God Is Your Covering

WHEN THE WOMAN SAW THAT THE FRUIT OF THE TREE WAS GOOD FOR FOOD AND PLEASING TO THE EYE, AND ALSO DESIRABLE FOR GAINING WISDOM, SHE TOOK SOME AND ATE IT. SHE ALSO GAVE SOME TO HER HUSBAND, WHO WAS WITH HER, AND HE ATE IT.  THEN THE EYES OF BOTH OF THEM WERE OPENED, AND THEY REALIZED THEY WERE NAKED
(Genesis 3:6-7).

When the woman saw that the fruit was good for food, she did what seemed right in her own eyes: she leaned on her own understanding…she believed her own perturbing perceptions…she took the fruit and ate it.  And after she took the bait that the father-of-lies offered her, she realized that she was naked—void of love, hope, and truth. Instead, she was covered with the abandonment, rejection, shame, and condemnation of the father-of-lies, who slyly led her down the broad road of destruction.

RATHER, CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Romans 13:14).

Beloved Child, you need to know that I, your Everlasting Father, provided a new Covering of Hope, Truth, and Love for you through My Son, Jesus Christ.  Under His wings of Love, you will be safe from the father-of-lies’ words of condemnation: “You are not going to make it!”  Behind His shield of Truth, you will be protected from the enemy’s rejection: “You do not belong!”  Under His Trust, you will be shielded from the evil one’s shame: “You are a disgrace!” Under His Acceptance, you will be protected from the father-of-lies’ abandonment: “You are alone!” But it is your obligation to come to Me, just the way you are, naked…exposed…unveiled. Then, I will clothe you with the Covering of My Son—with Hope, Love, and Truth.

HE WILL COVER THEE WITH HIS FEATHERS, AND UNDER HIS WINGS SHALT THOU TRUST: HIS TRUTH SHALL BE THY SHIELD AND BUCKLER
(Psalm 91:4).

Are you naked—void of love, hope, and truth? Know that this is not due to your circumstances, but due to the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies. He has stripped you of God’s Covering of Love, Hope, and Truth.

Come to God just the way you are. Do not try and cover your nakedness. Show your heart to Him, just the way it is, and ask Him to cover you with His Covering of Love, Hope, and Truth. This will give you serenity, safety, and security!

PRAYER: I come to You, Lord Jesus, just the way I am. Tuck me under Your wings of Love. Pull me under Your feathers of Hope. Protect me with Your shield of Truth. Cover me with Yourself.

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.

The Two Counsels

Doing Whatever Is Right in Your Own Eyes

YOU SHALL NOT DO ACCORDING TO ALL WE DO HERE [IN THE CAMP] THIS DAY, EVERY MAN DOING WHATEVER LOOKS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES
(Deuteronomy 12:8).

One of the biggest lessons I have learned is NOT to do whatever looks right in my own eyes.  Doing what is right in my own eyes means to believe every thought—positive or negative—that enters my mind, even the thought that I have no worth. Doing what is right in my own eyes means to lean on my own understanding, even the understanding that I am not loved. Doing what is right in my own eyes means to rely on my own perturbing perceptions, even the perceptions that I am fatally flawed and rejected.

Doing what is right in my own eyes means to live according to my own sinful nature, following the negative, destructive beliefs instilled in my mind by the father-of-lies. Doing what is right in my own eyes means to do my own thing, in my own way, at my own time.

THEREFORE, BROTHERS, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION—BUT IT IS NOT TO THE SINFUL NATURE, TO LIVE ACCORDING TO IT.  FOR IF YOU LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE, YOU WILL DIE; BUT IF BY THE SPIRIT YOU PUT TO DEATH THE MISDEEDS OF THE BODY, YOU WILL LIVE, BECAUSE THOSE WHO ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD ARE SONS OF GOD
(Romans 8:12-14).

Precious Child, you need to know that it does not pay off to do whatever is right in your own eyes, because it leads to death in your spirit, in your mind, and in your body. It leads to despair, guilt, jealousy, and hatred. It leads to darkness.

 Are you looking for Love, Light, and Life?

Then, stop living according what is right in your own eyes. Instead, bring your perturbing perceptions to the Lord Jesus. Allow Him to lead you by His Spirit of Truth into new beliefs of Acceptance, Worth, and Belonging.  Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.  They will find Love, Light, and Life!

PRAYER: Lord God, I realize that in order to walk in Your Love, Light, and Life, I have an obligation: to stop doing what is right in my own eyes, because my natural assumptions are not reliable, and my natural way of perceiving people and circumstances are not in line with Your Perspective.

