In the dark seasons

Hello.  It’s been a while.  I would love to say that I have overcome the battles with depression and disease, but my struggles still exists.  I am fully aware of the warfare that enemy is engaged in.  I am under attack.  The enemy is frightened by my potential and purpose in the Kingdom.  I know this, yet, this season remains.  I still have a sone steps to take on this journey.  Some demons that need to be defeated.  I stand here today declaring the truth. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed ( John 8:36).

I know what my emotions say, but I choose to stand on what God says especially now when it is so hard.  Before I began writing this blog today and I posted a declaration about faith on Facebook.  What my flesh wanted to do is point a light to my pain, but my Spirit led me to use my pain to aim the light where it should be, Christ!  His goodness,  His grace.  His mercy!

How I get through these days when the darkness is so thick is beyond me, but never beyond Him.  Thank You Lord for GRIT.  God Reaching In and Taking Over.  God bring my strength.  God capturing my tears.  God covering me under His loving wings.  I am learning a lot about faith through these trials and tribulations.  I learning what perseverance really means and how to walk or crawl if I have to.  One thing is sure.. I refuse to let go of His hand.  So, in reality no matter what it looks like I have already overcome through the power of Jesus.

Faith, trusting that the sun will come out again and until then you hold on tight to the Light that shines in the darkness.  Sometimes that means moving those boulders that try to keep you deep in a cave of pity and despair.  Faith is continuing to look for the cracks and crevices where His grace shines through. Faith is trusting what you cannot see when every emotion is screaming at you to do otherwise.  Faith is a gift from God.
