"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

TAKE CAPTIVE


"It is in the present moment that you find Me ever near you," -Jesus Lives.

With more of an attack of the enemy on my physical body, my emotions, my soul, Jesus is the only one who can see me through. An endless battle for our souls are being fought in the Spiritual World. Satan will try everything to literally destroy us. Even though he is not omnipresent, and "cannot" read our minds, he does, along with his henchmen, watch and observe how we talk, behave and act. From there he can pick up our weaknesses and use them against us. To torment. To try and "kill/destroy" us. His biggest tool against us is "fear."

Fear, I know all too well. It is a constant battle with me fighting fearful, dying and some times suicidal thoughts.

That is why it is so important to take every negative, fearful, hurtful, painful, suicidal etc. thought captive. I have to constantly be reminded of this. Especially when I am really feeling awful physically. I have to remember to put forth the Word of God. There is power in the name of Jesus.

  2. So grateful for the grace to do this
    ...just letting go of self-effort and asking
    the Lord to enable us to hold His gaze as He lifts us up and holds us,
    everything we love,
    everybody we love
    and our future
    near in His arms of love.
    It's such a life-giving breeze
    to realize we can't do this in our own ability
    ...that He is the One who even gives us grace
    to take thoughts captive.
    Because He has captured our hearts:)
    We are His.
    Relaxing in His Love sooooo honors Him.
    Lord take us there:)
    love and joy,
    Jennifer

  4. I have memorized this:

    For although we are in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh, for the weapons of our battle are not of the flesh but are ENORMOUSLY powerful, capable of destroying fortresses. We DESTROY arguments and every pretension (assumed right) raising itself against the the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive in obedience to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

    When I pray this over and over, I literally feel my entire body empowered up and strengthened...Love ya!!