Therefore, lead me by Your Spirit. Guide me with Your Truth. Nourish me with Your Hope. Furnish me with Your Life.

We run…and run…and run. We run towards bad distractions and destructions like alcohol, drugs, or even crime, or we run towards good distractions like entertainment, or our husbands, wives, friends, or counselors.

The Two Counsels

Seek God with All Your Heart

OH, THAT I KNEW WHERE I MIGHT FIND HIM
(Job 23:3).

There came a time in my life when I realized that I could not live with myself anymore. In me lived an Orphan Me, a Bad Me, a Despicable Me, and a Victim Me, formed by the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies, since childhood. How often did I want to save myself from the rejection of the Victim Me, but I could not carry it out. How often did I want to rescue myself from the shame of the Despicable Me, but I could not perform it. How often did I want to free myself from the condemnation of the Bad Me, but I could not succeed. How often did I try to break loose from the abandonment of the Orphan Me, but I did not know how to. I realized that as long as these OLD MAN characters lived in me, there was no way out of their miserable effect on my life.

YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART
(Jeremiah 29:13).

Finally, I sank down in utter powerlessness.  I could not live with my tormented self anymore.  I had come to the end of ME.  There was only one thing left to do…and I did it.  I sought God with all my heart. I asked Him to set me free from these OLD MAN characters.

And I found Him! God brought me back from captivity. The OLD MAN characters of the Orphan Me, Bad Me, Despicable Me, and Victim Me were nailed to the cross. I was set free from the abandonment that shackled me, the condemnation that chained me, the shame that maimed me, and the rejection that bound me. When I sought God with all my heart, He brought me out of myself into His perfect Love, His incomparable Hope, and His free-setting Truth.

‘I WILL BE FOUND BY YOU,’ DECLARES THE LORD, ‘AND WILL BRING YOU BACK FROM CAPTIVITY’
(Jeremiah 29:14).

Are you tired of living a life shackled by abandonment, chained by condemnation, maimed by shame, and bound by rejection? What are you going to do about this?

Seek God with all your heart. Find the Orphan Me, Bad Me, Despicable Me, and Victim Me characters in you and ask God to nail them to the cross. Let Him replace them with His own Character of Love, Hope, and Truth.

PRAYER: Eternal God, I seek You with all my heart. Let me find You, so You can bring me back from captivity—from the beliefs of abandonment, shame, rejection, and condemnation that live in my mind. Reign in me through Your Character of Love, Hope, and Truth.

The Two Counsels

Take up Your Cross and Follow Me

AND ANYONE WHO DOES NOT TAKE HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME.  WHOEVER FINDS HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT, AND WHOEVER LOSES HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE WILL FIND IT
(Matthew 10:38-39).

There was a time when I followed the OLD MAN in me, ruled by the father-of-lies, to receive comfort from the world. I obeyed the negative, destructive OLD MAN beliefs “You are unworthy, You are unwanted, You are unacceptable, You are unloved,” to receive accolades from others. I allowed the deceitful desires of my sinful nature to rule my life, in order to receive praise from people. To me it was all about what people thought of me—how to impress them the most, so I could receive their honor.

IF ANYONE SERVES ME, LET HIM FOLLOW ME; AND WHERE I AM, THERE MY SERVANT WILL BE ALSO. IF ANYONE SERVES ME, HIM MY FATHER WILL HONOR
(John 12:26).

Precious One, if you are living your life to receive honor and praise from people, you are living your life according to the OLD MAN beliefs of abandonment, rejection, shame, and condemnation. You are doing your deeds, good and bad, for the wrong reasons: to relieve the pain these OLD MAN beliefs are causing you. You are not living for Me.

 Today, I am asking you to come to Me. Stop living your life for accolades, comfort, and honor from people to relieve your OLD MAN pain. I have a cross for you to bear. If you take up your cross and follow Me, My Father will honor you, but if you keep practicing your own righteousness in front of others, only to be seen by them, you are not worthy of Me. You will have no reward from your Father in Heaven.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO PRACTICE YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN FRONT OF OTHERS TO BE SEEN BY THEM. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL HAVE NO REWARD FROM YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
(Matthew 6:1).

Are you living your life to still the OLD MAN pain of abandonment, shame, rejection, and condemnation…or are you bearing the cross the Lord Jesus has given you? What is the difference? The OLD MAN lives in you, in obedience to the father-of-lies, to receive praise from people. The Lord Jesus lives in you, in obedience to God, to receive praise from the Father in Heaven.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, make me willing to follow You. Show me the cross You want me to bear—the good works you have preordained for me, since the foundation of the world. May I be willing to lose my praise-seeking life for You, Lord Jesus, and receive my reward from the Perfect Father.

