God Needs You

When I was journaling this week, I asked God, “What do you think about me?” His response was filled with such loving and sweet life-giving words that it made me feel seen, chosen, unique, and very needed in the world. As He spoke to me through pen on paper, His presence overwhelmed me with peace.

I continued to write in my journal, and I knew the words were not only for me, but for YOU, yes YOU dear reader. I believe God is speaking to you as you read these words right now and this is what He is longing for you to know …

Your life matters. Your voice matters. Your words matter. Your story matters. I need you. I need you to use all your unique gifts to reach the people I’ve chosen for you to reach. I need every child of mine to use their gifts so that I can speak through them. Every voice put together creates my megaphone to the world!

Friend, do you hear that God needs you? He needs me. He needs us to be His mouthpiece to the world.

One-way God often speaks to us is through an echo. When we hear something over and over that is a way God is speaking to us. For example, when you hear a message from a pastor or leader and later you find yourself in a conversation with a friend and you hear them repeating the same thing, that is God speaking and confirming His voice through the echo of another.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve compared yourself to so many others in the world. I’ve had thoughts like my voice really doesn’t matter or look at how successful they are, little ole me is not “that important”. Can you relate? Well friend, that is just not true. Those are lies the enemy likes to whisper in our ear. The truth is, we do matter and God needs us! It is a great big world and God needs every single one of us on the battlefield speaking life and love into others.

So my friend, what will you do with this revelation? I want to invite you to grab a journal and ask God. Maybe begin by writing out one of these questions to Him:

God, what do you think about me?

God, what gifts do you see in me?

God, whose life do I need to speak into today?

After writing out a question to God, continue writing. He will speak to you. I recently finished the book Dialog With God: Opening The Door To Two-Way Prayer in my KINEO Ministry Training Class. I highly recommend it to learn more about journaling with God.

I pray this blog post excites you in your relationship with God and inspires you to connect with Him today. He loves nothing more than communing with you.

I’ve taken a break from writing blog post for a pretty long time but have felt prompted by the Holy Spirit (echoing over and over!) it is time to write. The purpose of my website is to be a place of love and encouragement in building a stronger intimate relationship with Christ. I want to thank you for being a part of this community at lindakuhar.com and I hope you’ll share it with others.

They Rejected Me

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20

I’ll never forget the day I sat heartbroken, defeated, embarrassed, ashamed, and rejected. I could not believe what I was hearing. “Linda, you are not enough.” In a world I gave my entire heart to, I was then rejected.

I cried for weeks asking God why? Why did they do this to me? What did I do to deserve this?

As I walked away from the scene of what felt like hell that day, I remember wanting nothing more than to crawl in a hole and never come out. Everything I believed to be true appeared as a lie.

Would I ever be able to trust again?

The war raged in my mind, heart and soul.

Years later as I relive the above scene in my mind, I’m not going to lie to you, it still hurts. It still leaves me scratching my head and asking did that really happen?

Even though to this very day I wrestle at times with mixed emotions of betrayal I do have peace within my spirit.

You might wonder how do I have peace within after being hurt so badly?

Honestly, if it were not for such rejection and heartache, I would have never found a TRUE relationship with Jesus. It is because of the turmoil of rejection that threw me into the arms of my Savior. I would not trade the MIRACLE that happened during that season of devastation for everything I own.

You see at that point in my life I was struggling with God just being words on a page and a Sunday church service. I needed Him to become real to me. I could no longer just quote a scripture or listen to a sermon to get me filled up and be okay. I desperately needed a real life encounter with the Living God and that is what I got! (read Worthy of a Miracle, Chapter 12 for details)

After having a hands on, tangible real life encounter with the Living God, I’ve never been the same. Still to this very day I experience the Lord tangibly every single day of my life. He is no longer words on a page, I physically experience His presence living from within me and encounter the MIRACLE of God inside me.

Dear reader, I am here to tell you that no matter what nightmare you are facing God is ready to do a MIRACLE in your life. However, there is only one requirement of you. You must fully surrender; you must get desperate enough to fall into the arms of Jesus. He is waiting and ready to do far beyond anything you could ever ask or imagine.

PRAY: Heavenly Father, thank you for your presence. Thank you for your unconditional love and relentless pursuit of us to be in relationship with you. Thank you God that you take everything the enemy tries to use for harm in our lives and you turn it to good! You make miracles out of heartbreak. Thank you that we are never rejected by you but are always loved and accepted. Holy Spirit fill us to overflow. We lean in and press into you. We desire all of you. We desire signs, wonders and miracles in our lives right here, right now. Thank you Jesus. We love you and adore you. It is by your stripes Jesus we are healed, whole, worthy, and enough. It is in your name Jesus we pray. Amen.

I get on my knees and raise my hands to this song, My Hallelujah when I’m feeling rejected. Praise is how to fight every battle we face!

