I think we've all heard "it'll get better with time".. How many of us know that "it" does not get "better" with time. WHY? That's what we talked about today. It doesn't get better because that wound happened.. it's there and there's probably a scar to remind you. and remind you and remind you. So how do we get rid of this scar..
...Long pause...
We don't. INSTEAD we fight the devil's attempt to remind us of our shortcomings (we're all sinners SAVED by GRACE)- AND WE FIGHT the devil BY USING OUR SCARS TO GLORIFY JESUS!!!!!!!!! We stay in His word! We claim His holy and righteous Name! Jesus THANK YOU for choosing me. God YOU are my REDEEMER and PROVIDER and NO ONE can take that from me. We are going to face tragedies. trials. upsets. heartbreaks. WHY.
Imagine your worst day- think about how you got out of that worst day because you did get out. It was a process but you succeeded.... because Jesus succeeded.
Now imagine someone just like you- same situation except they do not serve the Lord. Imagine how they get out of their "worst day". What if they don't?
The Lord our God has not sent us here to just have life and just live.. We have to experience all that life has to offer so that we can have relationships with people who do not know the Lord and need to know HOW you got out of your worst day. How did you see the light? What carried you thru that time? How did you bear it?
AND we must respond. God has equipped us all with experiences BUT He also left us with a Book of experiences. We have to equip ourselves so that we can equip others in battle with TRUTH and LIFE!
1 Corinthians 1: 30 "Because of what God has done, you belong to Christ Jesus. He has become God's wisdom for us. He makes us right with God. He makes us holy and sets us free."
please be in the word and fight everyday. the devil wants to bring up your past and tell you lies. do not believe those words. You are Chosen and you must fight with the Word. Pray His Word. Claim it. Believe that Jesus gave you a past so that you can help someone else get past theirs.
