I can’t always blog but the desire to write is often there, so I now have a little notebook that I carry with me and I’ve been getting good at writing down my thoughts or whole entries. Not all of them will make it on here, but I had a little extra time tonight and thought that I would share something that’s really been close to me as of late. But before I do that, I need to share this message from God that I received this morning…perhaps it will speak to you as well…
July 7, 2009: Deliberately shut the door on the current attacks from the enemy. There is no reason for you to be a victim of your circumstances, and again I remind you that you have been given the supreme authority to overcome every work of the flesh and the devil. I have empowered you to attain victory. Feeling sorry for yourself is counter-productive; you cannot win when you are already defeated, says the Lord. Rise up in the strength I have provided to cause you to triumph. 1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world––our faith.
Now…on with what I wanted to say…
Sometimes, reaching out for help requires more than just waving a finger or dropping a hint. Some times you have to jump up and down, scream and shout and then?
Sometimes that’s not even enough either.
But reaching way down deep, finding the root, exposing the true issue will help – but talking to someone… someone who is not where you are but where you want to be does wonders.
Know why?
Because they will quote scripture written especially for you…
1“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands: 2I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. 4Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. 5Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. 6But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. (Revelation 2:1-7)
Amen. Amen. and Amen.
Until next time…
