Smellalicious: JRJ's Journey to Wholeness in Christ Jesus

By JRJ

What lies are you allowing to compete with the truth of who God says you are? "Smellalicious" was my thorn in the flesh.

Smellalicious was used by the enemy in an attempt to destroy my life and prevent me from being all God wanted me to be. I walked in defeat for over forty years before finally surrendering my life to God. Genesis

Introduction

Draw me close to You, my dear God, so that I may not sin against you. Thank You, God, for healing my body, mind, soul, and emotions. Heavenly, most gracious Father, thank you for the struggle that brought me to the relationship I have with you. Thank You, God, for teaching me that my entire being is in who I am in You, in Christ Jesus.

My prayer is that my testimony will allow anyone who allows a lie of the enemy to control their life to know and believe that I certainly know how deep the pain of rejection and self-hate can go.

I also know the hope and strength of walking in God’s will by faith in every promise that He spoke in His Word.

God created us all for a purpose. I allowed the lies of the enemy to hinder me from walking in the fullness of all God has for me because I believed I was flawed and not good enough due to a smellalicious thing I had in my body. I walked in defeat for over fifty years, barely pushing to meet my full potential because I didn’t believe I was good enough to be loved and accepted, because I didn’t have a healthy sense of love for myself. I was convinced that no one else could love me either due to my smellalicious condition.

I personally met my Savior Jesus Christ in 2001 and started learning to surrender my life to God. Finally, my life started changing from glory to glory.
