If you are having a lot of problems living a life of victory, you are making a heavenly grammatical error with your conjunctions. There is a very simple lesson about using the word 'BUT'. Never put the word God before 'but'. To do that is bad grammar. If you are saying, "I know God loves me, but..." or, " I know Jesus died for me, but...", you are nullifying the word and power of God. The more you do that, the more you are hurting yourself.
To correct your grammar, always put the Word of God, the things of God, His promises AFTER the 'but'!. Say, "I know the situation is hopeless,but God...!" "I know I have stumbled, but God!" It makes all the difference in the world. BUT GOD is powerful. Today start using your Heavenly Grammer properly. Take your problem and add 'But God' and see what happens.
Psalm 46:1
TODAY'S MISSION
Today, leave the limitations of your old self. Each time you are faced with a difficulty, remember to say 'But God' and place it in His care. Leave behind your old grammar and apply the new in each area where you need His help.
Thank you for posting this. I hope you don't mind, but this is one I defiantly have to pass around.
I first realized grammar was important to our Christian view when last year, I came to the realization that it was not "my" church. Every since, I have replaced 'my' with our or His before church.
Our church or His church, never my church.
It has done wonders for this servant's heart.
