I for one struggle with something always making me sick in body, and the devil knows that what I am doing for God, I will have a victory in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">I have had the flu a few times, I\u2019ve had the shingles, mini stroke, where my speech was effected and oxygen to my brain, I have had black mold poisoning, I have had stomach bacteria, I have had nervous problems, I fell in the front yard and hurt my left leg, issues with my left hip I have a 1\u201d gap in my left hip which causes back pain because of the sciatica and lumbar damage. I have weird feelings in my head allot, have had bad sinus infections , asthma attacks which I couldn\u2019t breathe, or speak\u2013 which didn\u2019t help the mini \u2013 stroke my asthma kicked in same time I was having a mini \u2013 stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">All these things above happened to me health wise. This is not counting all the computer issues I have had trying to stop me from doing what God wants me to do, what I feel He wants me to do. Computer issues, left and right and it was like they wasn\u2019t stopping. There were hard drive problems, motherboard problems, many problems, never can get anything done, or accomplished \u2013\u2013 this isn\u2019t counting family problems with all the fussing and all that goes on, and trying to come into my house, I sit and try hard to keep people talking and together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">I am always in between and I thought I was doing the right thing, by my moving back to be near to my mother, cause her health is bad. But , with all these problems all the issues , I don\u2019t always feel my best, I don\u2019t always feel worthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">But, I am down allot, depressed tired worn out and stressed always thinking I should\u2019ve stayed in Mississippi.

I still struggle with feeling unworthy but I know I am worthy to God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Just like Mephibosheth, he had a poor image of himself, he called himself a <b>\u201cdead dog\u201d<\/b> <strong>2 Samuel 9:8<\/strong>. He always did what I was doing, looking down on himself and feeling so unworthy. Mephisbosheth instead of him seeing himself as the heir of Jonathan (King David\u2019s covenant friend) he only seen himself as someone who would be rejected. If, he didn\u2019t he would have already gone to the palace, way before to claim the inheritance which was waiting for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">I wouldn\u2019t say I struggle as bad as\u00a0 Mephisbosheth, but I do struggle, I still am in strong faith and I know God will help me get done what I feel He wants me to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">But, having a poor self image causes us to operate in ways we don\u2019t like. We are always looking at what&#8217;s wrong with us, and not looking at the right with Jesus. Jesus, has, He has taken all of our wrongness <b>and our poor self-images we feel, and our feeling of unworthiness and gives us His Righteousness. 2 Corinthians 5:21<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">I am learning everyday that not just me but all of us need to walk in reality of the truth that Jesus has rescued us!

He will never leave me or forsake me. I and we have a covenant with God and it\u2019s sealed, and it\u2019s up to us in how it gets delivered but, by the Blood of Jesus, it\u2019s our\u2019s and there is not one thing the devil can do to take it away, only if we allow Him to, but the devil\u2019s not getting mine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Blood Covenant is an always will be, and it\u2019s one you can\u2019t crack \u2013\u2013 and it\u2019s one which was made between two parties.
