God Cares about Your Heart

AND HE WHO SEARCHES OUR HEARTS KNOWS THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT INTERCEDES FOR THE SAINTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD’S WILL
(Romans 8:27).

The Perfect Father cares about your heart.  He cares about the abandonment that lives there, the betrayal that hurts so much, and the rejection that was so unfair.  He knows about the scar of shame—that painful emotion caused by guilt and the feeling that you are fatally flawed.  He cares about the anxiety that lives in your heart—that fearful concern about the future.  Believe that your Father cares so much about your heart that He sent His Light, Jesus Christ, to shine in your heart when the darkness—the guilt, the confusion, the bitterness, the jealousy, and the sadness—threatens to take over

FOR GOD, WHO SAID, ‘LET LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,’ MADE HIS LIGHT SHINE IN OUR HEARTS TO GIVE US THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF CHRIST
(2 Corinthians 4:6).

The Perfect Father knows about your struggle against the father-of-lies…and He did something about it. He sent His Son, Jesus, to overcome the father-of-lies and his lies.  Furthermore, He provided you a Helper, the Holy Spirit, to intercede for your heart, daily—to intervene between your heart and the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies…if you invite Him into these beliefs.

I HAVE TOLD YOU THESE THINGS, SO THAT IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. IN THIS WORLD, YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE. BUT TAKE HEART! I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD
(John 16:33).

When you pray, allow the Holy Spirit to pray through you, according to God’s Will. If you let Him, He will search your heart and pray to the Father through you, according to what you need. He will address the abandonment, the rejection, the shame, and the condemnation that live in your heart. If you allow Him, He will intercede for you, so Christ’s Light might enter your heart and drive out the dark beliefs of the father-of-lies.

PRAYER: Lord God, I invite You into the troubled spots in my heart.  Teach me how to trust in You: to rely on Your Truth…to lean on Your Love…to abide in Your Hope. Shine Your Light on the darkness in my heart, so it would flee in the Light of Your Glory.

So Have I Loved You

One of the lies the father-of-lies likes to throw at me is: “God does not love you.”  Sometimes he would make the lie even more real by adding: “God does not love you because you are not worthy to be loved.”  I get these “God does-not-love-you” lies quite often in my life.  They usually come when I need God the most.

HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, NOT HOLDING TO THE TRUTH, FOR THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. WHEN HE LIES, HE SPEAKS HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE, FOR HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF LIES.  YET BECAUSE I TELL THE TRUTH, YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME!
(John 8:44-45).

Sometimes the father-of-lies tells me that the Lord Jesus DOES love me, but only under certain conditions: when I am good, acceptable, or worthy.  Other times, the murderer tells me that as soon as my pain shows, God will stop loving me. Be aware of the murderer’s lies.  There is no truth in him.  Listen to what the Lord Jesus tells you…and BELIEVE. Allow Him to have the last say in your life—Words you will receive and believe.

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).

Believe that your pain will not separate you from God’s Love for you, neither will your fear, your anger, your guilt, your sadness, jealousy, confusion, bitterness, or hopelessness, neither will your past mistakes, neither will your unworthiness, shame, rejection, condemnation, or abandonment, neither will the belief “God does not love me.”

What has the father-of-lies told YOU?

Believe that the Perfect Father wants to lavish you with His Father Love.  It is when you feel abandoned that God wants to tell you that He loves you.  It is when you feel ashamed and deformed that the Perfect Father wants to tell you that He accepts you.  It is when you feel rejected and very alone that the Lord Jesus wants to tell you that you are worthy to Him. Will you invite His Presence into your pain?

PRAYER: Thank you, Perfect Father, that nothing separates me from Your Love for me, not even my pain, my past mistakes, or any words the father-of-lies might hurl at me. How great is the Love You lavish on me…that I might be called Your child.

Know the Truth

NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE SUBTLE AND CRAFTY THAN ANY LIVING CREATURE OF THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD MADE
 (Genesis 3:1).

