Internalized Fears
It is my great hope and purpose today that The LORD will settle issues you have internalized for a long time now, even if it is to only one person.
Why? Because that person greatly matters to God.
The LORD sees and He knows you totally well. Nothing slips by Him concerning you, and you are the apple of His Eye. He has tattooed you into the palm of His Hand and nothing can pluck you out and your walls are ever before Him.
Understanding the depth of his understanding is overwhelming. It’s like laying on the grass on summer night and gazing at the stars and wondering how they all were put there.
He knows the grains of sand on the seashore. He knows the hair strands on your head, and you must realize that He understands you better than you ever could understand yourself. You, reader, are His ultimate delight!
Do you really comprehend that you are His Beloved?
He created you for His pleasure and He always desires your best interests. You are enclosed and enveloped in His Heart and always on His Mind.
He has chosen and predestined you to be conformed to His Image. You were bought with the ultimate price, as He Redeemed you at that very moment you received Him as LORD, and He sealed you with the precious Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 4:30)
“For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:29 KJV
God has seen your silence. You have been exposed to many circumstances, but you are centered in His Will. But you say, “How can that be when everything around me is swirling like a whirlwind?!”
For thus saith The LORD,
“You must learn to be still and realize that I AM with you no matter what you endure and suffer through.
Beloved, I see through your eyes! Everywhere you are and everywhere you go I identify with you.
Everyone you come across no matter how insignificant it may seem, I desire to identify through you to them.
You have seen it before when led. How could you know the secrets of men’s hearts to reach out My Word or My Hand thus witnessing My Nature instead?
I seek the highest place of your heart, the throne of your heart! But you must allow me a willing free reign as you realize that you are seated with Me in heavenly places.
You will begin to see from a totally new perspective. Not so hit and miss as in the past, but a consistency of letting you be Me, what a delight!
For I ascended to My Father’s Right Hand and part of that ascension was taking captivity captive and by the power of The Holy Spirit, I gave gifts to man.
Part of that vital Covenant that I made with you is for you to comprehend that you can have an ascension viewpoint as you are seated with Me. Knowing who you are in Me is what gives the heartbeat of your soul.
Though you are still, small, and lowly of heart it is in these times of silence that I cause the capacity of your heart and soul to grow and absorb more of life experiences, that gives evidence to your Faith.
You know the Scripture by heart, to be still and know that I AM God, (Psalm 46:10) but often you don’t realize my timing of that statement.
Silence and time have a way of bringing to the surface all the insecurities and fears internalized.
So, with that said, the enemy of your soul devises, strategizes, and schemes on an unwavering soul.
Your enemy in his attempts are designed to gain any type of access to keep you earthbound and spellbound with lies attacking you with issues that surface that give him a foothold into your circumstances.
I know the breaking point and I will be with you. Trials can and do overwhelm but with grace and mercy you can bear it.
When the heat is on and temptations, trials, and tribulations surface, know that I AM with you even into the end of the age and I will provide a way of escape that you can bear it. Remember Job.”
Author speaking: You suddenly are being bombarded with thoughts and impressions day by day and thought you were unwavering in your belief.
You question yourself as to what happened then subtly you hear things and have impressions like, “You haven’t prayed like you should, and you have neglected God! He does not want anything to do with you! You are not good enough! And besides all that, you’re not true but false!”
That may be something you would catch on to quick, but you need to know the enemy of your soul sits, watches, and studies you!
Within all Spiritual Warfare as a good Soldier of Christ, the first lesson in war is: Know your enemy!
You are not ignorant of his devices. That is one reason you must know who you are in Christ!
Why? The devil is the accuser of the brethren, and he will bombard you with missile thoughts and impressions that you are not going to make it, and that you are not good enough!
And he will say you are rejected and orphaned by God! With the devil accusing you and assessing your resolve he says you do not have what it takes so you might as well give up! And what is bad is that many believe it!
The remedy is to get into the word of God! It does not matter how old you are in the spirit, get a concordance out and if you are struggling with unbelief and doubt find every Scripture you can claim about doubt and unbelief! Know the word of God and to know who you are in Christ and apply it by speaking it.
For death and life is in the power of the tongue. Jesus is the word, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us. It can be the same for us, let The Word of God become flesh in you!
When we speak God’s Word, we are using eternal words that are forever settled in heaven, and his words will never pass away!
God is no respecter of persons, but he is a respecter of faith. There is a difference in being tried by hell and being tested by God.
God will always test us in our areas of strength and Satan will always try us in areas of our weaknesses. A test is something you take after you have been prepared. Satan bombards us with trials aiming at our weakness to disengage us from The Will of God.
Beloved you have come a mighty long way and you have never endured so much for so long. Get back up and get back the ground Satan has tried to steal from you!
Satan tries to snuff out your light and now take hold of him and rub his nose in the mud as you kick him out of your possession in the mighty name of Jesus!
Get back to the word of God, make it your final authority every day in every circumstance! Measure yourself against the word of God and claim every promise!
STOP beating yourself up, stop agreeing with the devil!
Regardless, who cares what all the doctors and all the lawyers and all negative reports may say. Begin to incorporate God’s word into the mix and get your head out of the bottle, get your head out of the bed, get your mind off television and music, take authority over the devil, and stop self-medicating the pain and all the emotions away!
Have you noticed that self-medicating just makes it worse? Get tuned back into the mind of Christ and claim every promise Christ has purchased for you!
In HIS Grace and Mercy,
