Don’t Give Up

Posted on by

I messed up. I mean really really messed up.

It’s one of those times when I took a long hard look at myself and saw my outright mess, rebellion and disobedience staring me face to face. How could I let it get to this point I ask myself?

Regret, shame, guilt, condemnation weighed heavy on my mind.

Ugh.

Can you relate? Have you ever had these same thoughts and feelings?

What do you do when you struggle with these kinds of emotions? Feelings that tell you how awful you are? Do agree with them? Do you have strength to fight them off? If you agree with these demeaning feelings, you’re only going to sink deeper and deeper in the pit of shame. But how in the world do you not allow these thoughts and feelings to control you?

This whole “feelings battle” is something that we will deal with our entire life. It is a war that never goes away and that is why we must learn how to fight it. To know how to fight effectively to win a battle it takes training. Also knowing the opponent you are fighting is key. It is when we don’t know who we are fighting that we are in great danger.

Recently after engaging with this “feelings battle” yet again, I found myself sinking quickly into that pit of shame. In the midst of all my emotions I allowed myself to wallow in them. I knew it was not a good place to be. After about 48 hours of letting myself agree with my feelings and sink deeper into the pit, I noticed even while in my misery I was still putting one foot in front of the other the whole time. I was fighting the battle even though I felt like I was falling deeper.

How was I actually fighting? I kept pursuing God through His word. It was not easy, and I did not immediately “feel” better. I still felt a heaviness of regret and shame through the process. But I did not quit. As I continued moving forward while feeling weighed down, God began showing me clearly, He was here with me every step of the way.

Text message, after text message were unexpectedly popping up left and right. Friends, mentors, clients, and even strangers were speaking life into me. They were speaking the very words of God to me to remind me that God loved me, and He was proud of me. God showed me through them that He was still using me for His divine purpose even in the middle of my mess. He showed me that His grace and forgiveness was irrevocable. That is what the blood covenant is all about.

Dear reader, I share this with you today to first encourage you. Don’t give up on yourself. God loves you and He will never reject you or give up on you. Extend the same love and grace to yourself as He does. Secondly, always remember you are in a battle and the enemy is sneaky trying to still your joy. Do not give him a foothold. Continue to fill your mind with truth every single day. READ THE BIBLE. Find ways to incorporate more scripture throughout your day. For example, download a bible app such as YouVersion on your phone that will notify you with a scripture verse for the day or place scripture around your home. Building a stronger intimate relationship with Christ doesn’t come by chance, it takes intention, but the rewards are far greater than anything you can dare to ask or imagine.

TAKE ACTION: Take the next 5 minutes to add scripture to your life. Place scripture around your home, download a Bible App or replace your phone screen saver with a verse. It’s the little things that will help you renew your mind and create deeper intimacy with Christ.

Seeing Jesus

Posted on by

How do you see Jesus? When you close your eyes, how do you visualize our teacher, our Rabbi, our healer, our friend, our King, our deliverer, our Savior?

For as long as I can remember when I think about being in the presence of Jesus, I see us walking together outside and taking time to sit down for an intimate conversation. He’s in a soft white robe. He has a radiance about him. Often times he takes me in his arms and hugs me with an indescribable love. His smile speaks a thousand words. It’s contagious. His eyes sparkle with joy, compassion, gentleness, and excitement. It’s like I’m looking into a deep sea of love.

When I’m with Jesus I feel loved. He is proud of me. He is overjoyed with every detail about me. I am perfect when I’m with him. I don’t need to change anything about me. When I’m settled in this place with Jesus, I am the most confident. I don’t question my value, my worth, my abilities, my purpose, or my life.

In the presence of Jesus, I rest.

It’s vital in growing our relationship with Christ that we take time to intentionally connect with Him visually, that we see Him with the eyes of our heart. Ephesians 1:18 tells us, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people”. This gives me unshakable confidence in myself and my identity when I see Him through the eyes of my heart.

I want to invite you today to set a timer for five minutes, close your eyes and spend time with Jesus. Be sure to have a journal nearby so you can write down anything you see or hear Him speaking to you. This is a great way to begin dialoging with God. And even if this is something that you’ve never done before or you think it’s not for you, I challenge you to go for it! You just might be surprised how Jesus shows up. He’s ready to meet with you friend. Enjoy building a deeper intimate relationship with Christ!

God Needs You

Posted on by

When I was journaling this week, I asked God, “What do you think about me?” His response was filled with such loving and sweet life-giving words that it made me feel seen, chosen, unique, and very needed in the world. As He spoke to me through pen on paper, His presence overwhelmed me with peace.

I continued to write in my journal, and I knew the words were not only for me, but for YOU, yes YOU dear reader. I believe God is speaking to you as you read these words right now and this is what He is longing for you to know …

Your life matters. Your voice matters. Your words matter. Your story matters. I need you. I need you to use all your unique gifts to reach the people I’ve chosen for you to reach. I need every child of mine to use their gifts so that I can speak through them. Every voice put together creates my megaphone to the world!

