Made to Crave week 2 1/26-2/1

This week I have really learned to lean in to the Lord with my craving. I had the determination to pray through my cravings.  I learned last week that I could asked for help with my craving from the Lord. This was my victory this week. I don't fight my battles I let God do that for me. I just need to give it to Him and stand-strong. I fill my self with the word and with His spirit and He does the rest.

I have been trying on my own strength to overcome my cravings and I would just end up giving in most of the time. Then the cycle of self loathing would set in. As you see sometime we can do it on our own strength but the victory is never really won. We seem to have to fight that battle all the time over and over. I didn't want to do that any more. I didn't want to be like the Israelites  in wandering the desert of unbelief and able to crossover to the promise land, because of my own wants of things that are not beneficial to me.

When I called on the Lord to help me with my craving.. it was letting go of my control and letting God.
By letting God take my craving and that fight. I was able to overcome each night. Now I am not sitting here saying it was easy. I am not saying that it was easy, IT WAS NOT. MY FLESH wanted that sweet morsel in the evening.... I had a war going on.... I was not going to fight any longer... It was time to let God fight this battle for me. I just need to turn it over to Him. I prayed, quoted scripture and got busy.

I will not let my circumstance of my past or present define how I am. I am glorious daughter of God, fearfully and wonderfully made.

I AM A OVERCOMER!!!!!
I AM MADE FOR MORE!!!!!

Ephesians 1-18-23

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

This is why we can be overcomers. This is why we can walk in victory. This is how we stand strong in the face of our craving, or shortcoming.
