Have a desire to be free, truly free? Are you in a place where you feel “stuck,” not sure of why you’re not moving forward? Do you feel as if you need a release? Yearning for something different to happen in your life, for your good, but you feel it’s not coming? Are you really seeking God, in efforts for Him to unravel, uncover, expose you to you? Maybe He’s just not moving the situation, not causing the “change” that you so desperately need to happen? But Why?

This is an interesting position, that is, to be in a place where you’re wanting to be “free” but you’re not sure what you’d need to do to get there? What does the term, “surrender” mean to you? Are you really ready to receive The Strength of God to cause the change that you’re needing to take place?

There’s a distinctive difference between wanting something, “in theory” but not “in action,” that is, with no intent to change but you like the idea; you’re just not willing to be obedient to God so you’re lying to yourself, which is keeping you “bound.” Most Christians find this subject to be the hardest one to actually “live.” We talk about how God can change situations, open doors, close doors, but are we willing to allow God to “open” and “close?”

Are we comfortable with The God who knows everything about us to reveal to us everything about us, to us? Philosophical.

The human condition isn’t just a “human” thing. It’s Spiritual. There’s a Spirit Realm. Since God is a Spirit, The Holy Spirit, why wouldn’t you think that therein lies a Spirit World where there are all sorts of different spirits, aside from “The Holy One?” The war that you’re in, isn’t manmade. The war is of spiritual warfare! There’s only one way to combat spiritual warfare against evil spirits, that is to fight using Spiritual, GOD-sight.

I’m introducing this term, “GOD-sight” to disseminate “The Truth”, to edify you by elevating your mind. Ephesians 6 references “putting on The Whole Armor of God” but do we really understand that it requires a “taking off” and a measure of “total exposure, total nakedness” before Him?

Haven’t read the verse, “God is a Spirit and those that worship Him must do so in Spirit and Truth? – John 4:24.” This is a Kingdom Principle, an attribute of being reborn, by His Spirit, to the Father through the admission of sin then forgiveness of sin, by confession of your faith, to -and- in God. Rarely is there a conversation had, a sermon, a bible study lesson that deals with how we learn how to operate in the Spirit world. We’re Spirits having a human experience. Therefore, we must approach LIFE from the aspects of what it means to have The Holy Spirit inside of us.

Having The Holy Spirit gives us spiritual discernment that is manifested into the Earth Realm. Staying close to God, through prayer, fasting, worshipping, praising, interceding, abstaining from our desires and taking on His desires for us, and by reading His Word – the toolkit, allows us to be open for God to provide spiritual discernment. If we have a hard time releasing our own will, our own direction, if we only take advice from ourselves and other humans, how do we expect to “change” from what’s breaking us, not building us?

It’s an internal transformation that must take place for the external man to be complete, whole, by God’s definition.

If you’re really ready to receive “TRUE FREEDOM,” you must be willing to seek God, desperately (diligently) and earnestly (seriously through mental intent). Seeking God requires your action. You cannot reside in insanity and expect sanity to break through without “you breaking through” it/that with God’s Mighty Power! You possess God’s Power. You must enter into His Power, it’s internal before it’s ever external. It’s Spiritual Empowerment by way of The Holy Spirit’s ability to shift us, to change us, to reveal to heal us, inside so that it shows up on the outside.

How do we access this power, GOD-Power? Go beyond the veil. Uncover yourself before God. Take it all off! Be honest, admit and accept that this is “the part(s) of you that need His help, otherwise you cannot conquer it.” Talk to God about whatever it is and then wait for His “sound” advice. Stay in His Presence and wait. His answers are there but we ignore what we don’t want and don’t like. 

God’s Will requires us to forego our own thoughts, the thoughts of others. Being naked before God requires total submission.

Having one area of your life, changed, doesn’t account for complete wholeness. We need the Whole-Body Experience – FREE mind, body and soul!

The Fullness of God cannot be manifested in a place where there’s no expectation!

