I can CHANGE them… Oh Really!

Joyce Meyer touches on the Correct Mindset in “The Mind Connection” and is an amazing 14 day Bible Plan on how to get your mind in the right place, not only to be on the same page as God, but also how to ignore the lies told to us each and every day.

In day 9 we can read about how you can change and the change in other (ie; partners, husbands, wives, etc). Read it in the link below👇

How many relations have I been in where either I’ve tried to change someone or they’ve tried to change me? More than I can count. And this has been a learning curve. Sometimes easy lessons and some painful. However, this passage from Joyce Meyer reminds us of a couple of things,

The first is: we can’t change others, it’s as simple as that.

Second: we can help change ourselves if one, we are willing to change for the better, and two, if we allow God to work in us.

Third: to reconfirm what was just said. God changes us for the better, He has plans for us, to prosper us and not harm us. Jeremiah Chapter 29: Verse 11 NIV

“Lord Jesus, thank you for your direction, for loving us unconditionally and caring so much that you sent The Holy Spirit to guide us. Continue to chastise us, continue to build us up and continue to make us men and woman after your own heart, in your name Lord Jesus we ask this, Amen”

Poem: Everyday, are You there?

Please listen to https://youtu.be/4VR-6AS0-l4 (einaudi: nuvole bianche) before reading the poem, thank you.

I wake up and I’m in pain, It’s insane

I try to move and it sears through me,

I call out

Are you there?

Dragging myself up

Pushing in pain

Hurt from all sides

Are you there?

Step by step

Slowly moving

Gripping to hold on

Are you there?

In the mirror I look

Another wrinkle

Another gray hair

Are you there?

Trying to get washed

Feeling like I’ve lost

A tear rolls down my cheek

Are you there?

Step by step

Slowly moving

Gripping to hold on

Are you there?

Trying to move down stairs

All old with gray hairs

Pain, pain, pain

Are you there?

In the kitchen, reaching for a bowl

Hurting, searing pain

Feeling so drained

Are you there?

Step by step

Slowly moving

Gripping to hold on

Are you there?

Sitting to eat

Every muscle aches

Feeling cold

Are you there?

Trying to warm

The hearts feeling torn

Aching, aching, aching

Are you there?

Step by step

Slowly moving

Gripping to hold on

Are you there?

Time to nap, so tired

In the chair

Sleep like a blanket falls

Are you there?

Awoke

dehydrated

Confused

Are you there?

Step by step

Slowly moving

Gripping to hold on

Are you there?

Time to eat

No hunger inside

Must eat

Are you there?

Time to climb

Stairs like mountain peaks

Slowly rising

Are you there?

Step by step

Slowly moving

Gripping to hold on

Are you there?

Brushing teeth

Joints hurting

Agonising

Are you there?

Sat on the edge

pyjamas on

Thinking back

Are you there?

Step by step

Slowly moving

Gripping to hold on

Are you there?

I Am,

I never left

Right beside you

I Am here

Listening to God… and Meditate.

How many Christians have we met and even ourselves, I know I have, where we read God’s Word and think that’s it, I’ve done my part. Pat myself on the back what a good boy/girl I am and what a good and faithful servant I am. Yet we forget to then spend time with God, sitting with Him, thinking about what we have just read in the Bible, and chatting to Him about it and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our thoughts to what God wants to reveal to us this day.

I would love for you to read day 10 of Joyce Meyer’s Daily Devotional “Battlefield of the mind”. You may like to read the full 14 day devotional over the two week period and help receive amazing insight by The Holy Spirit via Joyce Meyer.

“Lord Jesus, Thank you for your unconditional love and support, you know our failings and you still accept us and take us in as part of your Royal Household. You’ve forgiven and forgotten our sins. Thank you. Please forgive our sins and make us whole in You. Help us to have open hearts, open minds to what your Holy Spirit is wanting to teach us this day. Build us up, strengthen us and heal us, in your name I ask this Lord Jesus, Amen”
