Take Hold of That for which Jesus Took Hold of You (2)

BUT I PRESS ON TO TAKE HOLD OF THAT FOR WHICH CHRIST JESUS TOOK HOLD OF ME
(Philippians 3:12).

My life has had many opportunities…many courses of action…many options.  However, there has only been ONE PLAN that has contained THAT for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.  The other plans were not necessarily bad.  They contained many good works.  They delivered great results.  However, they did not deliver the God-sized results that only God’s plan could deliver.  I am talking about God’s unique PURPOSE for each individual’s life.

FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM
(Ephesians 2:10).

Beautiful One, I want you to know that I, the Most High God, have a THAT available for YOUR life, too.  My Mastermind has created a marked-out course for your life: a plan to follow…a program of action to take…a purpose to know. Believe that I already have certain projects planned for you…certain assignments lined up…certain accomplishments mapped out.

Child, would you allow Me to guide you to your PURPOSE that was specifically designed for YOU?  I know that the projects you are doing in your life right now are not necessarily bad, but are they THAT, which I have predesigned just for YOU?

May you only be satisfied to walk in THAT which the Lord Jesus has available for you.  And may you discontinue all other projects—good and bad—in order to take hold of THAT!

Have you taken hold of that for which the Lord Jesus took hold of you?

If not, why not? Are you too busy following your own plans? Could it be that you are not willing to give up all the other plans you have been following, in order to take hold of THAT for which God took hold of you? What will it take, then, for you to make a change for THAT?

PRAYER:  Thank you, Lord Jesus, that You have taken hold of me. Thank you that You have taken hold of me to save me from the Orphan ME, the Bad ME, the Victim ME, and the Despicable ME—the sets of accusatory OLD MAN beliefs from the father-of-lies that live in my mind and heart. I praise You, Lord God, that You have also taken hold of me, in order to work Your Purpose in my life.

I surrender myself to You, O Lord, just the way I am: with my particular set of circumstances, my sins, my mistakes, my personality, my finances, and all that I am and do. I do this, so I may take hold of the Purpose for which You have taken hold of me.

God wants you to desire to be important to Him, because you ARE important to Him…and He wants to tell you so, Himself.

BUT I PRESS ON TO TAKE HOLD OF THAT FOR WHICH CHRIST JESUS TOOK HOLD OF ME
(Philippians 3:12).

Has the Lord Jesus taken hold of you?  Have you taken hold of Him?  He bought you salvation from your OLD SELF: from your Bad ME, your Despicable ME, your Victim ME, and your Orphan ME.  Have you taken hold of that?  He came to nail your beliefs “I am bad; I am fatally flawed; I am not wanted; I am forsaken” to the cross, so you may be freed from the effects of these beliefs on your heart.  Have you taken hold of that?

PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! IN HIS GREAT MERCY HE HAS GIVEN US NEW BIRTH INTO A LIVING HOPE THROUGH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD
(1 Peter 1:3).

Recognize that there is a Living Hope available to you, moment-by-moment: a dynamic, effective Living Hope for your despair, a functional, invigorating Living Hope for your fear, a powerful, rejuvenating Living Hope for your depression and grief.  Have you taken hold of that?

JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME
(John 14:6).

Precious One, I, the Lord Jesus, want to show you the way to feel wanted, loved, accepted, and approved, but you need to take hold of Me, so I may lead you there. I, Jesus, want to tell you the Truth about who you are and who I am, but you need to take hold of Me, moment-by-moment, without giving up.  I, Jesus, am offering you My Life, so you may have a life, but you need to take hold of Me, just the way you are.

MAY YOU REALIZE THAT JESUS TOOK HOLD OF YOU

SO THAT YOU MAY TAKE HOLD OF HIM!

Have you taken hold of that for which the Lord Jesus has taken hold of you?

Why don’t you start today? Invite Him into your OLD SELF: into your Bad ME, Despicable ME, Victim ME, and Orphan ME that live in your heart. Embrace the feelings that live there. Expose the beliefs that keep these feelings alive. Ask the Lord Jesus to exchange these OLD SELF characters for His Self. He will give you HIS LIFE, in the place of yours.

PRAYER:  Thank you, Lord Jesus, that You have taken hold of me. Today, I take hold of You. I invite You into my heart to become a dynamic, rejuvenating Living Hope for me, moment-by-moment. Lead me to the place where I will know who You are and who I am. Become a new way for me—a Way of Truth and Hope and Life.

So, yes, the deepest urge in human nature seems to be the desire to be important–to matter. But, it is not the PRINCIPLE of wanting to be important that is wrong; instead, it is the way we adapt or the means we adopt to meet this most urgent desire of our hearts.

