Don't Tread On Me.

-


No weapon

Formed against me

Shall prosper

Don’t tread on me.

[Don’t Tread on Me by We the Kingdom]


I was literally singing this song in the shower, and this message was planted right smack dab in my mind. So prepare your hearts for this God-given message y’all !!


If ya haven’t already, go listen to it. It’s good + gritty and makes me wanna beat up satan. Anyways… [lol]


Everyday, your heart + mind is attacked by the enemy.


just let this fact sink in for a moment. right now there is battle between the Holy Spirit, and your flesh.


He uses certain distractions, or weapons to get a foothold in your life, and ultimately pull you away from your heavenly Father.


Now, ask yourself this question ::


What are the weapons that the enemy uses in my life?


seriously. stop what you are doing right now. look up from your phone and think. open your notes and write down what or who the enemy is using to distract you from God.


The first thing that popped up in my head was the rechargeable, black screen that seems to hold so much power in my everyday life, and most likely yours too.





What if we went back to only using a phone for communication purposes?

Think how much more present we would be in our lives, and how we would talk to more people and actually be where our feet are.


That would be the type of world I would wanna live in.


Another weapon he could use to pull you away from your relationship with your heavenly Father could be your ::


-pride

-fear

-girlfriend

-boyfriend

-car

-truck

-friends

-popularity

-the substance you’re addicted to

-vape

-money

-success

-accomplishments

-depression

-porn addiction [yes we are going there]

-career

-guilt

-secrets

-false self

-anxiety

-food

-doubt

-myself


And the list goes on.

Not only can these things be weapons, but they could be idols in your life.


A huge point in this is that you need God. The proof of this statement is hidden in creation.




IDK about you, but every single time I choose to put Him first in my day, MY DAY IS SO MUCH BETTER.


Why? Because I’m walking in step with Him ! I’m not straying away from God and pushing away my relationship w/ Him.


God loves you. Believing that He is alive, that He sent His Son to earth to die on the cross to be the ultimate sacrifice that you needed to have a relationship with Him. So that you may gain my glorious inheritance and get to go to Heaven one day.


Believing in God was + is the best decision I have ever made in my life. It is because of Him, that I have life, and have it abundantly.


So please, if anything, take this with you today. Think about it.

MARINATE IN IT. That’s all I ask.


xoxo,
abigail rose

The prodigal son.

  “[20] So he got up and went to his father. But while the son was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. [21] The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven in your sight. I’m no longer worthy to be called you son.’ [22] “But the father told his servants, ‘Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. [23] Then bring the fattened calf and slaughter it, and let;s celebrate with a feast, [24] because this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!” [luke 15:20-24] I’m sure this isn’t the first time you’ve heard the story of the prodigal son, but if you have never heard of it, I am honored to be the first person to tell you a lil’ bit about it. :) I have an interesting story that goes along with this passage of scripture, so just relax, sit down in a nice comfy chair, maybe get a cup o’ coffee, and soak in ...

The Truth I'm Standing On.

  My rock, my shield, my firm foundation, I know I will not be shaken, you remind me where my help comes from this is the truth I’m standing on. [Truth I’m Standing on] by Leanna Crawford Wassup guys. I am honored to share a lesson that God has been teaching me lately, right where he placed me.  Right where he planned for me to be before I was formed in my mother’s womb [psalm 139:16]. How ground-breaking is that truth?  That alone would be enough for y’all to sit and chew on. Anyway... let’s get to the heart of this message. [Also, feel free to whip out your handy dandy Bible and flip to the verses of scripture mentioned :)] Idk about you, but sometimes I feel purposeless and forget why I’m here. now, I’m not saying that sometimes I get suicidal, but I’m saying that I just forget what God says. and the opposite of forgetting is remembering. God has taught me the importance of remembering his truth because if you're not remembering, you're forgetting. As for me,  I n...

Christ makes the difference.

-
For anyone who...  is struggling in their quiet time with God & having discipline in many, if not all areas of their life, doesn’t know where to start in reading the bible Feels overwhelmed//confused when it comes to reading the bible ...this post is for you.  I TOTALLY get you. You are not alone. I have struggled with all of these things, and am still learning that Christ’s grace is enough for me (2 Corinthians 12:9). So. Let’s jump right in, shall we? A lesson I’ve learned several times is how to CONSISTENTLY spend time with Jesus. I have struggled and still struggle with making time for the Lord. I’ve lost discipline and the drive to get up every morning, and I’ve also forgotten the importance of dying to your flesh every morning, truly putting Jesus first, and inviting him into every area of your life, not just one.  We can’t live a fruitful, joyful life without Jesus. “I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit...