Friend, do you hear that God needs you? He needs me. He needs us to be His mouthpiece to the world.

One-way God often speaks to us is through an echo. When we hear something over and over that is a way God is speaking to us. For example, when you hear a message from a pastor or leader and later you find yourself in a conversation with a friend and you hear them repeating the same thing, that is God speaking and confirming His voice through the echo of another.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve compared yourself to so many others in the world. I’ve had thoughts like my voice really doesn’t matter or look at how successful they are, little ole me is not “that important”. Can you relate? Well friend, that is just not true. Those are lies the enemy likes to whisper in our ear. The truth is, we do matter and God needs us! It is a great big world and God needs every single one of us on the battlefield speaking life and love into others.

So my friend, what will you do with this revelation? I want to invite you to grab a journal and ask God. Maybe begin by writing out one of these questions to Him:

God, what do you think about me?

God, what gifts do you see in me?

God, whose life do I need to speak into today?

After writing out a question to God, continue writing. He will speak to you. I recently finished the book Dialog With God: Opening The Door To Two-Way Prayer in my KINEO Ministry Training Class. I highly recommend it to learn more about journaling with God.

I pray this blog post excites you in your relationship with God and inspires you to connect with Him today. He loves nothing more than communing with you.

I’ve taken a break from writing blog post for a pretty long time but have felt prompted by the Holy Spirit (echoing over and over!) it is time to write. The purpose of my website is to be a place of love and encouragement in building a stronger intimate relationship with Christ. I want to thank you for being a part of this community at lindakuhar.com and I hope you’ll share it with others.

They Rejected Me

Posted on by

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20

I’ll never forget the day I sat heartbroken, defeated, embarrassed, ashamed, and rejected. I could not believe what I was hearing. “Linda, you are not enough.” In a world I gave my entire heart to, I was then rejected.

I cried for weeks asking God why? Why did they do this to me? What did I do to deserve this?

As I walked away from the scene of what felt like hell that day, I remember wanting nothing more than to crawl in a hole and never come out. Everything I believed to be true appeared as a lie.

Would I ever be able to trust again?

The war raged in my mind, heart and soul.

Years later as I relive the above scene in my mind, I’m not going to lie to you, it still hurts. It still leaves me scratching my head and asking did that really happen?

Even though to this very day I wrestle at times with mixed emotions of betrayal I do have peace within my spirit.

You might wonder how do I have peace within after being hurt so badly?

Honestly, if it were not for such rejection and heartache, I would have never found a TRUE relationship with Jesus. It is because of the turmoil of rejection that threw me into the arms of my Savior. I would not trade the MIRACLE that happened during that season of devastation for everything I own.

You see at that point in my life I was struggling with God just being words on a page and a Sunday church service. I needed Him to become real to me. I could no longer just quote a scripture or listen to a sermon to get me filled up and be okay. I desperately needed a real life encounter with the Living God and that is what I got! (read Worthy of a Miracle, Chapter 12 for details)

After having a hands on, tangible real life encounter with the Living God, I’ve never been the same. Still to this very day I experience the Lord tangibly every single day of my life. He is no longer words on a page, I physically experience His presence living from within me and encounter the MIRACLE of God inside me.

Dear reader, I am here to tell you that no matter what nightmare you are facing God is ready to do a MIRACLE in your life. However, there is only one requirement of you. You must fully surrender; you must get desperate enough to fall into the arms of Jesus. He is waiting and ready to do far beyond anything you could ever ask or imagine.

PRAY: Heavenly Father, thank you for your presence. Thank you for your unconditional love and relentless pursuit of us to be in relationship with you. Thank you God that you take everything the enemy tries to use for harm in our lives and you turn it to good! You make miracles out of heartbreak. Thank you that we are never rejected by you but are always loved and accepted. Holy Spirit fill us to overflow. We lean in and press into you. We desire all of you. We desire signs, wonders and miracles in our lives right here, right now. Thank you Jesus. We love you and adore you. It is by your stripes Jesus we are healed, whole, worthy, and enough. It is in your name Jesus we pray. Amen.

I get on my knees and raise my hands to this song, My Hallelujah when I’m feeling rejected. Praise is how to fight every battle we face!

Do You Need Healing?

Posted on by

I’ve shared with you in the past how I’ve personally struggled with anxiety, depression and negative thoughts. I am here to tell you that you do not have to struggle with the same lies I struggle with. Lies of I’m not good enough, I’m never going to be good enough, lies of insecurity, unworthiness, etc. Friends, I have been set free, truly delivered from that mindset and belief. In all honesty I know that it was spiritual what I was dealing with.

As a child early on I partnered and agreed with those lies and negative thoughts. For example, I didn’t think I was smart so I agreed and started calling myself stupid. I carried that all through adulthood. Just over this past year have I really been set free from the lies and insecurities.

