Rise Up

Living with and loving someone with unwanted sexual behavior (whether past or present) can be very painful and can sometimes lead to dark places. Satan knows just how to attack each of us individually. He wants us to feel hopeless and helpless. 

The most powerful way to fight back against Satan is to turn to our Savior. Christ wants us each to Rise Up and receive His Light into our lives. He wants us to live in His light and feel hopeful, even in hard times.

IN MICAH 7:8 IT SAYS, “REJOICE NOT AGAINST ME, O MINE ENEMY: WHEN I FALL, I SHALL ARISE; WHEN I SIT IN DARKNESS, THE LORD SHALL BE A LIGHT UNTO ME”.

 Restored

There is so much damage that can be done to each of our souls in life. Many times it feels like the damage we have experienced is too deep to ever be healed. But there is hope. ALWAYS hope. This hope can be found through Christ and the restoration He offers to each of us. 

To restore something means bring it back to the original state. BUT the biblical meaning of the word “restoration” is different. True restoration through Christ has greater connotations that go above and beyond the dictionary definition. It is “to receive back more than has been lost to the point where the final state is GREATER than the original condition”.  

Being restored by Christ means that YOU can be healed beyond measure.

HE HEALETH THE BROKEN IN HEART, AND BINDETH UP THEIR WOUNDS. PSALM 147:3 KJV

Andra Day’s song “Rise Up” is a reminder to each of us that we are not alone, we can rise up, and we can move mountains in our lives

You're broken down and tired

Of living life on a merry go round

And you can't find the fighter

But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out

And move mountains

We gonna walk it out

And move mountains

And I'll RISE UP

I'll rise like the day

I'll RISE UP

I'll rise unafraid

I'll RISE UP

And I'll do it a thousand times again

And I'll RISE UP

High like the waves

I'll RISE UP — In spite of the ache

~“Rise Up” by Andra Day~
