MENTAL WELLNESS # 3 ARMOR

LAST ONE. For NOW.. MENTAL ILLNESS/WELLNESS
#3 ARMOR OF GOD
Go back and read 1 and 2 if you haven't, about Shame and Intimacy! This is the more Meaty Post because the Bible is important.
………………………………………………………..
FAITH is a powerful thing, it’s a gift given to us (Eph. 2:10), and it’s also our shield (Eph. 6), but sometimes when we don’t feel something, we become discouraged. Feeling isn’t our truth, our experiences don’t define truth. The word promises that God never leaves us, his love for us never fails, THAT is the truth. And I will hold onto it no matter what I am feeling, because the reality is my feelings tell me I need to realign myself with truth.
Let’s go deeper into the ARMOR of GOD.

1.Shame
2.Intimacy
3.Armor
Excited for this second part of Mental Illness/Wellness. If you have not seen the first post about Shame, I highly encourage you to go read it!
I got a lot of feedback from my last painting, thank you for all your kind comments! But, my heart was more drawn to the fact that so many of us have been going through this silent battle in our mind and heart.
You are not alone.
You don't have to be silent, anymore.

We need to realize that Satan is real. There is too much evidence of darkness and a dark being throughout history to say that he's not. We need to acknowledge that God is real, through time and history, darkness and light, beings of creation and darkness have fought. But Adonai, Father God, Jesus, has fought for your soul, your heart, your mind.And light wins every time.
However, even if we live in a village, a kingdom, a body that has been "saved", that is deemed a worthy citizen, our mind can still be clouded and we can still be battling lies and feeling worthless and purposeless. Timothy in the Bible must have, that's why Paul wrote to him and said hold on to all of the amazing promises over your life, hold on to words your Father spoke over you, things that you are capable of and inside of you, because when you loose sight of vision, and presence, you lose sight of you, and Him, and life.
