He really had to STRIPPPP away the old- the friends, the theology, the ideology and the xpose the underlying insecurity and constant neediness for affirmation from people. I couldn't experience a personal relationship with God until he freed up my heart from all the worldly things that were stored up in it. I was bitter, upset and felt abandoned. I still feel so sometimes but I know how to separate feelings from TRUTH! I can speak over myself and not have to rely on anyone else but god to fulfill that need. I know God will work through people in my life to speak to me so relationships are still ESSENTIAL. Don't under or over estimate the power of community brothers and sisters!
I had to feel empty again in order for God to fill me up with His grace and love.
“There’s a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. When you truly know God, you have energy to serve Him, boldness to share Him, and contentment in Him.”

He Will Complete It
Is there something you’ve been believing for, something you’ve been hoping for that’s taking longer than you expected? You might be tempted to just accept things the way they are. You might be tempted to think it’s never going to happen. If that’s you today, be encouraged because God is a finisher! He will complete what He’s started in you! Your part is to believe. Your part is to keep your eyes on Him. When you believe, you have the Creator of the universe fighting your battles, arranging things in your favor, going before you, moving the wrong people out of the way. Don’t be intimidated by the size of a problem or the size of your dream! Don’t let circumstances convince you to stop believing. “Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider, is still on the throne. One touch of God’s favor and you’ll go from barely getting by to having more than enough! Begin to thank Him and declare that God is at work. Declare that He is perfecting what concerns you. Declare that He will complete everything He’s started in your life!