I have come to experience that the enemy, the father-of-lies, is indeed very crafty.  Many different things happened to me throughout my life, but what shaped my mind the most was not what people said and did to me, but what I came to believe about myself in response to what the CRAFTY ONE said to me.

STAND FIRM THEN, WITH THE BELT OF TRUTH BUCKLED AROUND YOUR WAIST
 (Ephesians 6:14).

I have learned that the Truth of Jesus is one of the most valuable assets in our lives.  I have noticed that the truth that people give us is not nearly as powerful as the Truth that Jesus discloses.  People can guess what you need to hear and believe about yourself; however, it is only the Lord Jesus who knows exactly what you need to hear and believe about yourself, because He knows what the CRAFTY ONE told you.

Buckle the Belt of Truth around your waist.  Know that as you clasp on the Truth, you are not putting on a thing, but a Person—the Person of Jesus Christ.  Understand that when people tell you the truth, the lie in your mind might continue to exist, but when Jesus tells you the Truth, you will be released from what you came to believe about yourself: that you are an alien…that you are deformed…that you are an outcast. The Truth that Jesus Christ speaks to you will set you free, because He IS the Truth.

JESUS ANSWERED, ‘I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE’
(John 14:6).

Think about it. What shaped YOUR life the most: what people did or said to you, or what you came to believe about yourself and those around you? What are you going to do about this?

Stop running to people for advice when you feel abandoned, shamed, rejected, and condemned. What they can give you is advice…only. Bring your beliefs of shame, condemnation, abandonment, and rejection to the Lord Jesus, instead. Tell Him how you feel. Tell Him what you believe about yourself. Ask Him to meet you at the place where this belief was planted in your mind and heart, for the first time. Receive the Truth.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, how I value Your Truth! I praise You for being the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Thank you for making Yourself available to me, so I may be set free from what the CRAFTY ONE told me about myself.

You Have an Obligation

YOU, HOWEVER, ARE CONTROLLED NOT BY THE SINFUL NATURE BUT BY THE SPIRIT, IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES IN YOU. AND IF ANYONE DOES NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE DOES NOT BELONG TO CHRIST.  BUT IF CHRIST IS IN YOU, YOUR BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN, YET YOUR SPIRIT IS ALIVE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.  AND IF THE SPIRIT OF HIM WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD IS LIVING IN YOU, HE WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, WHO LIVES IN YOU
(Romans 8:9-11).

Believe that if you have accepted the Lord Jesus as your Savior, the Spirit of God lives in you, and your spirit has been made alive by God’s Spirit.  God’s Spirit has imbued your spirit with His Righteousness.

THEREFORE, BROTHERS, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION—BUT IT IS NOT TO THE SINFUL NATURE, TO LIVE ACCORDING TO IT
(Romans 8:12).

However, although your spirit is made alive by God’s Spirit, your mind and the rest of your body is dead because of sin still living in it.  God controls your spirit, but it is up to you whether you will let Him control your mind, your emotions, and your actions and reactions through His Spirit, as well.

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 8:13-14).

Know that you have a daily choice: to either submit your mind, emotions, and actions to God’s Spirit who lives in your spirit, or to submit your mind, emotions, and actions to the OLD MAN victim nature.

What will it take for you to allow the Spirit of God to take control of your whole spirit, soul, and body and therefore be led by His Spirit, in your mind, your emotions, and your actions and reactions?

PRAYER: Lord God, I authorize Your Spirit to lead the thoughts in my mind, to lead my emotions, and to lead my actions and reaction, because those who are led by Your Spirit are sons of God.  Be my Righteousness.  Be my Holiness.  Be my Wisdom. Bring my whole spirit, soul, and body in line with Your Spirit.

What Did Jesus Do for You?

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE
(John 3:16).

What have you done that is breaking your heart?  What have you done that causes you to feel so tainted, ashamed, and guilty?  What have you done that causes you to feel such a failure and a loser?  What have you done to make you feel so condemned and blamed?

