This has been weighing on my heart lately guys. Because I’ve been struggling lately with a lot of pain, anxiety and depression and things that enemy want to use to make me feel separated from God. I not only want to use this group to help myself in my spiritual growth but God willing I want to help others too! I want to be used by God to grow the kingdom and save lives! But something has been weighing on my heart. We say we want freedom we say we want growth but are you taking the steps forward you need to? Are you putting in the work? Because if your not don’t expect change. Don’t act surprised or confused when you aren’t growing. And I’m not saying this to call anyone out I myself have struggled with this. Im saying all this for the people who need that wake up call who need that push! I’m writing this as a declaration to in front of my brothers and my God! I’m done saying I’m going to change I'm done waiting I’m standing up tall and proclaiming I’m ready to put in the work I’m ready for change! I’m done saying I’m ready to start doing! Who’s with me? Who’s with God? Who here is really ready to change? Who is ready to hold each other accountable in a loving way for growth! Because I know I am! And I hope you are too! We are brothers in Christ! And I have no doubt God put all of us together for a reason! But are you willing and ready to change for the kingdom for each other? Because when you change you aren’t only saving yourself you now have the opportunity to save countless others! I love you all God bless you guys!🙏🕊️🙏🕊️

It can be hard to forgive other people, the pain, the suffering they’ve caused you and you wanna hold it against them but if we don’t forgive people, we build up anger, hatred, and other evil emotions inside of our body we also tend to judge them and God tells us do not judge one another for a few judges someone I will judge you the same now that doesn’t mean you have to trust the person because trust is a lot different than forgiveness. You can forgive someone but not trust them forgiveness sets you free and God has forgiven us of all of our sin and evilness so who are we to judge others of their wrong. But I didn’t write this necessarily talk about forgiving others forgiving yourself and loving yourself is one of the hardest things that someone can do at least I think so especially when it comes to lust and porn and masturbation because you feel so much shame and guilt when it comes to it It can be a secret you hide behind people’s back. It can be a lie you tell others, but when it comes to it at least for me I feel so much guilt and shame like how could I allow myself to fall into it but mindset like that makes us think. How can I be loved which affects our relationship relationships with family, friends partner How can God forgive me of this evil act and still love me which causes us to grow away from him look at me I’m a failure. I can’t even help myself which digs us deep deeper into the hole of depression and lust it causes us to lose confidence to not stand up when we believe in and right into the enemy hands we are all made in the image of God. God is loved and forgive, us or identity is in Jesus Christ we are made perfectly in his image we are beautiful creatures of our loving God and no matter what our Lord never leaves and always forgives us all identity is in Jesus Christ and because of that I can love my identity. I can love myself. I can forgive my self because my Lord has forgiven me

Life can suck we can go through a lot of hard things that hurt things that feel like breaking into tears things that test are faith. I’ve had a good amount of times like in the video while I was breaking down I told God I put all my trust in you, but why is this happening to me and it hurt it felt like I was alone like I had no one there I felt l compelled to post this. gentlemen if you ever feel this way, never hesitate to reach out you are not a burden You are not a problem We’re here to support and love on each other to hold each other accountable be there for each other‘s highs and be there for each other‘s lows The hardest thing is at least for me is admitting when I’m hurt and not feeling like a burden on people, it’s so easy for the enemy to fill our heads with the lies that were men were supposed to be held to a certain standard and not to be a burden on someone, but if you feel this way ever never hesitate to reach out you’re not a burden you’re not a problem you’re hurting you are loved and there are people here for you. God bless you all. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this group and always remember You’re made in the image of God!

I know we all have been through a lot of hard stuff in our lives I had a really rough childhood I asked God for a lot of things God has given me so much more than I’ll ever deserve He gave me my reason to smile back he gave me my reason to keep on living we ask God for a lot of things, but when we ask God for things, he knows how to give it to us We don’t always understand I asked God for patience and to keep my anger down that might look like a bad day at work coworkers and customers getting upset for no reason, gives me the opportunity to practice that patient I was asking for something not going my way or spilling absolute garbage all over myself because the trash bag wasn’t tied or there was a hole in It might be an opportunity to practice not to get upset at anyone are used to look at life Why is this happening to me thanks to God I now take a look at how can God use this to improve me? I love to watch as God narrows all of us as we grew closer to him as he narrows our eyesight from how we think our prayers should be answered too how it looks to a more biblical and Christlike outlook on it cause once we start doing that we can look at every opportunity or something that just randomly pops up as something that was sent from God to help us or something the enemy tried to throw in there to distract us from the way God is leading us and we might not know how we need Our prayers to be answered We just want them answered to our specific way thankfully we serve a merciful gracious, giving Lord, who knows exactly what we need and he gives us every opportunity to grow with him each and every day thank you Jesus for being here with each and every one of us thank you Jesus for pushing this group towards you thank you Jesus for leading this group in a way that only you can thank you Jesus for Victor and the other members thank you Jesus for teaching us thank you, Jesus!
