Pensamento fedorento: Pensamentos negativos

Pensamento fedorento: Pensamentos negativos

Pensamento fedorento: Pensamentos negativos

por Toni Weisz/Stinking Thinking

Escrituras: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 e Filipenses 4:8-9

O pensamento fedorento se refere aos pensamentos negativos que nos atormentam, especialmente quando estamos HALT (Hsem raiva, UMAcom raiva, euapenas ou Tirado) Isso nos leva a ter uma visão distorcida de Deus, auto, Pensamento negativo, justificação, medo, e ansiedade. Abordaremos cada um desses tópicos para que possamos discernir entre as mentiras em que acreditamos ao longo dos anos e substituí-las pela verdade de Deus. Nosso objetivo é equipá-lo para que possa ter vitória nessas áreas.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NVI
“Pois embora andemos na carne, Não temos guerra de acordo com a carne. Pois as armas de nossa guerra não são carnais, mas poderosas através de Deus por derrubar fortalezas, lançando argumentos e tudo o que se exalta acima do conhecimento de Deus, Sexendo todos os pensamentos em cativeiro à obediência de Cristo. ”

Filipenses 4:8-9 NVI
"Finalmente, Irmãos, o que quer que seja verdade, Quaisquer que sejam as coisas honestas, Quaisquer que sejam as coisas apenas, Quaisquer que sejam as coisas puras, Quaisquer que sejam as coisas adoráveis, Quaisquer que sejam as coisas de um bom relatório, Se houver alguma virtude e se houver algo louvável, Medite sobre essas coisas. As coisas que você aprendeu e recebeu, e ouvi e vi em mim, estes fazem, E o Deus da paz estará com. ”

Todos nós conhecemos uma pessoa que pode sugar todo o ar de uma sala porque cada palavra que sai da boca é negativa. Você já experimentou isso antes? É emocionalmente desgastante estar na companhia de uma pessoa negativa por um longo período de tempo antes de também sermos arrastados para o poço com eles. Você está atormentado por pensamentos negativos?

O inimigo está continuamente tentando nos viajar porque seu objetivo é nos fazer focar nas coisas negativas em vez de todas as coisas pelas quais devemos ser gratos. Você tem uma lista de gratidão? Se você não, Eu sugiro que você faça um hoje, e escreva todas as coisas pelas quais você é grato. Quando você sente um pensamento negativo chegando, Basta sair da sua lista e lembrar -se que Deus ainda está no trono e está no controle e ele está ciente de tudo o que está acontecendo no mundo. Ele usa tudo isso para seu propósito e planos em todas as nossas vidas. Devemos lembrar que Deus é bom o tempo todo e Ele é amor; Esse é o seu personagem. Ele nunca muda. Ele é o mesmo ontem, hoje, e para sempre.

O campo de batalha é realmente a mente. TO chapéu é onde começa a guerra espiritual, E é aí que temos a opção de aceitar ou não. Agora mesmo, Há ódio e limpeza étnica em certas partes do mundo, Guerras e devastação devido a terremotos, incêndios, lâminas de lama. Mqualquer um tem medo, em desespero, e me sentindo sem esperança. But como crentes, Precisamos procurar ainda mais o Senhor agora, então temos sua perspectiva sobre isso. No que você está se concentrando agora? Você se sente pacífico, esperançoso ou deprimido e sem esperança?

Tenho uma lista de verdades bíblicas que li todas as manhãs para me lembrar que sou adotado e amado por Deus. É assim que eu coloco minha armadura para me proteger dos dardos ardentes do inimigo.

Quem eu sou em Cristo, para combater a rejeição

Eu sou digno.
Eu sou amado.
Eu sou aceito.
Eu sou adotado.
Estou confiante e competente.
Eu sou um filho de Deus.
Eu tenho o Espírito Santo dentro de mim.
Eu sou vitorioso em Cristo.
Sou perdoado por todos os meus pecados e limpo de toda a minha injustiça.
Eu tenho um lar no céu.
Nada pode me separar do amor de Deus em Cristo Jesus, Meu Senhor.
Eu sou valorizado por Deus.
Eu sou seu filho precioso.
Não vou temer o mal!

