Let Go of the Charge

Posted by

0

Do you struggle with the thought that nobody understands you…that nobody knows who you are…that nobody understands the way you function?  Do you feel that you are a mystery: inexplicable…baffling…insolvable?

Maybe you were mistreated and misunderstood as a child and given no chance to justify your actions.  Maybe you were left seething with anger and disappointment, believing that you had no defense. Maybe you perceived that there was no way of being released from the charge, because there was no way of setting things right.

THE LORD DOES NOT LOOK AT THE THINGS MAN LOOKS AT. MAN LOOKS AT THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE, BUT THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART
(1 Samuel 16:7).

Precious Child, you need to know that I, the Most High, understand you…and also understood you when you were a child.  I, your Perfect Father, do not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but I can see your heart. Be comforted that I know your heart…and I knew your heart when you were a child.  Your Perfect Father never misunderstands and I never misunderstood you when you were a child.

KNOW YE THAT THE LORD HE IS GOD: IT IS HE THAT HATH MADE US, AND NOT WE OURSELVES; WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, AND THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE
(Psalm 100:3).

I bless you to be comforted.  The God who made you understands you.  No thought is withheld from Him. You can let go of the charge.

I KNOW THAT THOU CANST DO EVERY THING, AND THAT NO THOUGHT CAN BE WITHHOLDEN FROM THEE
(Job 42:2).

Was there a time during your childhood when you were treated unfairly, because you were not understood? In the meantime, has this caused resentment, fear, and confusion to develop in your heart?

Are you tired of living with the resentment, fear, and confusion that have settled in your heart? Invite God’s Presence and Participation into the painful feeling of being misunderstood. Allow Him to look into your heart…and set things right.

PRAYER: Lord God, how comforting to know that You can see what is in my heart.  How good to know that You know the Truth, even when others misunderstand me. Please come into my heart and set me free from the pain of being misunderstood. Fill me with Your comforting Truth.

Be Quick to Listen

MY DEAR BROTHERS, TAKE NOTE OF THIS: EVERYONE SHOULD BE QUICK TO LISTEN, SLOW TO SPEAK AND SLOW TO BECOME ANGRY
(James 1:19).

I encourage you to think of someone you know who is hurting deeply right now.  Know that you can be of great comfort to your friend by being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.

Be quick to listen. Listen carefully. Listen observantly. Listen with patience. Listen, so you may understand her problem. Be attentive to your friend’s heart.  Allow her to feel…to perceive…to experience.  Her emotions will help her to connect with her heart, her pain, and with God.

BUT THE COUNSELOR, THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME, WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS
(John 14:26).

Be slow to speak.  Know that it is not your advice that counts, your perception that is needed, your understanding that is important, but the advice of God, the Counselor.  Encourage your friend to talk to you, so she can hear what her own heart is trying to tell her. Then, lead her to God, the Counselor. He will tell her what she needs to know.

BE…SLOW TO BECOME ANGRY, FOR MAN’S ANGER DOES NOT BRING ABOUT THE RIGHTEOUS LIFE THAT GOD DESIRES
(James 1:19, 20).

Be slow to become angry.  Be careful that your own pain does not get in the way and cause you to become angry when you listen to another’s pain.  It is not about your pain when you are helping someone else.  Surrender your own heart-ache to God, the Counselor, so you may be a better listener to your friend.

How do you respond to another’s pain? Are you reluctant to listen…to be still…to understand? Are you quick to react…to speak…to give advice?

Be quick to listen.  Be slow to speak.  Be slow to react to another’s pain and become angry.  Instead, help your friend connect with God and hear His Perspective, so she may be comforted.

PRAYER: Most High, remind me, daily, that You have sent the Counselor to teach us all things, at all times. Remind me to not get in the way when someone confides in me, but to listen and understand with the purpose of directing everyone to the Counselor.

Maintain an Awareness

It is very important that you understand that it is not so much what happened to you during your childhood that affected you the most, BUT WHAT YOU CAME TO BELIEVE ABOUT YOUR SELF, OTHERS, AND GOD, IN RESPONSE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES (facts) of your childhood life.

He Sets You High Upon a Rock

BE JOYFUL IN HOPE, PATIENT IN AFFLICTION, FAITHFUL IN PRAYER
(Romans 12:12).

Beloved, be patient in your affliction.  Do not turn to damaging ways, trying frantically to hide from your pain. Distraction does not bring lasting relief, and wearing a mask only makes matters worse.  Instead, come to Me. Let Me set you safely upon a high Rock. Remember, you have a choice. Choose to overcome

FOR IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE HE WILL KEEP ME SAFE IN HIS DWELLING; HE WILL HIDE ME IN THE SHELTER OF HIS TABERNACLE AND SET ME HIGH UPON A ROCK
(Psalm 27:5).

