IBS- HEBREWS 6:12
“That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

Just like most- I struggle with depression or some form of regret and just have those down moments or days if you allow it to take control of you- which I have many of times. I never really gave it to God I just let my thoughts take captive of me- which now I see builds up walls and digs deeper into me. It’s a never-ending battle and it doesn’t go away even after you are saved. You could be the best of and at everything and still have those days of feeling as though the whole world is against you even the people you thought loved you the most. But God. I have had some of those days here since I’ve been in Montana and at first, I was allowing it to get to me- coming up with all these conclusions and self-pity scenarios but then I stopped myself. I stopped and asked God to just bring me to a complete peace about the subject matter and that He would take away all those thoughts that had me becoming very “sluggish” in the way I walked, my attitude towards work and people around me, and where my heart was at. It wasn’t easy let me tell you but once I really did just give it to Him I could finally breath- I could look and be at peace knowing God already defeated death and just like He healed the blind and forgave the adulterous woman He gave me light and carried me through and out of my self-demining- prideful- self-pity- self. But on that note- it honestly wouldn’t have been possible to get out of the state I was in without watching and asking for help with the God seeking people around me here at PFM. At home I had some but I felt as though they would judge me, but I now know that is how the devil got to me for so long. There was really two people out of all of NY state that I felt as though I could talk to and bring my faults and heartaches to the surface- but they were never around- and that just happened because of life- it happens. We all get consumed with life-work-family-people in general.

IBS- PHILIPPIANS 3:8 “Yet indeed I also count all thigs loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” I am reminded of the Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” To hold onto the things of this world only hinders you. Your relationship with Christ Jesus, your walk, your mornings, and your everyday life. To gain the whole world but lose your soul is gaining nothing. To fight for anything of this world is going to get me nowhere if not led by the Lord. I have held on to so many things of this world, it has bonded me and there is a weight on my shoulders because of it. When I try to gain the whole world- I lose myself. I feel caught in a net with no way out. I can see the good in God, but I am to twisted and wrapped up in the ways of me that I can not figure out the way out. In Christ I have no bondage I have no net. To gain knowledge

IBS- MARK 10:46-52 “ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” then many warned him to be quite; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” so Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garments, he rose and came to Jesus. So, Jesus answered and said to him “What do you want Me to do for you?” the blind man said to Him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”   I relate to Bart in the sense of begging for Jesus to come back into my life and forgiving me once again for my sin

Colossians 3:23 “And whatever you do, do good work hardily as for the Lord and not to men.” Christians often talk about working for God, going on a mission’s trip for God, doing the ministry for God. Its good to talk that way. It’s biblical. We are promised that through Christ we will “bear fruit for God” and we are called to “work heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.” So, we should do things for God. But what does that mean? Sometimes when we talk about doing something for someone, we mean that we are going to meet their needs. So, if we talked about doing something for the poor, we mean we are going to meet the needs of the poor. But is that what we mean when we talk about doing things for God? When the Bible calls us to do things for God, is it calling us to meet God’s needs? That’s impossible, because God has no needs. Acts 17:24-25, “The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served b
