This morning, I listened to Part One of a message on “Brokenness,” by Dr. Charles F. Stanley. What he quoted towards the end of the sermon astounded me:

“All revival follows brokenness. It does not precede it. It follows it.”

I was convicted of many things after listening to this message. Even though I had been going through many hardships these past couple of months (friendships, family, finances, etc.), I knew that God was breaking me to a point where I had to absolutely surrender my direction to be His direction for my life, especially since He has called me to greater plans than the plans that I had in mind for myself. “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” ~Proverbs 16:3~

Myself was selfish. Myself was full of self. Myself was foolish. Myself was ignorant of God and arrogant of wanting to accept His perfect will and plan for my life. This included His ministry for me. “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” ~Proverbs 16:18~

And so it was at that moment that I learned that I had to lean on my Abba Father and no one else EXCEPT HIM in order for me to understand why He was allowing me to go through the hardships that He was allowing me to go through. God was refining me into the woman of His calling. ~”…but the Lord tests the heart.” ~Proverbs 17:3~

The Holy Spirit convicted me to journal a list of things that I had been holding to that were hindering me from living in full submission to God’s perfect will for my life. Here it is:

After spending time with Lord in prayer, I realized that I had to give up all of these worldly things since they were stumbling blocks for me to TRUST in God’s perfect will for my life. These things are temporary and cannot satisfy what is eternal and heavenly, which are unseen. ~”For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal weight of glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”~ 2 Corinthians 4:17-18~

I took a pail of rocks and held 12 of them, one by one, and prayed to God that from this day on, I choose to surrender these worldly things to Almighty God so that I can live in total submission to His will for me. ~”Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”~ John 12:24-25~

I nailed all of these things to the cross of Jesus Christ—-and it was in this moment that I died to self. ~”And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”~ Mark 9:1~

Praise the Lord for this revival of my spirit! I can now live in the victory that I have always had since Jesus Christ died for me and my sins! I am victorious, in Jesus’ name. ~”Yours Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours.”~ 1 Chronicles 29:11~

I have overcome my brokenness because I surrendered all of it to Jesus. My Lord and Savior already overcame it. ~”No, in all these things we are more than conquerors thorough him that loved us.”~ Romans 8:37~

I now want to end this blog post by writing out a prayer for any of you who is reading this it right now and struggling with brokenness and surrender. Let us pray:

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me to courage to testify of how you broke me of this world so that I can come to you in brokenness. Thank you for giving me to strength to let go of these worldly things so that I can fully worship You and submit myself to your absolute will for my life. May You grant any Christian who is struggling with breaking free of himself or herself or any sins that he or she may be holding onto be broken for Your sake so that You may be glorified. May good and not evil come out of being in the state of brokenness so that he or she can let of any present sins in order for him or her to live his or her future free of the sins of the past. Do not let any weapon of the past prosper over Your son or daughter. I speak renewal over his or her mind right now, in Jesus’ name, so that he or she can fully trust you. May your sons and daughters fully surrender to your perfect will for their lives. May they see the good that comes out of being broken and be free now.

In Jesus’ name,

AMEN.     

“Sarah—Draw close to me.”~God.
“Why?,” I asked Him.

“Just trust me,” He said.

This was God’s message to me as I was taking a walk and listening to Bethel Music on my iPod one brisk evening.

I knew that God was on the move for me and that He was fighting for me….I just did not know how as my faith was so small at the time. ~”Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?”~(Matthew 8:26)~

As I was walking back to my apartment, I pictured the Lord planting a seed inside of my heart. Why was this seed significant? It symbolized the hope that I had in Christ Jesus. “Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil.”~(Hebrews 6:19)~

I shut the door of my apartment and went to my bedroom.  I tried to sleep, but could not, so I decided to spend time with the Lord in prayer. Then, I began to cry silently to God. My crying grew louder as I wept bitterly. I questioned God as to why He was allowing me to go through this rough season as I was facing many financial struggles, no job, ongoing issues with my best friends and family, and the spiritual warfare and opposition from friends and family against me going on my mission trip to serve Him and Japanese women and children in Japan. Tears poured down my face as I wept in my broken state of heart. ~”Jesus wept.”~(John 11:35)~

