Believing as 2 sides of the coin

The gift of believing is as far and wide and unlimited as the sky, but it does have two sides.

The first side is believing.

Imagine what you would like, believe for it with the desires of your heart and calling it in.

Examples are a living environment. You need your own space. Peace and harmony in your life

is a good expectation. You can find it through your living space.

You may need a new set of wheels. You call that in as well in Jesus' name until you SEE it. You do

need to work, pull from your savings as intentional ways to bring it forth, but He, the Lord can make a 

way for you from unseen places you haven't even thought of.

Mark 11:24 and 25 mentions believing and having the faith to move the mountains. It does take 

a lot of believing for anything without seeing it.

You might say, one day you are going to go to college. It may seem far-fetched, but you do it- it just 

takes time.

You also could say you are going to have a better life, one completely free where you aren't badgered 

with wicked names and manipulated. Freedom is not free, but through 

Christ Jesus it is because He paid for it (Isaiah 53:4-5).

Believing is a knowing. You know this or that because you "trust."

Believing with your heart and mind. This reflects big in America. We see where America is with 

hearts and minds where people believe in certain ways.

There are all sorts of religions, yet there is only one true God. 

Believing is a trust and confidence. We know God is trustworthy and righteous.

I have heard a few ladies ask, well, if God is real, why does He allow domestic abuse?

He is real. Ephesians 6:12-24 talks about the full armor of God and that "we are not fighting against

flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen word, against mighty 

in this dark world, against evil spirit in the heavenly places."

I know it can be a tough one to swallow, but it is true. You must ask the Lord what spirit is operating 

behind the one giving you the trouble?

The Flip Side

With that, I bring you the flip side of the coin of believing.

When survivors of domestic abuse feel ready, courageous, confident, and feel they can finally trust 

people to share their story, unfortunately, they are not always believed. ((ouch!!))

It is sad. People may make faces, gestures, have interesting tones of voices, or respond in a weird way

which reflects, the kind of response you wouldn't want or expect. This because they think it's too far

fetched, even when it is true. It's their thinking and "believing."

When the person is not believed, they feel it deep down inside, which only adds more hurt, more

 sorrow, loss, and discouragement. It's like, why don't they believe?  Coals are lit when

 others do not believe.

When survivors come forward years after an incident, they finally are able to share their story. The 

trauma and strongholds do break off, praise God!

I will say a prayer for you today.

Father, in the name of your son Jesus, I pray for the woman reading this blog today. May you touch and

comfort her heart, renew her mind, break off any and all trauma, any residue from the past hurt of 

wound either in action or words, we break off every word curse in the mighty name of Jesus. We speak

life over you now. We speak courage over you now. We speak healing and restoration in your heart,

mind, body, soul, and spirit. We thank you Lord, you are the only one who can restore and healing

areas that have been traumatized. We thank you Lord you are so good and kind and lovely. Your mercy

endures forever. Thank you, Lord, for giving this woman everything she needs (Psalm 103)- daily load

of benefits, she receives now. I speak life over her and wellness. I ask you God to vacuum up all of her 

negative emotions and she trades them for all your goodness in heaven. Thank you, Lorde for restoring 

and healing her. Thank you, she receives it now in Yeshua's mighty name amen.