Quando eu leio isso todas as manhãs, Isso protege minha mente e meu coração das mentiras e pensamentos negativos em que o inimigo quer que eu me concentre. Quando não leio minha lista diariamente, Estou vulnerável aos dispositivos do inimigo; Estou impaciente, cruel, auto-justificado, julgamento, e facilmente frustrado.

senhor, Você está me mostrando que hoje, na verdade, Devo reservar um tempo com você todas as manhãs; Você é minha prioridade. REading sua palavra diariamente é comida para minha alma. PRaying é um momento para eu ouvir de ouvir de Sou para falar com Sou. JNossa mora é uma época em que eu mais vou mais com você, buscando Snossa sabedoria e querer muito ouvir Svocê me liderar e me guiar na minha vida e em tudo o que faço porque quero que minha vida seja agradável a Sou, E eu quero Svocê ser glorificado através dele. Obrigada, senhor, por me lembrar e me condenar disso hoje.

Pai no céu, Eu oro por cada mulher lendo este blog. Eu rezo para que eles procurem Sou com todo o coração. Mostre a eles quanto Svocê os amo de uma maneira muito real e tangível. Proteja -os das mentiras e pensamentos negativos do inimigo, e ajude -os a se concentrar nas coisas que são verdadeiras, honesto, apenas, puro, amável, e de bom relatório. Renove suas mentes diariamente enquanto lêem sua palavra. Curá -los e amarrar suas feridas como somente você pode, para SSomente o poderoso conselheiro e um ótimo médico. Encontre -os onde eles estão e lidere com sua mão direita justa. Perdoe todos os seus pecados e cure -os, senhor. Obrigado pelo seu amor, misericórdia, graça, e compaixão sobre eles. Oramos isso no nome poderoso de Jesus. Amém.

MY Wall—My Prison (Part Two)

MY Wall—My Prison (Part Two)

My Wall-My Prison (Part Two)

When Is it Safe to Let the Wall Down?

In Part 1, My Wall-My Prison, we talked about the walls we built around ourselves as children to protect us from others and how these walls became our prisons. We found ourselves cut off from everyone, alone and tormented by the enemy. So how do we start taking the walls down and feeling safe to share what we have been hiding all these years?

Primeiro, a relationship with God is extremely important. To have this relationship, the Bible says we must be born again. We become born again or saved when we ask God to forgive our sins through confession (Romanos 10:9) and repentance, which means turning away from our sins and turning to God (Lucas 5:32). We must also believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God who died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3–4, Romanos 10:13). We then receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth. He gives us the power to understand Scripture (John 14:17), convicts us of sin (John 16:8), and is our comforter, constant companion, and friend (John 14:16). It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that God connects with us in a deep and intimate way, making us a family.

My life changed dramatically when I finally received the love of God in my heart. I knew Jesus loved me, but I didn’t feel loved. I still believed the lies that I was unworthy to be loved by God, or anyone else for that matter, because of all my sins, especially my abortion. When the truth finally penetrated my heart, I was forever changed. I realized I was a child of God who was adopted into His family. He would never leave me nor forsake me. I was His, and I was bought by His precious blood on the cross for my sins. I am loved by God just the way I am. I am so grateful for this truth.

Segundo, I believe being in a Christ-centered community is critical for our healing. In this community, the Word of God is used along with the power of the Holy Spirit. Prayer and recovery tools are also used in this loving environment, creating a safe place to share.

I believe abortion breaks the very soul of a women into a million pieces. Those pieces, created by the trauma of having an abortion, can only be picked up and put back together by Jesus. We were designed by God to love, protect, and nurture our children; we did the opposite. This group is a safe place to share our hearts and our hurts without judgment or condemnation.

