JACQ TALK

I haven’t written here in awhile but as I’m headed up North on a road trip, I finally have time to put into words something that has been on my mind for quite sometime and thought I’d share.

*** READ the verse in the attached image first. All the way til the end.

Addiction, Anger, Jealousy, Lust, Fear, Aniiety, Insecurity, Alcoholism, Rage, Gluttony.. and so much more. All of them to me, being a Christian, are a direct link to an evil spirit attached to you/us! And if your evil spirt isn’t listed, add it. Hopefully, this makes sense and you’ll get the point.

There is a couple verses in the Bible (Matthew 12: 43-45) that a dear friend showed me and it smacked me square in the face. Not only dealing with my own demons but witnessing those that I love most, battling their own.

So here’s what this verse means…

Let’s take Addiction, whatever that looks like to you. You have finally rid yourself from it. Your mind, body and soul are refreshed from this “demon” attached to you. You have cleansed yourself of it and are finally free.

BUT then… it comes back searching for the tiniest crack to squeeze in (what I like to call temptation). It always shows up at your weakest moment and slides back in, finds your house (your body) clean. So it goes and grabs 7 of its friends (evil spirits) only to slide through the back door, take up residency and trash your home. (Your entire self). Leaving it so much worse than before.

Then you are not only left off 7 times worse than before but with a HUGE mess to clean up. What I call, consequences. Scares me to death!

With that said, I have to shut the door, lock it and guard it with every bit of my might. Fill it with absolutely nothing but God’s word and his love.

As for me, this is THE ONLY THING that protects me and for this reason, me and my household will ALWAYS serve the Lord.

Hope this helps you or someone else you know that is struggling with demons. I know this to be TRUTH and factual according to my own experiences. ❤️

Last, never forget… YOU can do all things (like fight these battle) through Christ who strengthens YOU!

Say it out loud! “I can stop (fill in the blank) through Christ who strengthens me!” It works!!! At least for me ☺️

They say they don’t understand it but I wonder, in what language does a child cry? 🤔

I made a mental note to cut this out and frame it for my office. It may seem like commonsense for some but for me, it’s words to live by! 🩷

#1 If I don’t map out the day, I start off lost.
#2 When I start off with the small stuff, I’m frustrated when the kids get home because I never made it to the BIG stuff.
#3 Being flexible is something we all need to work on!!! I’m certain of that.
#4 Learn to Delegate. I SUCK at it! I’m definitely a clinger. NOT MY WHEELHOUSE! Need to learn!