Despite the many tears I shed, I knew that even if my closest friends and family members thought that this hope that the Lord God had given me was nothing more than wishful and fanatical thinking that it gave me the strength to abide in the hope of Christ. It was then that I remembered my life Bible verse:

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”~(Philippians 4:13)~

At that moment, I was able to crack a smile through the tears and emotional pain that I was experiencing. While God was breaking my heart for what broke His, He was able to turn my sadness and grief into joy unspeakable.  This joy became my strength! 😀 ~”…for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”~(Nehemiah 8:10)~

It was then that I knew what it meant to rejoice in my sufferings. There is hope for us, as followers of Christ, when we choose to surrender His will to be our will. I let His will be my will out of broken surrender and selflessness instead of self. ~”O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.”~(Matthew 26:42).

I went to bed as the Lord lay me down to sleep. It is well with me now. My joy rests in the Lord as I dwell in His presence with this final thought sent from heaven to me:

“My hope is your will for your life.”~God

May the Lord cherish and keep you beloved! Stay blessed! ❤

My spirit broke.

This was how I felt after having a seizure a couple of weeks ago. I was never expecting anything this serious to happen to me. I asked God why He allowed the Enemy to take my mind in this way. God replied to me: “Trust me. I know what I am doing.” ~”Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”~ Psalm 46:10.~

A couple of days after the seizure happened, I evaluated my life. I am graduating soon from Liberty University Online with a seminary degree, am going on an internship to Japan in a couple of weeks, and am trying to figure out God’s grand plan for my life after Japan.  Everything seemed to be going well before the seizure happened. But, was this seizure a part of God’s plan for me? I decided to ask God in prayer, “Why did You allow this seizure to happen to me?”

He said to me, “Trust me.” “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” ~Romans 8:28.~

I am still confused to this day as to why He allowed this seizure to happen to me. I have a mixture of feelings: angry, sad, depressed. But in the midst of all of these emotions, I know that this brokenness that I feel will be used for God to be glorified, even when I cannot physically see nor understand why He allowed the seizure to happen to me. I choose to trust in what I cannot see, even when things don’t make sense to me in the moment. ~”For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.~2 Corinthians 4:17-18.~

Even as I type this blog post, I praise God for how far I have come since this past year (yes, even after my seizure!!):

• I went on a short-term mission trip to Lebanon, which provided divine insight into God’s calling for me to go into ministry.
• I am almost finished with my M.A. degree in Global Studies from Liberty University Online.—-I receive my degree in the mail in August! 😀
• I am learning how to share the love of Christ with my family as I re-establish ties with them.—I am praying for them to surrender their lives to Christ as their personal Savior.
•  I am going to Japan for my 2nd short-term mission trip to share the love of Jesus with the Japanese and show them who He is.

Even after the seizure, I choose to not let it define me and MOVE ON with Jesus holding my hand. ~”Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” ~Matthew 7:14.~

Jesus is carrying me into the next stage of my life and I choose to trust Him as He breaks away all form of bad influences, power, principalities, and weapons that are attempting to stop me from remaining obedient to God’s will and calling for me to go into ministry. I rebuke fear. ~”For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”~2 Timothy 1:7.~

I take every negative thought captive to Jesus as He destroys it and cleanses my mind of oppression. ~”Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”~2 Corinthians 10:5.~

I choose to walk into the future with faith…..Are you??

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”~2 Corinthians 5:7.~

Beloved:

May this prayer encourage you as it has for me. 🙂 :

Jesus,

Help me. It is with a humble heart that You break me as You come to me in this helpless state. I cannot help myself. Only You can help me. You are my Help. You are my Comforter. You comfort me when others cannot comfort me. Your words restore me to life as I go through this rough season of my life.  You are the Order of my steps as I walk the tough patches of today. You promise me hope and a future. I declare over me that no weapon will prevail over my mind or give my soul to the enemy because I belong to You. May the gravity of your love draw me close to you as I step into the power of the Holy Spirit and walk by faith as evidence of the hope that You place in me today. Thank you that I can be open in fellowship with You everyday. You are my Best Friend. Be with me as I go and conquer today. 

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen.

~”And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.”~ John 14:16, 18, 20~

🙂

God, hear my prayer: forgive me.

