Praise God from whom all blessing flo. Praise Him all creatures here below.Praise Him Father,Son,and Holy Ghost.
I have gratitude in my heart, that during my thirty year Christian walk, God has always forgiving me when I have repented. This study continues to be full of inspirational Godly wisdom.
What Stepping Stones 12 has to say about God wanting us to get right back up after we fall down is so true. Also, That God is so willing to forgive us and clean us if we are truly sorry and confess and give it to Him. He will use us and what we have been thru for His glory and honor if we give it to Him. He will make us stronger witnesses for it. God is Good and merciful. Amen.
I know this to be true for there are so many times in my Christian walk that I have fallen,but fortunately I gave these failures to the Lord. He forgave me and grew me because of my confession and repentance. When I first started on my Christain walk and began to fall, it took me along time to understand that if God forgave me, I needed to forgive myself and move on. In fact just since doing this Christian Counseling, I've really grown in forgive and forget and Let go and let God. I know as todays study says, as long as we are here on this earth satan is going to do all he can to try and make us fall. That is why we need to put on the full armor of God and rely on God and the Holy Spirit to fight the spiritual battles.
The very encouraging thing for me in all this is the more we read God's Word and seek the Holy Spirit the easier it becomes to identify satin's arrows and resist and avoid them. God is all powerful and mighty and good. He wants us to have the victory. That is why he has given us the weapons for us to use. Over the years I learn to utilizes these more and more. I am blessed and strengthened because of this. Thank you Lord for giving us your son,Jesus, your Word, The Bible, and the Holy Spirit. Thank you that you have won the eternal battle. Thank you for your armor, that you have provided for us. It is up to us to choose to put it on. It is well worth it to make that decision. For the only way to fight against satan's trap's is by your power thru the armor of God that you provide for us. Thank you Dear Heavenly Father. Amen
Lastly, thank you,that from learning these things, I can fall a lot less, and when I do fall I will be able to get up a lot faster by your power and forgiveness. Amen

Amen megan sis. You have learned so much about the Christian walk. Of course it is never going to be a perfect walk, as we are man, but it can't be as close to perfect as we want to make it. Like you said we can resist Satan's temptations more easily, as we can identify his temptations quicker and not fall into them. It's great to see you on Step 12 megan. Two more to go wooohooo.

love ya and have an awesome day sis
