The Lord spoke through Jim on Tuesday night. He confirmed some points and truths that the Lord had already been showing me. In 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 Paul writes about the earthly things that can take over our every thought and actions. One mentioned is mourning or weeping, this is true in my own life. Paul tells us to move past these times, don't dwell in them for they will pass away. One day I will be able to be free from the mourning, it won't even matter. It's not for me to worry about, the Lord will take care of it. So why not choose today... to live for a greater and more joyful purpose?!
In the book The Invisible War by Chip Ingram, that I'm reading with my mentor, it spoke about the breastplate of righteousness from the armor of God. Having the breastplate of righteousness frees me from all sin, gets rid of all the unrighteousness in me. I am free, no longer a victim... so why am I still living in it? Reliving that moment over and over. The author wrote "You stand your ground because you believe what God tells you. You are complete in Christ, you are pure in Him, and you reject the trash-talking that evil, demonic whisper is spouting off at you... The time to feel victimized and overwhelmed is over."
I no longer have to live in those heart breaking circumstances. The Lord has given me so many things that are greater, a life full of grace, truth, hope and a future. He wants me to apply the truth NOW, rely on the power that I presently possess. I have so much ahead of me and I don't want to waist my time mourning over the heartache I have experienced. It's time to rejoice because the Lord has rescued me and given me hope, joy and purpose. He loves me and desires to use me for the glory of His kingdom.
So where do I go from here Lord? Where do you want to take me? Teach me? Show me your plan and purpose.
