Growth with God

It’s wild..growing your relationship w God. One minute you think you’re doing what is good for your soul only to have the challenges really begin once you open your heart. The Devil hates when you’re ready to take the next step. He will do everything possible to block your growth. The devil will try and break you mentally, physically & spiritually…keep praying & keep pushing forward. The Devil will make you question if you’re worthy & if God is even really there. Reach your hand out anyway. Trust the process and remember the journey to healing and growth is usually not “pretty”. God sees you, he hears you & he loves you. One thing that really hit me this morning is, how would he use me to help others if I didn’t have to learn to fall and fall HARD, get back up and be ready to go again? You don’t learn those deeply rooted soul lessons w out some scars along the way. I can’t wait to see where the remainder of this journey takes me 🙏🏻💙

... Read moreGrowing your relationship with God is often a complex journey filled with both highs and lows. Many believers find that just when they think they’re progressing well spiritually, new challenges arise that test their faith deeply. It’s important to recognize that these struggles are not signs of failure but opportunities for growth. The presence of spiritual adversities, often seen as attacks by the devil, is a common theme in Christian teachings. These challenges aim to break your spirit but also serve to strengthen your resilience through prayer and perseverance. Mental battles might include feelings of unworthiness or doubt about God’s presence, which can shake your faith to its core. Physical and spiritual exhaustion can follow, especially as you open your heart more vulnerably to God’s work. During these times, continuing to pray and push forward, even when it feels heavy, is essential. Remember that God’s love is constant; although the healing journey isn’t always pleasant or easy, it is necessary to build a deeper, more authentic relationship. Embracing the scars from past falls and learning from setbacks is part of this spiritual growth process. These experiences shape empathy and greater understanding, allowing you to become a vessel for helping others on their own paths. Many find that after enduring hardships, their testimony becomes a powerful tool for inspiring faith in others. It’s also helpful to connect with communities of faith, such as Christian women’s groups or healing ministries, where shared experiences reinforce strength and hope. By openly acknowledging struggles and recognizing them as a normal part of the walk with God, you create space for authentic healing. The journey might involve falling hard, but rising again each time ready to continue is where true growth lies. In all, spiritual growth with God is about trusting the process, even when it’s messy or painful. Your story of resilience and faith becomes a testimony of God’s unfailing love and grace. Keep your heart open, your faith strong, and remember: God sees you, he hears you, and he loves you deeply throughout every step of your journey.
