Hey my sweet blogging community, I haven't forgotten about you all, I really have been short of words lately because I have just felt so beyond broken and shattered, so I haven't even been able to encourage anybody because myself is pushing through a deep struggle. But I'm not going to give up, never once, I keep pushing to read my word and up my dosage. Could I ask you guys for some prayer and an extra dose of strength. I may look okay on the outside, but honestly It all matters what is on the inside how your soul is, It doesn't matter any about the outside appearance. I smashed my toe today, cracked my phone. I just sometimes want to give up completely but that's when God picks me right back up, my tears seem to not be coming out anymore because I have been crying out to God so much! My words are short today, because I just don't know where to begin but please prayer and upliftment is definitely what I AM in need of tonight!
So I wanted to share a couple scripture that comforted me this morning from my devotional and bible reading!! "Let us not become vainglorious and self-conceited, competitive and challenging and provoking and irritating to one another, envying and being jealous of one another" // Galatians 5:26 "Friends can destroy one another but a loving friend can stick closer than family" // Proverbs 18:24
" But the spiritual nature produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There are no laws against things like that" // Galatians 5:22-23
"DON'T entertain thoughts of FEAR!!
It's time for me to step up, and show the LOVE of JESUS and quit showing fear, God is my HEAVENLY FATHER, and I'm a born again CHRISTIAN, so I WILL NOT let the enemy get ahold of me anymore, HAHAHHAHHAHAH devil, get outta here! You are unwanted by me in the name of JESUS.
So the rest is going to be some snap shots from this week: Someone told me big pictures are better so I'm going to give it a shot.
Hey Guys, Lets be a little JOYFUL
XOXO- Sarah Elizabeth
Its's getting better and Better!!!!!
"All things are possible through Christ who Strengthens me"
Hey followers, I just wanted to encourage you how great it is to get down on our knees in prayer! I have been overcoming a battle lately with my health, but I haven't given up! I obeyed the Lord tonight and got down in prayer tonight and Praised through the hurt, and thanked my God that the healing is already mine. "Sometimes being down on our Knees in prayer, is the greatest way to overcome the battle!"- Sarah Elizabeth. Im praying for strong health tonight! I broke down into tears when I realized how precious that Jesus died for mine and your healing's. Don't let go of how precious our Savior is! All thing works for our good. [When sickness tries to strike you, and the enemy roars with symptoms and pain, say, "No, Satan! I'm hidden in healing, and Im not coming out!-Nancy Dufresne.] It's kind of like a hide and seek game if you think about it, your hidden in Christ! Gods love has just over poured me tonight, even through the storm I chose to get down on my knees. That was really all I had to say for this post. But I want to share some healing scriptures if your in need of them like I am today!
"He sent His word and healed them,And delivered them from their destruction's" // Psalm 107:20
"And the
LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none
of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them
on all those who hate you." //Deuteronomy 7:15
"For
I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, saith
the Lord." // Jeremiah 30:17
"Behold, I will bring you health and cure, and I will cure you, and
will reveal unto you the abundance of peace and truth." // Jeremiah 33:6
"Therefore
I say to you whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive
them, and you will have them." // Mark 11:24
These songs brought my heart so much peace tonight! I listened to one of them as I was down on my knees tonight!
