Don’t mind me here. This is personal. Move on.
“Surely, He is with me. Surely, He is helping me. Surely, His Word comes alive in my life, in ways I am able to see and distinguish as only coming from Him. Surely, His angels minister to me, and to all I’m concerned about. Surely, I am healthy. Surely, I am strong, and on my way to being aesthetically strong. Surely, all my regrets and mistakes are seen by my Father – and He is, right now, working all of it for my good. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. We shall only see the punishment of the wicked.”
Surely, He is with me, never leaving me nor forsaking me. Surely, nothing can ever separate me from the love of God, our Father – because of Christ and His finished work. Surely, He is for me, and He is not against me.
Right now I think I’m doing okay… And it still stands that His perfect love casts out all fear; Much so that wherever I am – whether here in this world or absent in this body – I am with Christ, and Christ is with me.
But right now, it’s my concern for others close to me that are actually giving me more reason to fear. And I’m far away from them. If I’m not far away from them, they don’t want to be found. They don’t want anything to do with me. I’m not about to go ahead and get into detail, but I will just say that even now, with all of these things in mind, all of these people – it’s actually giving me more cause to exercise the authority that Christ paid for.
By the finished work of Christ – His birth, death, resurrection, and ascension, the old has passed away, and all things in my being have been made new.
Christ became sin in order for me to become His righteousness, and because of this, I have been reconciled to God, much so that I am able to call Him my Father.
Christ confirmed our reconciliation by way of His resurrection, and because He ascended to Heaven, the Holy Spirit was poured down upon each and every one of us.
Because of what Christ has done, we have the Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our salvation. We have a Spirit of Comfort, and a Spirit of Adoption, by whom, again, we are able to call the Creator of all things our Father.
Because of what Christ has done, we have been made co-heirs with Christ; To the point, we have been made a royal priesthood: offering sacrifices of praises to the Father, while exercising the authority of the King of Kings in this reality, by way of His Word.
With that being said, I speak from a position of power, from a stance of peace beyond all understanding, declaring that this same Spirit whom I possess, and who has been poured upon each and every one of us in the body of Christ – this same Spirit is at work with the rest of the world, and with one lady in particular; One who rejected me, one I love and still love now, even if loving her means accepting her rejection and living my own life to the utmost; I believe that the Holy Spirit is convicting her of sin – not accusing her, but with the intention of bringing forth godly sorrow – the end of herself (my God, do I love her), that in the absolute lowest, she would distinguish and appreciate the absolute goodness and endless grace of God;
I believe that even right now, the Holy Spirit continues to convict her and the rest of the world of the righteousness and reconciliation that can be had simply by believing in the death and resurrection of Christ, demonstrations of His being willing and able to save us to the uttermost. I believe and declare that faith arises by hearing the word of Christ; I declare a miraculous change of mind which shall bring forth transformation upon her.
I believe, that even right now, the Holy Spirit not only convicts her (and the rest of the world) of sin and righteousness, but also of judgment; I believe that we are bold and confident of the truth that the enemy of our souls – the one singular source of all our fear, misery, darkness, chaos, and death – shall be rendered absolutely powerless and totally defeated, bound and thrown into the lake of fire forever.
My God, it’s not in my choice of words, but the sheer power of the Holy Spirit that I declare that Michelle is saved, here and now, in the peerless name of the Lord Jesus Christ – from the powers of sin and darkness, from the thoughts and lies of the enemy. Death and disease, suicide and sickness bow down before the name above every other name, Jesus Christ.
It’s not by my might, but by the Holy Spirit that we are able to proclaim that our brothers and sisters around the world, particularly in places of conflict (the ones the media tells us about, and the ones we have no clue of) – Marijoe, Jonas, Andrew, Teng, Garros, their families, and everyone else in the body of Christ – they are all protected because they abide in the shadow of the Most High. They dwell in the secret place of the Almighty.
It’s not by my might, but by the Holy Spirit that my Mom is healed. By the stripes of Christ, my Mom is fully restored in all aspects of her being – that everyone in the body of Christ is being ministered to right now by our Father, by His angels.
We continue to thrive in harmony – for the unity of the Body, for the expansion of the Kingdom, to the utmost glory of His Name. Amen.
