I'm a wordpress user who came to like certain things that I saw on tumblr and felt that this place also gave me much more anonymity that I seek than my wordpress. So...here I am, nothing impressive... :)

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
– 2 Corinthians 6:17
We’re surrounded by a world which is ruled for the most part by Satan. How can we avoid getting caught up in it? How can we stand apart?
You’ll find the answer in John 17:17. There Jesus was speaking to the Father about all those who would believe on Him. “Sanctify them through thy truth,” He said. “Thy word is truth.” Sanctify means “to separate unto.” So Jesus was saying, “Separate them by the Word.” The Word separates!
When you initially believed the Word of God, you were born again. You were separated spiritually from the kingdom of darkness and separated to the kingdom of Light. Now that’s where a lot of people stop. They let the Word of God do its initial separating work and then go right on living like everybody else. Spiritually, they’re still separated from death. But physically and mentally, they’re up to their necks in it. They’re poor. They’re sick. They’re worried. They’re confused. They’re upset. In other words, they’re just like everyone else in the world.
But if you’ll give the Word of God first place in your life, it will continue to separate you from the poverty and the anxiety and the sickness and the hatred and the darkness of your old habitat.
There’s something else that the Word of God will do for you too. It will not only separate you from the things of this world, it will separate you to the things of God.
You can’t simply separate yourself from any old destructive habit without separating yourself to something else. You can’t turn away from the things of the world unless you turn to something stronger. I’m telling you, you can scream and squall and kick the altar bench and everything else trying to get rid of the sin in your life. You can cry, “Dear God, take this sin away from me.” But all the begging in the world won’t separate you from your sin. It’s the Word that does it!
Make a decision to give the Word first place in your life. Make it a quality decision, a decision from which there is no retreat. Lock into the Word and let the Word do its work. Let it separate you from the things of the world and to the things of God.

He Will Fight Your Battles
I love the verse found in Proverbs 16 that says: “when a man’s ways please the Lord, He’ll make even his enemies be at peace with him.” Think about that for just a moment. God wants you to live in peace. He doesn’t want to see you worry and frustrated, striving to fight your battles in your own strength. He wants to fight your battles for you. He wants to be the hero of your story!
What enemies are you facing today? Are you facing an enemy of debt? An enemy of fear? An enemy of lack? God wants to silence those things that come against you. Instead of focusing on all those things coming against you, focus on the One who is for you! No matter what’s going on in your life, all you have to do is please God Almighty and He will take care of the rest. How do you know when you are pleasing Him? The Bible says that faith pleases God. When you declare His promises over your life and trust that He will fight your battles, you are pleasing Him. When you come humbly before Him and obey His commands, you are pleasing Him. Make Him the number one priority in your life and let Him fight your battles. Let Him fill you with His peace and joy so that you can move forward in the abundant life He has for you!
