How to Get Rooted in God???

[jesusaveslives77]

If I am still struggling with strongholds, how can I get rooted in the word of God? God gave us power over everything that he created, but how do I use that power when I still have issues of my own. For instance the Spirit of

[Candi770]

God is the one who regenerated your spirit at your spiritual birth. He wants to regenerate your mind with the word of God, so that you will know him better, have the spiritual weapons to defeat spiritual issues, be able to communicate with Him, be a witness of Jesus Christ, etc. . the list could go on forever.

Submit to his presence in your life allowing His Holy Spirit to feed you that word. God does all the work.

Then as you need your weapons in a situation, your spirit will bring it up, like a google to defeat the enemy. As you give heed to the word of God (who the bible considers Jesus) You are living IN CHRIST. And in a since Jesus has the opportunity to work in and through you.

Your righteousness is gained through what Jesus did for you and all you have to do is remain in the vine; remain in relationship with Him. His desires become your desires.

God says we have not because we ask not. Whatever the matter, sin, etc, weakness, asked Jesus for His Help; He will show Himself strong in your life. He loves the humble and resists the pride. Pride would tell you you can do it all by yourself. But we were created to be fully dependant on God.

Do you have a regular prayer/study/quiet time with the Lord, if you do this daily; allowing him to speak to you through His word, studying with the help of the Holy Spirit, it will also be a blessing.

In his presence is where you will find what you need.

Thank you candi. I pray when I wake up, I pray throughout the day, and at night. I feel like my spirit is wanting more of God, but my flesh is so weak. When I pray I ask God to take away anything in me that is not of him. I ask for strength to deal with temptation, which is my biggest weakness. I am strongly seeking God's face, I want God to use me, and for his will to be done in my life. I am so hungry for God and the Word of God. I know that I need to just pray, but I also enjoy listening to people who have been where I am right now.

Your on the right track, keep on pressing in. He'll use you in his timing, let him prepare you.

The temptations and trials that the Lord gives you victory in will be a blessing someday to someone else going through the same thing. So all the tough times in life, do not go on in vain, God can use us!!
