Don’t Give Up

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.

God Needs You

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

“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!

I’m still wrecked by what I experienced this weekend at the North Georgia Revival. I cannot recommend this revival enough. The old is gone and the new has come. I cannot explain the healing I received and the fire that burns in me to share the gospel. Already today the Lord used me to pray with a friend and she was set free!! Get to the revival and if you cannot get there then get in the Lord’s presence. Run to Him. He wants to touch you personally. He wants to free you from every wrong thought, fear, insecurity, illness, stronghold, etc. He is waiting for you! He loves you more than you could ever imagine. We want more and more of you Lord!!

Enjoy this song I’ve been listening to all week by Bryan & Katie Torwalt, My Hallelujah.

I would love to hear your voice!

In this virtual world we live in today I’ve come to realize (personally!!) how desperate we are for real life conversation and connection. Recently I went through a season of feeling isolated and lonely. When working from home you can experience disconnection and even emptiness at times. I found myself longing for more conversation and connection and that’s why I created a FREE monthly conference call to connect with my virtual friends … with YOU!!!

Once a month I will be hosting a live conference call to bring my virtual friends together for real life conversation and connection. Each month I will do a brief reading from my book Worthy of a Miracle, 5 Simple Truths for Believing and Receiving God’s Love, lead us in prayer and then open it up for conversation. The goal is for us to grow together in our relationship with God and connect with each other through conversation!

God said it was not good for man to be alone (Gen. 2:18) and decided to give Adam some company, so He created Eve and that’s where community began in our world.

If you’d like to join me for my FREE November Conversation & Connection Call I’d love for you to join me! Mark your calendar for November 18 at 7pm EST. for this call.

Overcome Anxiety & Depression

One way to overcome anxiety and depression is to shift your focus. Joyce Meyer has said many times to “get yourself off your mind” and believe it or not, this actually can work! A few months ago when I was with my daughter and she was struggling with feeling a little anxious and a little blah, we came across a gentlemen in a wheelchair on the side of the road. His wheelchair was electric and needed to be charged. He was rolling back into traffic and was going to get hit. My daughter stopped her car and I jumped out to help him up the hill. Long story short, we helped him and gave him money to treat himself because he was having a challenging day. To my surprise my daughter’s mood shifted and all her anxiety and blahs had disappeared.

James 2:14-17 says, “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

When we use faith and action together we can move forward. We pray in faith for the Lord to remove our depression and anxiety, and God’s word encourages us in our faith to accompany it with action. What better way to activate our faith than by getting out there and helping another. Is there someone you can help today? Take notice how you feel afterwards. You will be amazed at how much lighter your mood will be.
