You Might Struggle But You Don’t Have To Be Struggling

[@michelles6]

One of your best videos ever. You are a true blessing

[@TracyHensel]

You are so kind!

The Bible says Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8)

[@sassysandie2865]

1 Peter 5:8 Which is why we have to put on the armor of God to fight off the devil. We are over-comers!

[@TracyHensel]

Amen! Thank you, Sandie! Have a lovely Friday!

@@TracyHenselthanks, Tracy! I hope you do too! You may have missed another calling; preacher!! Love your devil imitation!

[@MariettaAnderson-i6l]

Wow, Tracy! Thank you for such a powerful message!! I absolutely agree! Knowing the enemy is at work (daily), it's vital that we are prepared. It's true, the more obedient we are, the harder he works on us. But like you said, "Bring it on..." With God's help, we will conquer the enemy! One of the things I like to do to thwart the enemy's plan is to ask myself, "What would the enemy really hate for me to do today?" He wouldn't want me to be kind and loving, he would want me to hold on to a grudge instead of forgiving, indulge in gossip, think negatively about myself... the list goes on. And I know by choosing the opposite, I will be winning (on God's side)! Of course, simply asking myself, "What would Heavenly Father and Jesus want me to do today?" and doing that will always be the right choice! Like you always say, "Leave people better than you found them!"❤ "You can't have me, because I'm taken." Amen!! "God's not finished with you yet... It's a beautiful place to be!" I love it, Thanks, Tracy!😊 ❤Marietta

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing your sage and judicious words of wisdom. It's so true that when we share our Divine Gifts with others and have the potential to strengthen others' relationships with the Lord, we become a high target for the enemy. Enemy, I'm flattered, but I am taken. You can't have me. Everything you shared aligns with my daily intentions. It's refreshing to hear it from someone else. Thank you for that. I am grateful. God Bless you, Marietta!

[@dshack7679]

Wow, Miss Tracy. You have me over here crying.…this was so timely for me. You’re the wise, disciplined, loving mama that we all needed to hear from in our lives. Thank you for what you do. ❤

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you and Bless you!

[@Lisalivinginthelight]

Amen!!! “You can’t have me. I am taken!” I already have VICTORY!!! 🙌🏻

[@Danigurl117]

Wow!!! You have absolutely no idea how powerful this was and was exactly what I needed to hear today. I do not have Instagram Thank you so much for letting God use you as his instrument to get this message to me and countless others that needed to hear this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!

[@imnottsyd.]

Tracy, I just met a woman for the second time. She said, “you look tired, I can tell by your face”. I would never tell anyone that. She reminded me of a friend that I recently unfriended for similar comments. It confirmed to me why I no longer speak to a person like that.

[@TracyHensel]

Good for you not tolerating tasteless comments. There is no room for people like that in our lives. Thank you for sharing.

[@renee6524]

I can only manage me...this is an excellent reminder. How true this is.

[@pennyhare925]

Love !! There’s a family member on my husband’s side every holiday , I’m a happy positive person , but always something said from them to me , kinda chops me down makes fun of my hair makeup clothes etc and behind my back in front of my grands So this is so helpful for me thank you !

[@seaglasscolor]

This is why I love you, Tracy. Someone out there who is willing to be real. ❤

[@normakeith4472]

Such a helpful, encouraging and powerful video!! "Leave people better than you found them"! WOW! "How did I show up in the lives of others" WOW! I needed to be reminded so much! Thank you for doing so! Continued wishes for strength and health to you!❤

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for the feedback, Norma, and I wish you strength and health! It's very much appreciated. Well wishes right back to you. God Bless. Have a lovely weekend!

[@heidihutchinson7278]

Tracey I just wanted to thank you. I have be subscribed to you for a few years but after watching your video on exercise and the excuses that we. (I) use. I decided no more. I have Cerebral Palsy but January 2nd 2024 I started exercising. I do an hour cardio 6 days a week and have lost 2 stone so far. Thank you !😀

[@TracyHensel]

Congratulations Heidi! That is fantastic. Thank you for sharing. May you have continued success.

[@aventfulheart5890]

Praying for you..great video! And yes enemy is attacking me as well as I lead my husband to Christ. It's hard to be a life coach while battling these attacks. But God gives me strength ❤

[@christinemack2153]

Impactful for me and when I give it to God, I find my peace and power. Prayers for our struggles to be more manageable.

[@carrieperrigo2319]

People that are hurting want to hurt us by saying critical things about people we love.

[@R.A.A.1980]

So grateful for this today and will be another repeat. Thank you for this message.

[@lauraneaves6912]

Tracy I finally was able to watch this for a second time, and took notes 💜 so appreciate you sharing, I love these honest videos of yours. Blessings 💕

[@GlamStylistxoxo]

I came all the way from my other device just to let you know😆 you are preaching today for me 👏🏽😭 Wow is all I can say. It feels so great to see you still at it Tracy! Thanks for this video, you always know JUST what to say to get me back on track ❤️

[@dianecaird1697]

I am only half way through this video …..I feel like you are directly talking to me. As I feel often with you…. you are such a gift in my life, seriously. Will listen to the remainder later this evening. Thank you, Tracy !! ❤❤❤❤

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Diane! I truly appreciate your loyal watching and support for my work. Have a lovely weekend!

