God whispers in your spirit, dreams and promises of what you can become. The enemy will try to drown them out. He’ll use people to try to discourage you. No matter how loud they are, don’t let them talk you out of what God has whispered in your spirit. The scripture talks about the secret petitions of your heart. That’s the dreams God gives you, the promises that you haven’t told anyone. It seems too far out, like it could never happen. That’s God speaking to you. His dream for your life is so much bigger than your own.
I really appreciate this today. I'm not struggling with my inward faith but struggling with my outward faith. I don't like to be restrainined and in my workplace and in some personal settings I have to keep my faith to myself and I'm struggling with finding a balance there. I never want to be quiet about how much I love Jesus and I feel like that's just the devil winning if I have to be quiet. I really need help on this.
We're so grateful for your passion to reach people for Jesus! It often requires discernment and intentionality. Ask God for opportunities and then step into them. It may just be offering to pray for someone or writing a Bible verse on a post-it note at your desk. God can use you in a unique way right where you are!
*GOD is saying to you today;"I know that you feel stressed out at times. I don't blame you, life can be hard, life can be challenging, & life can be overwhelm us.However,when you're in a season of trouble, I want you surrendered it all to ME.I will take care of you."*
And so what happens when you discover that what you believed was true, actually isn't? If you had been taught and even found confirmation but later find new evidence that contradicts everything you've been taught and knew? I'd often felt like I was faking it to make it, sometimes more than other times, and sometimes not at all. But the doubts never went away and exposure to evidence coming from outside of Christian p.o.v's grew the doubts. I had always had skepticism, but it was realizing a few years ago that I was just going thru the motions. I wanted to believe. I prayed for my belief. I realized as well in part that I'd largely stayed a Christian because of expectation. Familial and peer/community. And so I came to a point where I realized I am my own person and any belief I have shouldn't rest on expectation. And the stress about my doubts came crashing down. The tangible evidence that the Bible is just another man-made book, and Judaism and Christianity just another man-made religion clicked. And accepting to myself that I was no longer a Christian felt like such a relief. I lived in a state of doubt and stress for decades as an avowed Christian. Everything preachers, the Bible, apologists, and Christian books just felt either like temporary balms or pathetic excuses and reasons. My doubts were never fully assuaged. How did the Bible come about? Why did people write what they wrote? How does it compare to other writings from the same period? Is there anything like Biblical passages? As a student and lover of history, of anthropology, the Bible just falls apart as an inspired book. The more I learned, the more I saw the hallmarks of a wholly man-made effort. There was so much more, but the problems with historicity and veracity of the Bible as a truthful work, truly infallible and inerrant, played a major part in why I stopped believing. My hope is that more people figure the same things I realized and conclude that it's okay and good to stop believing that Christianity is true. And according to research about belief, more people are walking away from Christianity and will continue to do so.

Legalism vs Christianity? God gave us a brain to use for reason and ask questions. Something’s we are not able to understand and need faith given from God. Other things we can research and seek and learn the answers!

Life is so hard! The other side of "them pearly gates" sounds so far away some days! (Don't take that wrong...)
Yes, it can be tough, which is why there's good reason to be thankful for God's grace and faithfulness!
It is not about getting others to believe in your religion, but about believing in our God! WWJD? Is still alive and valid today!