This was my prayer as I entered the double doors of the International House of Prayer on Sunday, March 19th, 2017. ~”for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.”~Isaiah 56:7~

Thinking about the argument that I had a couple of weeks ago with 2 dearly close friends of mine, I knew that something had to be done in me: a change of heart in my  heart in order for me to stand before the throne of God as forgiven and free, in Jesus’ name, without looking back. ~”But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.”~Matthew 13:16~

After receiving a prophetic word today from God, I knew that He would richly bless me today. ~”The Lord bless you and keep you: the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”~Numbers 6:24-26~

This blessing was preached from an inspiring sermon by Billy Humphrey titled, “The Way of Humility.” The Holy Spirit taught me many things through this sermon today as He gave me the ears to hear His precious Word today. ~”How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.”~Psalm 119:103~

This was when the breakthrough began: God opened my eyes to my own sin and I truly, sincerely, and wholeheartedly repented for the harsh and unkind words I said to my friends. ~”Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again.”~Job 34:32~

I learned that I had to be humble before God before being humble before others, including my friends. This meant me yielding my opinions of how badly I thought my friends treated me to God first and foremost, and then my friends, and then putting my friends first before God and then me. ~”When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us, he has taken it and nailed it to the cross.”~Colossians 2:13-14~

It was in this moment that I knew the inner change was occurring in my heart. God forgave me, lavishing me with His unfailing grace and love. I truly humbled myself to God. ~”But he gives us more grace. This is why scripture says: God opposes the proud but shows grace to the humble.”~James 4:6~
Another breakthrough occurred.  
A minister came up to me after the sermon and asked me “Where are you hurting?”

I replied, “I hurt all over: My head, neck, and back ache from a recent car accident and my heart aches too.”

She told me, “Come with me.”

I followed her into a prayer room. Herself and another lady prayed for me, laying hands on my head, back, and stomach as I worshipped and thanked God  (literally, I fell onto the floor and started praising God) for the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual healing that took place today. ~”Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”~James 4:10~

In that moment, I had a vision: The hand of God brought me before His throne and I was bowing before God Almighty and worshipping Him before His throne. The scriptures came alive in this moment of my life. ~”As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.”~James 2:26~

I opened my eyes and began to praise Jesus, thanking Him for many things, specifically for the inner and outer healing that took place today. ~”The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”~John 1:14~

As I walked out of the double doors of the International House of Prayer, God revealed me the following points:

• I am free. 
• I am forgiven.
• It is finished.

God is good. And I leave this blog post with a blessing for my 2 friends 🙂 :

~Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. ~Acts 13:38-39~

May the Lord bless and keep you today, tomorrow, and forevermore, my dear and beloved one. God bless! ♡♡♡

“Sarah: You are fearless and wonderfully made”~God.

These are the words God shared with me during my personal walk in the Lord MANY times throughout my life. These truths have grown me stronger and more confident in my walk with the Lord as I be still and listen to His voice guide my life.”So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”~Romans 10:17~

At my full time job at Chick-fil-A, I have dealt with many customers of varying personalities. Some have treated me rudely while others have complimented me with kind words. One day, a customer told me: “I like the color of your nails.” Another customer asked me, “I like your hair! Is red your natural color?” These compliments built me up with this wonderful reminder: I am beautiful outside. “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”~Psalm 139:14~

As I was taking a customer’s order one day, one of the employees of Chick-fil-A allowed me to realize this about me: I not only have outer beauty, I have inner beauty too. He told me, “You are glowing! You have Christ radiating in you.”Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”~1 Peter 3:3-4~

One day, one of my managers from Chick-fil-A, who worked closely with me during my first two weeks of training, shared a Bible verse with me that has remained tucked in my heart every time I deal with an angry customer: Joshua 1:9: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage: be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

 My manager reminded me that I must have confidence from the Lord that cannot come from myself because godly confidence comes from God: NOT what human flesh can do alone. “For to be carnally minded minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”~Romans 8:6-8~

One of the reasons why I LOVE Joshua 1:9 is because it reminds me that I am not just another beautiful face: I am a fearless fighter of Jesus Christ, MY God who I serve unashamedly as I boldly live up to my identity in Christ everywhere I do, including Chick-fil-A, and in all that I do to serve God. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth”~Romans 1:16~

