This is a serious entry. Because I'm starting to take my faith really seriously.
God has been doing a lot for me for days now. Encouraging me and strengthening me (and convicting me and chastening me for some sins that just has to go). He has been sorting out the confusion in my mind, and talking to me a lot in the Spirit.
I've gotten a lot of ideas about what I am supposed to focus on for a while. I have a future calling dealing with false teachings, false prophecy and deceitful spirits. Basically sorcery in the Church and anti-christian lies, that needs to be dealt with and removed. His Bride becoming unblemished. My calling includes deliverance I would assume as well, but it's more about truth and focusing on Jesus Christ more than anything else. God has given me great discernment and also taught me very much about our authority in His name. I've seen a lot of falsehood, and I have experiences from being deceived, mostly because Satan tried to make me a false prophet/teacher. Which he will regret, and must have already regretted. Because God has plans to use all of it for His purpose, and already has used it.
But I'm also supposed to teach. This however, is a bit confusing to me, since I am a woman. What can I do and what can't I do? I want to take this part very seriously as well, and be the woman that God wants me to be. I'll keep praying and studying the Word.
I've felt lately how I cannot stay silent if someone is teaching falsehood, because they are hurting God's children, and I want to counter it with Truth. This however, I learnt today, is done best by teaching people how to discern lies by giving them a good foundation from the Word and relying on the Holy Spirit. Thus also making God their focus and the Holy Spirit their Teacher, so that God can help every believer stand strong against the enemy.
Anyway, I'm feeling my faith deepening already, and my mind focusing and taking everything much more seriously than I have in a long time.
It feels really good and I'm happy. I get to live and work for God, who I love and worship, and am honored to serve. I feel really nervous about it still though, but He once told me that He trusts me. Why? Don't ask me! I've betrayed Him more than most people could even imagine. But someone said it's probably because my attitude in those situations. My repentant heart that God won't let go of. The Lord is good and so forgiving. And He has shown me what His Grace truly is about.
I'm not afraid though. For the first time, I'm not trapped in fear, because I trust God too much.
I've met so much opposition already, which I wasn't expecting, not that much, but it has strengthened me and my faith. I'm not gonna lie and say I'm ready for whatever comes, but I know God will keep me standing.
I will wait and keep following His leading. There's much work to do.
One step at a time, and in His timing. There is a lot I have to learn, and there is a lot I want to do for God, but I need to keep focusing on Him and on Scripture, so Satan doesn't deceive me again.
And we're all in this together. Although it certainly feels like it most of the time, I'm not alone. I love every one of my brothers and sisters.
Just wanted to share. I'm feeling God really moving me forward, praise Him! He has already done so much for me, and now I want to see Him moving in the lives of everyone around me.
Father, Your will be done! Your Kingdom come! My life is Yours, and I trust You! Make me everything that You want me to become, in the likeness of Your Son Jesus. Teach me Your ways and Your truth! Don't let me give up again, but strengthen me and use me for Your perfect purposes! And do this for all of my sisters and brothers who love You! In Jesus' name, Amen!