Lastly, it is okay to still be protected from people who are unsafe emotionally and/or physically. God does not want His daughters abused. As God heals you and you become more confident, He will lead you to start sharing with those with whom you feel safe. This group is a good place to start sharing within a safe and loving community to build your confidence.

Healthy boundaries are necessary to keep us safe so we can have more fulfilling and meaningful relationships with others. On the other hand, holding on to secrets is not a good way to have deep and meaningful relationships. When you feel safe to do so, share your secrets so you can be set free, giving the enemy nothing to hold against you.

Perguntas

  1. Are you ready to let your wall down to let God in so you can receive the love and the help you need?
  2. Who are you praying about sharing your past with? Do you have a healthy relationship with this person? It’s okay to keep yourself protected, but do not allow the enemy to isolate you or put you back into the prison.

Você é amado,

As pedras tumulares: Lembrando que Deus tem feito

As pedras tumulares: Lembrando que Deus tem feito

We see several times in Scripture that God commanded the children of Israel to set up a memorial of remembrance for what He had done for them. These memorials were to be shared with future generations so they could see what God had done for them. I believe it is important for us to look back as well, to see where we’ve come from and remember what the Lord has done for us.

Think back to a time before you knew the Lord. When you were walking in the way of this world and living your life for yourself and your own selfish desires.

What did your life look like before Christ? Tell others the wonderous and amazing things that God has done for you. There is power in your testimony. I pray God leads you to share this with others.

When I was 12 anos, I decided the, “good quiet” persona was not working for me. I was not getting the attention that I longed for. então, I decided to take another path, one that would lead to self-loathing, addiction, and destruction. I was blinded and unaware of the evil that I would do to myself and to others. My unhealthy destructive choices would only intensify with age and become more and more grievous as I plunged headlong into drug and alcohol usage, promiscuity, smoking, and ultimately an abortion.

I just wanted to be loved, but instead I was used and abused and did the same to others. I would continue on this self-destructive path until I was 34 anos. Then, one day in January 1994 in a small Baptist Church, I heard the gospel for the first time: Jesus was born of a virgin, viveu uma vida sem pecado, was crucified on the cross for my sins and the sins of the whole world, was buried and rose again on the third day and ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. It was His love for me and you that kept Him nailed to that cross. (1 Corinthians 15:3-6, Acts 1:9, Romanos 8:34)

I don’t deserve His love, but it is the sweetest gift I have ever been given. I have been forgiven from my sin debt and I have been set free to live the life He created me to live. I am so humbled and grateful to Jesus for His work and for my relationship with Him. I am a new creation in Christ; old things are passed away, contemplar, the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Eu tenho uma nova vida, um novo propósito, and a new song in my heart thanks to Jesus.

Joshua 4:1-7

“And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying: “Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe, and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests’ feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where you lodge tonight.’” Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from every tribe; and Joshua said to them: “Cross over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’ Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.”

In His love and service,

É preciso coragem para ser curado

É preciso coragem para ser curado

John 8:1-11, Romanos 3:23, John 13:34-35, and Joshua 1:9

Why do only a few women come forward for abortion recovery healing? The statistics tell us 4 out of 10 women sitting in our churches have had at least one abortion between the ages of 18-45? What is keeping them silent? Dentro 2015, Care Net and Lifeway Research conducted a study on abortion in the church. Their research found that fear of condemnation and judgment, were the most cited reasons why women remained silent regarding their unexpected pregnancy or abortion. That is so wrong, and I repent of that sin right now. senhor, if I have not been loving or supportive of another in my past, I pray you forgive me.

