Real Dudes,
Below is a passage that someone shared with me. A passage and reminder that has helped him through what was posted in the previous blog about Identity and Destiny. Enjoy, Nate Acts 13:38-39 (NLT) “Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. 39 Everyone who believes in him is made right in God’s sight—something the law of Moses could never do.

Identity and Destiny…how do I view myself, and where or who can I turn to with this self-assessment?6/1/2023 Real Dudes,
Do you often find yourself wrestling with some toxic thoughts that continue to replay over and over in your head? What are some ways in which you’ve attempted to deal with such poisonous thoughts in the past? I chose a few songs listed below that I can relate with on occasion…can you also relate to the following experiences or questions that these lyrics point out as you have conversations with yourself inside your own head?
I suggest we lean into God…make Him our go-to. Find Him in His Word, in prayer, and in wise-council…listen and apply. I pray that this is when you’ll discover who He says you are from His perspective, and where or who He encourages you to turn to. Some encouraging songs/lyrics that can also help us refocus on our true identity and destiny are the following… No Longer Slaves by Jonathan David and Melissa Helser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8TkUMJtK5k Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cKm_mYVPQE Who You Say I am by Hillsong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKw6uqtGFfo You Say by Lauren Daigle https://life1019.com/songs/you-say/ Where could I go but to the Lord by the Heritage Singers https://heritagesingers.com/track/450216/where-could-i-go-but-to-the-lord Running to the Light by Brandon Lake https://www.google.com/search?q=song+run+to+the+light&oq=song+run+to+the+light&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l2j33i299l2j33i22i29i30l5.3110j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:bd01dc7a,vid:f0EDCp6lOwI Men…please feel free to share with me any particular songs and or verses from God’s Word that have proven to help you through such times in your life. Just maybe they could help someone else in need today as well. Would love to read what you have to suggest. We’re in this together! Practicing His Presence, Nate What is God doing in your heart right now? How should you respond?
Styles of Communication, Part 11 of 12 I ask you to please…
Now that you’ve taken all this information in, it’d be a great idea to spend some time alone with Lord in prayer. Styles of Communication, Part 12 of 12 I ask you to please…
If you heed His Words, then what rewards are there for doing so?
Styles of Communication, Part 9 of 12. This was probably one of my favorites throughout this study. Jesus is someone Who used words that were full of hope and life-changing. If we only had more people today following that example, then just think about what kind of difference could that make in our homes, churches, and communities. May it begin with me... I ask you to please…
How do you know you can trust His Word? Styles of Communication, Part 10 of 12 I ask you to please…
What is God doing in your heart right now? How should you respond? I'll provide some suggestions next time for you to take into consideration. Why does God communicate in such blunt ways at times?
I ask you to please…
If you heed His Words, then what rewards are there for doing so? We'll take a look at a few of those rewards next time. |