The Two Counsels

Enter through the Only Door

WE ALL, LIKE SHEEP, HAVE GONE ASTRAY, EACH OF US HAS TURNED TO OUR OWN WAY; AND THE LORD HAS LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL
(Isaiah 53:6).

Have you noticed that we have all gone astray, even us Christians? We live our lives according to the OLD MAN in us—the negative, destructive beliefs of abandonment, shame, condemnation, and rejection. We use our own defense mechanisms to save us from these painful beliefs, instilled in us by the father-of-lies. We have each turned to our own way…and then we say we are doing it for God.

I AM THE DOOR: BY ME IF ANY MAN ENTER IN, HE SHALL BE SAVED, AND SHALL GO IN AND OUT, AND FIND PASTURE
(John 10:9).

Precious One, I am the Door…the ONLY Door. I am the NEW MAN. Unless you come through Me, you will keep living your life for the OLD MAN. Unless you allow Me to take the place of the OLD MAN in you, you will keep living from your own pain. Unless you let me exchange your abandonment for My Belonging, you will keep turning to your own way. Unless you permit Me to replace your rejection with My Love, you will go astray. Unless you allow Me to exchange your shame for My Acceptance, you will live according to your deceitful desires. Unless you let Me replace your condemnation with My Righteousness, you will serve the father-of-lies. Unless you permit Me to exchange your Christian life for My Life, you will miss the reason that I came—to take all your iniquity upon Me, so you may find pasture.

BUT YE HAVE NOT SO LEARNED CHRIST; IF SO BE THAT YE HAVE HEARD HIM, AND HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY HIM, AS THE TRUTH IS IN JESUS: THAT YE PUT OFF CONCERNING THE FORMER CONVERSATION THE OLD MAN, WHICH IS CORRUPT ACCORDING TO THE DECEITFUL LUSTS; AND BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND; AND THAT YE PUT ON THE NEW MAN, WHICH AFTER GOD IS CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS
(Ephesians 4:20-24).

Are you living the Christian life? Then, you, like me, have gone astray. God is not asking us to live the Christian life. Instead, He is asking us to allow the Lord Jesus to live HIS LIFE in you and me.

What does this mean? Give up doing your own thing. Come through the Door to the Lord Jesus Christ. Let Him take all your abandonment, rejection, condemnation, and shame on Him…and allow Him to become the NEW MAN in you.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I confess that I have gone astray. I do my own thing. I live my life, even my Christian life, in my own way, in reaction to the OLD MAN beliefs. Forgive me, Lord Jesus. Become my Door—my Way, my Life, and my Truth. Become the NEW MAN in me and live Your Life through me.

The Two Counsels

Jesus, the Much More of Your Salvation

FOR IF, WHEN WE WERE GOD’S ENEMIES, WE WERE RECONCILED TO HIM THROUGH THE DEATH OF HIS SON, HOW MUCH MORE, HAVING BEEN RECONCILED, SHALL WE BE SAVED THROUGH HIS LIFE!
(Romans 5:10).

I was reconciled to the Perfect Father, through the death of His Son, at an early age. That was a one-time settlement.  But, that was only the beginning.  There is more, MUCH MORE—the MUCH MORE OF OUR SALVATION.

Beloved, I want you to know that I was sent by the Perfect Father to live in you, so that I may share THE FULL GLORY OF MY ROYAL LIFE with you, from the inside-out: My Love…My Light…My Hope…My Joy. 

 Know that My Father did not send Me to improve your life from the outside with glitz and glamor, but to exchange you on the inside for My own Life. I did not come to only restore you to what you had been before you were labeled “shameful”…before you were dubbed “abandoned”…before you were tagged “condemned”…before you were called “rejected.”  No, I came to remove what do not belong in you—the abandoned Orphan, the condemned Criminal, the shameful Cinderella, and the rejected Victim—to put Myself in their place. I came to live My own Life in you. This is the MUCH MORE OF YOUR SALVATION!

I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MAY HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY
(John 10:10).

Do you recognize an abandoned Orphan, a condemned Criminal, a shameful Cinderella, and a rejected Victim in your heart? How are these phantom characters hindering you from the abundant Life? Would you like MUCH MORE than what these characters can offer you?

