In recent weeks, I have experienced ministering by the Holy Spirit to mine. With attending the Holy Spirit workshop. While attending the Abide Women's Conference. Within my interview with Sister Dulci and during the Adoration nights I've attended at our church, Holy Cross. And of course, every moment in between, He has been whittling away at my soul, fashioning me into who He would have me. Fabulous, marvelous, exciting stuff! Then why do I feel like I'm in a funk. Why do I feel sad?
I believe that whenever I begin to make real progress spiritually, the devil attacks. He can't have us draw closer to God. He can't have us be in intimate relationship with Jesus.. He will begin to sow seeds of doubt. Doubt about ourselves, doubt about others, and doubt about how God sees us. We aren't really lovable. Others really don't love us. God definitely can't possibly love a sinner like me.
In the encounters with the Holy Spirit, He has told me otherwise. He has shown me how much He loves me and how desperately He desires to heal me and make me whole and holy. He is directing me down the path He has chosen for me. The other day Sister Dulci told me things about myself that I find hard to accept. Ways that I don't see myself. But I want to believe that Poppa sees me that way and that I shouldn't listen to the doubts and the fears of not measuring up. The questioning about I will be able to handle whatever it is He has planned for me to do. However, I know that the bible says that whatever He brings you to, He will equip you for. So I just have to trust!
Whatever negative thoughts, self-talk, voices from the past you have going on, don't listen! Those are just lies used to keep you from feeling worthy, feeling able, feeling loved. You are chosen. He does love you. He has equipped you with the gifts you need to accomplish His purpose for your life. He has given you the Holy Spirit to be with you every step of the way! Believe in Him! Trust in Him!
