It's POWER in your Tongue!!

Hello Lovelies,

Last week was a tough one in the presences of the Lord. Through doubt, self- love was placed on my heart. God allowed me to realize that throughout my journey, self-worthiness has been hard on me. Deciding if I am worthy enough to truly live out my life to the fullest and to seek God's kingdom or "just be me" was extremely hard. Especially when you feel like you are not worthy enough to receive everything our Father wants us to receive.

This world will get to us quick and attack us from the inside, out. So, it is extremely important that we stay rooted in the word of God. Things like my job, family, car issues, school, friends, and situations were affecting the way I thought about myself. It's HARD especially when you are fully in obedience to God, on your face daily, and being faithful. BUT your self love is lacking, as if God is like these human boys sending us (women) mixed signals on what we deserve.

Y'all listen, I am TRULY LIVING for Christ. I am in complete surrender to my Lord and Savior. On my face everyday and every night, church faithfully, and being obedient. I was spending time with Him every morning and night, submitted to Him everyday, and prayed all the time, but I still felt unworthy of His saving grace. I knew I couldn't rest there because God has been too good, raised me out of my dead situation and gave me life again. I needed to fix this!!

Here I am defeated and throwing the towel in on my worth. When on Saturday I attended a breast cancer luncheon with one of my sisters in Christ and while one of the panelist was PREACHING!! I heard the Holy Spirit say "Who gave you the spirit of defeat?", it shocked me. As I stood there and tried to make excuses as to why the spirit of defeat was on me. God showed me that even when I was younger I KNEW, I was going to win. So I looked in the mirror and asked myself, "Who gave you the spirit of defeat?"

The answer was.....Me!

I had got so caught up in my own head and being a ex-worldly girl I didn't even remember that Ephesians 2:8 says "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourself; it is the gift of God," 

So now I'm defeated, SELFISH, and rejected the amazing gift from God. Like wow, BreShay, REALLY?? I had to face Him through prayer. Who was I to say that I am truly living for God but denying the fact that being saved through my faith was a gift from God that I didn't deserve on my own account through my own mind.....WHAT??! Ladies and gentlemen this is a CLEAR example on exactly why you should NOT lean onto your own understanding because quite frankly, really truly...HONESTLY it can be very stupid at times.

I think I make my point!! You are your worse enemy. The devil does his part but it's all in the power of your tongue. If you choose to speak non-sense, the lack of self worthiness, and defeat into your life that's what you will recieve. (Proverbs 18:21) 

Today, choose to speak ALL godly and good things into your life. God wants us to recieve more, abundantly, and strength. Ask Him for guidance if you get stuck but NEVER take it into your own hands. You will be speaking things on your life God NEVER sent.