EMBRACE each phantom character. EXPOSE each one to the redemption and salvation of the Lord Jesus. Ask Him to EXCHANGE each one of them for Himself—HIS OWN MUCH MORE LIFE.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I need MUCH MORE than what these phantom characters can give me. I need YOU. I invite Your Presence and Participation into each one of these characters that lives in my heart. Erase them, Lord Jesus, through Your redemption and salvation, and take their place in my heart. Then, I will have Your Life, Your Hope, Your Light, and Your Joy living in me, from the inside-out.

The Two Counsels

Freedom

IT IS FOR FREEDOM THAT CHRIST HAS SET US FREE. STAND FIRM, THEN, AND DO NOT LET YOURSELVES BE BURDENED AGAIN BY A YOKE OF SLAVERY
(Galatians 5:1).

Know that it is for freedom that the Lord Jesus has set you free: freedom from helplessness…freedom from hopelessness…freedom from powerlessness…freedom from shame…freedom from guilt…freedom from fear…freedom from abandonment…freedom from unworthiness…freedom from condemnation…freedom from sin…freedom from believing that you are a bad person…freedom from rejection—FREEDOM FROM YOUR YOKE OF SLAVERY!

FOR THE LORD GIVES WISDOM; FROM HIS MOUTH COME KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
(Proverbs 2:6).

Beautiful One, allow My Counsel into your heart, then My Wisdom will set you free from the negative belief that you do not belong. Invite My Holy Spirit to renew your mind, then My Power will set you free from the oppressing belief that you do not count. Allow My Perspective into your thoughts, then My Truth will set you free from the accusatory thought that you are a lesser being. Throw your arms wide open and receive the freedom that I, Christ Jesus, hold out to you, Child.  Then, stand firm in this freedom, and do not allow the father-of-lies to lure you back into the yoke of slavery with his beliefs of condemnation, abandonment, rejection, and shame.

SO IF THE SON SETS YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED
(John 8:36).

Are you burdened with a yoke of slavery? Are you inundated with fear? Are you ruled by depression? Are you submerged in shame? Are you scorned by rejection?

Know that the Lord Jesus can set you free from ANYTHING! All you need to do is invite His Presence and Participation into your yoke of slavery.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, You are the Alpha and the Omega, the Light of the World, the King of Kings, the Author and Finisher of my faith, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, the Prince of Peace, my High Priest. Nothing is impossible for You. I invite Your Presence and Participation to set me free from my yoke of slavery, even today.

We now have a moment-by-moment choice: to live our daily lives the way we always have, under the reign of the OLD MAN, or to allow the Lord Jesus to live His NEW MAN Life is us.

The Two Counsels

Love Rejoices with the Truth

LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD.  IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS.  LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH.  IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERES, NEVER FAILS
(1 Corinthians 13:1-7).

How do you love when someone is unkind to you…when someone sets forth his own weakness…when someone’s love fails you?

When someone is unkind to you, do not delight in the evil that was done, but help that person to REJOICE WITH THE TRUTH.  You see, when someone fails you, that person’s heart is hurting, because his heart is filled with negative, destructive beliefs from the father-of-lies.  All kinds of thoughts are swimming through his mind, “I am not good enough.  I am not loved.  I have no purpose.”  He might even be upset at you, because he feels that God favors you above him.  Then, he becomes easily angered, rude, and self-seeking, as he tries to fix the negative, destructive beliefs in his heart with evil solutions.

What do YOU do when someone’s love fails you?  What do you do about the evil thoughts in your heart with which the father-of-lies tempts YOU: that YOU are not good enough…that YOU are not loved…that YOU have no purpose? Do you try to fix evil beliefs with evil solutions, too, by becoming angry, self-seeking, and rude?  Or do you rejoice with the Truth?

Has someone’s love failed you?  Know that your FACTS about the incident are probably true, but your INTERPRETATIONS about the event are most probably false.  Why? You have an enemy—the father-of-lies.  His weapon is deception: the principle of luring you into beliefs that are not true. And these negative beliefs are the reason for the pain in your heart…not the facts.

When someone’s love fails you, rejoice with the TRUTH. Lay your conclusions about the event at God’s feet, and ask Him for HIS PERSPECTIVE, instead!  You will be surprised at the results.

Remember, even if someone’s love fails you, YOU can choose to love him or her with God’s Love that never fails—Love that is kind, gentle, and patient, Love this is not self-seeking, not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs, Love that always protects, always hopes, and always perseveres. YOU always have a choice!

PRAYER: Lord God, fill me with Your Love that never fails, that always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres, that does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the Truth.

