Practice Being You

 I think it is a very good idea for us to forget who we are and allow ourselves to live as we were created to be.  Many of us know that we are living our lives terribly below the  required spiritual standard.  This knowledge too often is shoved to the back of our minds because the crowd demands of us to blend in.

For many of us it is a challenge to blend in with the crowd and the new thing that is happening in the world around us.  It is a challenge because we know better and when we fail to live accordingly we choose to  live our lives beneath the required spiritual standard.  Blending in is a discomfort and if you refuse to become who you know you should be, you have decided also to live an unhappy life.

How many people would want to maintain their relationship with you if your mask was taken off?  Would you be more loved or would they run away because the real you is not a person of their interest?  We need to get to that mental and emotional place in our lives whereby who we should be is what matters most and not what people expect of us and  who they want us to be.

We would never be able to please everyone, this is just impossible.  However what you and me can do is be true to ourselves and start living our lives as we know we should.  If you were wearing a mask I dare you to take it off and from this day onward start being true to yourself.  Learn yourself, become comfortable with who you are and allow people to learn the real you.  Acknowledge the spiritual convictions in your soul and seek peace with God.  You have yourself to live with for the rest of your life. It is time for you to make yourself happy and satisfy your soul by meeting its spiritual requirements.

THE CYCLE

We as God's children have the power to put a complete end to whatever vicious, demonic cycle that exist in our lives. The kingdom of darkness has no legal rights to invade our world once we've become Believers and walk in obedience to God's word. It does not matter what our parents, grand parents or forefathers did, we are a new creation in Christ and all the curses have been defeated. A vicious, demonic cycle can ONLY reoccur in our lives upon you and I giving the kingdom of darkness permission by us opening the door through our compromise with sin. Cycles are different from seasons and it is imperative that you know the difference. Cycles represents curses; the Israelites walked in a forty years cycle in the wilderness. Seasons are signs of times and shifts in our lives. Don't entertain a cycle believing that it is a season in your life. Know the difference between the two, for one is detrimental while the other is beneficial.
