Feeling overwhelmed

Dear Lost Soul,

It's very hard...feeling overwhelmed, lost with no hope.  I'm sorry you're going thru this.  It must feel very lonely to not know your purpose in life.  Honestly, I'm not trying to sound cliché, but the answer is to turn your eyes to Jesus.  Our purpose, hope, identity and comfort is found in Him.  The plans and purpose He has for you will be made clear as you spend time with Him in His word.  Be careful to not get attached to one teacher or teaching style.. that's a deep pit.  Attach yourself to Jesus and His word, His promises.  Do this thru fellowship (in person), study and prayer.  I'm not saying you shouldn't read other books or teachings, of course that's okay to do, but don't elevate them to a status that they don't deserve.  People's interpretations of scripture can sometimes be incorrect.  There are some 'name it and claim it' teachers who end up throwing out loads of condemnation possibly without realizing what they are doing.  Be careful to avoid these things.

God still heals, He healed me of different things, but some He did not.  God delivers us from difficulties too, but sometimes He simply wants us to learn the value of His presence while we walk thru difficulties. 

The best advice I can give from experience is....Don't seek the healing, seek the Healer! 

Psalm 37

1Don’t worry about the wicked

or envy those who do wrong.

2For like grass, they soon fade away.

Like spring flowers, they soon wither.

3Trust in the Lord and do good.

Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.

4Take delight in the Lord,

and he will give you your heart’s desires.

5Commit everything you do to the Lord.

Trust him, and he will help you.

6He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,

and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

7Be still in the presence of the Lord,

and wait patiently for him to act.

Don’t worry about evil people who prosper

or fret about their wicked schemes.

8Stop being angry!

Turn from your rage!

Do not lose your temper—

it only leads to harm.

9For the wicked will be destroyed,

but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.

10Soon the wicked will disappear.

Though you look for them, they will be gone.

11The lowly will possess the land

and will live in peace and prosperity.

12The wicked plot against the godly;

they snarl at them in defiance.

13But the Lord just laughs,

for he sees their day of judgment coming.

14The wicked draw their swords

and string their bows

to kill the poor and the oppressed,

to slaughter those who do right.

15But their swords will stab their own hearts,

and their bows will be broken.

16It is better to be godly and have little

than to be evil and rich.

17For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,

but the Lord takes care of the godly.

18Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent,

and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever.

19They will not be disgraced in hard times;

even in famine they will have more than enough.

20But the wicked will die.

The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field—

they will disappear like smoke.

21The wicked borrow and never repay,

but the godly are generous givers.

22Those the Lord blesses will possess the land,

but those he curses will die.

23The Lord directs the steps of the godly.

He delights in every detail of their lives.

24Though they stumble, they will never fall,

for the Lord holds them by the hand.

25Once I was young, and now I am old.

Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned

or their children begging for bread.

26The godly always give generous loans to others,

and their children are a blessing.

27Turn from evil and do good,

and you will live in the land forever.

28For the Lord loves justice,

and he will never abandon the godly.

He will keep them safe forever,

but the children of the wicked will die.

29The godly will possess the land

and will live there forever.

30The godly offer good counsel;

they teach right from wrong.

31They have made God’s law their own,

so they will never slip from his path.

32The wicked wait in ambush for the godly,

looking for an excuse to kill them.

33But the Lord will not let the wicked succeed

or let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial.

34Put your hope in the Lord.

Travel steadily along his path.

He will honor you by giving you the land.

You will see the wicked destroyed.

35I have seen wicked and ruthless people

flourishing like a tree in its native soil.

36But when I looked again, they were gone!

Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

37Look at those who are honest and good,

for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.

38But the rebellious will be destroyed;

they have no future.

39The Lord rescues the godly;

he is their fortress in times of trouble.

40The Lord helps them,

rescuing them from the wicked.

He saves them,

and they find shelter in him.

Hello,

Hope you are doing better. Just wanted to encourage you – it probably will get harder before it gets easier, but rest assured, it does get easier. Once I decided the Word of God was true (by His stripes I was healed 1Peter 2:24), I started my battle to regain my health. The first month I got a lot worse and I lost more battles than I won, but by the second month, the more I stood, the more victories I began to see and now I can truly say I am healed!

I trusted in God alone and He is always faithful. The greatest battle is in our minds, that’s why it’s so important to renew our minds daily with God’s Word, reading and thinking about the Word, confessing God’s Word out loud, doing the Word, listening to encouraging messages - which is why I listen to Curry constantly.

So don’t give up, stay in the fight. Let the Word of God speak louder than the devil! Stay in the Word and remain in Christ at all times.

Be Blessed!

Dave

Hello,

We all have our good and bad days for sure. Most of us are probably financially burdened, but I know it will help to take your focus off your financial situation for a while and focus on your relationship with God.

It’s probably not what you want to hear right now, but from experience, it is the only way. Through listening to Curry Blake’s New Man & DHT training, I’ve come to realise we have to give ourselves totally to God - body, soul and spirit. Renew our minds daily, read the bible, do the bible. It is hard at first, but becomes easier the more you do it. When we are surrounded by troubles, it’s hard to remember why we are here and to stay focused, which is why the devil does it. As followers of Christ, we all have one common purpose - to advance God’s Kingdom and enforce the victory of Jesus over the kingdom of darkness. Speak the Words of God, what you say comes to pass. Know who you are in Christ

Here are some keys taken from Curry Blake’s Kingdom Finance:

1. Tell God what you need not man.

2. Have faith in God not man.

3. Go the hardest path.

4 Find out what God wants and get it done.

5. Let blessings overtake you, don’t chase them.

6. Expect nothing from man.

7. Always operate out of a gratitude and not compulsion or fear.

8. Focus on God and people, not things and finances.

9. Give, don’t lend.

10. Be a river, not a dam. Let whatever comes in flow out again.

11. Realise everything you own belongs to Christ.

12. Where your mind is, there your heart will be also.

 

Stay in the fight!