The Two Counsels

Put Your Trust in God’s Love

MAY YOU EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF CHRIST, THOUGH IT IS TOO GREAT TO UNDERSTAND FULLY. THEN YOU WILL BE MADE COMPLETE WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF LIFE AND POWER THAT COMES FROM GOD
(Ephesians 3:19).

Beloved, do not put your trust in what is happening in the present. Put your trust in My Love.  Do not put your trust in what might happen in the future.  Put your trust in My Love.  Do not put your trust in your experience of the past.  Put your trust in My Love.  My Love never ends.  My Love never fails.  My Love is perfect.

FOR I AM CONVINCED THAT NEITHER DEATH NOR LIFE, NEITHER ANGELS NOR DEMONS, NEITHER THE PRESENT NOR THE FUTURE, NOR ANY POWERS, NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH, NOR ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL CREATION WILL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD
(Romans 8:38-39).

Put your trust in My Love.  Do not allow rejection to convince you that I have rejected you, too.  Do not let abandonment persuade you that I have abandoned you, also.  Do not allow shame to tell you that you are not good enough for Me, either. Do not let condemnation tell you that I have condemned you, as well. Nothing in all creation will separate you from My Love: not your shame, not your rejection, not your abandonment, not even your condemnation. Bring these beliefs to Me, Child, and I will show you My Love that surpasses your knowledge.

AND I PRAY THAT YOU, BEING ROOTED AND ESTABLISHED IN LOVE, MAY HAVE POWER, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SAINTS, TO GRASP HOW WIDE AND LONG AND HIGH AND DEEP THE LOVE OF CHRIST IS, AND TO KNOW THIS LOVE THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE—THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD
(Ephesians 3:17-19).

Have you experienced Christ’s Love in your abandonment, your shame, your rejection, and your condemnation? Lay these before Him and let Him show you His Love that surpasses all knowledge…even yours.

PRAYER: Lord God, how encouraged I am that Your Love surpasses my knowledge.  Your Love surpasses my beliefs of rejection.  Your Love surpasses my perspective of abandonment.  Your Love surpasses my conviction of shame.  Your Love surpasses my perception of condemnation.  Your Love surpasses death.  Your Love surpasses my past, my present, and my future.

I invite Your Love into the experiences of abandonment, rejection, condemnation, and shame in my life.  Establish and root me in Your Love, so I may be made complete with all the fullness of Life and Power that comes from You.

Your Worth Is Established by God

I had a vision. In the vision I was walking down the broad road of destruction, my hands tied behind my back. Behind me was the enemy—the father-of-lies with his negative, destructive beliefs of shame, rejection, abandonment, and condemnation. In front of me was a cliff from which he was going to push me…to my death. I prayed, “Perfect Father, save me from the broad road of destruction.” Then, I became aware of a band around my wrist. It read: “MY CHILD.” I glanced behind me at the enemy. “My God is coming for me. He will rescue me,” I whispered. Suddenly, I was snatched off the broad road of destruction to safety. But, who was that? There was someone else walking down this road with his hands tied behind his back…in my place. Then, I recognized Him—JESUS CHRIST, THE PERFECT FATHER’S ONLY SON.

HE HAD NO BEAUTY OR MAJESTY TO ATTRACT US TO HIM, NOTHING IN HIS APPEARANCE THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM. HE WAS DESPISED AND REJECTED BY MEN, A MAN OF SORROWS, AND FAMILIAR WITH SUFFERING. LIKE ONE FROM WHOM MEN HIDE THEIR FACES HE WAS DESPISED, AND WE ESTEEMED HIM NOT. BUT HE WAS PIERCED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE PUNISHMENT THAT BROUGHT US PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED
(Isaiah 53:2-5).

Precious Child, did you know that I, the PERFECT FATHER, am the One who established your worth?  I am the One who settled your value.  I put the price tag on you.  On the price tag, I, the Everlasting Father, wrote…JESUS, My Son.

Jesus was pierced…for you. He was crushed…for you. I, the Father, did this…for you. That is how much you are worth…to Me.

Are you walking down the broad road of destruction? Do you want to be saved? Cry out to your Savior, Jesus Christ. He ransomed you from the father-of-lies and his oppressing beliefs of shame, rejection, abandonment, and condemnation. He came in your place…so you may be free.

PRAYER: Perfect Father, I praise You for deeming me worthy enough to send Your Son, Jesus Christ, in my place, so I may be set free from the broad road of destruction. Thank you that You came for me. Thank you that I may belong to You. Thank you, Jesus, for coming in my place.
