"Someone says: “Build, build! Make a road!

Clear the way, remove the rocks

from the road my people will travel.” (Isaiah 57:14)

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.” (Matt 11:28-30) Amp

Paul prays that we'd be rooted and grounded in the love of God for our lives.

'Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life.' (Ephesians 3:17) TPT

"And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit." (2 Cor 3:18)

....

Fully embrace God’s correction as part of your training, for he is doing what any loving father does for his children.

For who has ever heard of a child who never had to be corrected? We all should welcome God’s discipline as the validation of authentic sonship.

For if we have never once endured his correction it only proves we are strangers and not sons.

And isn’t it true that we respect our earthly fathers even though they corrected and disciplined us?

Then we should demonstrate an even greater respect for God, our spiritual Father, as we submit to his life-giving discipline.

Our parents corrected us for the short time of our childhood as it seemed good to them.

But God corrects us throughout our lives for our own good, giving us an invitation to share his holiness." (Heb 12:7-10) TPT

A trigger is something that causes or sets in motion an emotional reaction in our lives, reactions that can lead to stuck feelings, unhelpful thoughts or acting out behviours.

Every triggered part, however unpleasant, presents us an opportunity for growth.

Gaining awareness and learning to better deal with our triggered parts is key to better navigating our lives. Are you aware of those things that trigger you?

'He who receives and welcomes and accepts you receives and accepts Me, and he who receives and accepts Me receives and accepts Him Who sent Me.

He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

And whoever gives to one of these little ones [in rank or influence] even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward.'

(Matthew 10:40-42) Amp

Dear brothers & sisters, is your life full of difficulties and temptations?

Join us for part 5 of our series Unstuck, as we delve into the truth that makes us free 🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥❤️

....

"Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give andbequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]" (John 14:27) AMP

....

"In your patience possess ye your souls." (Luke 21:19) KJV

The Bible instructs us not to give the devil an opportunity to work in our lives.

This can be an area where we can be most stuck, because we don't live as if evil is even real.

C.S Lewis, an atheist before his change, wrote in his book Mere Christianity that;

"One of the things that surprised me when I first read the New Testament seriously was that it talked so much about a Dark Power in the universe—a mighty evil spirit who was held to be the Power behind death and disease, and sin. The difference is that Christianity thinks this Dark Power was created by God, and was good when he was created, and went wrong. Christianity agrees with Dualism that this universe is at war. But it does not think this is a war between independent powers. It thinks it is a civil war, a rebellion, and that we are living in a part of the universe occupied by the rebel.

Enemy-occupied territory—that is what this world is."

We live in enemy occupied territory and are charged to resist the enemy of our souls and not give him a place in our lives to immobilise us and steal, kill and destroy in our spiritual and mental lives and relationships.

Join us for part 4 of Unstuck as we unpack these important truths. 🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥❤️ “ you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”

....

"Be more afraid of Spirit-unrest, of soul-disturbance, of any ruffling of the Spirit, than of earthquake or fire or any outside forces.

When you feel the absolute calm has been broken — away alone with Me until your heart sings, and all is strong and calm.

These are the only times when evil can find an entrance. The forces of the evil surround the city of man-soul, and are keenly alert for one such unguarded spot, through which an arrow can pierce and do havoc." (God Calling; Feb 21st)

....

And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]. (Eph 4:27) AMP

....

"And when the devil had ended every [the complete cycle of] temptation, he [temporarily] left Him [that is, stood off from Him] until another more opportune andfavorable time." (Luke 4:13) AMP

....

"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." (James 3:16) KJV

How we interpret the situations of our lives can either empower us or sabotage and defeat us.

....

Misinterpreting the tests, difficulties and challenges we face can also lead to us falling into the trap of turning away from and blaming God.

....

Can we prevent this from happening and get a better perspective that makes it all turn around for our good?

Praying this weeks message brings Light that leads to life and truth that makes free. 🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️‍🔥🔥🙌🏻

....

"[Therefore beware] brethren, take care, lest there be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Him], leading you to turn away and desert or stand aloof from the living God.

But instead warn (admonish, urge, and encourage) one another every day, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [by the fraudulence, the stratagem, the trickery which the delusive glamour of his sin may play on him]." (Heb 3:12-13) AMP

....

'For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light. [John 4:10, 14.]' (Psalm 36:9) AMP

When we experience difficulties, relational conflict, disappointment and rejection, its inevitable to feel overwhelmed, uncertain and maybe even abandoned.

The temptation is to allow these trials to make us quit, to become bogged down and throw away our faith and confidence in God.

....

Do we have to allow the 'sifting' to crush us and incapacitate our hearts? Is there a way to stay unstuck and press through to find God's perspective? Listen in to this weeks message to find out truth that makes us free in this area 🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🔥🙏🏻

“Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift [all of] you like grain; but I have prayed [especially] for you [Peter], that your faith [and confidence in Me] may not fail; and you, once you have turned back again [to Me], strengthen and support your brothers [in the faith].” (Luke 22:31-32) Amp

"Be angry [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]." (Eph 4:26-27) AMP

Martha and Mary

"Now while they were on their way, Jesus entered a village [called Bethany], and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at the Lord’s feet and was continually listening to His teaching. But Martha was very busy and distracted with all of her serving responsibilities; and she approached Him and said, “Lord, is it of no concern to You that my sister has left me to do the serving alone? Tell her to help me and do her part.” But the Lord replied to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered and anxious about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part [that which is to her advantage], which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38-42) Amp
