Do you ever wake up in the morning and not feel like a Christian(maybe cause of shame or guilt or just plain humanness lol) Or maybe you don’t want to spend time with God or in His word? These FEELINGS are normal BUT we have the power to overcome those feelings and not give into them. To put faith into action and not let our feelings win. Let’s talk about this.

Some times I don’t want to workout but I know that I should or sometimes I just want to eat sugar and snacks all day but ultimately i know this isn’t beneficial to me and won’t give me the results I want in my mental or physical well being.

The same is true for our spiritual health! We have to get in the same mindset we would have when taking care of our physical bodies. Not giving in to our flesh and eating a carton of cookies but instead eating one cookie and then going for a walk lol Not indulging in a huge bowl of ice cream every night because you ‘deserve it’ after a hard day but instead choosing some fruit and then maybe a bowl at the end of the week.

Spiritually speaking not indulging in our laziness of not wanting to put the work into our relationship with God because we are tired or don’t feel like it but instead pushing through and reminding ourselves of the benefits of faith over feelings!

When I looked up ‘faith over feelings’ the google said this- "Faith over feelings" means prioritizing trust in God's word and promises over relying on one's fluctuating emotions.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7 – "For we live by faith, not by sight."

1. Feelings are real but not final. Emotions can be indicators but not decision-makers.- Emotions are unreliable.

• Quote on blog I read- ‘So many people live their lives completely controlled by their feelings. Every decision, reaction, and even their identity is shaped by how they feel in the moment. The problem is, our feelings are unstable, unreliable, and often flat-out wrong. They’re not meant to be the compass guiding our lives’

2)Have to learn to TRUST God and his plan- let go and give God the reins

- God’s word is truth-

- The world will tell you to follow your heart, trust your gut, and live by your truth. But if your feelings are your guide, you’ll always be tossed around by whatever circumstance you face. One moment you’re happy and confident, and the next you’re overwhelmed by insecurity and doubt. That’s why feelings can’t be your foundation. God must be.

3) Speak truth over emotion. Use scripture to realign your heart when your feelings lie.

• We, as women, are emotional creatures. Its a gift from God cause we are tender hearted and we love and care deeply. There are sooo many good things to this BUT it can also be a weakness if we let our emotions run wild. Lol

4) Anchor in God's character. Faith grows as you rehearse & remember who God is, no onlyt what you feel.

• Faith is a choice!

The reminder for you today is that you are a daughter of the most high king. Kingdom Daughters was birthed from a place of me growing in my identity and realizing that I needed to be rooted and grounded in His love and move from that space.

In our busyness we can get lost in WHO we are or who we are SUPPOSEd to be. And be striving to be something by doing..instead of just being who God created us to be….which is His daughter!

You are loved deeply by your heavenly father and when you come FULLY to that realization and receive His love..then you can walk boldly into the calling He has for you! Without stress or striving or performance!

Boom bam.

I spent most of my life trying to earn a place in the kingdom. Thinking that I had to work and be a perfect christian to walk in freedom.

It wasn’t til I started to understand the depth of God’s love and His intention towards me that I realized I didn’t have to strive for perfection or perform a certain way to earn His love. I just had to be me.

Now side note to this…grace and love are a free gift…but that isn’t a free ride to live however you like. If you are in a deep loving relationship with God- by knowing Him and spending time with Him in His word, prayer and worship- then you will one be transformed in His presence and two have a desire to live your life in honor and praise….your actions will reflect the worship..ya know?

Anyway…. I’m telling you right now that there is freedom from walking in the knowledge that no matter what I DO, as long as I am choosing to seek Him first of course, He will always love me because He created me, sees and knows me and loves me for who I am and not what I do. Boomshakala lol

So I just have a few points to help with this topic…just to encourage you in this belief system!!

Scripture: Romans 8:16-17 – “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, …”

Key Points:

1. You are adopted and chosen. You’re not a servant—you're a daughter with full access to the Father.- isn’t this awesome! We are heiresses to the kingdom!

• We can approach His throne boldly
  Ephesians 3:12: "In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence

-Hebrews 4:16: "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need

1. Now that you know these beautiful truths(and I suggest listening back to some of the earlier podcasts if you haven’t already to really dive into some of the scripture on identity!)

Living as royalty means reflecting your Father.

When we truly know who we are in Jesus we should speak, think, and act from a place of kingdom authority.-

This comes from spending time with Him and knowing Him well so that you know how to reflect who H

The other day…I made a video…posted it yesterday. About waking up and not wanting to do my bible reading. I just didn’t feel like it. And I kept feeling the nudge to do something else instead… I LITERALLY had to battle myself and force myself to read.

Now was it a HUGE success because I read? Did God literally open the heavens and pour out fresh anointing because of my obedience? No.

Could I have been disappointed? Yes…was I? No. Because obediecnce it about the heart and because God asks it of me…not because of what I can get in return. Cause ultimately it isn’t about me.

There are a small group of us going through the Lisa Trk bible study on Monday’s and last night we were talking about King Hezekiah…and how he started out by doing the right things but because he was blessed he then turned it into thinking that HE had something to do with his blessings. He became boastful, proud and super self centered. We chatted about the fact that this is common and relatable.

I mean how many times have you tried to take credit for good things in your life that you KNOW God did? I know i’ve done it..I’ve got both hands raised right now cause I’m double guilty!

It’s human nature to make things about ‘me’ instead of God or others.

That is where choice comes in. The choice to choose reading yoru Bible even when you don’t feel like it. Even when the earth doesn’t shake or you feel emotional after reading. The choice to build your spiritual muscles through discipline even if you don’t hear form God right away or see the difference over night- just like any other muscle right?

Hebrews 12:11

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things

Toxic thoughts are bad because- neuroscience actually proves that negative events actually imprint on our brains more quickly and linger longer then positive events-

Example- what spreads faster on social media? Negative or positive events? What about in the news?

The mind governed by the flesh is death but the mind governed by the spirit is life and peace.

Romans 12:2

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will." (NIV)

Philippians 4:8

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (ESV)

1. Pay attention- what does your thought process look like? Do you find yourself spiraling quickly? Or are you able to catch yourself in the midst of a toxic thought and slow down the spiraling process?

2. Practice gratitude

3. Focus on the present- not the past or what is to come- enjoy the moments right in front of you.

Worry and anxiety come when we are worreid about tomorrow or stuck in the past

4. Actively replace the negative with the positive- this is NOT manifestation- although I believe that was first biblical but the world has twisted it all up. When we are using manifestation to take credit for the things that are happening around us then we are using it the worlds way.

We have choices about how we think and act on those thoughts, and maybe we will find success by speaking life over ourselves through manifestation….like I said it’s a biblical principle cause God created us and our minds very uniquely, but ultimately our strongest move will be to partner with God and HIS word instead of trying to do it on our own.

What are you going to decide to do with those negative thoughts today? Are you going to partner with them and let them take root in your heart? Are you going to except them as truth or make a decision to get rid of those thoughts and partner with better ideas about yourself- threw God’s word and what He says?

Ps. 121

I lift up my eyes to the mountains- where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip- He who watches over you will not slumber;

in deed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you- the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

the sun will not harm you by day nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm- He will watch over you life:

The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

God watches over us and gives us 24 hour protection! Woot!!