Beautiful One, be patient in your suffering: when someone accuses you…when someone leaves you…when someone fails you.  Do not run to destructive ways, trying to relieve your pain instantly.  Instead, run to Me. Let My Name be a strong Tower to you. Remember, you have a choice. Choose to overcome.

THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER; THE RIGHTEOUS RUN TO IT AND ARE SAFE
(Proverbs 18:10).

Precious Child, be patient during temptation—when someone displays his own weakness.  Do not turn to unwholesome ways, trying to still your pain by blaming it on the other person’s faults.  Instead, own your own pain and take responsibility for it. Let Me pull you to safety under My Wings. Remember, you have a choice. Choose to overcome.

HE WILL COVER YOU WITH HIS FEATHERS, AND UNDER HIS WINGS YOU WILL FIND REFUGE; HIS FAITHFULNESS WILL BE YOUR SHIELD AND RAMPART
(Psalm 91:4).

Are you patient during affliction, or do you turn to distraction and destruction to find relief?

Know that God expects us to overcome affliction, because “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life” (2 Peter 1:3). Furthermore, “to him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne” (Revelations 3:21 NKJV). Remember, you have a choice. Instead of running from your pain, hiding from it, or blaming it on others, you can choose to overcome…today.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, teach me to be patient in affliction, so I may overcome.

Maintain an Awareness

If you would turn to the Desire of All Nations and receive the Love, Righteousness, and Purpose He has stored up for you in His Presence, you will be satisfied.

Focus on the Route of Escape God Has Provided

Posted by

NO TEMPTATION HAS SEIZED YOU EXCEPT WHAT IS COMMON TO MAN. AND GOD IS FAITHFUL; HE WILL NOT LET YOU BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN BEAR. BUT WHEN YOU ARE TEMPTED, HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE A WAY OUT SO THAT YOU CAN STAND UP UNDER IT
(1 Corinthians 10:13).

What temptation has seized you?  Was your brother hateful, spiteful, or unfaithful to you…and now you feel rejected?  Take heed! Do not take the escape route of quarreling.  Did your co-worker blame her failure on you…and now you feel slighted?  Be careful! Do not take the escape route of defending yourself.  Has a friend stopped returning your phone calls…and now you feel abandoned?  Stop! Do not take the escape route of pursuing her until she is brought down.

SUCH A HIGH PRIEST MEETS OUR NEED—ONE WHO IS HOLY, BLAMELESS, PURE, SET APART FROM SINNERS, EXALTED ABOVE THE HEAVENS.  UNLIKE THE OTHER HIGH PRIESTS, HE DOES NOT NEED TO OFFER SACRIFICES DAY AFTER DAY, FIRST FOR HIS OWN SINS, AND THEN FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE.  HE SACRIFICED FOR THEIR SINS ONCE FOR ALL WHEN HE OFFERED HIMSELF
(Hebrews 7:26-27).

Beautiful One, capture that I, Jesus, am your High Priest who came to meet your needs. I sacrificed My Self for you to become your Route of Escape.  I have become God’s Way Out for you.

Therefore, accept the Love that I, your Savior, hold out to you, instead of focusing on the temptation.  Receive the Hope that I, your High Priest, have on hand for you, instead of focusing on your own escape routes.  Secure the Truth that I, your Redeemer, have ready for you, instead of focusing on your own way out.

THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU; YOU NEED ONLY TO BE STILL
(Exodus 14:14).

What temptation has seized you during this last week? How did it make you feel? What route of escape have you chosen to make your heart feel better?

I bless you to focus on God’s way out—Jesus, who sacrificed Himself once for all. If you turn your pain over to Him, He will provide a way out, so you can stand up under it.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, thank you that You always have a way out for me, even when I feel rejected, slighted, or abandoned. Remind me, daily, not to take my own way out when I feel bad, mad, or sad, but to surrender my broken heart to You, and wait for You to provide the right way out.

Temptations give us many opportunities to be trained in God’s Holiness.

To Love Jesus Is to Obey Him

Posted by

WHOEVER HAS MY COMMANDS AND OBEYS THEM, HE IS THE ONE WHO LOVES ME
(John 14:21).

Know that to love Jesus is to obey Him.  One way to obey Jesus is NOT to surrender to your childhood pain…but to surrender your childhood pain to Him.

