Stray ponderings

Love is PATIENT

love is KIND

It is NOT RUDE

It is NOT SELF-SEEKING

WOW- I love the Word

oh, how we get tripped up sometimes and then dissatisfied
This country is too prosperity minded. Well, it's the world system under the dark prince. That's how he tries to trip us up:

" you are somebody now, you made money from your book"

"look at how gifted you are"

" you need to be somebody great"

" you need to be self-actualized in every way, you know, become super gifted at everything and supper beautiful-- shine, shine, shine)

"people are flocking to you, you must have all the answers"

" you should definitely charge $ for your 'love' services"

LIES LIES LIES, EMPTY LIES

I was just thinking of ways the dark prince tries to trip us up... (and has tripped up so many)

And it's all too much about those dollars sometimes, ain't it...?

But the Word says to seek first His kingdom, not making a name for ourselves, or making dough (cash), self-seeking.

We're all pressured under his lies...

Through Christ in us we can overcome and we do.
He alone is true fulfillment
We also need to pray for one another....overcoming together

this video is about a girl, I know, but it's also about LIES

Once- Lies

Hey, I love this band. I have their Cd. They are amazing!

It's amazing that the evil one has the ability to throw all these lies at us when we are in a state of unsureness and perhaps insecurity of not knowing the direction or steps we are to take. I think though that we as Father's children have the ability to knock those lies back in to the evil ones face and through it all still find Father and his truth in the midst of it all!

Love your thoughts dearest sister!

In Freedom, Nicole!
