Wow, It seems like only yesterday I started this journey. I was excited and anxious but today, I am more excited than anything. Excited about the things I have learned and how to apply them to the rest of my life. I can not go back to the picking and choosing what I will do. I must, I must change. I must stay focused. Directions have been given, things have been removed, my determined has been set. As I continue this journey I am focusing on the long-term goal.
What is the long-term goal for me...To see Jesus face in peace, to hear him say, "Well Done thy good and faithful servant, enter into my joy and rest."
So, as I continue this journey over the next few days, I am concentrating on those big things God has placed in my lap. Those wonderful things He has given me to do. I am worshiping Him in every area of my life. I am thanking Him for being the God I serve with gladness. I pray that He will continue to teach me His ways; so Linda can die more and more each day.
Do I make mistakes, absolutely, do I slip and fall, Yes, but I have learned that I can and must get back up. Get back up, get back up. I remember reading about getting back up. It was a nice post, but I was a bit dismissive of it. I smiled and said yes I know this, however, I did not hear the message until today. I had fallen and was content to lay in my misery, my defeat, my doubt. God was telling me then, you can not reach your goal or potential in this place or position. I have to get back up. I have to move on. I have to break through the barriers that are hindering me. I have to stop making excuses.
My My, it is so hard to overcome SELF but I must. through the grace and mercy of my Lord and Savior, I must continue to fight the good fight of faith. I must understand that this is not what God has for me, but it's on the other side of these hardships. Boy, God how much You love me. WHEW!!! God never said it would be easy. Actually I am supposed to join Him in his suffering. I think that was my problem... I thought God suffering would still be breezy, easy and not really suffering at all. Then I am reminded that he went to calvary. So if He could do that for me... Surely these light afflictions that plague me I can endure for Him. It's really in how I chose to see it.
So in the words of Bob Carlisle and Donnie McClurkin, I have to "get back up again for a saint is just a sinner who fell down and got up." The hardest part for me is trust. I see that now. My what ifs hinder me to the point of paralyzing me. This journey will not end in a few days it will intensify, why? Because My lifestyle will become a life of concentrated obedience.
Father God, I ask that you give me the strength to do Your will in my life. I know it will not be easy, and Your word says that I can be pressed on all sides, battered, bruised, even misused but you are with me always. I must put my trust in You. You will carry me. all You ask of me is that I depend on You. Help me to lean not to my own understanding and acknowledge you in everything I do. Help me to turn from my wicked and evil ways. I need You. I want you. I can't make it through this wilderness without Your hand guiding me. I ask You to show me your ways, teach me your ways. Help me Love your people. Help me Love your people. Help me see that it's in You that all this will be accomplished. The task is so great, but You can do all things. I can do all things through You that gives me the strength. Father, I am Your child and I need my Daddy now and always.
I rebuke any thoughts that would come against your plans for my life. I rebuke any obstacles that Satan would try to place in my path. I come against worry, doubt, fear, anxiety, stress, lack, deceit, and lies. In Jesus name. I plead the blood of Jesus over my life as a hedge of protection from the storms of life and the evil spirits that will try to uproot what You have given me. In Jesus name, I break every generational curse and bondage in my life and blood line backwards and forwards; things known and unknown. I Shut the door now. In Jesus name, I loose freedom to hear, speak and believe God's Word. See those that are to partner with me in this journey, those that are like minded. In Jesus name allow us to prosper as our soul prospers. set free and deliver Oh God. I pray this all in Jesus Name. Amen.
The journey continues...
You are Bound No More.
