Trenches

Updated: May 16, 2021

It’s not over when you fall. God will never give up on you, but when you get back up again, He will allow you to be tested in the same area where you fell before, because He wants to see what you will do when you are tried in your weakness. Will you give in or give it to Him? Just like Adam tried to hide his nakedness in the Garden of Eden, the enemy tries to convince us many times that we need to keep our failures a secret from God.

God needs total commitment to Him and you cannot be totally committed if you have secrets with the enemy. The devil will try to whisper lies to you and convince you that you are beyond redemption. He will say that since you are already in a fallen state, why not just dwell there for a while; but before you know it you are so deep in sin and trapped by addictions that you can barely recognize yourself.

2nd Corinthians 12:9 says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness." God wants total surrender. He already knows the ugliest parts of us, so don't try to hide it from Him. Give Him your chains and watch Him turn them into something beautiful. Stay Encouraged!

~Eric


“I was in certain danger Caught in the crossfire of hope and regret Thought I could be my own savior But I'm sinking, sinking fast

'Cause it's too much to handle Alone in the battle I'm desperate for You, Lord

Heart under fire, facing defeat So close to surrender, to my enemies But Love came from heaven, to fight for me When I am defenseless, You climb in the trenches The trenches with me” -Tauren Wells

This is such an inspiring piece, Eric. Love the transparency and honesty. That is what God requires. Unless we surrender all to Him we remain stuck in the cycle of defeat. I was blessed by your writing. You peak with such candor, and such frankness. I pray that God will use it to win many to His Kingdom. Continue to be an inspiration. Much love and blessings to you. Stay surrendered to God and allow Him to continue to mold you into His image. It is not about being perfect in the eyes of man. It is about being pliable or moldable like the clay in the potter's hand. God is your Potter and He is the One who mak…
