Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
Everyday I spend time with my Heavenly Father. The closer I get to Him, the more He changes my heart. He continues to show me everyday that I can trust Him. He’s teaching me that there is nothing in this world that I can’t talk to Him about. He cares for me.
It feels good to be a child of God. It feels good to live a life without worrying. It seems like everyday I’m teaching my brain a new way of thinking. I have to train my brain that we no longer have to worry about how things are going to happen. God provides!
I took a step of faith when I created this blog. I wasn’t originally going to pay for starting it because if I’m being honest, money is tight. Especially at the time I started, that was my last. But God told me to do it and trust Him. So, I obeyed.
I don’t understand everything God is doing in my life, and I don’t know who I am helping with this blog. But, whoever you are know that you are loved and God is calling you to draw closer to Him. To my subscriber who gifted me, I thank you! That gesture may have been small to you, but it was a blessing to me. It’s just another reminder that He is Jehovah Jireh.
One thing I have learned in this walk is that everyday I have to choose to kill my fleshly desires. This is hard to do but it is necessary. The best part is, I have The Holy Spirit to help me achieve this.
The people around me don’t understand this change. They’re stuck on who I was, but I am no longer a slave to sin. Everyday I have to reintroduce myself to the people that think they know who I am.
If you are on this walk with getting closer to God, I encourage you to stick around and read some of my post to learn a little about where I came from. I was trying to escape my pain by living life in virtual worlds, ignoring my responsibilities. I was playing with men’s hearts, drinking alcohol everyday, maintaining relationships that brought pain, and I was addicted to pornography.
But God did not allow me to stay there. He snatched me out of those chains of darkness. I couldn’t understand why I felt bad every time I would do those things. But it was The Holy Spirit, He was changing my heart because even though I was doing those things I was praying that my situation changed. What I didn’t understand is that He was changing me.
I’m not ashamed anymore. The enemy has you when he has you bound with things you have to keep secret. Now, that I have surrendered my life to God I gave all of those things up because choosing God requires sacrifice. I stopped gaming, drinking, threw away all of my vibrators, stopped watching porn, stopped cursing, and so much more. These things didn’t happen over night and they didn’t happen in my own strength. To get to this point, you have to have the help of The Holy Spirit!
Whew! Now that we got that out, I’ll reintroduce myself.
Hi, I’m Amber the Bible Brat, which stands for blocking reality and transforming. Transformation starts with me and now, I can encourage others to do the same because I have been through and I am still getting through it.
If you’re reading this and you want to know where to start, then my friend you can start by saying the prayer below. Before you say this prayer, be sure you are ready to go through the purification process. It will not be easy, but it is so worth it. To my fellow believers let’s say this prayer with the new believers because we are all in this together!
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and surrender my life to You. Cleanse my heart. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day for my Victory. I believe that in my heart and I confess with my mouth, that Jesus is my Lord and my Savior. I receive eternal life, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, celebrate because you just made the best decision of your life! Let’s see some Amen in the comments for all of our brothers and sisters in Christ!
Happy Thursday!!! Let’s celebrate our new lives in Christ!!!