 ‘BECAUSE HE LOVES ME,’ SAYS THE LORD, ‘I WILL RESCUE HIM; I WILL PROTECT HIM, FOR HE ACKNOWLEDGES MY NAME.  HE WILL CALL UPON ME, AND I WILL ANSWER HIM; I WILL BE WITH HIM IN TROUBLE, I WILL DELIVER HIM AND HONOR HIM’
(Psalm 91:14-15).

Do you sometimes feel like a little six-year-old orphan: someone who is in the way…someone who is lost…someone who does not belong?

Do you sometimes feel like a shameful little eight-your-old criminal: someone who is evil from the inside out…someone who is irredeemable…someone who is not going to make it?

Do you sometimes feel like a twelve-year-old outcast: someone who is just a worthless bum…someone who is not accepted as part of the in-crowd…someone who does not matter?

I bless you to bring the little abandoned orphan, who still lives in your heart, to the Lord Jesus. Allow Him to heal the abandonment, fix the neediness, and get rid of the loneliness. Because you love the Lord Jesus, He will rescue you from the childhood conclusions that have been keeping you captive.  I encourage you to introduce the shameful little eight-year-old criminal to the Lord Jesus, your Savior. Allow Him to redeem it…forever. When you call upon Him, He will answer you.  I urge you to bring the twelve-year-old outcast, who still hides in your heart, to the Lord Jesus. Invite Him to heal the rejection, fix the unworthiness, and remove the depravity. He will protect you from the control of the father-of-lies, because you acknowledge His Name.

JESUS SAID, ‘IF YOU HOLD TO MY TEACHING, YOU ARE REALLY MY DISCIPLES. THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE’
(John 8:31, 32).

What six-year old pain is still stuck in your heart? What eight-year-old conclusions still dwell in your spirit? Which twelve-year old interpretations still inhabit your mind?

Do not avoid the burden.  Do not deny the problem.  Do not simply endure the emotions.  Embrace the little child in you…and expose it to Jesus. He will exchange it for a mature adult.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I expose the child in my heart to You. Rescue me from the false childhood conclusions. Protect me from the evil one. Deliver me from the past.

Everything That Hinders

FOR WE WHO ARE ALIVE ARE ALWAYS BEING GIVEN OVER TO DEATH FOR JESUS’ SAKE, SO THAT HIS LIFE MAY BE REVEALED IN OUR MORTAL BODY
(2 Corinthians 4:11).

I have realized recently how many times a day Self, the OLD ME character the father-of-lies has shaped in me, needs to be given over to death, so that the Life of Jesus might be revealed through my actions and reactions.

There are so many opportunities in my daily life where I have a choice to give Self over to death, for Jesus’ sake.  There are the times when my Self feels threatened by other people’s successes.  There are the times when my OLD ME character feels attacked by other people’s selfishness.  There are the times when I feel discouraged, alone, and afraid. The sin that lives in Self so easily hinders and entangles.

The other day I felt my Self cancelled by someone’s selfish remarks. When I took the pain of feeling annulled and deleted to the Lord Jesus, He answered, “But your Self DOES need to be cancelled, so that I may live in you. Stop defending your Self…and let it die.”

LET US THROW OFF EVERYTHING THAT HINDERS
AND THE SIN THAT SO EASILY ENTANGLES,
AND LET US RUN WITH PERSEVERANCE THE RACE MARKED OUT FOR US
(Hebrews 12:1).

I bless you to throw off everything that hinders the Life of the Lord Jesus being revealed in your actions and reactions, even if it means that your Self gets knocked off its throne.

What will it take for you to stop defending your OLD ME…and let it die? Are you willing to allow the Lord Jesus to use another person’s selfishness to delete, annul, or cancel your Self?

Know that the only way to give Self over to death is to give Self over to JESUS, every day, a hundred times a day, whenever it is provoked.  JESUS IS YOUR SAVIOR.  All authority has been given to Him.  He is the only one who has the power to tie the noose around Self and its sinful habits and patterns.  Since there is only space for one or the other in your body, will you allow Jesus to get rid of Self and put HIMSELF in its place?

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, let me run with perseverance the race marked out for me. Help me to realize that each person’s race is customized and that I cannot run another person’s race for her/him and that another person cannot run my race for me. I surrender my Self to You—the OLD ME with its sin that so often hinders and entangles. Knock it off its throne, Lord God, and take Your rightful place on the throne in my heart.

Sin is not something mysterious…something unexplainable…something that happens to you. Sin does not stand alone. It does not happen by itself. Sinful solutions have a source—the source of the OLD MAN.

Cut the Ropes that Hold Your Life Patterns

SO THE SOLDIERS CUT THE ROPES THAT HELD THE LIFEBOAT AND LET IT FALL AWAY
(Acts 27:32).

