Yesterday I wrote about the message I was given from my prayer warrior Lois. I wrote also the strength of the message was found in Believing it is true. This belief continued into the counseling sessions during the day. As I was having the next to last one in the afternoon, the man sitting across from me was struggling with his own belief. As I listened to him I knew it was the right time to share my earlier message from Jesus. So, I told him about the card I’d received and Christ’s message to me that morning. I also told him that God’s Holy Spirit had nudged me to share this with him which was true. Last night this man text me a long message telling me how important all of this was to him and he was going to spend a good deal more time working on his belief.

This morning as I was continuing this belief topic with Jesus, I asked why I still struggle with the old temptations with porn at the top of the list? He simply asked, “Do you BELIEVE the power within you–God’s Holy Spirit, is greater than this temptation’s power? I suddenly realized my flaw–no, I didn’t believe this or had even thought this through. I had been told by all 3 counselors of my past that this struggle will likely stay with me since the abuse of youth lasted so long and its roots ran so deep. Today I realize this message of man was believed more than Christ’s message of God’s Power within me. So, today my BELIEF has grown from believing I’m fearfully and wonderfully made to include that my BELIEF in God’s Spirit within me is STRONGER than any temptation that wants to overcome me.

I LOVE how God is just never done growing Himself with me–(YOU and me).
