Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Wednesday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the matchless name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. It is yet another day that you have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad! It is a day to not take granted, as this day has been ordained just for you!
I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am.
This morning's devotional is more practical in nature, but yet spiritual in principle............
James 4:7-8 - *Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. *Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
How many people have you been delivered from? How many places have you been delivered from?
You cried, prayed, and then cried again for this deliverance, and now that deliverance has come, what next?
What happens after the deliverance?
Do you find your flesh rising to go back to that place or person that you have been delivered from? Do you wrestle with doing things the "old way"? Do you consider the question"maybe one more time"?
Now that your deliverance has come, and thank God that it has, PLEASE MOVE ON and DO NOT STAY THERE! Run as fast as you can!
In life we have to learn some hard lessons.
Some of the lessons are very difficult in nature, and yes, sometimes quite unpleasant. But they are quite necessary for growth and maturity. They are necessary for your new level and the ?new thing? that GOD is birthing in your life.
The hard lessons learned, the offenses, the betrayal, the hurt, the guilt, the shame, the lies, the deceit, and the eye opening truths can be considered the labor pains as you give birth and go to another level. Lessons learned come to make you strong and to open your eyes.
Please hear me loud and clear when I say, it would be crazy for you to have your eyes opened and continue to bump your head against the same wall.
Your eyes have been opened for a specific reason!
May the truth set you COMPLETELY free! and I do mean, COMPLETELY!
MOVE ON and DO NOT LOOK BACK! As tempting as it may be, KEEP LOOKING and MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD!
Let me be a personal witness to you today, once GOD delivers you from someone or something, do not insult him by going back into bondage. Been there, done that! I guarantee you that GOD has something greater in store for you. Trust me on this one! He delivered you for a reason and a purpose!
I hear the voice of the LORD saying to you today, Be Free!
Make it an EXCELLENT day!
