Sometimes it’s the book we don’t think we need that is the most impactful! As someone who doesn’t struggle with rejection — at least, I thought I didn’t — I picked up Uninvited in hopes of having something encouraging to read before bed each night. Little did I know, this book was going to challenge my thinking and allow God to reveal things in my life that I had no idea were there!

Words of Encouragements
The Bible speaks about pride coming before destruction. Having the power to infect a person's heart and destroy their relationship with God, pride is not something to take lightly. A single seed can sprout multiple fruits; however, we have the authority to stop its growth! By allowing the Holy Spirit to instruct and refine us, we can turn Satan's schemes into stepping stones, sharpening our weapons for battle, and gaining wisdom in the lessons!
If you are dedicated to living your life for Yeshua, these prideful thoughts do not need to tempt or divert your gaze anymore! I'm currently learning this (blog coming soon) and have found that when prideful thoughts whisper in my ear, I must take the thoughts captive and exclaim, "No, this is not about me, these thoughts are lies, and Satan is not going to draw me away from Kingdom living!"
"It is pride, and her many infectious daughters, that lure us into discord and dissension, wranglings and controversies, disharmony and disagreements - conflict and friction."

In a world where self has become the central focus, and your number of followers equals success, it's time to fight! Satan shall not succeed! He has stolen too many Believers by sowing pride into their hearts, but his reign ends now!

People love giving their opinions. They have no problem getting into our business and explaining that what we're doing is wrong, but should Believers be meddling in God's plans for another? Who are they to question God's voice? If we devote our lives to living after God, we will never be able to stick to the status quo or fit inside one of society's boxes! Does the Bible have anything to say about this? You betcha!
As believers in Yeshua, we are automatically targeted and judged for how we live. We don’t fit the status quo, and that threatens people. They can’t put us in a box, so their instinct is to go on the defence and try to “fix” us. It’s draining, and we will spend our whole lives trying to reason with people and explain why we’re doing these things; but, guess what, we don’t owe them anything.
Of course, we want to defend our name and explain why we are living a certain way or going through particular things, but those who have not gone through the same journey will never understand. It’s time we stop wasting that energy on defending ourselves against man and use that energy to fight the attacks of the enemy that come at us in our weakness. We’ll never fit into people’s bubbles, but we will thrive when we stop asking the questions, “Is there something really wrong with me? Could I be doing more? Are those people right?” And begin seeing what the Father is doing. He is leading us and showing us what we are to be doing right now; it’s not up to other people.
So, be encouraged that you are on the right track and all those opinions are people trying to understand with their carnal minds, rather than seeing you through the Spirit’s eyes!
“Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand...” Romans 14:4

You are not defeated! This is not the end! “We need both the winds of hardship and the winds of relief to sweep across our lives if we are to be truly fruitful!” ~ @lysaterkeurst, Uninvited
Take heart! While it may seem like you’ve reached a block in the road or suffered complete destruction, it’s not over yet. God is calling to you. He wants to refine you and take your hand, so you don’t have to walk through this darkness and trial alone! Call out to him; he’s listening! It won’t be a quick victory, but each step is one step further. Keep walking and be encouraged because Jesus/Yeshua is right there with you, coaxing you on and ready to share His wisdom with you!
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-11 NIV

DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT! 🤗 The enemy is on the prowl, looking for any opportunity to bring us down. As we grow closer to the Father, attacks from the enemy grow more intense. Rather than cowering at our newfound faith, Satan becomes even more determined to make us stumble or fall away from God. This morning, I read Psalm 37, I was encouraged by its words and promises. This powerful chapter that has become my new battle cry when it feels like the enemy has the upper hand, acting as though the victory is theirs! ⚔️ Though it seems like the wicked are strong and prospering in their work to destroy us, God remains steadfast at our side, ready to fight in our place. While the battles may seem too great for us to bear, God promises to hold us, not letting us stumble or fall. When we delight in the Father, trusting in Him for all things and worshipping him amid the trials, God will see our faithfulness! 🎚
Whatever form of warfare you’re going through, I pray that as you read Psalm 37, the Lord will speak encouragement into your life and show you that he is really with you. 💙
When we are weak, he is strong! We may be as small as David, but our God is greater than any Goliath attempting to come our way! 💪🏼 Today, I am declaring that Satan will NO LONGER bring disunity, hatred, anger, weakness, depression, or anything else not of God into my life! I’m slamming the door in his face, and though there will be moments where I stumble, I know that God’s hand is holding me, so I do not fall! Satan has no control over my life and will not ruin this day! The victory is God’s not his, and the faithful WILL prevail! 🤩
