“For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time of disaster and collapse.”

Proverbs 24:16 AMP

You ever feel discouraged, broken, defeated? You are not alone! The Good News is this: God is not a feeling, He is a spirit, and He has created us in His image and His likeness! :) 

That means, that we are a spirit first as well. 

 it is super important that we realize this truth, that we have feelings, but they are not the deciding factor! In other words, we don’t have to be, and shouldn’t be led by them.

Perhaps you already know this or maybe this is new to you, but we are spirit beings, we live in a body and we have a soul (a mind, will, and emotions).

Jesus said to the woman at the well, God is a spirit and those that worship Him, must worship Him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)

Jesus also taught that the Word of God is spirit and life. (John 6:63)

Again, Jesus said this about Himself in John 14:6, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life...”

What does all this mean exactly? It means that the way to grow spiritually and to ultimately know Him more is by feasting on the Word, on Jesus Himself! :) 

In John 1, Jesus is described as the Word,

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

John 1:1 KJV

Intimacy with Jesus through the Word of God is the key to overcoming anything life has to throw at us! 

In Christ,
