Josie's Journey of Faith

  Isaiah 3: 8-11  🩷🩷🩷  God Gave me a bunch verses in my mind ( I had more written, but I only felt compelled to share this one.) In this verse it's talking about a people not obeying the Lord and mocking Him.  They're in love with their sin and are very proud of it, basically laughing at the idea of needing to repent.  Since they feel absolutely no conviction about anything, at all. ..  It goes on to say "They have brought destruction on themselves."  Then He went on to talk about how the Godly will be very well off and they earned the reward they're receiving.  This just kinda hits different, it is pretty heavy. Real. Serious, God really hates sin, because it hurts His people and causes the world to be the way the world is because of the sinful nature & our free will, but our free will is a sign of Gods grace, true loving kindness and sincerity of character, God wants our hearts If there was no free will, we would all be like robots,...

The moment everything started to begin,  it was heavy and I wasn’t sure where I was headed  but I knew the one who was in control  of the waves of the sea  All my life I had fought against who I knew I was supposed to be  Yet I ran away out of fear, opinions, rejection & crippling anxiety  On the darkest night, when I couldn’t breathe I encountered a light that made the darkness flee  I was drowning, thinking what is the point of anything,  Yet through all my brokenness  ignited a hope that changed the course of my entire life, - eternally I didn’t know it yet, but it helped me keep going.  I look back to this & think Why did I ever run?  Why did I ever wait?  Why did I fight against true love Did I believe in freedom ?  Could I really be set free from all of my burdens & chains?  How did I not know?  How could I not see?  The constant pure & holy pursuing love that always was fighting for me...

   I decided to share this message today because i've been in a season of stagnancy (isolation)  and honestly depression. W hich is a LIE from the enemy and not from God, It has no authority. - ( B e careful because that is a tactic of the enemy, yes Jesus sometimes calls us in seasons where it's just us and him but that doesn't mean stay isolated and cut yourself off completely from the world, still go out there, spend time with family, loved ones, go out for coffee and bible studies with your friends and stay in connection with community.) ( trust, also it's okay to ask for prayers, don't be shy!  )  (if you need prayer feel free to email)  beyondblessingsblogs@gmail.com  or   Eagle Brooks website is a prayer option (anonymous is available if needed, I will link that as well):  https://www.eaglebrookchurch.com/prayer/   So, if you happen to be in a similar place or have been here before, rest in the fact God will pull you through and r...
