Feeling Lower Than a Snake's Belly?

LLLV18 10-11-2018    Feeling Lower Than a Snake’s Belly?

The other evening while engaged in the theme of teaching about prayer it became apparent that some were having trouble with feeling unworthy to pray. It was pointed out that such feelings are set up by Satan who is the accuser of God’s people. Satan is always counter to God.

Many admitted that they often “feel lower than a snake’s belly.”

Feelings can be affected by more than Satanic influence. Allergies, too much/too little food or drink. Snide remarks can cause feelings such as, “I’m not worthy enough to be around this group.” Often a mate can use this sort of power against the other.

We were encouraged by this statement from Michael Youssef:

"Nothing is hidden from God's view. Someone in your life may treat you as worthless, but in God's sight you are worth more than rubies and sapphires."
Michael Youssef.
 
When you have feelings of being rejected, downtrodden, useless, keep the teachings of Jesus in the front of your mind and cling to them. His most famous invitation is to people who recognize these kinds of feeling, and He makes this offer:
 
Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (NKJV).
 
Millions walk about with head hanging low, shoulders slumping, admitting; “I am no longer of value.” “I’m not as young as I used to be.” I no longer can meet the needs of my spouse.”
 
You may put your pain in this line of thought. God can and will use scripture to lift your spirits by reminding you of His unconditional love for you. Paul tells that while we were weak, Christ loved us in our weakness and will give His strength to us. Romans 5:8. At a low ebb in his life, David wrote:
 
Psalm 3:3 “But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.”

My new booklet, Amazing Grace 8 Essentials for Growth is available Free. A free will offering to help with costs will be appreaciated. Here's what one pastor, Dr. Paul Gordan, has to say about Amazing Grace:

"I read your great book, and here are my comments about it.
All of the Bible is God’s word, but some parts stand our like mountains above the plains.  Bro. Larry Lilly took one of those mountains (2 Peter 1.5-8) and added depth, understanding, and luster to an already beautiful picture of mature Christianity.  Anyone applying these verses to his life will find himself rejoicing in the richness of God’s spiritual wealth.”
 Let me quote R.G Lee when he was preaching in Highland Park Baptist Church and said publically to Pastor Lee Roberson, “Let’s me and you get together and we’ll give the devil the devil.” Dr. Paul Gordon, Pastor, Author recommended by Jonny Hunt, Barbara Beck, Alan & Sandy Welborn, Tim Grosshans.
