God Gave Me This For YOU!

The last blog was called, “Know Thyself.” You need to KNOW you. Know your weaknesses. KNOW YOUR DEAL or your deal will take you down. You’ll go back to those people who used to do heroine with you, who you used to smoke pot with, who you used to live with…you’re going to get tired and give in. You can’t trust your flesh.

Please understand that I can preach so well on this because I have PROBLEMS, and I know ME.

When We Are Tired, We Need To Avoid Saying These Things:

1. I can’t take much more of this. (Regarding your marriage, mind, or money.)

2. It will never change. (It WILL change because everything changes, in fact, change is the ONE thing you can count on!)

3. Something is wrong with me so I must be a bad leader/Mom/Dad.

4. People don’t like me.

5. I’ll never be able to do this.

Jesus Knew Not To Speak When He Was Hurting And Exhausted

We say these things because we are exhausted. Jesus took the pain and was like a lamb before the slaughter, yet he did not open his mouth. He knew not to speak when he was hurting and exhausted.

Consider carefully what you hear (Mark 4:24) because the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. (Luke 6:45)

Get Determined, Get Some Sleep, And Focus On Thanking God

Deposit this into your spirit today. Thank god for what you DO have and stop focusing on what you don’t. Get something to eat, sleep on it, and whatever you do, if you are tired, don’t speak! Don’t allow your words in the present to kill your future. If you must speak, then speak life.

I can do this. I will do this. I am doing this. I am an overcomer!
