I am Free!
Today has been a day that the Lord has been speaking. I have heard his voice in my spirit loud and clear. It is for freedom that he has set me free! He has freed me from every bondage and stronghold that would rise up against the knowledge and truth of God in my life. It’s already been done, yet I MUST CHOOSE TO WALK IN IT!
From the worship this morning to the message brought by Pastor Brian to the introduction of breaking free by Beth Moore to the Psalm 44 that I read in my daily devotions…one thing is clear…God is speaking to me about freedom!
The Lord has identified a stronghold in my life, namely resentment. The details i will leave between me and God. Needless to say, I have been allowing a bondage in my life, and thus a stronghold for the enemy of my soul. The bondage has hindered me from the fullness to which God has called me, and the stronghold is in my thought process. I have thought myself a failure, worthless, empty, unable or unworthy to contribute to the co-pastor role that I have been given. I have allowed myself to be isolated, to return again and again to the destructive thought patterns that don’t align with what God has to say about me and my situations. I have allowed those thoughts to exalt themselves above the truth and knowledge of God, above what God has to say about me and believes for me.
No more! No more will I bow to the enemy of my soul! No more will I allow fear and self- doubt to control me. No more will I accept what the enemy or others say about me as truth. No more will I allow defeat. Instead, I will rise! I will rise in the freedom that has been purchased for me by my Lord Jesus Christ. I will rise in the confidence that God has given me. I will rise to the calling upon my life. I will rise to the level Jesus is beckoning me. I will rise, because I am FREE!
