MAKE USE OF THE BODY OF CHRIST TO SUPPORT AND HELP YOU

December 30

hild of God, do you have "hang ups" that don't seem to be natural or even "normal" for other people? Do you have "phobias" (fears) of unusual things or germs or even being in a crowd? Do you dread physical situations (normal ones) with the God-given mate for your life? Do you have moods that are darkening and depressive fed by negative thoughts? Wow! This is messy if you answer "yes" for one or more of these questions! Obviously, you need personal attention from someone who walks with God in strong prayer and joy! Ask the Father in Heaven to put you on the track of someone like that. Then, determine in your mind and heart that you will not live one more day under these bondages! Remember child, one strong reason that you have settled into a life of complacency over these areas is because you have lived with these "defects" for so long that you have adjusted to your misery, and you have desensitized yourself from their crippling effects. You have been lulled into a sleep-like state, simply accepting in the subconscious mind the idea that you are stuck with these conditions as though they were normal for you! Baloney! That's right you heard your Father correctly, baloney! Get rid of your timidity “(God hath not given you the spirit of "timidity" or fear, but of power, love and a sound mind!).” (II Timothy 1:7) Get up from there and determine that you will not allow the Evil One to shut down your fruit unto the Father. Make up your mind to do whatever you have to throw out your pride and excuses for wallowing in self-pity and your little hurt feelings and self-destruction (in your marriage and relationships) and get some help for yourself! Don't make excuses! Don't say, "I can't find anyone who can pray for me like that!" Ask your Father. Don't you think that He has provision for you to get the deliverance that you need? He will send you a deliverer through the Holy Spirit to get you set free! Don't delay!

Prayer

Father, I have been numbed by my settling for far less than the blessings and freedom that is promised to me. I will be set free because "who the Son sets free is free indeed!" (John 8:36) Come Holy Spirit! Bring me the cleansing and emotional healing that I desire. I am dying under this bondage! I know that you will remember me, and send me the Deliverer--- the Son Jesus, in His holy name, amen!