[@taraparson]

I love this message, thank you, Tracy! I made a daily document and I put a graphic of a dove and serpent for a visual reminder of Matthew 10:16 (to be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves) and I also have Ephesians 6:10-11 on it to remind me to put on the full armor of God! It has been a blessing to see how the message God has had for my sister and me is consistent with what you’ve been saying lately! I love a Sacred Echo (that’s a book title)!

[@tatianasouza2361]

God is all we need and I am delighted to see you talking more about out Lord and saviour and on how He strengthens when we lean on Him. Great video Tracy! God bless you and your family! 💜✝️🙌

[@cathyb6358]

I loved today’s video. I had an opportunity recently to practice something you have adviced about not volunteering to give one's somewhat negative experience with a restaurant. It is my prayer that the person you described today will take steps to heal him or herself. Stay strong. Prayerfully, that negative energy will be replaced with a determination to heal rather than hurt.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing, and the reminder about refraining from advising based on our personal experience. Have a lovely weekend!

[@SusanL-ds6lc]

Aww... I'm sorry you are struggling. I have struggled. I have been a target. They were surprised to discover how strong I was. I have faith. I got through it. You will too. Try to stay in the present. We can do hard things. With God. You are saying all the right stuff so you know what to do. You will be O.K. God bless you. Thinking "Watch me live a life of goodness" helped me. xoxo

[@amyhilger2919]

Thank you Tracy, for another beautiful & powerful message. I’m sorry there is someone in your life who treats you this way. When similar occurrences happen to me, I remember your wise words that it always makes sense! Thank you for being such an example of grace & resilience; have a most blessed day! Psalm 3. ❤

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Amy! I appreciate your thoughtful message.

[@deinamorgan413]

My goodness, you have no idea how badly I needed this, I’ve been pausing, replaying and taking notes. I was in such a funk but as always, you give me the tools to rise above and knock some sense into me. You are indeed a gem. One day I dream of digging deeper and having a one on one with you. I value your input greatly. God bless you ❤

[@TracyHensel]

I'm so happy to hear that my message provided you the tools to release the funk you were in. Thank you for taking the time to share. I appreciate the thoughtful message. Have a lovely weekend. God Bless!

[@jeamiatribble5704]

Thank you for this message! Each morning we have to get POWER by putting on our full armor of God. Pray to put on belt of truth. Overview daily documents to put on breastplate of righteousness. Workout to put on the shoes of peace. Eat a healthy breakfast to take up a shield of faith. Doing this by feeding your body and feeding your faith with the Word of God. Read your Bible to put on your helmet of righteousness and sharpen your Sword of the Spirit.

You’re a better person than I am Tracy. I wouldn’t have been as cordial especially if this person attacked me multiple times.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing. I'm not better, I may just have more years under my belt succumbing to the Devil's work. Rising above is so liberating and freeing. Have a lovely Friday and weekend!

[@sassysandie2865]

@@TracyHenselI have about 20 years on you and I may have said something like, (smiling as I said it) “Oh, I don’t remember asking for your opinion……” Have used this line a few times and it usually shuts them up or they get nervous and embarrassed. You ARE better than me😊

Hi Tracy. Thank you for putting your instagram stories up on KZbin. I quit instagram a few years ago because it did not serve me well. I missed your stories so much.

It was hard to hear this because of the audio levels

[@TracyHensel]

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get the audio issue resolved.

[@Tate123]

I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time. Just focus on the important things in life.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you! I appreciate the sentiment. I am laser-focused on the most important things. So many blessings have shown up through faith and perseverance. God is Good! Have a lovely Friday and weekend.

[@sassysandie2865]

Yes

[@MGomez777]

Do you think you’re struggling because maybe you’re doing a lot?

[@TracyHensel]

I'm not struggling, but the struggle has shown up. I would say, my work makes me more a target than most. When you help people live a better life, the enemy can't do his work. Of course, he will want to pounce on someone like me. I'm a threat. But I'm bigger, better, and a bad a**. There's no room or space to rent. My hope is we are ALL doing a lot! A lot of good.

[@MGomez777]

@@TracyHensel I love this. And this is probably why I’m also having struggle show up in my life because I am also a good target because I am doing and achieving so much. I always thought “maybe I’m doing too much” but that’s not what it is. You’re so right

[@TracyHensel]

Keep doing good! The enemy wants you to judge our efforts. Rise above. Push on. You've got this! And always remember, REST is productive. Schedule your downtime and protect it. Have a great day!

[@Danigurl117]

That's not a bad thing. Celebrate that win! More people would live an abundant and satisfying life if they made the same choice or used the platform in a healthy way. Have a great weekend!

Tracy, Suggestion, ‘tis up to YOU- Take a read of the book of James, it’s only 5 chapters…& THEN, also take a listen to Francesca Battistelli’s “The Breakup Song” & fill in the blank ___ (so to speak) w/ what goes there FOR YOU in the place where she put “…fear” ___ in the song… (or leave it there, if it applies) …In fact, T|truth BE known, we ALL could do this, to minus ANY malaise we may experience via The Enemy…hence, this msg! The (malaise)Experience: It’s only a trainer toward the “bestest” YOU. It’s all about CHOSEN perception. We GET TO choose!…to CHOOSE …HOW …we’re going to implement our own Godgiven freewill; “it may not BE easy, YET it iS SIMPLE” though 😉😌✨ AND… “Do or do not, there iS no try” -🌿Yoda😊 Amen?!… Yes & Amen.