Your Decisions Matter

BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU
(Matthew 6:33).

In my life, I have discovered that it is so easy to become a representative of the father-of-lies’ kingdom: a spokesperson for his domain of lies…an advocate for his godlessness and wickedness.  I only need to offer him my will. All I need to do is ACCEPT AND ADOPT the thoughts he introduces on a moment-by-moment basis, and SUPPRESS THE TRUTH offered by the God of Truth, in opposition to these.

Precious One, you need to know that when you adopt a thought offered by the father-of-lies, you have MADE A DECISION to invite the father-of-lies to govern your life, at that moment.  You have placed your whole will under the authority of the father-of-lies and his kingdom.  You have MADE A DECISION to offer your spirit, soul, and body to him to kill, steal, and destroy.

MAN IS NOT FULLY CONDITIONED AND DETERMINED BUT RATHER DETERMINES HIMSELF WHETHER HE GIVES IN TO CONDITIONS OR STAND UP TO THEM.  IN OTHER WORDS, MAN IS ULTIMATELY SELF-DETERMINING.  MAN DOES NOT SIMPLY EXIST BUT ALWAYS DECIDES WHAT HIS EXISTENCE WILL BE, WHAT HE WILL BECOME IN THE NEXT MOMENT
(Victor E. Frankl).

On the other hand, when you turn the father-of-lies’ thoughts over to Me, the God of Truth, you have MADE A DECISION to invite Me to govern your life, at that moment. At that instant, you have placed your whole will under the authority of My Kingdom.  You have MADE A DECISION to offer your spirit, soul, and body to Me, the Most High. Because of your decision, My Truth, Love, and Hope will be revealed to you and through you to those around you.

THE WRATH OF GOD IS BEING REVEALED FROM HEAVEN AGAINST ALL THE GODLESSNESS AND WICKEDNESS OF MEN WHO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH BY THEIR WICKEDNESS
(Romans 1:18).

I bless you to become a self-determining being. Don’t let anyone steal from your spirit, soul, and body. YOUR MOMENT-BY-MOMENT DECISIONS MATTER to the father-of-lies, to the God of Truth, to you, and to those around you.

What do you do with your daily thoughts?

PRAYER:  Lord Jesus, help me to take my will back and become a self-determining being. Bring me to the place where I will stand up and embrace Your Truth for each situation in my life, instead of giving in to the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies. May I understand how important my decisions are, each day, each moment, whatever I do, wherever I go.

God wants you to desire His Love, because He wants to pour His Love directly into YOUR heart, right there where it hurts so much.

Ambassadors for Christ

WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
(2 Corinthians 5:20).

It is so easy to be a representative of my own kingdom…a spokesperson of my own domain…an advocate of my own possessions.

BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS;
AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU
(Matthew 6:33).

I bless you to become an ambassador for Christ—
a representative of your Perfect Father’s Kingdom.

May your body become available to Christ, through which someone may experience
the Dwelling Place of Jesus.

May your hands become available to Christ, through which someone may experience
the Kindness of Jesus.

May your mouth become available to Christ, through which someone may experience
the Gentleness of Jesus.

May your feet become available to Christ, through which someone may experience
the Presence of Jesus.

THY KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM,
AND THY DOMINION ENDURETH THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS
(Psalm 145:13).

May your mind and heart be available to Christ, through which you may experience
Jesus as the Truth, the Way, and the Life.

May your will and desires be available to Christ, through which you may experience
the Obedience of Jesus towards His Father.

God’s Kingdom lasts forever!

Of whom are you an ambassador: your Self or the Lord Jesus? In other words, who lives in you and through you: your Self or the Lord Jesus?

PRAYER:  Lord Jesus, establish Your Self in my mind, my heart, my will, my desires, my nature, and my whole body, so I may become Your ambassador in everything I think, say and do…and in everything I am.

Maintain an Awareness

Be certain that your Father DOES answer your prayers, but His Answer might be different from the one you are expecting.  It might be radical… revolutionary…extreme.  His Answer might not fit your purpose, but it will fit God’s Purpose for you.

May the God of Truth Redeem Your Spirit

BUT THERE IS A SPIRIT IN MAN, AND THE BREATH OF THE ALMIGHTY GIVES HIM UNDERSTANDING
(Job 32:8).

Often, when I am confused, perturbed, or anxious, and I hand this over to God, the Breath of the Almighty gives me understanding.  It is not necessarily an understanding that I can grasp and explain with my mind, at first, but an understanding that places Truth, Hope, and Love directly into my spirit.

FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK, AND POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, AND OF THE JOINTS AND MARROW, AND IS A DISCERNER OF THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART
(Hebrews 4:12).

The active, living Words of the Lord God of Truth are very powerful. They speak into our spirits when we invite His Presence and Participation into our daily perceptions. These Words of Truth redeem our spirits, renew our minds, and heal our bodies.

 INTO YOUR HAND I COMMIT MY SPIRIT; YOU HAVE REDEEMED ME, O LORD GOD OF TRUTH
(Psalm 31:5).

Celebrate that the God of Truth can circumvent your mind to speak directly to your spirit.  His Words of Truth will reach places in your spirit where humans have no access.  The Breath of the Almighty will redeem you from the inside out, through your heart. At first, your mind will not understand His Words or His Perspective. However, the Truth in your spirit will eventually reach your mind…and your mind will become renewed, as well.

Commit your spirit into the hand of the God of Truth, so the Breath of the Almighty may give your mind understanding, from the inside out, through your spirit.

Learn to set your understanding aside, while you listen for the Breath of the Almighty with your heart.

Find your perturbing perception. Feel the emotion that goes along with it. Look for the original place in your childhood where you first believed this perception and felt the accompanying emotions. Then, ask the Lord God of Truth to redeem you. Listen for His Words—the Breath of the Lord God Almighty. Remember, at first, your mind will not understand what He is saying, but your heart will.

PRAYER: Into your hand I commit my spirit, O Lord God of Truth. Redeem me, today.

To Whom Do You Offer Your Emotions?

WOMEN ARE NURTURERS. THERE’S SO MUCH WE CAN DO WITH THE POWER OF OUR FEELINGS, THE POWER OF OUR SENSITIVITY.
(Nicole Kidman)

I have an excess of feelings…a plethora of impressions…an abundance of perceptions.  I am very sensitive, perceptive, and aware.  I am a woman.

DON’T YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU OFFER YOURSELVES TO SOMEONE TO OBEY HIM AS SLAVES, YOU ARE SLAVES TO THE ONE WHOM YOU OBEY—WHETHER YOU ARE SLAVES TO SIN, WHICH LEADS TO DEATH, OR TO OBEDIENCE, WHICH LEADS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS?
(Romans 6:16).

Regardless of whether you are a man or woman, you do not simply exist, but God made you into a self-determining being—a being whose quality of existence depends on your choices. Therefore, be careful whom you obey. Be careful to whom you offer your emotions. Be aware that you will become a slave to the one whom you serve with your emotions.

MAN IS NOT FULLY CONDITIONED AND DETERMINED BUT RATHER DETERMINES HIMSELF WHETHER HE GIVES IN TO CONDITIONS OR STAND UP TO THEM.  IN OTHER WORDS, MAN IS ULTIMATELY SELF-DETERMINING.  MAN DOES NOT SIMPLY EXIST BUT ALWAYS DECIDES WHAT HIS EXISTENCE WILL BE, WHAT HE WILL BECOME IN THE NEXT MOMENT
(Victor E. Frankl).

Precious Child, be careful whom you serve with your emotions. The father-of-lies is constantly looking for a way to use your emotions to serve him. He uses these sensitive characteristics as an open door to enter into your heart and deposit his painful beliefs of non-acceptance into your soul.

However, if you offer your emotions to Me, your Redeemer, your emotions are safe.  They will be filled with My Truth, Hope, and Love.  They will be satisfied with My Joy and Peace.  They will be charged with My Self-control and Patience, for I came to redeem you from all wickedness, so you may belong to Me as My very own.

JESUS CHRIST, WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR US TO REDEEM US FROM ALL WICKEDNESS AND TO PURIFY FOR HIMSELF A PEOPLE THAT ARE HIS VERY OWN, EAGER TO DO WHAT IS GOOD
(Titus 2:13-14).

To whom do you offer your moment-by-moment emotions?

PRAYER:  Lord Jesus, I praise You for giving Yourself for me. Redeem me, my Lord, from all wickedness, and purify me for Yourself, so I may be someone who is Your very own.

In the Midst of Suffering

MAN IS NOT FULLY CONDITIONED AND DETERMINED BUT RATHER DETERMINES HIMSELF WHETHER HE GIVES IN TO CONDITIONS OR STAND UP TO THEM.  IN OTHER WORDS, MAN IS ULTIMATELY SELF-DETERMINING.  MAN DOES NOT SIMPLY EXIST BUT ALWAYS DECIDES WHAT HIS EXISTENCE WILL BE, WHAT HE WILL BECOME IN THE NEXT MOMENT
(Victor E. Frankl).

