BeyondStr8Street Ministries, we exist to provide spiritual guidance and support to those in need by speaking the "Whole message of this Life." -Acts 5:20 

 Good day family, and welcome back into beyondstr8street. You’ve all probably heard people pray something like this many times; “Lord I want less of me and more of You”. I’d bet that like me, you’ve even prayed that more than once yourself. But what God showed me, is that while well intended, just saying “I want” doesn’t produce the desired result. So today we’re going to unpack the wrong thinking behind a request like this and hopefully give you some tools to truly see that the more you are asking for is already there and only waiting to be formed...

  Hello family, welcome back into beyondstr8street. Today we’ll be breaking second part of Ephesians 4. Last time we left of in Ephesians 4:16...
 

 Our thought lives and self talk are a major area of attack for us as believers. This is a simple way to take control of your thought life and self-talk in the moment. If it’s a recurring thing that needs deeper healing you can pursue that later. This is just a way to swat away the flies in the day to day. 

 The Lord is continually showing me soil in my heart that needs overturning. I have read the first part of the above verses many times that says, "he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." But the way God showed me today was different. What is it to “deny myself"? That was my first thought... So what was that to Jesus in context?
