More of Him less of me

Proverbs 27:17 As Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Had someone tell me on the phone yesterday that they were seeing more of me in the last month and less of God. The sad thing is that what was said was true. In some ways, I was seeing that myself but did not want to believe it. Thank you Jesus for putting men in my life that will speak life into me and not death.

Galatians 5:7 you were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth?

I was reading my testimony last night and the enemy was saying you need to re write this because it is a lie. In my mind I thought "WHATEVER" I know who I am. It is so easy to be taken out of your game and not even realize what is happening. It is so easy to believe the lie, whatever the lie may be. This morning I spent 30 minutes reading…… all of 2 Corinthians. I read it all because I wanted to write something to send out. I got nothing. I was very frustrated. It was only when I stopped searching that I received something to write. I opened up an email that I had received back on July 7th and this is what it said.

Philippians 1:20-21

20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Can it get any clearer than that? I must die so I can live ……. Are you dying or are you living?
