Confession Time:
I believed that Jesus' healing power was limited. I had heard for a long time that Jesus can restore the hurting and pain filled heart of mine, but I honestly did not believe that. From my daddy issues to the various slip ups I had when it came to keeping myself physically pure for my future husband I truly thought I was well beyond repair. Then BOOM! I was attending a daily Bible study with my soul sister and God reminded me of the curses placed on Adam, Eve and the serpent. (I know, weird, but just follow me) Genesis 3:14-15 (NKJV) "So the Lord God said to the serpent:“Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”" In the account of the Crucifixion Jesus' body was not broken like they normally would do but pierced (bruised). John 19:31-34 (NKJV) "Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out." We (humans) were the reason why Jesus was bruised. However, He was not broken, which means I am not broken but bruised and able to heal as if the trauma I had been through never even occurred. I mean if Jesus couldn't fix me and make me totally new like the scriptures claimed then there was not a reason for Him to die. But He did, which means that He is capable and able over everyone else to heal what ails me as well as what ails you too. Thanks for reading lovelies! Peace & Blessings, <3 Nándi

Confession Time
I still believed that I was defeated and broken even after I got saved. It has taken me years to realize the truth of the Gospel and apply it to my life daily. Yet, something more was missing. I took time away from blogging because I needed to heal. A pastor I heard once said that you cant help someone else heal if you see yourself as a victim still. So I challenged myself, looked in the mirror and asked myself who I thought I was and why I felt that way. What did I see vs. what did God say... During a weekly Bible study I realized my identity... soon after I also realized that the one common theme that is repeated over and over again in the Bible is that all of God's people are tied together by one thing... VICTORY. So lovelies, I pray that if you didn't know it yet, like I didn't know way back when, that now you know that Victory is directly attached to your life and identity via God's Plan. Matthew 28:1-6 (NKJV) "Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. 5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." Thanks for reading lovelies! Peace & Blessings, <3 Nándi |