I bless you today to consider cutting the ropes that are holding your lifeboat of sinful defense mechanisms afloat…and let it fall away.

Cut the ropes that are keeping your sinful Self alive.  Know that Self loves to sulk, spending time in dejection and hopelessness when things don’t go its way.  Self is not self-controlled, but often surrenders to uncontrolled anger and rage when it is provoked.  Self reacts to its deceitful desires with patterns of over-indulgence, mind-reading, and forsaking its tasks whenever it is aroused. Self has gone astray, heeding the lies of the father-of-lies.

HE HIMSELF BORE OUR SINS IN HIS BODY ON THE TREE, SO THAT WE MIGHT DIE TO SINS AND LIVE FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS; BY HIS WOUNDS YOU HAVE BEEN HEALED. FOR YOU WERE LIKE SHEEP GOING ASTRAY, BUT NOW YOU HAVE RETURNED TO THE SHEPHERD AND OVERSEER OF YOUR SOULS
(1 Peter 2:24-25).

Do not keep your sinful Self with its deceitful desires alive, but return to the Overseer of your soul.  The Lord Jesus bore your sins on the cross, so you might die to Self’s sinful defense mechanisms, and allow the Righteousness of Jesus to live through you.

THEREFORE, RID YOURSELVES OF ALL MALICE AND ALL DECEIT, HYPOCRISY, ENVY, AND SLANDER OF EVERY KIND. LIKE NEWBORN BABIES, CRAVE PURE SPIRITUAL MILK, SO THAT BY IT YOU MAY GROW UP IN YOUR SALVATION, NOW THAT YOU HAVE TASTED THAT THE LORD IS GOOD
(1 Peter 2:1-3).

Therefore, allow the Lord Jesus to rid you of your sinful Self, who is full of malice and deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.  Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that your Perfect Father has sent the Lord Jesus to become your Righteousness in place of your Self.

What does your sinful Self look like? Which sinful defense mechanisms are keeping your sinful Self alive?

What will it take for you to cut the ropes—the sinful defense mechanisms —that are keeping your sinful Self alive? The Lord Jesus is waiting to give His Life of Righteousness to you in the place of Self. When will you accept His offer?

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, bring me to the place where I will cut the ropes that are keeping my sinful Self alive. I long for You to fully live in my heart, in the place of my Self, so that I may grow up in my salvation.

Your Heart Is the Wellspring of Life

A MALICIOUS MAN DISGUISES HIMSELF WITH HIS LIPS, BUT IN HIS HEART HE HARBORS DECEIT.  THOUGH HIS SPEECH IS CHARMING, DO NOT BELIEVE HIM, FOR SEVEN ABOMINATIONS FILL HIS HEART
(Proverbs 26:24-25).

Understand that your heart is a reservoir that either holds deceit from the father-of-lies…or Truth from the Lord Jesus Christ.  You will know who fills your heart by listening to the words you speak.

CHRIST…FILLS ALL THINGS EVERYWHERE WITH HIMSELF
(Ephesians 1:23).

Listen to your mouth. Does it speak proud words of self-praise and self-glory? This might be an indication that your heart is filled with the father-of-lies’ abomination of shame. JESUS WANTS TO FILL YOUR HEART WITH HIS SELF, so you may feel worthy and acceptable.

Listen to your mouth. Does it speak hateful words of bitterness and jealousy?  This might be an indication that your heart is filled with the father-of-lies’ abomination of rejection.  JESUS WANTS TO FILL YOUR HEART WITH HIS SELF, so you may feel wanted and needed.

Listen to your mouth. Does it speak negative words of hopelessness and despair?  This might be an indication that your heart is filled with the father-of-lies’ abomination of abandonment.  JESUS WANTS TO FILL YOUR HEART WITH HIS SELF, so you may feel loved and lovable.

ABOVE ALL ELSE, GUARD YOUR HEART, FOR IT IS THE WELLSPRING OF LIFE
(Proverbs 4:23).

Remember, you will only be as good on the outside as you are on the inside. Therefore, guard your heart.  It is the wellspring of life. Know that you do not have to live with these abominations of rejection, abandonment, shame, and condemnation in your heart, forever. You have a choice, today, to invite the Lord Jesus to fill your heart with His Self, instead.

Which abominations of deceit fill you heart? How do they influence your speech, daily?