Life is full of joy, but also full of pain.  There is the pain of feeling alone, companionless, or forsaken.  Then there is the pain of rejection—feeling unwanted and victimized.  Still yet, there is the pain of shame—a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety.  There is also the pain of being bad, evil, or condemned.

Regardless of which pain you have, the determining question is, “What are you going to do with it?”  You see, you do not simply exist, but God made you into a self-determining being—a being whose quality of existence depends on your choices.  YOU ARE NOT CONTROLLED BY ANYBODY.  You have the freedom to choose what you will become in the midst of your pain, even in the next moment.  You have the freedom to decide whether your pain will control you…or you, your pain.  If you believe that you HAVE to obey the message your pain conveys, the father-of-lies has deceived you.  YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO OBEY THE FATHER-OF-LIES!

HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED OF MEN; A MAN OF SORROWS, AND ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF…SURELY HE HATH BORNE OUR GRIEFS AND CARRIED OUR SORROWS
(Isaiah 53:3-4).

I bless you to know that you DO have a choice: to decide who you will be in the midst of your heartache and suffering.  You have the choice to run from your sorrows, hide from your anguish, or blame someone else for your wounds.

In contrast, you have the choice to allow Jesus, a Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief, to bear your suffering and carry your sorrows for you. Then, you will be set free from your emotional pain, regardless of the circumstances that caused them.

WORTHY IS THE LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN TO RECEIVE POWER AND RICHES AND WISDOM, AND STRENGTH AND HONOR AND GLORY AND BLESSING!
(Revelation 5:12).

After looking at the list above, what kind of pain lives in your heart? What is the message your pain transmits?

What have you decided to do with your pain?

PRAYER:  Lord Jesus, Man of Sorrows, I praise You that You have borne my grief and carried my sorrows, so I do not have to bear my grief and carry my sorrows anymore. I surrender the pain in my heart to You, so I may be set free to follow You.

And after we have sucked others empty and they have nothing more to give, we turn to distraction and destruction to ease the excruciating pain that oozes from our hearts…because we still believe we do not matter.

To Say, “I Am Sorry”

Posted by

AND FORGIVE US OUR SINS, FOR WE ALSO FORGIVE EVERYONE WHO IS INDEBTED TO US. AND DO NOT LEAD US INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE
(Luke 11:4).

I once talked to a pre-teen about a lie that had crept into his heart.  You see, the boy believed that he was a failure because of something his dad once said to him.  A few years passed and the boy grew into a handsome teenager.  One day, I ran into him again and enquired about his lie of feeling like a failure.  He cheerfully answered, “Oh, that lie has been removed.”  Astonished at his remark, I asked him how he got rid of this lie.  He answered, “My dad said he was sorry for what he said to me and asked me to forgive him.”

Today I bless you to believe that it does make a difference to say, “I am sorry.”  It does make a difference to offer an apology in a spirit of submission.  It does make a difference to be atoning and show regret.  To say, “I am sorry” can help deliver someone from the evil one.

FOOLS MOCK AT MAKING AMENDS FOR SIN, BUT GOODWILL IS FOUND AMONG THE UPRIGHT
(Proverbs 14:9).

Beloved, you need to understand that to seek forgiveness for an offense could soften someone’s hardened heart and release him from further temptation to hold onto his bitterness.  To be atoning could deliver someone from strongholds set in place by the father-of-lies.  Dropping your defense and offering an apology could make space for My Truth to enter someone’s darkened understanding and set him free.

A GENTLE ANSWER TURNS AWAY WRATH, BUT A HARSH WORD STIRS UP ANGER
(Proverbs 15:1).

Believe that your gentle answer could turn away strong vengeful anger and indignation.  Your gentle answer could soften someone’s heart enough to open a channel for My Grace to enter his soul, for My Hope to be revealed in his mind, and for My Love to heal his heart.  May you be willing to offer an apology to those who might be holding something against you, My Child.  May you do this for My Glory.

Is there someone you owe an apology?

What is standing in your way? I urge you to bring the belief that is keeping you from apologizing, to God, and ask Him for His Perspective.

PRAYER:  Majesty, I bring my doubting heart to You. It is filled with fear and uncertainty. As I bring these negative beliefs to You, fill me with Your Truth, so I may do what is right.

Maintain an Awareness

Know that your struggle is not against the people or the circumstances in your life, but against the spiritual forces of evil—against the OLD MAN beliefs of abandonment, shame, condemnation, and rejection.

