[23] Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
Psalm 25:12 (HCSB) Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will show him the way he should choose.
My Journey to fight the spiritual warfare
Worldly Weapon - Policing – Always needed to be in control - Reacting – trying hard to cover my weakness by counter attacking - Internalizing – allowing my defectiveness to tell me that I am not good enough - Punitive & Shaming – Punishing others with words and actions - Covering – Clothing my self we false humility just to look good - Being Religious – just so that people would not see my struggles
Spiritual Weapon - Releasing – letting go and admitting my needs for God - Communicating and admitting - my weakness and for my need for others to help. - Humbling my self – Asking God to examine me and test my motives - Mourning – Letting others see my pain through vulnerability. - Standing – growing in my self esteem by looking to God - Going to War – Taking a stand to be righteous even though is no pleasant to go against Satan Scheme |