Take My 2 Minute Challenge

“You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.” – Joyce Meyer, Battlefield of the Mind

As your life coach I want to challenge you from time to time to get outside of your comfort zone and try new things. I love the quote above from Joyce Meyer. Isn’t it so true? We are what we think. When we agree with who God says we are, we live full of confidence, full of life, full of joy, full of peace, full of victory. We live from a place of overflow! But boy oh boy, when we agree with anything less than who God says we are life is a mess. We feel defeated, depressed, insecure, fearful, lonely, less than … we feel just an absolute mess! So my friend I want to set you up for success to live a positive life by encouraging you to take my 2 minute challenge.

Do you put yourself down?

Just in case you missed the conference call here it is. I pray this is a source of encouragement. 

5 Excellent Benefits to Experience Coaching:

1)   Clarify your values, goals and purpose.

I believe we must have a clear direction for our life.  We are so easily distracted by our fast pace lifestyles that it is easy to have a blurred vision of where we want to go or what we really want to change in our life. Coaching will give you clarity to identify your values, goals and purpose.

2)   Balance

I believe in order to find a balance in our lives we must remove energy drainers.  Sometimes it’s hard to identify on our own what is really draining us on a daily basis. Once we remove these obstacles we can naturally achieve more balance in our life.

3)  Perseverance

I believe to have the ability to sustain our goals we need a plan that is simple to repeat to keep us moving forward. Perseverance is all about the baby steps!

4)   Accountability

I believe it is so much easier to accomplish goals when we are accountable to someone.  Making a commitment to someone other than ourself typically gives us just enough fuel to keep moving forward to achieve great things.

5)   Prevent Backsliding

I believe we will encounter unexpected challenges. When we do not get the support we need it is so easy to postpone or delay our goals. The accountability you receive during coaching will prevent backsliding and give you enough stamina to persevere in moving forward in your goals.

Do You Need Healing?

I’ve shared with you in the past how I’ve personally struggled with anxiety, depression and negative thoughts. I am here to tell you that you do not have to struggle with the same lies I struggle with. Lies of I’m not good enough, I’m never going to be good enough, lies of insecurity, unworthiness, etc. Friends, I have been set free, truly delivered from that mindset and belief. In all honesty I know that it was spiritual what I was dealing with.

As a child early on I partnered and agreed with those lies and negative thoughts. For example, I didn’t think I was smart so I agreed and started calling myself stupid. I carried that all through adulthood. Just over this past year have I really been set free from the lies and insecurities.

Psalm 30:2 says, “Lord my God I called to you for help and you healed me” and Psalm 30:11 tells us “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.” and that is exactly what God has done in my life.

When I truly called out to the Lord, he set me free! I prayed, “Lord, I no longer stand in agreement and partner with these lies that I’m not good enough. I tell those things to go in the name of Jesus.” I prayed, “lying spirit go in the name of Jesus, unworthiness go in the name of Jesus, insecurity go in the name of Jesus, I no longer partner with those and I choose to partner with you Lord and who you say I am. I am worthy. I am loved. I have nothing to fear.”

And guess what? Today there is no longer insecurity in me. I simply have joy and freedom!

After praying such a simple heartfelt prayer, I have been fully delivered. Today I invite you in to pray with me and after this video, continue in prayer if there is anything that you’ve been holding onto. There is power and freedom in Jesus. I promise!

The Embarrassing Truth About Writing a Book

woam2

Stressing out about writing a book is NEVER worth it.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I acted like a crazy person for the year and a half of my life while putting this book on paper. It was like the world was coming to an end.

It was all about me!

What are people going to think?

Am I good enough to do this?

Me, an author? Like titles are all that important at the end of the day.

Insecurity relentlessly taunted me day and night.

Looking back I was self-absorbed. My face is flushed while admitting this to you.

After it was all said and done (or wrote) I held the book in my hands and the only thing that truly mattered was God’s grace.

Yes, God’s grace that saved my life. God’s mercy that kept me here a little longer on earth to hopefully share Jesus’ love with a hurting world.

Memories of my life raced through my mind and tears leaked out the corners of my eyes the moment I held my book Worthy of a Miracle for the first time.

Thank you Jesus. Thank you. I prayed.

That’s all that ever really mattered or still matters … Jesus.

A small piece of my life was written on those pages to share that our God is real and our God is always here with us.

I’ve taken some time off from my blog. I’m not sure where I’m headed. The only place I want to be is in continuous fellowship with God worshiping Him. That is my life’s priority.

Being 100% authentic is at the core of who God created me to be and at any time I feel the tug to live for the world, I retreat. I hop off social media and you’ll see limited post from me.

While the world tells me in order to keep a steady following I must post consistently, my heart longs to stay in alignment with the Holy Spirit.

If your reading this today I want to say thank you for supporting me here and believing in me. You inspire me to keep it real and to simply be me. I hope when you see my emails come through you’ll continue to take a peak and see what God’s up to. Thank you for understanding the ebbs and flows of my inconsistent post.

