Drowning in Vs. Pouring out


People have different views when it comes to alcohol. For some, it’s almost like a ‘pain-killer’ for others it’s just something they consume when in a social setting. Now, my focus today is on the people who use alcohol as a pain-killer. The basic numbing impact of alcohol is what people use as means of killing pain. But, when you are sober again after a night of ‘no-pain’ guess what comes? The pain that you avoided yesterday plus a hangover!!!  Drinking to the point that we forget our current state is not killing pain but drowning in a sea of alcohol! However, there is another way out!!



I don’t know how many of you know this but I am a crier. I cry to let out stress or cry to my father in heaven when things don’t seem to be working out! In my walk with God these past couple of years God has been teaching me the worth of tears. “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” Psalm 56:8. Knowing that God is the only one capable of counting my tears worthy enough to count, I mostly just cry to Him. Whatever God tells us in His word is not just there just because, it is there to tell us know how much we mean to Him. He, throughout the entire bible, describes how much we mean to Him and yet how we continue to rebel against Him just boggles my mind!


Remember how a paragraph ago I said there was another way out! There is! Instead of downing in sea of alcohol why not pour out our tears to the one and only God that keeps track of them! I am not making this up, but the times I have gone down on my knees to pray about my worries and cried out to my lord, peace that surpasses all understanding takes control of my heart!. “6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

He also says…
“28 come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Notes:
  • Instead of drowning in alcohol, which will later give you a hangover, pour your sorrows out to God!
  • He doesn’t let any tear go to waste!

Stay Blessed<3

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...
