Beloved embrace your new season, let no one or nothing keep you from embracing His purpose. He loves you dearly and has spent His whole life to redeem you from your past.
The past 'of who HE is to you' is for others. Let nothing take the place of your renewed purpose and remember the small insignificant things as HE is working greatly behind the scenes.
Be still, silent, and turn away and turn off the idols that steal your time in intimacy with the Lord. Cast all your cares to the Lord, for He cares for you.
When they lie, don't receive their words nor their influence over your life. God is using every detail of our lives and through it all it was for the Lord.
Had we not gone through the trials and hardships He wouldn't be able to rise up. The flesh agrees with the foul spirits that seek to intimidate.
Continue to look up so that the fear of faces and words will not move you again. Look up for your redemption draws near. Do not fear the faces of those who judge you and those who attempt to put you into the chains and shackles of the past by using shame, guilt, condemnation from your sin, indiscretions, and mistakes made.
The Lord has forgiven you, but He cannot help you if you remain entangled with devil’s dealings. Beloved lay on your face leaving the ordeal on the altar to be burnt away.
Give no more place to the accuser, because God is for you not against you. Yes, you feel it and are moved by it, yet the Lord says to you that HE is for you and not against you.
As you take each day remember to confess your sin of unbelief. Realize it may take some time to conquer but what is needed is consistency and for you to forgive yourself even if you doubt and have unbelief.
Didn't my star shine in the east? I will lead you in the way you are to go, so keep your relationship mindful and prayerful.
Even if it's like a little thing that seeks to dull your edge.... continue to give them to God and lay them on the altar, because each time you do it builds upon the other and in time you shall be free from the traps and deeds of the flesh.
The Lord is with you to encourage you so take heart and surrender fully. God is a good God and man is flesh and will always seek to keep you focused on the flesh, sin, and for past sins. Once you know this, it should provoke you to pray and study the Bible. It is time to take back everything Satan has stolen from you...
Your past is not your future. You have to learn to leave all the past on the altar. Commit your entire life over to God. God has forgiven you and has a plan for your life.
Learning to be still, quiet, and disciplined will continually be in opposition because the flesh rises to be preeminent, and you must learn to deny it. Give the flesh no place. We are our worst enemies. God has waited to adorn you and release you from the mindset of the past.
Man may remember our mistakes, but God knows the fullness of each and every detail. Seek the Lord and return to your first love. Even now, beloved, don't you know that it's totally God for HE is the one to please?
The only power the flesh and demons have is when we give him room or place. When we hear and believe his lies our first response should be to take authority with God's word and counteract the devils lies to get you out of unbelief and doubt. Give the devil no more room to discredit and stop you from the plan of God. You have the authority and the power of God's word to back you up.
Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning. God is setting the captives free. But sometimes that means we must walk away from people that are not meant to go with us. Or they simply walk away in silence.
You are in His timing, stay tender hearted and be at peace and know that the Lord has got this! But our part is to confess, repent (turn away from sin), and shake off every restraint that seeks to keep us bound. He is revealing your rising as a humble servant of Christ.
Much Grace and Mercy,