I saw this type of judgement on the faces of other believers when I shared my abortion and announced my calling to this ministry. The look of, “How could you!” was very obvious. I immediately thought of the verse in John 8, “You who are without sin cast the first stone.” I know my sin of abortion is very grievous, but in God’s eyes all sin is destructive and we are to show grace towards others just as God through Christ showed us grace and mercy. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romanos 3:23)

When I think about the judgment of others, especially those in the church, I think of the story in the Bible about the woman who was caught in adultery and brought before Jesus. Dentro John 8:1-11, we read that religious leaders brought this woman before Jesus and told Him to condemn her because she was caught in the very act. Where was the man she was committing adultery with? He was nowhere to be found, was she alone caught in the act? The religious leaders threw her at Jesus’ feet for Him to condemn her publicly. I love Jesus’ words here, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Then slowly, from the oldest to the youngest, they walked away feeling convicted in their own hearts. Then Jesus says to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go e sin no more.”

The church is supposed to be the very place people can go to receive help, love, compassion, and care, not condemnation, judgment, and a cold shoulder. We, the Church, are called to minister to all people. God is not a respecter of persons (preferring one over another), therefore, we shouldn’t be either. God commands us to love one another. Dentro John 13: 34-35, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I thank God for each and every one of you who are reading this blog. I know how much courage it takes to step out of the darkness and face the fear of judgment and condemnation in order to be healed by Jesus. I am reminded of God’s words to Joshua when he took over leading the children of Israel for Moses. Dentro Joshua 1: 9, God said, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the senhor your God is with you wherever you go.”

God is with you dear one. Would you trust Him today to lead you into a deeper relationship with Him so He can heal you? He is waiting for you to step out of the darkness into His glorious, healing light. You will not regret this decision.

Bênçãos,

Toni

O Senhor irá equipá-lo para a sua chamada

O Senhor irá equipá-lo para a sua chamada

1st Samuel 17:28, 1st Corinthians 15:58, e Filipenses 1:3-6

In 1st Samuel 17, prior to fighting Goliath, David has an encounter with his older brother Eliab. Eliab accuses David of being in sin and being prideful. In 1st Samuel 17:28 nós lemos, “Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.”

Many around David, even his own family, tried to discourage him from fighting the giant because of their fears and their lack of trust and confidence in the Lord. The enemy was also at work in this situation, trying to prevent David from obeying the calling God had placed on his life.

Opposition to your calling will sometimes come from your own family and closest friends. It happened to me when I started on my abortion healing journey, back in January 2006. It was Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, and I was sitting in my Sunday School class. The Holy Spirit said to me, “I want you to help other women feel forgiven for their past abortions.” People closest to me said, “You shouldn’t do it because you are not suited for it; you should be working with children instead,” or “It’s too hard for you, and you will not be able to handle all the sorrow and pain associated with abortion.”

então, I did nothing for a few weeks. Shortly thereafter, my Pastor preached on obedience. When I heard this sermon, there was no denying the pull God had on my heart. I had to do this. I went back to that person who had doubted my calling and abilities and said, “You don’t understand, God is calling me to do this and I must obey Him.”

How can we apply this to our lives? Primeiro, we must be prepared for many around us, even our own family members, to disagree with our calling. They may cause you to doubt whether you have truly heard from God or not. Many will try to prevent you from fulfilling your God-given calling on your life. They will say, “Are you sure that’s what God is leading you to do?” The enemy will throw everything at you to trip you up, so you do not fulfill your God-given destiny. Your destiny or calling is not something you choose. God is the one who calls you, and He is the one who will equip you for it. In 1st Corinthians 15:58, it says, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not vain in the Lord.”

You are courageous women of God and I want you to be encouraged. God will equip you for the battle you will face in your ministry. God will prepare you for every good work. Keep your eyes on Jesus and He will lead you, protect you, provide for you, and guide you, all the days of your life.

I would like to pray this prayer over you:

Filipenses 1:3-6

“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;”

Follow the Lord’s leading, querido; He can be trusted. He will always lead you to walk on the path of truth, life, and peace.

Reach out today if you need prayer or a word of encouragement. — Toni
