Sparking Desire

Life has been just a little crazy lately.
I just can't get enough of God, he's too awesome! I love how we can ask him anything at anytime, and he always, I mean, ALWAYS knows the answers.
This blog is something that is so very personal to me, because I am fighting for my own dreams as we speak. Everything I ever tell you guys is something that I'm learning, or learned and still getting the hang of it...even after several years later! I know I'm supposed to be in a band someday; God has called me also specific leadership in the band, and I believe in other areas as well. If I didn't give those dreams all I have, my faith and my hope, they would be lost in the imaginary world forever. I give into doubt as well, and I know I shouldn't. Because doubt is the very thing that can screw up your dreams in the blink of an eye.
However, I choose to keep following in my God destiny and hold onto him. (see, The keys to life) He knows what he's doing. However, the enemy comes to not only just kill and destroy, but to steal. He can kill your dreams by stealing them if you let him, by doubting. Doubt are thoughts that are brought on by Satan himself, God is not he God of doubt, but of Faith. You're not good enough...those people can do it but you can't, just because you're you...you're stupid...what gives you the right to dream, when you're nothing in the eyes of the people? Came the quiet voice that sounds like your own thoughts. When really, they're being whispered into your ear by lying and deceiving spirits. The Holy Spirit, will not deceive you, nor lie to you to get his way or make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. He tells you that he's with you through and through. Jesus said that through him you could do all things, and that nothing is impossible for those who believe in God. Jesus said that you're the apple of God's eye!! Holy buckets, that's cool! It can get extremely difficult on me to not give into doubt and fear of not being good enough. But, in God's eyes I am good enough. I am the bride of Christ, YOU are the bride of Christ. Don't limit God by not believing in the very things he planted in you to do. Why do you think those deep desires of dreams lie within you? God put them there. Why would he put them there if he didn't think you were good enough? Smart or even pretty enough? Don't give in. Why fear when God says there's no point in fear. One of my FAVORITE quotes is this, "Fear is only a cowardly thought."  Keep holding on, keep dreaming, and anything that pops into your head that is not of the things of God, throw them OUT! Things that do not focus on things that are true, lovely, kind, excellent, or of good report, cast it out. Because you know if anything that pops into your head that contradicts those things is not from God. Such as fear, anger, depression, hate, self-pity, envy, etc. You have the very power to just say, "No, I refuse to believe or do any of those things, be gone with you in the name of Jesus!" Even if you have to battle with telling it several times a day, keep doing it. And it will soon start running with its tail between its legs.
I hope this encourages you guys! Love you!
