Praise God !!!!
Posted: Wed Jun 27, 2007 5:27 pmI just wanted to share something with u guys, that was just too cool to keep to myself. A Praise Report on the Awesomeness of our God !
For a long time now, maybe a few months, I have been falling into the same old trap set by the enemy, and actually, I should say I casually sauntered into them quite a few times all on my own, knowing that it wasn't the right thing, but yet still doing it. I have been praying on this for a long time and I kept asking God to help me overcome, cuz my heart was not at peace. I knew it was not pleasing to Him. Everynite I would ask Him, Lord help me to give up this habit, in my heart it's not what I want to do, but yet I keep making the same mistake over and over. And like I said, I'd ask Him, but then go right ahead and open that door again and smile, thinking I could resist. But I would just fall right back in again, and then feel icky about it. Well, night before last, I just totally gave up. I said God, I just don't have the strength, I want to but I can't, not by myself, not even to resist. And I asked Him, God, remove this from my life, take it away, take away the temptation, cuz I'm not strong enough on my own to turn away. And He did!! The very next night! He removed the source of the temptation, He completely removed it. There was nothing for me to even partake in! And as soon as I realized it was gone, I knew He had done it! He is sooo awesome!! This is not the first time that God has responded to my prayers for help, but each time He did, it was when I truly gave it all up to Him and admitted that I couldn't do it alone.Cuz there were times when I asked Him to carry my burdens, but then I wouldn't give them up. I still tried to do it on my own. So I just wanted to share this with u all and let you know that God does hear us, don't ever doubt it, but don't let your need for control over your situation, hinder God from working in your life, like I did. Just admit that you can't do it on your own, and then with all your heart ask Him to take care of it for you, and He will. Praise God!!