For anyone out there that is working hard to achieve your goals I want to encourage you to take time to connect with God consistently throughout your day. Make sure He is your number #1 focus and not the goal you are working towards. If your life feels out of balance I highly recommend finding a Christian coach or mentor.

Dear Lord I pray for each reader here to connect with you deeper in this very moment. May we take time to talk with you and seek you first throughout our day. Make us sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit inside of us. We love you Lord. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Is God Real?

Several years ago I woke up in the middle of the night and this acronym popped in my mind. JESUS: Just Live Today, Expect Miracles, Speak Truth, Use Your Gifts, Start Now! I put it in my cell phone and it stayed there for about a year before I ever did anything with it. Today I’m thrilled to say this acronym is in Part 2 of my book Worthy of a Miracle.

This week let’s talk about E … Expect Miracles.

If we are really honest with ourselves, we have all wrestled with the question, “Is God real?” On page 185 I wrote …

“Most of my life, I only knew how to do religion. I never understood how to be a believer in Christ and how to have a relationship with him. I often wondered why I didn’t know the Jesus of the Bible like the amazing Christian speakers I so admired, or the friends I interacted with daily.

Why did they seem to “get it” and I didn’t?

I accepted Christ as a teenager, but somehow my belief never traveled from my head to my heart. I tried everything, from teaching children’s Sunday school and volunteering at church to leading home Bible studies and following annual Bible reading plans. This was the “good church lady” way to live . . . to gain God’s favor and earn angel wings. I thought that if I followed the rules perfectly, one day I would know Jesus and believe I was worthy to be God’s daughter.”

Have you ever got caught up in the performance or the “doing” to find God? We go to church, listen to sermons, do the bible studies, listen to Christian music but all along there’s still a disconnect from the head to the heart.

It wasn’t until I got to the end of my rope and got over myself, that I stopped performing to find God in my own strength and that is when a miracle happened! Page 186 I wrote …

“This is what I hold true now: God will not force himself on us. He waits patiently (giving us freewill) for us to turn to him. That’s what he did for me. When I finally got desperate enough, I found him and fell in love with Jesus when he unveiled the truth in my heart. I am worthy. I am valued. I am his daughter. I am adored. I
am perfect in his sight just the way I am.

It is a miracle I never expected.

Out of brokenness, God restores our messes, our mistakes, our lives.”

Today I want you to take a moment and be completely honest with yourself. You don’t have to share here if you’re not comfortable. Have you wrestled with your relationship with God? Have you struggled to find him through doing? Have the words of the page of the bible been flat to you and not really come alive in your life? I want you to pray today, I want you to Expect a Miracle! Just like the miracle I had in my life, God WILL reveal himself to you.

What miracle would you never ever expect to happen in your life? That is what I encourage you to pray for today.

When You’re Bit by the Insecurity Bug

fear

Hey sweet friend!

If you’ve been connected with me for a while you know that I wrote a book last year. During this process of excruciating vulnerability I’ve had the emotional ride of my life!

High … low … high … low … high … looooooow …

This year as I’m going through the next phase of publishing I’m experiencing yet again many mixed emotions.

Putting yourself “out there” is such a scary place to be. It’s so easy to get caught up in what other people think about you. Who will “approve” of you and who will “reject” you? Those kinds of thoughts spinning in your mind too long could make a person go crazy.

Ugh!!!

And if you don’t watch out you might be taken by surprise when one day you realize you’re eaten up with insecurities that keep you trapped in fear and paralyzed in the “not good enoughs”.

Just the other day I was having a come to Jesus meeting with myself and said, “Linda, you’ve been bit by the insecurity bug once again! What are you going to do about it? Eat a candy bar or let yourself feel it and have a cry on your hubby’s shoulder?”

Well, I actually did both. {Just being honest here.}

The candy bar didn’t really do a thing for me except give me a sugar rush, headache and kept me up half the night. But crying on my husband’s shoulder actually worked for me.

I wept like a baby. Snot everywhere!

And as my husband dried my tears with his sweet words of encouragement I found strength to move forward and get over myself.

Now, that was just for the moment. That darn insecurity bug is buzzing around me all the time. It’s everywhere. Online, in relationships, in church, in ministry, in parenting, in my physical health, in finances … you name it, that stinker might pop up anywhere.

Instead of running away from my fears, I’ve decided to lean into them. I’ve been bit one too many times by insecurity and I refuse to let it take me down.

I will keep fighting. I will keep getting back up.

Why?

Because when I am weak HE IS STRONG! His grace is sufficient for me. His power is made perfect in my weakness. (2 Cor 12:9-10) He has armed me with strength for battle. He has made my opponents (the enemy) bow at my feet. (Psalm 18:39)

I simply choose to keep on fighting. Today I choose to remain fearless. Will you join me?

Coming in February I will begin a short blog series on How to Squash the Insecurity Bug. I would to love have you here. Please invite your friends to sign up for my blog and share this on your social media sites. Click here to subscribe to my blog.
