Ever feel worthless? Or don’t feel loved by the people around you? Abandoned? Forgotten? Like you’re a slave to the world? In bondage? Like there's just no one who understands? No one who cares?…
Well I’m here to tell you that each and every one of those feelings is a lie from the enemy. The enemy lives to make you feel like garbage. He likes to tug at those weak spots in your life and turn them into a raging tornado of emotions. He likes to twist truths. He puts things on the flip side. He’s constantly waiting for that right moment to tare you down to the ground. All the lies and discomfort he brings starts to weigh us down. All the chains holding us in bondage. All the lies piling upon our shoulders make it hard to walk towards Jesus. They slow us down. Sometimes they cause us to stop and stay where we are. And we get so weak and deep into these lies and sin. We just sit there and dwell on the things he’s whispering into our ears. And each whisper makes the chains tighter. Heavier. You ladies know the feeling? What are some lies?--- I’m not pretty enough.. I don’t have that body she has on that magazine.. That guy will never like me.. He doesn’t care.. You’ll never find “Mr. Right”.. Those group of friends over there are talking about you.. You are worthless.. You mean nothing.. You don’t belong..
I know every time the enemy whispers one of those things in my ear its like baggage. Its heavy and it hurts. So what happens when we dwell on these things? What do you do?.. - Oh its just one meal I’m going to skip. No big deal. Its okay as long as I’m still eating two meals. But they have to be small. Or okay what if I dress this way. He’ll notice me then. Or what if I say or do this. Then he might care. Or what if I start talking about this girl behind her back. Maybe then that group will accept me. If I do these things I will have meaning. - Now we find ourselves in this mess. Of confusion. And stuck in the unhealthy lifestyle of trying to make everyone happy. But you know the one person your are destroying in the process? You are destroying yourself. We think all these things are going to resolve all the lies Satan is filling our mind with. Ladies, I’m here to tell you. There is a way out of this bondage. Some one who went to the cross. To Set you Free…
To take the weight of sin off of you. He bore it for you on the Cross. His name is Jesus. And He thought of You when He took His last breath hanging on the cross. When the crown of thorns was placed upon His head. Each nail. The further it went into His hand. He said I love you… He chose YOU.
He chose YOU into His Kingdom.
Ephesians says that He chose us into His kingdom. Before the foundations of the earth. He adopted us through His son Jesus Christ. In Him we have redemption. A new life. Full of truth. Forgiveness. Compassion. LOVE. And freedom. His grace is constantly abounding and reigning in our hearts. His will is great and perfect. We have obtained an inheritance, and purpose of His good works all ordained by HIS Will. We should so then trust in His word and marvelous works. His mercy. And Kindness. His presence is always in your midst. Whenever and wherever you are. He’s there. In trial. Heartache. Times of grief. Pain. Chaos. Confusion. The lies. He is there lifting one burden at a time. Healing each wound. And he meets you in this place. In the quietness of your heart. He meets you there. Ready for you to be made full of His presence and love. But even when we know that God is sovereign, we need to be honest about our struggles with His plan for us. We need to take time to think through these things and ask the Lord to help you entrust everything to HIM.
So beloved, where are you today? Are you believing lies? Are you in bondage to these lies? Sitting in the middle of the world. Heavy with burdens. Trying to find a way out? Jesus is waiting. Stretching is hand of LOVE and healing out for you to grab hold of. He wants to set you free.. From each lie. Each burden. Every sin. He wants to carry you and help you through this. Are you going to let Him? Beloved. You are a princess. A daughter of a KING. And YOU are LOVED by Him.. You are Beautiful. Precious. Gentle. Loved. Accepted. Worth the world. You are cared for. By Him. He looks at you with love. Sees your beauty. He sees the radiance in your eyes. The joy when you smile. He sees all the little things about you. And one day He will bring that Man. That will look at you the way He does. So sister be patient and wait for Him. Dwell in the presence of the Lord. In His goodness and peace.
You are perfect. Just the way your are. He hand crafted you. Made you for a special purpose. So Trust in Him. You are Loved by a KING.
Ephesians 1:4-14 - 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
Deuteronomy 20:4 - 4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’
Jeremiah 31:3 - 3 The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying:
“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
Psalm 139:13-14 - 13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
Zephaniah 3:5 - 5 The Lord is righteous in her midst,
He will do no unrighteousness.
Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He never fails
Matthew 10:30-31 - 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
John 8:31-36 - 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” 34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Do you want to be Set free from bondage and sin, but aren’t quite exactly sure how? Well all it takes is giving it to Christ. Letting Him take control. Of your struggles. Your life. Letting Him into your heart. If You could relate to the post above and want to make a change. And have a personal relationship with Jesus. All you have to do is pray the prayer below. This prayer is between you and the King.
Dear God.
I know I am a sinner and I have sinned against You. I need You to take control of my life. I need Your healing hand to touch my heart. I believe that Jesus, Your Son. Died for me. To set me free. And that He rose again on the third day. I want to follow You. All the days of my life. I want to be set free from all the bondage of my sin and lies. I know I can’t do this on my own. I need Your hand to guide me. Lord I love you.
Its in Jesus name I pray.
Amen.