Yesterday, a customer looked at me straight into my eyes with her small-sized glasses with grace that could only come from God. She kindly told me after I made her a lemonade, “Thank you, Sarah,” before walking away with her meal in hand. “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you “~1 Thessalonians 5:18~

“Wow, she acknowledged me by thanking me,” I thought to myself before I took the order from the next customer. This customer allowed me to face my fear of rejection by reinforcing the Biblical truth that God sees me as significant because I am important to Him. It all depends upon how I put the fruits of the Holy Spirit on display not only at Chick-fil-A, but EVERYWHERE I go without giving into fear. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”~2 Timothy 1:7~

All of my experiences at Chick-fil-A and Biblical truths reinforce not only all parts of me, but who I am, as God’s fearlessly beautiful creation. Now as I type this last sentence of this blog post, I declare what was forever ordained by God since my first heart beat: “I am fearless and wonderfully made.”

2017 is here and I have a lot to be thankful for in this new year.

God has me blessed beyond reason and I give all of the glory, honor, and praise to Him. “In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.”~Psalm 44:8~

I have a full time job at Chick-fil-A, am on a plan to lose weight, graduate with a Master of Arts degree from Liberty University Online this Summer, go to Japan for my Summer internship, and the potential to travel abroad with OM International after I graduate. In a nutshell, God has many great things coming my way in 2017. “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath ye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.”~Isaiah 64:4~

Before 2016 ended, God showed me that I must breakaway with my past by making peace with ALL of my family and allow Him to thrust me forward into the future He has planned for me. First, I am doing so by slowly restoring ties with my Mom. God bless my Mom, who have birth to me. “Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.”~Ezekiel 19:10~

Then, God revealed me that I must not only restore ties with my Mom, but with my Dad and siblings in order to live peaceably with myself and have peace of God in my heart. I do not know what this is going to look like in the future, but I am letting God direct my steps in how He wants me to restore ties with them in order for healing to begin. “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.”~Psalm 37:23~

Satan has torn my family apart due to various issues, leading to bitterness, hatred, and a great divide among all of us. At the same time, God is allowing me to see them in the way Jesus sees them: loved and to love them well. “We love him, because he first loved us.”~1 John 4:19~

 This is because God is a God of peace and not confusion. I must take every thought captive to God in order to love my family well and make peace with them in how God directs me to do so with them. “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”~2 Corinthians 10:5~

My prayer is that the Holy Spirit teaches me in the same hour what I ought to say to ALL of my family when God ordains me to speak to my dad and siblings in His timing. “For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say”~Luke 12:12~

Laying aside my family issues, I am looking forward to what God has in store for me in 2017. I won’t look back: never. I go forward, in Jesus’ name, free and full of all of the fruit of the Spirit, in Jesus’ name. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”~Galatians 5:22-23~

Pray for 2017 friends. Pray for my family. Pray for peace to all. Love you all and God bless! 🙂

~”And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”~Matthew 21:22~

Christmas.

It can be a time of happiness, being around friends and family, and giving and receiving gifts as carols are sung and everyone decks the halls in merry cheer. 

BUT for others, it can be a time of heartache, struggle, and great sadness over the loss of loved ones.

For me, I have never experienced the loss of a loved one (especially around Christmas time), but can only imagine what it is like from the perspective of friends.

A couple of days ago, I found out that one of my close friend’s family members unexpectedly passed away. Even though I never knew my close friend’s family member, I could not help but mourn over her sudden loss. “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.”~Psalm 56:8-9~

I did not sleep the night I found out about my friend’s family member’s death and brought my feelings about this sudden loss before the Lord the next day. I went to Starbucks, journaled a letter to God, and prayed for guidance to Him in how to handle my feelings and asked Him how He could use me to bring comfort to my friend and her family. He led me to send a card, flowers, and gifts (Starbucks giftcards) to my friend and her family. The reason behind why I carried out this simple act of kindness was this: to bring love, peace, joy, and the hope of Jesus to my friend and her family this Christmas season. “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”~Romans 15:13~

I prayed over the card, flowers, and Starbucks giftcards before I sent them to my friend and her family. My prayer was that these gifts may be received as blessings from God’s heavenly sky to my friend and her family this Christmas season. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning.”~James 1:17~

