It's easy to go through life holding on to things that are weighing you down. Guilt. Resentment. Doubt. Worry. The problem is when you allow these things in, they're taking up space for the good things that should be there. Imagine your life is like a container. You were created to be filled with joy, peace, confidence, creativity. But if you allow worry, shame, and other negativity in, it pushes out good thoughts.
Life is too short to go through it with negative things holding you down.
The Scripture says, "Give no place to the enemy." Give no place to worry. Give no place to bitterness. You control what's in your container. You control what you think about, what you choose to allow in. Every morning when you wake up, you need to empty out anything negative from the day before. Empty Out the Negative will help you disregard the ridiculing voices in your head and instead hear God and his grace. Empty out the negative, and God will fill you with good.
This chronicle unfolds the journey of a girl who found her destiny
and purpose under threat. Almost drowned by insecurities, guilt,
bitterness, the struggle to forgive self and move forward, she
encountered a Father who refused to give up on her despite the
circumstances. It is a memoir about finding hope and freedom from
the chains that bind us and keep us from our purpose and destinies,
tackling issues that are often brushed off yet deeply affect us and
influence the decisions we make. It highlights the hazardous
effects of unattended wounds that affect our lives in undesirable
manners. This is not a physical battle but one of the mind, heart
and spirit. This is a personal experience that continues to
encourage us that the courage is in getting up and getting out,
whilst the faith is in taking the journey into an unknown place yet
fully trusting that God Almighty is directing our paths and will
not forsake us.
Leader of the popular women's ministry She Speaks Fire, Mariela
Rosario shares her story of abandonment and drug use to emphasize
her powerful message of overcoming shame so that readers can
embrace their purpose and live boldly in the love of Jesus. In She
Speaks Fire, spoken word poet Mariela Rosario vulnerably shares her
testimony of being abandoned as a child, which led to intense
people pleasing and subsequent drug use. Then, alone in her house
in 2015, she experienced a miraculous encounter with God that
prompted her to turn away from those damaging patterns and begin
attending church. As her relationship with Jesus deepened, she
launched a full-time ministry, She Speaks Fire, which helps other
women face their past failures and overcome feelings of shame so
that they, too, can live fully and unapologetically for God and
walk in their God-given purpose. Unpacking the biblical story of
the garden of Eden in Genesis, Rosario reveals the seven areas
where shame did not exist in the garden, which are the exact areas
where believers are spiritually attacked today: Communion with God
Identity in God Community with others Purpose or work Dependence on
God Affirmation in or by God Boundaries from God By identifying the
origins of their own shame--and the ways shame blocks them from
living an authentic life--readers will then be able to embrace the
four steps to overcoming unhealthy shame patterns. When they begin
to own their story, they will be able to give God glory and
encourage others who are seeking freedom in him. Then they can
embrace being bold for Christ and spread his love far and wide.
