I woke up this morning, with an even greater desire to live the
Ressurected Lirfe My Savior Jesus Christ paid for me at Cavalry. He paid an
extremely high price so I, his very own, could have the privelage of living an
abundant life. Abundant(above any mediocre life we are settling for now). So
why, if i have been given the marvelous gift of an abundant life, do i continue
to live back there in the mediocre one i created for myself?
I, at that moment, cried out to my Savior, asking him to give me a desire
for excellence. Not perfection, excellence. I asked him to unshackle me that
very instant, from any barriers that have been standing in the way of me walking
in the newness of life He paid for me to live on the Cross. I suddenly so a
vision of the Garden of Eden...how it may have looked before Eve and Adam ate of
the apple. I immediately began to crave that life NOW. I believe that right
there in my bedroom, before my feet even touched the ground and i got up out of
bed, those mental barriers that stand in the way, have been removed by the Lord
Himself. I received a breakthrough this morning, that i have been praying for
months for. That quickly? some may ask? just like that? 123....that easy? too
good to be true....Not if you believe...you mean you didnt have to do anything
but ask and believe to get your healing...you didnt have to suffer some more in
your pain, or work for it..nope, the work for this blessing, the price has
already been paid for it, on the cross...by HIS STRIPES, WE are healed...so is
it easy as 123, not if you consider all Jesus did to make these blessings
available to us....as far as believing that all it takes is believing, in order
to get my inner healing....that didnt come easy for me...that in itself was a
miracle and a blessing...to have the faith to believe that it wont take years of
counseling....to get to my miracle, my healing, my deliverance....my healing was
available for me the day of salvation years ago....however, we cant receive the
healing, until we have faith enough to receive it...you see i could have had my
healing years ago...however, i didnt believe that abundant(above and beyond i
ever ask think dream or imagine life was for me) so i continued to allow the
lies of the enemy to stand in the way of the truth that GOD was trying to speak
into my heart....however...He never gave up, HE shown me how much he loves me
and how faithful he is, by being there for me through my trials and
tribulations, he kept loving on me loving on me loving on me UNTIL i finally
believed, the miracles HE paid for on the Cross could be mine, as well as
others...until it went from my head to my heart...
So with one stroke of HIS gracious hand, HE reached out and touched me with
his blood...and I was healed in an instant, from my past lies i believed....i
believed i was in my spirit, even if i didnt already start walking in that new
life in the natural...
This revelation restored onto me, the Joy of my Salvation. It gave me a
renewed hope that we can live in the Garden of Eden before the apple was eaten,
now, while we are still here on earth, right in the midst of this wicked and
perverse world.
I call this piece the Ressurected Life because it represents this new
attitude this new mindset, that will set my life on a whole new course, a new
beginning, where the mind goes, where the heart goes, the man follows, where the
spirit goes the man follows....i thank GOD the HOLY SPIRIT is taking me
here...
I am so glad the HOLY SPIRIT birthed this inside of me this morning...If i
am going to be pregnant of something from the Lord, i couldnt think of anything
better, then the gift of the Lord asking me to serve HIM by allowing myself to
enjoy life, for believing GOD wants me too....
He let me know that this type of lifestyle, the celebrated life, is not
only possible through HIM, but its for me, as well as others, and its for me,
not when i have it all together in my own eyes and finally begin to see myself
the way GOD sees me, but NOW...right now, all i have to do is ASK HIM to help
me....
you see....before today....i lived my life daily carrying that cross....
but Jesus didnt spend his whole life carrying the cross...he eventually stopped
carrying it, took his last breath of suffering and ressurected to the newness in
HIM..and began to live HIS life seated at the right hand of the father....
i call this piece the ressurected life because my focus is on what happens
to us, after Jesus rose....and ascended into heaven...when He sends the HOLY
SPIRIT to live in and through us...and HE places on us our OWN robe of
righteousness, that we are able to wear, as long as we are hidden in HIM.
you see my friends, i keep trying to on my own carry my cross to the top of
the hill, as if i ever could.
i need to remember that the Cross HE carried when HE walked up the hill of
Cavalry was not only the sins of all mankind, but MY SINS, MY BURDENS, MY PAIN,
SWEAT TEARS ILLNESSES, of yesterday today and tommorow.
This Easter Sunday, I was set free of this mental bondage, false mindset.
Its like i didnt even realize i did, but i mentally took off my robe of
righteousness, not really,i still wore it, but i didnt see myself as being
clothed in it. so i lived a life as if i had no robe, but i had one, in doubt
fear and anxiety and depression.
Friday night, I heard an old bible song, "Does the peace of God rule in
your heart?" While i was listening, the word RULE kept jumping out at
me....Usually i would hear a song like this, and the word PEACE, would be my
focus, and i would be like" i know that peace, and stop there," which is why i
believe there was a special reason why GOD had the word RULE be the one i
hear...
That word RULE stayed with me the whole night. Through it the Lord revealed
that I experience the peace of GOD daily. However, it doesnt always RULE in my
heart. What HE means by this, and its sadly true of this past year...is that
although i experience Gods peace that passes all understanding in the midst of
my storms and valleys and deserts...there is another thing that rules in my
heart, the negative lack of peace i hear feel and experience....the fear that
comes from the lies i believe is as present within me as the peace GOD is giving
me at the same time, and it gets in the way of me embracing fully the gift of
GOD...
I am not fully resting in HIM, i could wake up with the peace, but at the
end of the day, i could end up a mess...its not constant...i want that peace to
be constant...
Well this Sunday I asked for these shackles to come off, this is a bondage
that is getting in the way of me enjoying the abundant life, and walking in all
HE paid for me on the cross, and entering into my destiny, the purpose and plan
HE has for my life. Of course, there is no physical barrier that could ever
stand in the way of us receiving Christ in HIS FULLNESS, only a false
perception(the lies we believe) could ever be a wall....although there really is
no wall there..."nothing can seperate us from HIS LOVE" we think there is a wall
there...and its as real to us as if i was really there....and it gets in the
way....you see...its like we are walking around like we only can go so far...yet
the sky is the limit...so we might as well have limited resources, because we
live our life as if we have only so far we can go...that is why i asked GOD for
the desire to see my life as the sky is the limit, giving me the desire for
excellence...because HE paid for that type of lifestyle, the best way to thank
HIM for the suffering HE endured for on the cross, is begin living an abundant
life, not a mediocre one i been settling for, by pushing past the obstacles,
that stand in the way...i can do that, i believe it now, why? because its as
close to me as the mention of his name, all i have to do is call out to him, and
he will be right there in a split second to help me, amen, in Jesus
Name...
