Sweet Grace for Your Journey

The truth is found throughout scripture though. I matter to God. You matter to God. Every single person in this world, no matter who they are, matters to God. We all do.

Fear is a stronghold the devil loves to set up in us. This leads us to believe no one, not even God is there to protect us. In this episode, I share information about when I was sexually molested as a child. All that I went through led me to a stronghold that said I Must Self-Protect. I believed that until I realized that ONLY God is my protector and yours.

Several incidents have made me feel like a failure. These triggered thoughts like, “I am fat. I am nothing.” God, though, will never stop trying to get our attention. He knows for change to happen we must invite Him to do the work within us. This is a pivotal truth we must understand to walk in God’s abundance.

What do you do when God asks you to do the impossible? Especially if it’s something you’ve tried and tried to do but just couldn’t no matter how hard you tried? Do you throw in the towel and run screaming the other way? God showed me that He really is the God of the impossible. Let me tell you how it happened.

I don’t talk much about this leg of my journey because every time I do, people think they should make the same terribly bad decision I made. This is one of those times I feel I should put a warning on this podcast: DO NOT DO WHAT I DID. But it is important on my journey because of what it revealed to me.

When God reveals something He wants you to do that you know you don’t have the strength to do, what do you do? At first I rejected what He told me. I told Him it was a great plan but I couldn’t do it.

if I believe that Jesus is the truth, why for years did I base my life on a lie? It’s hard when we have to face the cold, hard facts of what we have done. I looked back over my life and saw that my entire life up to about 2009 had been based on a foundational lie that foods made with processed sugar and flour were necessary for my survival.

It’s vital that we don’t buy into lies that say God doesn’t care about us because something didn’t go the way we wanted it to. This morphs into a lie and then a full-blown stronghold. We need to work with God to break our strongholds and bring about His purposes in the world.

Do you feel stuck on your healthy living journey? Maybe you’re just getting started or you have lost weight and have gotten to a place where you just feel stuck and you want to give up. Maybe it seems impossible for you to go forward. And you just want to find out what is holding you back.
