Last night, a feeling of unrest overtook me. I recognized it as what happens right before God reveals something to me...ort of a heads-up for what I'm about to receive. I tossed and turned. I got up and then laid back down. I tried to turn on my scriptures I listen to but that didn't work. I tried soothing music, that didn't work either. I was irritated with all of it! This morning, I opened my bible and it was a scripture I'd read just yesterday. Uh oh, I thought, I must have missed something. I hadn't..it was step two of the whole perspective lesson God had been giving me.
THe message as to throw away all the labels and dividers that the enemy places on and around us that bind us away from being a Kingdom of children of God. So I went at the lesson headfirst and instantly felt the relief I get once I receive clarity about a situation. Praise God!
I made a list of every negative label someone else had ever spoken over me and my life. (For example: Whore, stupid, bitch, worthless, unloveable, and weak.)
Then on my live feed, I read it and ripped it to shreds. I suggest everyone do this because it was therapeutically satisfying. I realized that I am not a sum of all the trauma I've lived through and I am not a label carrier. I am a child of God, magnificently made and unique. That is what I stand on now in that light of God.
The light shined in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not - John 1:5
The darkness will not comprehend me because I am not of the darkness, and I will not be labeled as any part of it. Instead I am set free, born again and pure, sanctified, and a saint. I am the virtuous woman God says I am. And I do not need to or require of myself any longer to convince anyone of that truth. Just as it is truth and fact that the sun is going to rise tomorrow, I now live in the truth of who I truly am and who I am meant to be as determined by God and God only. THAT is what I speak over my own life out of love for myself, and because I trust what God says over any other.