Expectation is through actions of faith and that faith requires movement, a getting-up, a stepping-forth, a breaking-through, a pushing-out through the old you and grabbing for Him, reaching into His Spirit that lives inside of you.

• When you stay before God, you learn the “TRUE TRUTH” that He has to dismantle generational imprints of curses and remove the blindness of what we’ve been taught, only to be re-taught, reconditioned to understand what service means towards Him (The Spirit Man) versus service towards the enemy and our flesh (Earthly Man).

• It’s an “unraveling to reveal” that must take place. It has to start at the Spirit level which will illuminate our heart’s condition (issues of our hearts). It’s all exposed to The Most High, The Holy Spirit, to be transformed, for our good. There’s a shaking-up of what you thought and it’s the yielding to God that causes the “changes” that you want to see happen in your life, NOW!

You cannot get there without your action! You must activate God’s Divine presence in your life through an intimate connection (constant communication, constant listening) to Him. If He says, “no,” “not now,” “I’m preparing you for something better than what you’ve asked me for.” What if God’s saying, “are you giving me any time” or “are you only accessing me after you’ve tried every other option?”

God’s saying, “don’t come to me for a manifestation of earthly blessings without coming to me for the Spiritual blessings, first.” God doesn’t bless backwards: It’s through The Spirit then The Man NOT The Man then The Spirit.

God is always present even when we’re not present. He wants us to remain “in His Spirit” to handle this life that we’ve been so graciously given. Our purpose is to “bow down and worship Him,” to worship Him by how we live. True humility is required to have GOD-sight. Being a Christian isn’t easy and if we’re honest, the manual that we use, The Holy Bible, is often misinterpreted and misunderstood.

Contrary to popular belief, God’s voice, through “Rhema,” is His Spoken WORD that you must connect with Him to hear. There’s so much that God’s said to me that references His Word but is given to me in a way that I would understand it, even if I didn’t quite understand a Biblical reference, a Scripture. Philosophical.

I’d like to submit to you to listen for God’s Voice. Listen to His Sound. Allow His Sound to penetrate your very being so that when you hear God, you hear a resounding Sound of Victory over defeat! Listen to His Voice through all of the other noises; His VOICE cancels the outside noise, once you’re really connected, in-tune with Him!

You cannot connect with God without being willing to be naked before Him, opening up and admitting your issues, for Him to come in and tear down the bonds of brokenness, chains of emotional despair – the captivity of insanity and instability, in order to rebuild and reveal to you all of your fears, failures, frequent mistakes, lusts, loves, goods and wrongs. Let Him speak to your Spirit Man. We as Christ-Believers have been given The Holy Spirit.  Are you truly accessing The Holy Spirit?  

I submit to you today: Go before God, in prayer, and tell Him everything that you haven’t even exposed to any human before. Submit to God all of your issues, self-doubt, depression, anxiety, fearfulness, doubt, strongholds (dangerous sins you know that you’re committing that are doing yourself a disservice, tearing you down, weighing your heart and mind) so that He can replace, restore and repair all that’s needed to be replaced, restored and repaired.

There’s a constant frame of mind and heart posture that must be adopted in order for the “changes” that you need to be actualized, manifested – made known, revealed.

There is a Divine Process: by continuously coming before God with “all of you.” Your heart and mind MUST AGREE that you need God to remove the scales of deception and destruction to breathe into your inner soul, life and truly “life lived in His abundance.” – Pr. E. Nelson

Today’s Scripture:

Hebrews 4:12-16

YLT | Young’s Literal Translation

12 for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

13 and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes — with whom is our reckoning.

14 Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens — Jesus the Son of God — may we hold fast the profession,

15 for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but [one] tempted in all things in like manner — apart from sin;

16 we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace — for seasonable help.

MSG | THE MESSAGE

12-13 God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one can resist God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what.

14-16 Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.

NLT | New Living Translation

13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.
