*DON'T LET THE DEVIL SHUT YOU UP*!!~
JEREMIAH 20:9
Yes, I sin. Yes, I’ve made some stupid mistakes. Probably more than most believers. But does that mean I have no right to talk about the things of God or the convictions He gives to mold us into His perfect will? Satan would love for us to shut up when we slip up. God gives the hardest tests to His strongest students ~ and satan is most threatened by those students.
Imagine if all the men and women in the Bible shut up when they messed up? Don’t we learn from them the benefits of trusting God no matter what?
It is written without faith we can’t please God, so if we turn from God and back to the world when disaster strikes because we feel God has forsaken us or we listen to the enemies lies we are angering God and playing into the hands of the devil.

We are to exalt Christ Jesus not self.
If we stay stuck in our failures instead of looking at our failures as a learning tool and watch how it brings us even closer intimately with the Father shouldn't we share, glorify, and boast to others about our awesome gracious God? The devil hates this ~ he would rather we sulk, and quietly wallow in shame and self-pity. Or worse yet loose faith and return to a life of bondage.
