Well since I waited as
patiently as one in such an area of weakness could.. i kinda got a lot to say... so bear with me
For those of you who came to the feast/awesome scavenger hunt I'm gona take another shot at this one.
I am in love with the King of King's...
He loves me with an everlasting love
His love is unfailing
He keeps his promises
He speaks truth (well of course he is the truth)
He hates evil
He will never abandon me
He clothes me in peace and righteousness
He doesn't just make me happy-
He fills me with radiant joy!
So what is it that so easily stands in the way between us and God? Pride...for whatever reason. pride puts a major wall in the way of something so simple. One of the most powerful things you can do is lay down your pride. The veil has been torn- you can freely enter in-but pride is a huge hindering blockade. Destroy the barrier! Christ has already conquered this evil world- you have a choice to Receive your freedom- Its not your freedom until you receive it. Somebody can buy you a gift(and its for you) but you can't truly have it and enjoy it until you receive it.
Its like this:
Maybe you have received the gift-but you sat it on your shelf. But this kinda gift does no good if left itย on the shelf sitting all pretty. It is meant to be used! otherwise you might as well have left it in its pretty package. Now say: The person who gave it to you would be upset if you didn't get any use out of it.
Okay, in other words- Jesus accomplished everything for me- for us- for everybody. He conquered sin's power. He has the keys to the kingdom and even better- he has given them to us. This means we are no longer bound by the law, you are no longer cowering fearful slaves- you live in the power and shelter of the Almighty! Sin has no power in your life. The Lord has given you all you need to make it in this place- this world- Now take you eyes off of this world and all that it has to offer you! Set your sights on heaven. That is your home. No one is going to see your gift tucked away in the back of your closet. When you walk fully in your gift (in your relationship with Jesus) that is when people are not only going to admire your gift-but they are going to ask where they can get that way cool gift. The best gift you could ever receive is salvation and a daily relationship with the Lord. Its all about a relationship. The best part is that it never gets boring, because you grow with your gift daily. Each day you learn something new about your gift. Please don't tuck it away or pull it out just in an emergency (Its not a get out of hell free card!) If you are walking with Jesus everyday and using the keys he handed to you (because of course you are joint heirs with Christ Jesus) you will be prepared/ equipped for the battles. You can enjoy life here and now. Its not a chore. Its a love relationship. If you are constantly saying oh no I got to read my bible today... then something is wrong. Don't try to follow some doctorine or copy what sally does.. just simply love Jesus- fall inlove with him. Please don't make it a chore- the law was abolished by Christ's blood he shed on the cross. Sin has no power by the law anymore( none at all really). Its not about dusty laws & regulations. If you are truly walking in the Spirit of God you won't disobey the law.
With this Key:
Jesus has showered you with ...
power, love, sound mind
peace
joy- which is your strength
the armor
prayer
garment of praise
welp.. the list goes on and on... The sky is the limit pretty much.

I have seen you, my child. Yes, I have seen you. I have seen you beaten down. I have seen you hurt. I have seen you crying in the depths of despair. I have seen you, and I have never left your side. Precious one, Jesus bore all of your griefs-everyone of them!None of them are yours-not now-not ever. Refuse them in Jesus' name!
As my Son hung on the cross with all of the sins,grief, and diseases of all mankind, I had to turn my back- I could not bear to look at him, and I cannot bear to look at you and see you wounded and hurt. Oh, my precious child, arise! Stand up! In Jesus name, Stand up and cast your cares and burdens on me. They are not yours. Satan, I rebuke you! Take your hands off of my precious child! Take your hands off of my child! In my Son's name oppression shall go! In my Son's name- discouragement must go! Fear must go!- In my Son's name! Loneliness must go in my Son's name! Poverty must go in my Son's name! Confusion must go in my Son's name! You are set free!
My child, now you are seated in heavenly places with my son, Jesus, and all things are under your feet. Satan is under your feet. He has no dominion over you. My child I have called you. You are my own. I have given you my armor. I have left you my peace. I have called intercessors to stand in the gap for you. My child, I have put on you the garment of praise. I have poured on you the oil of gladness. You are my child, and I am your father. I have made ALL provision for you. You are a joint-heir with my Son, Jesus, and you are free. In Jesus name you can accept your freedom. And now- my precious child, I fill you anew with love and compassion. I cover you wiht the precious blood of Jesus Christ! I cover you with the blood and you are protected from all the fiery darts of the enemy. My child, you're free!
I Proclaim it!