Psalm 30:2 says, “Lord my God I called to you for help and you healed me” and Psalm 30:11 tells us “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.” and that is exactly what God has done in my life.

When I truly called out to the Lord, he set me free! I prayed, “Lord, I no longer stand in agreement and partner with these lies that I’m not good enough. I tell those things to go in the name of Jesus.” I prayed, “lying spirit go in the name of Jesus, unworthiness go in the name of Jesus, insecurity go in the name of Jesus, I no longer partner with those and I choose to partner with you Lord and who you say I am. I am worthy. I am loved. I have nothing to fear.”

And guess what? Today there is no longer insecurity in me. I simply have joy and freedom!

After praying such a simple heartfelt prayer, I have been fully delivered. Today I invite you in to pray with me and after this video, continue in prayer if there is anything that you’ve been holding onto. There is power and freedom in Jesus. I promise!

Where to Start Reading the Bible?

Posted on by

Hi! I’m Linda Kuhar your Christian Life Coach. The purpose of my videos is to share my personal relationship with God in hopes that it helps you build a stronger more intimate with relationship with him.

I would love to hear from you with any questions you might have about having a relationship with the Lord and I will answer them in my videos. Email your questions to linda@lindakuhar.com or leave a comment below. For some great resources to help you connect with God CLICK HERE!

You might wonder how to read the bible or where to start reading in the bible. There are a few places I encourage you to start. The book of John is a great place because it shares more about Jesus as a person and what he did so it helps you connect with the fact that he understands all that you are going through. The book of Romans shares the gospel of Jesus or the teachings of Jesus’ life. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety or fears I recommend the book of Psalms. And last but not least Proverbs is an excellent book to read for wisdom or guidance for your every day life.

One Healthy Habit that Changed My Life

Posted on by

As a 42-year-old woman I can honestly say I’ve spent at least half of my life or more attempting to find ways to be “healthy”. Like most people I start something new and think I’m going to stick with it this time and then fall off the wagon at some point and find myself at square one all over again.

On top of all the try again stop again yo-yoing; I end up feeling bad about myself while negative self-talk and defeating thoughts begin to weigh me down.

Can you relate?

But something dawned on my recently after a spiritual retreat I hosted. For the last twenty plus years I’ve practiced one healthy habit through ever trial, heartache, triumph and victory that has consistently brought me to better health. And with this practice I can honestly say I would not be the person I am today without it. It’s something that I don’t do every single day of my life, but it is something I reach for in times of deep struggle, frustration, anxiety and in times of reflection, hope, prayer, planning and dreaming.

The one healthy habit that continues to change my life and has for years is journaling.

There is no specific way to journal, it’s simply picking up a pen and putting it to paper. It can be one word or hundreds of words. You simply let your heart, mind and emotions lead you. I want to encourage you that even if you’re someone who does not like to write, you must give it a try!

I promise this is one new healthy habit that will propel you forward beyond anything you can imagine. Grab a journal and pen today!

I would love to hear from you. Leave me a comment and let me know one of your healthy habits.

Politics + Social Media = Love {and a BOOK GIVEAWAY!}

Posted on by

Have you been struggling with all the negativity in social media around politics?

It literally makes me feel every possible emotion within seconds! Angry, mad, sad, happy, excited, hopefully, discouraged, disgusted … basically crazy.

The other week after the women’s march the very next morning I woke up asking how can I make a difference? My heart’s desire is to be like Jesus and sincerely love all people through compassion. But how do I honestly live this out each day with so much pain in the world, I questioned? Before I opened my bible I asked God to show me what to do and this is the scripture that spoke to my soul.

“The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8

I thought, in order for me to be clear minded I must not fill my mind with negativity. And to be self controlled I must not remain in situations that influence me to make poor decisions. To truly love others deeply I must stay connected to God through intentional prayer. So last week instead of reading social media I used that time to read God’s word and pray for ALL people.

To be honest with you this stretched me. It was hard for me not to turn to social media to find out the latest update on all the drama in the world. However, by the end of the week I realized how much peace I felt.

I felt lighter. Less stressed. More patient. Simply hopeful.

Hopeful because I know that no matter how different our opinions are in this life, God is ultimately in control. I am confident there is no need to fear because the battle is already won. Victory is on my side no matter what political party I stand for. Jesus wins! I can rest in pure love.

So when I hop back on social media, I have decided to look at it through God’s eyes … LOVE. When I feel the opposite arise in me, I will simply hit the off button and pray. It is time to live out what I believe, not by merely reading God’s word but doing God’s word. God’s word is a very clear and detailed on how I must love others and while it’s not a piece of cake to implement, I can do it!

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Holy Spirit I pray for you to do a work in my heart so that I can make a difference. Give me strength to choose your ways over my ways. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
