that He has forgiven me! ❤️
I repented and asked for forgiveness already, now it’s time to walk in the forgiveness that He has given me.
By continuing to meditate on my sins with no game plan for change and not refocusing my mind on His word and truth I am opening myself up to shame, guilt, regret, anxiety etc. I am making room for the enemy to keep me bound mentally and eventually physically.
I share this to encourage someone that the only thing the enemy has on you is your past and because of Jesus he can’t find you there no more!! Focus on the present and future that the Lord has for you because you are free in Jesus’ name and the truth of His word is that you are a new creation in Christ!
We Know Satan will attack weak spots first. Forty days of fasting left Jesus famished, so satan began with the topic of bread. Jesus’s stomach was empty, so to the stomach Satan turned. Where are you empty? Are you hungry for attention, craving success, longing for intimacy ? Be aware of your weaknesses. Bring them to God before Satan brings them to you.
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Remember Peter
Matthew 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Troubled with burdens or oppressed
