Squinting In Fog

 

Christi Bowman

I've found myself addicted to many things that have hurt me spiritually, but with the help of an AMAZING God, a WONDERFUL husband, and a few good friends I am overcoming. I have what some people call an addictive personality, and I have heard it said that when one addiction is given up it can be quickly replaced with the next best thing that comes along...all I can say is I HOPE SO.

What do you want more than God?

9:11 AM by Christi Bowman

What are YOU addicted to? If you are not being TRANSFORMED DAILY by the LOVE of GOD, then what are you addicted to? It is ALL addiction...and it is ALL Satan...and it is ALL lies. and that is why sin is sin to God...from the prisoner...to the preacher. The POWER of the LOVE of God...IN Christ Jesus can cure us ALL. He died so that we may have life...and have life ABUNDANTLY...NOT when we die...BUT NOW!! If we are NOT living with ABUNDANT life NOW...then He died for no reason. Why are we living NOW without His power...why are we waiting to die to receive His promises? I am NOT talking crazy!! I have lived too long without abundant life...and now I have it...now I get it. I WANT IT FOR EVERYBODY!! I am NOT powerless over pain or addiction or abuse or bitterness or anger, or loneliness, or abandonment, or food, or drugs or money, or clothes, or boys, or girls, or sex, or cars or ANYTHING ELSE. WHAT IS IT FOR YOU? If you are not ALIVE...then it is SOMETHING!!! What would you rather have more than God? What do you trust more than God to make you happy? What or who do you depend on more than God? Whatever it is...IT'S A LIE...and it's destroying YOU.

We as Christians are USELESS...we think we have God already...and we DON'T...not really...not until He TRANSFORMS us, and we understand that He loves us, and we are just as bad. We need Him too...DESPERATELY...EVERY DAY. We need Him to reveal Himself to us EVERYDAY. We have to take Him with us EVERYDAY. We are the walking dead if we don't get this...not because He is angry at us, but because we are missing out on EMPOWERMENT, and on truly helping people. If we are NOT living with empowerment...if God has not transformed us then what do we have to offer? We have NOTHING. HE IS NOT ANGRY WITH US...but He wants us to get it. He is DESPERATE for us to get it...SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH PAIN...The pain that living in a world of sin causes...don't fool yourself (one of Satan's biggest lies)...the world you live in has it's effects on you...no matter who you are. You have to fight against it everyday or you will be sucked in...some of us won't realize it...and others do they just don't know what it is...and it's PAIN. Either your oblivious or you are in pain...but both are just as bad.

Please be asking me how are we TRANSFORMED? Do you want to know how I did it...or how He did it through me? I HEARD Him...YES I DID. and YOU can to. LISTEN TO HIM!! He wants to talk to YOU...He loves you...and HE is NOT ANGRY. Recognize YOU have a problem...we all do...and start looking for something...He will be there...and then read your Bible. HE DOES SPEAK THROUGH IT...IT IS ALIVE...AND I AM NOT CRAZY. If you guys don't believe me I can show you a method that works...I promise...and I will help you get it...I PROMISE. HE LOVES YOU...he REALLY does...that is what He wants me to tell you...HE LOVES YOU...and He doesn't want you to hurt anymore. Your pain makes you ineffective...and you don't have to put up with it...YOU DON'T!!!

I am praying for all of us...that we get this...and that we walk in it...EVERYDAY...it is only then that we will defeat ourselves...die...and truly be reborn. God has called me to intercessory prayer. There are people He has laid on my heart...but I KNOW there are several more out there that I can pray for...and intercessory prayer WORKS as well. If you want to be transformed...if you want to hear God, but don't know how...leave me a comment...or send me an email...and I will pray for you...pray that God will reveal Himself to you...I KNOW He will do it. I will commit to make a list...with YOUR name on it...and I will pray to God on your behalf...every night...and sometimes more. He will answer me!! Have faith in that. BELIEVE THAT. I just ask that you let me know when He does so that my faith will be strengthened as well.
