I know this is kinda simple, but I would love to eliminate my weakness for food. If I could only change my mindset to "eating to live" not "living to eat", I would have a nice figure! I really don't eat alot, I just eat the wrong food. (sweets, fast food, breads, etc)

My weakness is quite simply that I take people at face value. I just believe whatever they say. But boy oh boy, its gotten me into a lot of trouble. But the Lord has always come to my rescue. Praise Him!!!

I LOVE YOU JESUS. You

My itty bitty weakness testimony

1. I'm wayyyyyy too gullible.

2. I'm wayyyyyyy too naive about some things.

3. I'm wayyyyyy too sensitive about certain things.

4. I take things the wrong way sometimes, but I don't mean to.

5. I trust people when I shouldn't

6. I let others take advantage of me at times, because I want to try to be as helpful as I can be.

7. Sometimes I think I care TOO much about other peoples feelings and eliminate my very own.

8. I'm probably too much of a type A personality and I need to slow down

9. Sometimes I say things I shouldn't to other people and then later feel bad about it.

10. I have a temper and I let it show quite a bit.

11. I have a low tolerance for those that don't show others compassion.

12. I give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes when I shouldn't. When will I ever learn?

13. I want to hear the truth, even when it hurts. So please don't candy coat it, but at the same time be totally honest and leave no room for doubt or any reason to wonder what you meant by what you said. Tell it like it is, in other words.

14. I'm sure there are tons more and as I think of them, I'll add them to my little testimony list.

The very benevolent Kat

Another one of mine is definately trust. I don't understand why I can't trust any one. Even the Lord. I struggle so with trust, and faith and whatnot.

I do believe what people say, I guess I am gullible, but I don't really trust that person.

Anger. I so easily lash out. And yell. I guess it comes in part from being raised that way, in that environment. but I so desperatly want to be more like Christ, and not have so much unrighteous anger.

Purity. I have been so corrupted by things done to me and by my own actions. I just want to have a pure heart and a clean mind.

I get too wrapped up in others people's problems. They become my own almost. It literally eats me up. Especially if there is nothing I can do to help them.

This is interesting...

For me.... I would like to rid myself of my weakness of giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and doing for others.. I suppose that falls under that category of gullible, naive..etc.. and the lack of ability to say NO!!!

I think I believe in people too much.. I want to help people so much and believe in them when they say that they want to change and blah blah blah ... that I become a doormat most times in the process .. and then the result of that brings on so much other junk in my life.. and I tend to end up losing my witness.

I think if I can really grab hold and get a revelation of how Jesus helped people and follow his lead, and bring my mercy gift into balance... then I probably wouldnt have as many troubles in other areas that I have been experiencing... Alot of times I wish God didn't give me the gift of mercy....truthfully, I don't like it..... it causes me to much trouble and heartache .. :blink:

God Bless

Kelli I hear you on the weakness part! I hate feeling weak, I admire people who are strong and confident in their faith and walk with the Lord. I am constantly second guessing myself wondering if I'm doing the right thing, saying the right thing at the right time, I'm just loaded with feelings of inadequacys.

Also I don't take criticism well I think its a personal attack and get all upset and fall apart. Its because all I ever got growing up was criticism and its hard now to get it from anyone. And I'm way too sensitive I cry at the drop of a hat, I cry at some commercials for heavens sake. I cry at things on the news, at some of your posts, when someone looks at me the wrong way. Good grief, God deliver me from this affliction please! And I don't take compliments well, because I don't believe them, when you don't get any growing up your self-worth is kinda shot to heck. I'm just pretty much a basket case eh? But as I said to Cats "God doesn't make junk!" I just have to belive it now!

Marilyn, you know, a lot of what you describe about crying could also be considered a gift from God. You see, you

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