The Lord Jesus wants to fill your heart with His Self, but you need to stop disguising the abominations in your heart with sinful speech of self-praise, criticism, and bitterness. Rather, EMBRACE the abominations in your heart, EXPOSE them to the Lord Jesus, and allow Him to EXCHANGE them for His Self. Then, your speech will change, too.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, help me to invite Your Presence and Participation into my heart, moment-by-moment, when I notice that my words are negative, belittling, prideful, or hateful. Remind me, daily, to guard my heart, since it is the wellspring of life.

Restore with Gentleness

BROTHERS, IF SOMEONE IS CAUGHT IN A SIN, YOU WHO ARE SPIRITUAL SHOULD RESTORE HIM GENTLY. BUT WATCH YOURSELF, OR YOU ALSO MAY BE TEMPTED
(Galatians 6:1).

I bless you with a special anointing to restore…to restore with gentleness.

I encourage you to think of someone you know who is weary and weak—someone who might be trapped in the lies of the father-of-lies.  Take note that you can be of great help and comfort to your friend by being willing to restore him…gently.

Understand that when someone is trapped in a lie, he might behave irrationally.  He might express anger.  He might show jealousy.  He might breathe animosity.  However, regardless of the behavior he displays on the outside, deep in his heart he feels hopeless…helpless…powerless.  Therefore, he hungers for Love—God’s Love.  He hungers for God’s Hope, God’s Truth, and God’s Peace.

HE GIVES STRENGTH TO THE WEARY AND INCREASES THE POWER OF THE WEAK
(Isaiah 40:29).

Grasp that often, when someone is lying with his face in the dust, he is not able to reach God’s outstretched hand of Love, Hope, and Truth.  Recognize that the heavy burden of hopelessness, helplessness, and powerlessness paralyzes a person and can prevent him from looking up into God’s face. Sometimes, a person might need someone to pick him up. Are you willing to extend your hand…and your heart?

ARISE [FROM THE DEPRESSION AND PROSTRATION IN WHICH CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE KEPT YOU—RISE TO A NEW LIFE]! SHINE (BE RADIANT WITH THE GLORY OF THE LORD), FOR YOUR LIGHT HAS COME, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD HAS RISEN UPON YOU!
(Isaiah 60:1).

Do you know of someone who is lying face down in the dust, feeling hopeless, helpless, and powerless under the lies of the father-of-lies?

Stoop down with gentleness and pick your friend up.  Do not condemn, criticize, or control.  These are sinful behavior patterns that only ease your own pain.  Instead, encourage, bless, and understand. Then, you will witness a miracle. You will see your friend arise from the prostration in which circumstances have kept him…to take God’s Hand.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, fill my heart with Your Gentleness, Your Kindness, and Your Understanding.  Fill my heart with Your Nature, so I may restore those who have fallen face down into the dust. Help me to only see the other person’s pain and not react to my own. Work Your Righteousness in me, so I may restore others with blessings and understanding instead of criticism, condemnation, and control.

COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST
(Matthew 11:28).

I bless you to come to the Lord Jesus, first, when you are heavy laden, BEFORE you seek the advice and comfort of your friends and family.

IF ANY MAN THIRST, LET HIM COME UNTO ME, AND DRINK
(John 7:37).

 FOR HE SATISFIES THE THIRSTY AND FILLS THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS
(Psalm 107:9).

Capture that the Lord Jesus will satisfy your thirst and fill you with good things—things that your friends and family cannot do for you or give you.

AND YE WILL NOT COME TO ME, THAT YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE
(John 5:40).

Grasp that when you submit your dead soul to the Lord Jesus, He will give you Life—something your spouse cannot grant you.

 I AM COME A LIGHT INTO THE WORLD, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON ME SHOULD NOT ABIDE IN DARKNESS
(John 12:46).

Know that when you expose your darkness to the Lord Jesus, He will fill you with His Light—something your children or parents cannot do for you.

CHRIST JESUS, WHO HAS BECOME FOR US WISDOM FROM GOD—THAT IS, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS AND REDEMPTION
(1 Corinthians 1:30).

Believe that when you turn your bitterness, rage, and resentment over to the Lord Jesus, He will cover you with the Wisdom from God—Righteousness, Holiness, and Redemption—qualities no human is capable of producing, not even your mom or dad.

To whom do you turn when you are heavy laden and need a drink of Living Water? What do you do with the darkness in your soul? What do you do about the jealousy, hatred, and bitterness in your heart?

The Lord Jesus, your Redeemer, is waiting for you to give you a drink of His Living Water. What is keeping you from turning to Him? Why do you keep looking for answers in all the wrong places, from all the wrong people?

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I praise You for being my Light in the darkness, my Power in my weakness, my Redeemer for my iniquities, and my Rest in times of turmoil. I come to Your to receive all You have for me.
