Resurrected…

For some time now it has been like I’ve been sinking back into a pit that I have climbed out of before, and with each foot slipping I try to dig in for a firmer stronger footing but I slip back and end up further from being able to get out.

Ever been there, it seems like the same thing you have just dealt with in your life its back and your retraining your mind that everything is going to be okay and your going to get it this time…Well you should know that every time you slip back into the same pattern of a slippery pit eventually you can get out at first it takes a long time or you don’t even realize you’re in the pit to begin with but you’ll be stronger when conquer it. Time and time again it happens but before you know it you’ll be able to notice when it’s happening again and you won’t allow to slip back as far, you’ll be able to move forward sooner, the slippery slope you found yourself on before will be conquered and this time when it surfaces you will be so aware you won’t allow yourself to go there and slip back.

The sermon on Sunday spoke so deeply into my being it took all I had to keep my composure but nearing the end I couldn’t control myself no longer, the depth of the words spoken from the Lords lips into my being awoke me, I have been resurrected by God. I have been stuck in the imprisonment of myself, I have suffering alone in my own barricade of thoughts and the message shared has been one I have wrote in my own posts before and I realized that the beliefs I have in my head have been running wild in my heart and not in a good way. When we line ourselves up with the Word of God He speaks love and life into our hearts, our heads seem to get confused because emotions and feelings set in, because in this world we are run by what feels good at the time and we keep searching for the next feel good things, only God can fully give us what we need and when I look to Him He, picked me to be His, so this reawakening message reminded me of what I had lost and when the words of the sermon were spoken again to me – a resurrection deep inside of me happened.

The resurrection I gained on Sunday was something I needed again as a reminder that no matter what God is it, He raised Jesus from the dead and He raised me out of my death of barricading myself in thoughts that are not true and what others have said about me or what others have never said and I ‘Had’ longed to hear, they do not matter, what God says is the truth the one and only truth that we ever need speaking into our lives.

Luke 8:54&55 NIV. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!” 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them give her something to eat.

Are you dying a slow death inside and you don’t even know it, I didn’t realize what I was doing to myself either and by repeatedly calling myself down and believing in all the negative and terrible things said or done to me, they aren’t still happening so I need to stop torturing myself and let it all go, I need to trust my Heavenly Father and believe Him, I need to ‘get up’.

Father God, I thank You for the words in this post You have given me to share. I thank You for Your daughter obeying and listening contently to Your lasting and loving words she spoke to Your people, may they stir others hearts as much as they have mine and may all Your children look to You only for counsel and worth, value and truth. Lord equip me in the way I should go for You and show me what I can do for You, Lord. I ask You for strength and courageous ability in You to be all You want me to be for You, Lord I am nothing without You and I ask from the depths of my heart for you to strengthen my faith and trust in You and to strengthen my belief also so I don’t withhold You in my pocket but that others see how big and truly magnificent You are through me, give me Your words to speak for I am only a vessel awaiting Your message and Your design for my life. Lord, I am Yours, I am stirred up. Saturate Your love into me so I can show You better and saturate Your Word deeply so it will not fade away. I thank You for my life, forgive me for not obeying properly and forgive me for wasting Your precious gifts You have given to me, help them to be crisp and well known to me so that I may not falter, I thank You for Your love and as Jeremiah 1:9 says Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “Now, I have put my words in your mouth. I also ask for You to touch my lips and place Your words in my mouth, so they will always honor You. I love You Lord, help me know Your truth put it in me, in Jesus, Precious and Holy Name, I pray, Amen.
