Walking Out Faith- A little about Me

I was so excited to start this blog in December 2019 and I had even promised myself that I would use my time in January to work on it and publish articles and just immerse myself in it. And as you would have it, I didn’t. But that didn’t stop my Daddy God from pushing me to do it. The other day I had gone to C.U.M Books with a dear friend of mine and my spiritual mom, with the purpose of finding a new bible for my friend- a birthday present to herself. I absolutely adore going to C.U.M Books, I just love going to a place whose mere air exudes Jesus, the music, the people, the books, and everything else is about Him, so I didn’t want to miss the chance of going there with them. While being there, there were many people in the store and one particular person was so friendly warm towards us and started giving my friend advice on which study guide bible she should buy. At some point she and I started talking by ourselves, she just started telling me about her experience with Jesus and how He has revealed things to her about herself and how He had strengthened her when she had an encounter with a sangoma (a South African traditional doctor/spiritual consultant/divine interceder) who appeared to want to harm her in some way. The conversation lead to the daily battle we face in our minds. I am grateful to God for bringing her in my way to remind me to work on this blog and to show me that, yes, indeed there is a fiery battle going on in our minds and that it doesn’t only affect me- it affects everyone, not only the new Christians.

Once you have given your life to Christ Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, there is an earth-shattering change in the spiritual realm, where all your ties to sin are broken, where all the chains are shattered, where every yoke to satan’s principalities are seared by the grace of God through Jesus, and you become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Then your new life begins and your eternal life is secured. Where you build your life in Him, and ensure that you live the life that He wants for you (Colossians 2:6 -

7). This is when you start Walking out your Faith with Christ Jesus, who is our North Star, our True North, and our Compass to the life that Daddy God has in store for us and to Daddy God Himself. He doesn’t promise that the road will be free of easy, but He does promise you that with Him in the driver’s seat, He will weep with you, He will mourn with you, and He will give you the peace that you so longingly need. He promises to be closer than a friend to you (Proverbs 18:24).

Before I had recommitted my life to my Hearts True Keeper (Jesus), I had been living my life, in my own way, controlling every single aspect of my life, I mean everything, which left no room for Daddy God, because I (and my ex-boyfriend) was lord over my life. There was barely any room for Him; I essentially pushed Him so far from my life. And yet, He was constantly there. Fighting for me, reaching out to me but I either would be too scared to reach out to take His hand or I was too deaf and to blind to h ear and see Him. Now, I’m not saying I didn’t run to Him when things got hard, I did. I would run, no, sprint, to Him when things got hectic. Basically using Him whenever I needed rescuing. I wouldn’t even pray much in the week, probably once or twice in the week or when things got really bad. Regardless of all of that, He was still faithful. Regardless of my inconsistent faith in Him. I would also sin and convince myself that what I was doing was fine because everyone else in the world was doing it, and that the bible can change with the years because then things were different than today. Today, I imagine how sad He must’ve been, seeing me purposefully run away from Him, doing something that hurt me (under the guise that I’m free) and wound Him. A beautiful thing about Him is that regardless of my previous mistakes, sins and slights towards Him, He forgave them all. Through Jesus I have been able to find true salvation. In every aspect of the word; utter freedom from past sins and future sins. All because of the undeserving grace I’ve received from God through my Saviour Jesus. And peace. OMW, I had to mention the peace that He consistently gives me, which has made walking in the midst of a storm a lot easier (2 Timothy 1:7).

Like I have mentioned briefly in the introduction, this blog was something Holy Spirit inspired me to do. I believe that God will use this blog to help me fight and conqueror the battle for my mind, and in the same token help other Christians who are currently facing/have the same sentiments regarding the mind and lastly possibly plant seeds in hearts of people whose hearts have not yet had the pleasure of hearing or receiving the Gospel. I am nothing but a follower and a lover of Christ and child of God who wants to follow Him in everything that I do. I pray that His will be done with and on this blog. May we work together to grow in Christ, to follow His path and to remain solely focused on Him.
