Be Free

Let Us remove the Love-blockers within you. What blocks you from receiving Our Love? Fear, pride, jealousy, lust, greed, idolatry, anger, unforgiveness, uncontrolled emotion, religion . . . these will replace Our Love in your heart. They must be removed so Truth and Life can take over. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, or anyone practicing homosexuality, 10 no thieves, greedy people, drunkards, verbally abusive people or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom. 11 And some of you used to be like this. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Peter 2:1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. 1 Peter 1:22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

Whose Voice?

A tactic of the enemy is to wear out his opponent. When you are exhausted your emotions do not remain subdued. Truth and My Voice are more difficult to hear. Do not allow the enemy to keep you busy with work that is not from Me. Follow only Me. I will not lead you by guilt or condemnation, fear or pride. If you take on work or ministry motivated by those voices then you are following a stranger that wants to rob your time and energy and peace. Follow Me. John 10:27-30  27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one. 2 Timothy 2:4 No one in military service gets entangled in matters of everyday life; otherwise he will not please the one who recruited him. Ephesians 6:13 For this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand. 2 Corinthians 2:10  And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. John 2:24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people. 25 He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man. Isaiah 53:6 All of us had wandered off like sheep;each of us had strayed off on his own path, but the Lord caused the sin of all of us to attack him. Philippians 1:9 And I pray this, that your love may abound even more and more in knowledge and every kind of insight 10 so that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ, Proverbs 16:28 A perverse person spreads dissension,and a gossip separates the closest friends. 1 Peter 2:12 and maintain good conduct among the non-Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Corinthians 6:18. . . ”I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

Moving on

Water that isn’t moving and being added to, grows stagnant and toxic. Keep moving forward. Leave yesterday behind and don’t look back. Meditating on pain and injustice will keep you in pain and injustice. Living in the past is toxic. It produces soul bacteria of fear, paralysis, depression and hopelessness. It makes forgiveness almost impossible. It brings more questions than answers. It will stunt your growth and make you soul-sick. Parasites from the evil one invade and make your mind their breeding ground. Philippians 3:13 But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Fight!

When someone is offended, they look for dirt instead of gold. When someone has fear, they look for the worst possibilities instead of what is true. When someone is complaining, they overlook their blessings and the gifts all around them and don’t give thanks. When someone is depressed, they feel the weight of every drop of rain, and don’t look up at the sun just behind the clouds. Fight the good fight of faith. Bind and cast out all demons of offense, fear, discontent and depression from you. Loose the Spirit of Truth, forgiveness, faith, hope and Love. Keep your mind on these things. Together we win the fight. Be free. I have set you free. Matthew 18:18 18 Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. 2 Corinthians 10:5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ

Fear ? . . . not from the Father

Do not let fear stop you from being used by Us. The enemy uses fear to try to stop My servants from serving Me. Do not let certain theology and the spirit of the Pharisees prevent you from serving Me with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  Read Matthew 25:24-25 with understanding. Matthew 25:24-25 And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, “Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.

Voices of Strangers

Blindly follow only My Voice. Strangers have voices that you can hear and feel. Do not follow them. Test the voice you are following. Do you feel fear? Anger? Impatience? Self-love? These are voices of strangers. Bind them and cast them out the same way My Father cast out the wedding guest who was not wearing wedding guest garments. Matthew 22:11-14 11“But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Who do you trust in, your limited understanding or My infinite knowledge?

Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you won’t be afraid if you close your eyes and your ears, the way you did when you were little and afraid to look at something just ahead. Stop using your eyes for anything except very surface-level necessities. Literally close your eyes and stop up your ears (or put My music in them) over and over every day. Then let My Voice and Presence guide you. Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Hebrews 12:1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, 1 Peter 3:12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer.

Blindness grows dependence

Blinders were used to keep warhorses from fear. The horses learned to trust the guidance of their master, rather than their eyes. The horses did not predict or assume. The blinders kept them from fear and pride. The humbled, dependent horses could walk through anything because they were limited in sight. Therefore, they grew in dependence. Psalm 121:1-2 He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber. Matthew 6:24 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Isaiah 41:13 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Thoughts Day 11

If someone knocks at your door, the first thing you want to know is, who is it? Is the person a friend or foe? The thoughts that you had yesterday, were they friends or foes? If a thought that enters your mind is one of peace, welcome it. A true friend brings peace. If a thought that enters your mind is one of fear, kick it out of your house. Enemies bring threats and trouble. You are the doorkeeper of the house of your mind. You have the keys. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. You become the thoughts that you allow to enter. Just as you become like the people that you hang around, you become like the thoughts that you allow to hang around inside of your mind. Be an active doorkeeper. Look through the window before you open the door. Make a decision. Do you want this one to come inside? Do you want the next one to come inside? Whatever you let inside will try to put down roots and stay there. Make decisions all day about each thought that enters your mind. Evaluate them. Are they friends or foes? Do you want them to stay and put down roots? Do you want to become just like them? A very young child can freely laugh with joy. What is inside of a young child? How much would you give for a peaceful mind? A mind at peace is a mind at rest. A mind at peace allows its body to rest. A mind at peace is an inner life without war. Does meditation on the unfairness of life bring peace? Does remembering the injustices give rest? Where do fearful thoughts come from? Do you choose fear as your inner home? Do longings and desires bring joy? Look again at a well-fed baby. Where does his peace come from? What can you do today to gain a peaceful mind? If fear is not your desire for your mind, what can you do to protect your mind from this invader? If anger is not your will for your inner life, how can you be free from it? If sadness is not the real you, how can you leave it behind? If destructive desires have been your owner, how can you be free? If deceiving thoughts have cheated you out of a good life and left you with many regrets, how can you banish them? There are many paths to choose from each day. Which thoughts have become your guides? Have these guides been good to you? If not, how can you exchange them for a different Guide? Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Thoughts – Day 10

Everyone needs a safe place to live. Is your mind a safe place for you? Are you and your mind one the same thing or are you and your mind separate? In other words, are you your mind? Is your mind you? If your mind is not you, is your mind trustworthy? Is it a friend for you or is it sometimes like an enemy towards you? When your mind is not a safe place for you, where can you go? When your inner life is not your place of peace, what can you do? If your thoughts are not your friends, who can you listen to? Can anyone else help? Do others have the same problem? Do they openly talk about it or do they hide it? Do the people around you hide an inner life of fear, pain, and anger? Or, are they free? Have you ever seen someone who is free? Are you free? Do you want to be free? Where is safety? Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