Hey my lovely followers! Just sitting here with some dead time and a
topic about being fearless popped up in my head! Isn't it crazy how God
puts a topic in our heads as a blogger about a previous life
experience? Crazy right, I know I know! Well I want to share this story
with you, when I was in 5th grade well I was actually going into 6th
grade, craziness sharing a story over 7 years ago! Well Lets be fearless
came to my heart because when I was riding my bike one summer
afternoon, it was like my life changed in a blink of an eye! The next
thing I knew I was in shock, in the middle of a cotton field, while my
bike was literally a mile away from me after I realized it. Your getting
curious now right, In a blink of a bite I could have lost my life. But
God had to have been looking out for me that day, I was severely
attacked by 3 dogs that summer afternoon, not even realizing what had
just happened. I here a shot, oh man how that truly scared me, I thought
I was officially going to loose my life but I made it out alive and
happy! The saddest thing from that memory is how I lost my beautiful
scar free legs, but it still brought me back to that topic of Fearless,
because after all of that I had fear and I would cry when every dog
would come near me, but life changed because I have the best dogs I
could possibly have to this day. The day I got saved, my life was
forever changed, because God proved to me that the fear I used to have
for dogs didnt exist anymore. Yes do I get flashbacks from that
experience and hospital visit sometimes when I look at those ugly scars
all over my body. But God has taught me how to be a fearless daughter of
God. I would be so lost if God didnt take over my life, without him I
was tremendously scared of Dogs for the longest time. But not no more
because they have became my bestfriends and sometimes I think they
listen more then actual people! "Your animals are like yourself" be
happy and your dogs will be loving. Animal abuse makes them evil, they
are innocent until you dont show love to them. But God taught me how to
be fearless ever since that memory that sometimes comes back when I look
at myself in the mirror! Even through the scars everybody, know you are
unique and precious in the name of God. "Im loved, treasured, favored
daughter of God" Don't give up on the gift God has placed in your life!
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor
forsake you." // Deuteronomy 31:6
For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. // Isaiah 41:13
"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?" // Psalm 27:1
When life hits you with a flashback from something immediately cast your care on God because he completely cares for you. "Cast all your anxieties on God for he cares for us" 1st peter 5:7 , I also want to share the amplified version because I just get so much peace from it. "Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully." // 1st peter 5:7 Amp
"They will show Love if you are Loving, they are like a furry person"
My heart really wants to pray for you all, so if you have a prayer request leave me it guys!
If you ever need someone to listen, or even be a friend, Im available via email!
First Id like to mention that most of my reference to this blog post came from a powerful book called, Does your tongue need healing? by Derek Prince! If you do not have that book, borrow it or buy it. Definitely life changing. I read this book in like 2 hours, could not put it down. 2 words, life changing!
The title says it all, How is your tongue? Did you know the power of what you speak can either help or destroy you? "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit// Proverbs 18:21 Nas" If its written in the book of life (BIBLE) it must be correct right? Well it is! The Lord dealt with me pretty hard tonight about how some of my actions have been, and some of the things I have been saying. All of this happened as I was listening to the word on my phone, and texting with my spiritual mother. Matter of fact I was in tears, Crazy huh? But I praise God that his forgiveness is so good. There is so many forgiveness scriptures, check it out in that Bible for yourself. It is so important to have a clean and pure heart, because A wicked one is the Enemy coming to kill steal and destroy. As you can see what comes out of your mouth shows how your heart is on the inside. We definitely will have a life full of sorrow if we cant control our tongues and lips. I want to let you know even the best christian, or spiritual believer slips, but Gods forgiveness is amazing. Remember our words determine destiny! Something to think about right? Hopefully I got your mind thinking tonight, because mine is, but from the power of God.
"The healing of the tongue is a tree of life"
"Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely"
"The words of a gossip are like morsels; they go down to a man inmost parts // Proverbs 18:8"
"Unless this disease of lying is arrested and healed it is sure to be fatal"
Diseases of the toungue!
Excessive Talking
Idle or careless words
Gossip
Lying
Flattery
Hastiness of speech
"A pure spring is the Holy Spirit"
"The blood of Jesus doesn't cleanse in the dark"
First steps on healing our tongue!
Call your problem by it's right name. Sin!
Confess your sin and receive Forgiveness and cleansing! (Read 1st John 1:7-9)
Refuse sin, yield to God
My heart was heavy, but thats why God invented Praise, so Get your praise on!
The greatest blessings are yet to come! Halleluah, this is the year.
God dont make no Junk, so dont receive it!
Well, I hope you guys are doing lovely!
With Love- Sarah Elizabeth!
Psalm 16:8
