Sometimes you have to just have blind faith and trust what god has planned for you even when you go through a negative period in your life. I know that a lot of you have second thoughts about purpose and how you can serve god more and bring purpose into your life. Dont worry about the how, just ask god to help and to show you the way and be open to anything occurring. Dont have a pre conception of what it is, just allow god to show you where you are needed.

Temptations will be around you in every form and sometimes the enemy uses little triggers that you aren't even aware of to throw you into the temptation that you struggle with. God tells me that if you be honest with yourself and that your aware that the temptation is bad and of the devils work then you will be able to turn it away as the desire will no longer be there. Too many humans cover up their faults and flaws by telling themselves that it is okay to give in to that temptation, when in reality the temptation leads to feeling of guilt , shame and a cycle of repeating it over and over again. So be aware of the triggers , be honest with what temptations you need to work on. Our god is an honest GOD and truth will literally set you free.

Today I want to talk about how the enemy can manipulate your thoughts without you even realising it ! Its important to be aware of your thoughts at all times and to have faith in god and Jesus. See if you are feeling weakened by lifes downfalls , hurts and challenges , its important to give it all to God and let him handle it ! The more you carry your burdens and your hurts and shames the more ammunition you have given to the devil himself to use it against you ! He will find your weakness and he will make you feel guilt, or self sabotage or even doubts. It could be from losing someone you love and making you feel the guilt out of your sadness. Or telling you in your thoughts that you are too old to achieve your goals. See if you can strengthen your mind and find your strength through the almighty, then the enemy can't use your pain against you any longer! So its important to be switched on people and not let him have the upper hand with your pain or the experiences that your going through right now and to give it to GOD! Give it to Jesus, let him take it all from your shoulders and remember Psalm 23:4 and that God knows what your going to go through , he knows exactly what the devil will throw against you and use against you and he wants you fight and not let the enemy win.
