Lies Women Believe and....

The Truth that sets us free....(this is what God taught me during my time of healing)

Galatians 5:1 "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."

Lies I Believed:

• God doesn't love me because my marriage is failing
• God should fix my marriage
• I'm not worth anything to my husband or anyone else
• I have my rights, don't I?
• God wouldn't have let me suffer the things I've endured in my life and in this marriage
• I don't have enough hours in the day to do everything I need to accomplish
• That my job/career is required
• Divorce is better than staying in a bad marriage
• I should be able to change him
• All children go through a rebellious stage
• It is up to us to determine how many children we have

Amazing how many lies us women can believe about our lives, our children, our marriages, and our careers isn't it? I read "Lies Women Believe & the Truth that sets them free" by: Nancy Leigh DeMoss. I highly recommend this book for any of you ladies struggling in your marriages, your job/careers, or life in general.

Now let me share some verses that helped me move beyond the "pity me party" and into a state of being where GOD brings me into line with His way of thinking and doing things.

Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (His way is easier!!!)

James 5:19-20 "If one of you should wander from the truth and someone bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."

• Psalm 119:68, Psalm 136:1 (God is good)
• Romans 8:32, Romans 8:38-39 (God loves me and wants me to have His best)
• Ephesians 1:4-6 (I am complete and accepted)
• Psalm 23:1 (God is enough)
• Isaiah 28:16 (God can be trusted)
• Isaiah 46:10 (God doesn't make mistakes)
• 2 Corinthians 12:9 (Gods grace is sufficient for me)
• 1 John 1:7 (The blood of Christ is sufficient to cover all my sins)
• Romans 6:6-7 (The cross of Christ is sufficient to conquer my sinful flesh)
• 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (My past does not have to plague me)
• Psalm 19:7, Psalm 119:105 (Gods word is sufficient to lead me)
• Philippians 2:13 (God works in you)

3 Things You Can Do to Remove the Lies from Your Life:

• Identify the areas of your sinful behavior
• Identify the lies at the root of that sinful behavior
• Replace each of these lies with Truth (Gods Word)

A Little Change To Things

Hello All,

I've not written much this past year so please accept my apologies as I reconnect with my Savior. He is amazing!!

There are a few small changes to my blog:

The color scheme is different again as when I checked it a few weeks back I noticed some of my stuff was not up so hope you enjoy the new look.

To the right you will find all the links to my pages as well as to some of my family's and just some cool blogs and sites I enjoy following which belong to friends, pastor's and such.

I hope you will all keep me in your prayers as I am still in a huge spiritual battle right now...last year I nearly lost myself to the enemy and allowed my hurt and anger and confusion inside my marriage pull me away from God. I am so thankful that HE chose to stick to me like glue even as I floundered around asking what on earth is going on.

Stay tuned as starting soon I will be continuing to post to my blog pages and share what my Almighty Savior has shared with me, shown me and impressed upon my heart.

God Bless to all
Cindy

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. If your reading this let me first say, this blog is my own studies, my own beliefs in God, in Christ, in my Creator and my world surrounding me.I won't push my beliefs off on you, nor will I argue my point. If you want to debate with me, ask me questions or just share your own thoughts and beliefs..I'm game. Over the years I have read the bible cover to cover, studied it, memorized verses, researched the truth of it, some of it I am still researching and still seeking answers for certain things in the bible. Yes, the bible was physically written by men...but I believe that GOD is the instigator behind it all and getting His Word out to His people.But let me say all in all, I believe in GOD. HE is my creator, my father, my comforter, my joy and my peace and so much more. He gave me life and he will take it away someday. I do believe Christ was not only a man but the living son of GOD, who came to earth to not only save us, but to be with us, and to teach us. Someday I hope to look into His eyes and tell Him that I do love Him, and my faith and belief in Him are what keep me going, trying to be what He wants me to be. I hope you enjoy my writings on my research, and my studies

4 Stepping Stones - WDJD

WDJD = What Did Jesus Do? Ever asked yourself this question? Well I have been asking it for awhile now and reading alot on it.

W = Would you consider yourself a good person?
D = Do you think you've kept all 10 Commandments, Laws and Decrees GOD gave us?
J = On Judgement Day if GOD judges you with HIS law will you be found innocent or guilty?
D = Destiny "Will you go to Heaven or Hell?"

We are all called to save the lost by bringing them to Christ, but first we really should get to know them and become a part of their lives, not just a silent person who nods or says Hi once in awhile but to truly know the real person. Be a good neighbor first, invite them to dinner. Share your back deck for a great conversation spot. Bake them cookies!! Then as your relationship blooms into friendship and those delightful evenings spent hanging out in the lawn chairs or on your back decks turn into conversations...well just let the Spirit lead you in questions to chat about. Just remember to be humble in your approach (no rude tones) with the right attitude..one that glorifies GOD and not yourself.

Afterall, we are here to bring others to Christ....not chase them away with heated words, anger, and self-righteousness.

A good book to read is "Way of the Master" by Ray Comfort. Check out this website too: http://www.wayofthemaster.com and also check out: www.livingwaters.com

Lord, give me the humbleness in spirit and the courage to approach others. In Christs Name, Amen
