Standing Up Again

HelpingUp

 

As the people of God assemble today may the
hope in our Lord’s Name and presence cause
to stand erect those who are bowed under discouragement.

“The Lord upholds all those [of His own] who are
falling and raises up all those who are bowed down.”

Heat And The Future

HeatFurnace
It appeared on more than one occasion that Joseph would not finish his course. Power-people seemed to step in his way around every other corner. Yet, being sold for a slave was one of the steps that assured Joseph would get where he was supposed to be when he was supposed to be there. (Gen.50:20) It wasn’t simply a step in the direction of salvation for Israel, it also worked out some things in Joseph that he couldn’t take with him to the palace. Interpreting dreams in the prison tried and prepared him to interpret dreams in the palace. In the dark hours and the obscure places, he gained godly wisdom that would soon be in demand. We need people who know the future and have an assurance about the future. They are in great demand. They will always have job security. And, biblically speaking, it seems those people step into position with the heat of the trying-furnace still on them.


 

Overcome The Damage

mirrorHandsIf we don’t overcome damage to our identity, worth and track record, we  develop an offense or an attitude or an outlook on life that leaves our mirror cracked, leaves our self-worth fragmented and pulls the rug out from under our self-government.  That, in turn, undermines every opportunity and relationship we have.

Relationships That Build Up

Friends

 

This year may you find and keep the kind of relationships that build you up and don’t tear you down.

“For I am not ashamed, even if I have boasted somewhat too much about the authority that the Lord has given us—authority to build you up, not to tear you down.” (2Cor.10:8, GNB)

God Hasn’t Changed His Mind About You

I know a lady that was raised on the church bench.  She had such a heart for God when she was young, that she Walkingtruly considered marrying a minister.  She is wired primarily eagle, who tends to require perfection in self.  She is also ox, wanting no conflict, and she has a motivational gift of serving as well.  She went right from high school to being a secretary.  As choices flowed in her life, she married young and went through two divorces.  Being a conscientious church girl, she saw herself as disqualified and a failure.  She struggled with thinking that her potential and purpose were lost.  For years, her self-image and self-worth were shaken.  However, even with those two elements shaken, she was one of those exceptional people that had enough strength of character not to allow her self-government to take a dive.  She remained diligent in her career and rose to executive secretary.  After dealing with taunting questions like “Who am I now?   Why am I here now? (since I’ve messed up so badly),” she came to the realization that God had not changed His mind about His original intent for her and her gifts and calling were still intact.  Today, she has overcome and is an awesome intercessor, just as she was originally intended to be.  She realizes now that even her time as a secretary was actually intercessory in nature, building bridges between problems and their resolve.  She outgrew her feelings of unworthiness to even allow the Holy Spirit to stir gifts in her of discernment and prophetic proclamation.

Believing In My Redeemer

We’ve got to believe more in our Redeemer
than we believe in the past.—(Kathy)

Redeeming The Cracks

When our self-image takes a hit and our mirror gets cracked, it is tempting to feel so fragmented that we stop FaceCrackMirrorfunctioning.  If we do, then condemnation seeps into those cracks and tries to kill our relationship with our Father and tries to steal our sense of worth and tries to destroy our self-government.  Condemnation is one of the most lethal weapons the devil uses because it carries a mixture of truth and lie that is particularly toxic.  Condemnation’s first punch is usually true, like “You know you messed up. You’re guilty.”   However, it’s second punch is a poisonous lie like, “There is no way out, no healing for a cracked mirror.  There is no way to redeem value that was lost and no restoration of broken boundaries.”  Those lies should make you want to spit.

Changelessness Dissipates

werol michal mierzejewski - Starstation Earth

 

As the people of God assemble today may all impression and/or delusion of sameness and changelessness dissipate like a mist in the face of the truths and reality of the Word of God—that Word which changes not but changes people and circumstances.
“I want a walk in the country, I want a cabin in the woods.  I’m desperate for a change from rage and stormy weather.” (Ps.55:8, Msg)

They Are Getting Over It

HandsUp

 

People who have said things about you in the past (even though they may have been right) are getting over it this year;  and the damage that they did with what they said you were, you are going to overcome this year and it’s going to turn around for your good.
“And they will say about you, ‘The Lord always does right!  God is our mighty rock.’” (Ps.92:15, CEV)


 

In Bounds Or Out Of Bounds

The third thing the devil did was offer Jesus a way to get what He came after by getting out of bounds on a shortcut. FenceBoundsSatan offered to not oppose Him and give Him the kingdoms of this world (Rev. 11:15). Jesus knew the kingdoms of the world were to be His, but He knew better than to worship Satan to get them. Jesus was a mature son of strong character, and He was so intent upon obedience and self-government, that He couldn’t be tempted by success any other way. Adam and Eve did fall for the temptation to get out of bounds and reach beyond the will of God. Then, evidently, they did not truly repent because they passed on the “thinking of their heart” to the next generation. Cain cracked his own mirror also by reaching outside God’s boundaries with a sacrifice that wasn’t acceptable. Then his self-worth plummeted and his self-government completely toppled when he murdered his brother.