Understand that it is not what you did that matters.  The only thing that matters is what the Lord Jesus Christ did for you. He came to save you from yourself.

FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT TO SAVE THE WORLD THROUGH HIM
(John 3:17).

What have others done to break your spirit?  What have others done to pour pain and contempt on your life?  What have others done to bring abandonment and rejection into your heart? Believe that it is not what OTHERS did that matters.  The only thing that matters is what Jesus Christ did for you. He came to save what is lost.

Realize that you matter so much to the Perfect Father, that He sent His Son, Jesus, to save you from the effects of anything you might have done, and to save you from the effects of anything others might have done to you. Be encouraged that the saving Power of the Lord Jesus is bigger than your own sins and mistakes, and far greater than others’ sins and mistakes done to you.

FOR THE SON OF MAN CAME TO SEEK AND TO SAVE WHAT WAS LOST
(Luke 19:10).

What have you done that is causing you to feel so evil, doomed, and incriminated?  What have others done that is causing you to feel so forsaken, unprotected, and pushed aside?  What have others done that is causing you to feel so fatally flawed, dirty, and lesser?

Stop hiding.  Stop running away.  Stop blaming those who have hurt you. Instead, invite the saving Power of the Lord Jesus Christ into these painful spots of your heart…because the Lord Jesus wants to save you.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I invite Your Presence and Participation into these spots in my heart that deem me fatally flawed, doomed, and pushed aside.  Please save me from what I have done, Lord God, and from what others have done to me, so I would not perish, but have eternal Life.

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.

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.

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.

The Bible calls it the OLD MAN. It makes us feel like a powerless CHILD. It is the reason we believe we are abandoned, bad, rejected, and shamed. It is the reason we feel mad, bad, and sad. It is the reason neither life, nor death, makes sense.

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.

Experience the Love of Jesus

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).

I live in the mountains and I love to take a walk each day on one particular dirt road that forms a complete circle.  During my walk, I always talk to God about everything and everyone in my life.  Sometimes I have specific questions for Him.  Sometimes I feel hopeless, lonely, or angry.  Sometimes I talk to God about a perturbing perception.  Sometimes I walk around the whole circle crying.  Sometimes I laugh and rejoice.  Whatever happens in my life, I share it all with God on my walks around the circle.

Do you know what?  I have noticed that the Lord Jesus has been walking with me around this circle of dirt road and giving me His Understanding, so I might know Him who is true.  There is this one particular spot in the circle where Jesus addressed my condemnation—where He clothed me with His Righteousness.  Then, there is the other spot where He addressed my shame—where he promised me that He + I = ENOUGH.  Then, there is the spot where He just embraced me with His Presence when I was going through the valley of the shadow of death.  On another spot, He addressed my rejection and crowned me with His Acceptance and Honor.  The whole circle is marked with spots where the Lord Jesus met with me.

I have EXPERIENCED the Love of Jesus on my walks, although it is too great to understand fully.  With each EXPERIENCE of His Presence, I have come to know Him better. Thus, He has been making me complete with all the fullness of Life and Power that comes from God.

WE KNOW ALSO THAT THE SON OF GOD HAS COME AND HAS GIVEN US UNDERSTANDING, SO THAT WE MAY KNOW HIM WHO IS TRUE
(1 John 5:20).

Have you experienced the Love of the Lord Jesus in your life, even though it is too great to fully understand?

If not, I encourage you to choose a special spot, somewhere, to communicate with Him, daily, about everything and everyone in your life.  Start where you are with your feelings of disappointment, loneliness, and despair.  Soon, by getting to know Him who is true, you will experience the Love of Christ in your heart, and you will be made complete.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I desire to walk with You through this life to experience Your Love when I feel forsaken, rejected, and condemned. I yearn for Your Embrace when I go through the valley of the shadow of death, so I may know You. I long to be made complete with all the Fullness of Life and Power that comes from God.