Be Silent When You Are Dishonored

WHEN HE WAS ACCUSED BY THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE ELDERS, HE GAVE NO ANSWER. THEN PILATE ASKED HIM, ‘DON’T YOU HEAR THE TESTIMONY THEY ARE BRINGING AGAINST YOU?’ BUT JESUS MADE NO REPLY, NOT EVEN TO A SINGLE CHARGE—TO THE GREAT AMAZEMENT OF THE GOVERNOR
(Matthew 27:12-14).

Have you ever been accused…incriminated…denounced?  Have you ever been treated with disrespect, dishonor, and disgrace?  Jesus has…and He made no reply!

HE WAS OPPRESSED, AND HE WAS AFFLICTED, YET HE OPENED NOT HIS MOUTH
(Isaiah 53:7).

Jesus was afflicted, yet He said no word.  He was oppressed, yet He was silent.

FATHER, IF YOU ARE WILLING, TAKE THIS CUP FROM ME; YET NOT MY WILL, BUT YOURS BE DONE
(Luke 22:42).

When Jesus was accused, oppressed, and afflicted, He did not defend Himself in anger.  He did not argue and try to prove Himself valid.  The only thing that was important to Jesus was to do the Will of the Perfect Father. Therefore, He remained silent.

GOD SENT THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS
(Galatians 4:6).

I remember one time when I felt disrespected and dishonored by someone and vehemently reacted, in offense.  As a result, I was unavailable to God to use me to reach this person’s heart, later.  All that mattered to me at the time was “to take this cup from me.”  I did not care about the Father’s Will.  However, another time, when I felt dishonored, I kept silent and offered the pain of being disrespected, to God.  A month later, God used me to bring His Good News to the same person who had disgraced me, before. This time, I allowed the Father’s Will to be done in my life.

I bless you to know that God sent the Spirit of His Son, who kept quiet when He was accused, into your heart.  May you allow Jesus to respond through you with silence when someone accuses and disrespects you, so that the Will of the Perfect Father may be done through you.

How do you respond to disrespect: do you react vehemently…or do you keep silent?

Why do you respond this way?

PRAYER:  Sovereign God, come and live Your Life in me, Your Love in me, Your Light in me, Your Faith in me, and Your Power in me, so Your Will may be done in and through me.

Love One Another

A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO YOU, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER; AS I HAVE LOVED YOU, THAT YE ALSO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
(John 13:34).

Realize that there is an OLD MAN living his life inside you—an agglomeration of negative, destructive beliefs, instilled in your mind by the father-of-lies.  This collection of OLD MAN beliefs carries a painful, negative message of failure, defilement, and unworthiness.

When my husband and I argue, it is the presence of this OLD MAN and its degrading beliefs “You are not acceptable, You are not worthy, You are not lovable” that cause me to hate myself and consequently despise my spouse. I have noticed that my husband and I cannot love each other from the heart if we perceive ourselves as unworthy, unacceptable, and unlovable.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE PURIFIED YOURSELVES BY OBEYING THE TRUTH SO THAT YOU HAVE SINCERE LOVE FOR YOUR BROTHERS, LOVE ONE ANOTHER DEEPLY, FROM THE HEART
(1 Peter 1:22).

I bless you to understand that your spouse cannot grant you Worth, Acceptance, and God’s Perfect Love.  Instead, the OLD MAN beliefs of defilement, failure, and unworthiness, instilled in your mind by the father-of-lies, need to be given over to the Lord Jesus to be nailed to the cross.  Only after He has exchanged them for new beliefs of Worth, Acceptance, and His Perfect Love will you have sincere love for yourself, your spouse, and the other people in your life.

AND WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US. GOD IS LOVE, AND HE WHO ABIDES IN LOVE ABIDES IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM
(1 John 4:16).

Do you have a hard time loving your spouse? Do you have a hard time loving yourself? I bless you to find the oppressing OLD MAN beliefs in your mind that cause you to feel unlovable, unacceptable, and unworthy, and surrender them to the Lord Jesus. Then, you will receive the Love you need in your heart for yourself and others, for he who abides in Love abides in God, and God in him.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I have been looking for love at all the wrong places: from my friends, from my spouse, and from my parents and children. But, perfect Love comes from You, my Lord, because You ARE Love. Therefore, I lay these OLD MAN beliefs that make me feel unlovable, unacceptable, and unworthy at the foot of Your cross, O Lord. Redeem these negative beliefs, so I may love myself and others from my heart—from Your heart.

Maintain an Awareness

We need to acknowledge that we cannot free our spirits, souls, and bodies from the entanglement of the OLD MAN’s rebellious will. But, with our free will, we can choose to go to the Person who can—the Lord Jesus Christ, who came to live HIS NEW MAN Life in us, in the place of the OLD MAN.