Even though I have not spoken to my friend since this happened, I pray that the Lord may bless and keep her and her family together this Christmas season. “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”~Numbers 6:24-26~

My prayer is for anyone who is dealing with the loss of a friend, family member, or loved one may be divinely inspired and blessed richly from these writings I write and most importantly bring it before the Lord in order for healing to take place this Christmas season. “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”~Psalm 147:3~

Thank you for reading this blog post. May God bless everyone! 🙂

~”Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.”~Luke 9:50~ 

I am free.
You may be reading this blog post and wondering why I declare this proclamation over my life. The Lord Jesus, the God of my heart, is healing me in ways I have never imagined. This is truly a miracle. 

 Lately, I have been going to the International House of Prayer (IHOP, as I call it) to pray. Yesterday, I went to their healing ministry and asked the ladies, who anointed me with oil and prayed over me, to break me free, in the name of Jesus, from all anxiety, depression, mental illness, and all generational curses stemming from my family. Sure enough, the kingdom of God was brought to me, healing the wounds that  Satan pained and inflicted me for many years. “But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.”~Matthew 12:28~ 

As I drove away from IHOP that night, the Lord Jesus gave me peace. Even though I did not feel peace from Jesus immediately, I felt it throughout the night as I slept and feel it even as I write this blog post. I now notice that how I perceive people has changed for the better because I see my own self as the way God made me to be: His beloved creation and adopted daughter. He heard my cry for an outpour of the Holy Spirit to cleanse and change my life from the inside out. “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear: but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.”~Romans 8:15-16~ 

 I also realized that the Lord Jesus saved my mind from my own understanding. In other words, I denied myself by surrendering all lies and false beliefs about myself to the Lord Jesus at the cross. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”~Proverbs 3:5-6~

I now take up my own cross as I deny myself daily and follow Jesus. “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.”~Matthew 10:38~

I am free because what Satan meant for oppression over my life, Jesus allowed me to overcome. As a result, I am a changed woman of the Lord. “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”~1 Corinthians 15:54-57~ 

I am free indeed because of what the Lord Jesus Christ has done in my life. I rejoice now because of all that He is doing in my life. I now walk forward, without looking back, and free in the name of Jesus. “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”~John 8:36~

Thank you for reading this blog post. I pray the Lord’s blessings over your life, friends, and family, and for the kingdom of God to come to you too and heal you in ways unimaginable just as He did for me. God bless!! 🙂 

God is good.

There are many reasons why I say this, but the main reason why I declare this with confidence, on this day, is because God has healed me of these two feelings: rejection and anger. “He was wounded for our transgressions, the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”~Isaiah 53:5~ 

In the past, I have experienced rejection from both of my parents and because of the rejection I experienced, feelings of anger built up in me. These feelings gave me a sense of entitlement, thinking that I am better and less sinful than my family when the reality is that I am no better than them because of my need for Jesus to heal me of these sinful thoughts. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”~1 John 1:9~ 

I realized, after praying this morning, that I need to surrender my feelings of rejection and anger to Jesus at the cross. I must do so by denying myself. “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”~Luke 9:23~ 

The last point I want to make is that God is constantly doing a mighty work in my life. I am in a constant process of sanctification because God is continuously making me more and more like His Son, Jesus Christ. I am not perfect and have many flaws and it is because of this confession I make that I ask my Lord Jesus to work in me daily. “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation: Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”~1 Peter 1:15-16~ 

I have overcome all feelings of rejection, anger, and unforgiveness because I surrender these feelings to the cross. “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”~Romans 8:37~

My prayer for you is that you are divinely inspired NOT by me, but by the Lord Jesus Christ after reading this blog post, to surrender whatever false beliefs and feelings that you may be feeling to Jesus at the cross. All that you have to do is ask Him to heal you from the inside and out in your heart, mind, body, and soul so that you have the eyes to see and ears to hear God’s voice for discernment for His will for your life. “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”~Matthew 21:22~ 

Let your kingdom come today, O Lord Jesus, in the lives of those who are reading this blog post so that they may be healed just as I am healed, in your precious name. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”~Matthew 6:33~ 

Thank you for reading this blog post. Continue to pray for me and my family. May you be richly blessed today, in Jesus name! 🙂
