Hey girl, we’re your hosts, Iz
And Zi.
And welcome or welcome back to the Forever GodGirl podcast.
In today's episode we will talk about what God says about you.
This is so important so that we can distinguish what God says about us versus what the devil
says about us or what the world says about us and the importance of what we say about
ourselves.
In Philippians chapter 4 verse 8 it says, 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.
Our thought life determines the way we live our life.
That's right.
If we are thinking about things that are good and pure, then our actions are going to represent
that.
However, if we're thinking about things that aren't good or thinking negatively about ourselves,
then we're going to be very insecure people.
So shallow.
But with all that being said, how do I come back these negative thoughts or intrusive thoughts
that I don't even think about?
We all get those weird intrusive thoughts sometimes because we all get about 6,000 thoughts
in our heads every single day.
But we have to make sure that they're good thoughts and when we do have the bad thoughts,
we take them captive.
We make sure we bring it to Christ so that they don't slip away because if we let them
slip away, then we're going to think, oh, that was a weird thought and then it's going
to come back.
And before you know it, you're thinking about the same thing every single day.
And you are what you think.
One way to combat the devil is saying, I repeat that in Jesus' name for I am the righteousness
of God.
And when we say it, we say it with authority because when we are saved and when we have
the Holy Spirit, when we pray according to God's will, we have authority in our prayers.
And all you just need to say is Jesus is the name above all names.
And Jesus is the shortest prayer ever.
The devil will try to influence us in many different ways and not just our thought life,
sometimes he'll try to influence us through our friends, even our family and most definitely
our foes.
For he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
And remember, God made you fearfully and wonderfully made, that means you're perfect.
Sometimes when we listen to the lies of the devil, we tend to believe it.
But God does not want us to believe it.
He wants us to believe in his word, for the word is active, alive and breathing.
In 1 John 1-8, it says, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
When we believe the truth that's in his scripture, it starts to outweigh the lies that the devil
tries to feed it to us.
Because when we believe those lies, the things we start to say about ourselves isn't so
nice anymore.
And sometimes what Satan does is that he uses our past to make us think that, oh God doesn't
want us, but it's actually the opposite.
God wants us, even if we had such a broken or embarrassing or humiliating past.
So many people nowadays struggle with overthinking, and that's because they're getting so caught
up in the lies that Satan tells them, that the world tells them, and the stuff that they
believe about themselves.
And they have so many of those bad thoughts that it's hard for them to come to Christ.
But we don't want to be caught up in that cycle, because when we are caught up in that
cycle, we can't hear the voice of God.
Just like a computer or a phone goes on overload, we can go on overload too.
But God says that when we come to Him, we can put all our burdens at His feet.
We can put all those heavy thoughts, everything that we're thinking about that weighs us down.
We can give them to Him, because He's all powerful and He takes care of us.
And He also forgives us, and He loves us deeply.
And when we think that God holds our sin against us, remember this.
Micah 7 verse 19 says, He cast all our sins in the depths of the sea.
Time for our special segment with Iz and Zi.
And today's special segment, our question is, who wiped Jesus' feet with her hair?
1.
Mary Magdalene 2.
Mary of Bethany or 3.
Mary the mother of Jesus?
What do you think, Zi?
I say it is Mary of Bethany.
Is that your final answer?
Yep.
I even have the source to prove it.
John 12 verse 3.
Hmm, okay.
Well, you are right.
Yes!
Thank you Jesus.
That was a pretty good segment, right Zi?
Of course.
But now we have to go on something a little bit deeper, because this podcast episode is
great and all, but you won't be able to actually experience the Holy Spirit, and this message
won't actually help you until you have salvation.
So if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then this message will help
you.
But if you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then I invite you to give
your heart to the Lord today, to receive Him into your heart.
Go to Romans 10, 9 through 10.
It says that, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart,
that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
If you said this prayer with sincerity, you are saved, and now have eternal life with
Jesus.
You are saved from all your sins, past, present, and future sins you may commit.
Now, this truth is not a free pass to sin anytime.
Instead, Jesus gives you power over all wrong choices, and empowers you to spread the gospel
to others.
You are saved forever, and your name is written in the book of life.
Did you just give your heart to the Lord?
If you did, give yourself a pat on the back.
We are so incredibly proud of you.
Anyways, thank you so much for listening to this podcast episode.
We hope it helped you, and we hope that you learned something.
And remember, Jesus loves you the most.
