Yup! I am just going to fling it out there! I used to fear being laughed at, judged, turned away from, and the like, if I had the balls to stand up for Jesus!
How did I overcome it, you ask? I got brave…
How did I get brave? I got serious about speaking the truth…
How did I get serious? I burned out…
I burned out in the church, I burned out as a mother, I burned out being a plaything to others…
Then I quit! I told God to screw off!
I ran into the wilderness, where no one knew His name so I need not speak of Him…
I found myself in a place where the only name that would come to my lips was His…
The enemy knew His name, just as I did…
When I shouted out of my God, the earth shook and the enemy fled…
I am a terrible judge of character in people and it has cost me almost all of ME…
I speak the name of God everywhere I go, because if you stay, then I feel safe in His name, His presence…
If I speak of God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, you should only feel good after our encounter…
If not, then go…
I will still speak of Him for you…
I will stand in the gap…
for HIM!
Ugh… I still bristle at being told how I “should” feel… regardless of the facts or situation. But I’m glad you’re able to speak of God without fear. 😊
