Thoughts on Temptation 😳🚫
It’s not bad to be tempted.
How you allow your own identity to be compromised when temptation comes around is the key! Jesus was tempted. And he responded to the temptation with the truth.
We can do the same ❤️ This. Is. Good. News.

Temptation 🚫😳
Is it wrong to be tempted? Is there space to be able to recognize that temptation is not a sin?
There is so much shame around the concept of being tempted. We immediately feel guilt and shame when we feel the invitation of temptation.
But what we need to remember is that being tempted is not a sin ❤️Jesus himself was tempted. When Jesus reminded Satan the truth of the Word of God and remained convinced of his identity as the Son of God, that’s when the devil fleet.
We have the same power to do the same 🙏🏼💪🏼

Jesus is on the way 🔥
Y’all… I got hit by the Holy Spirit when I said this.
It’s true.
It’s simple.
It’s powerful.
He is on the way. You have not been forgotten. You have not been forsaken. You are not alone. He is for you.
Jesus. Is. On. The. Way.

Tell the truth 🍋
What happens when we tell the truth?
What happens when we are honest with ourselves about who we are?
What happens when we are honest about how we are feeling?
Truth holds us to a framework for life that keeps us accountable. When we forgo the truth about ourselves, what we feel, how we relate to others, we falsify our lives and create shaky ground that makes it impossible to foundational believe in anything.
We need the truth of who God is and who we are to him to keep our feet planted firmly. Only then, can we grow and live full, authentic, enriched lives.✨❤️

What lens is your heart seeing through today?👀👓
Sometimes the circumstances of life can cause our viewpoint of God to be skewed. When we experience pain, fear, shame, trauma it can shape how we interpret the relationship we have with God.
It’s good to take time, step back and see if we are looking at our life through the lens of those experiences. Because when we can see our circumstances for what they really are, it can free us up to be able to see our lives and our relationships with God for what they truly are ❤️

I haven’t been forgotten ❤️
Sometimes we need to remind our souls the truth 🥹✨ This moment happened during our recent visit to @fbcwi
There was a sweetness in the Lord’s presence that reminded us that we have never been forsaken, never been forgotten. It was a beautiful moment of remembering the truth and singing this over the church and ourselves.
Thank you Faith Bible for having us! We are so thankful for your friendship and we were honored to share Sunday with you all ❤️

Thoughts on Dwelling 🤔
What is the difference between a dwelling place and to dwell somewhere?
How do we dwell with God?
How does he dwell with us?
What does it mean in Psalm 84 when it says how lovely is your dwelling places o Lord of hosts?

What if you saw “sanctification” start to pop up on your feed as a new mental health hot topic?! 😱😱😱
Trying to keep mental/emotional wellbeing out of a conversation about sanctification is pretty impossible. When we consider what it really means to be transformed day by day into the image of Christ, we have to acknowledge that His holy outward behaviors flowed from holy inward processes ✝️❤️
Holiness implies my whole-person transformation into the whole-person of Jesus — thoughts, attitudes, emotions and all! 🙌🏼
