Why am I stuck? Why can’t I feel like I have Value?
Adam lost his value in the garden, and went and hid himself in the trees of the garden hiding from God. Are you hiding from God, have you lost your boldness before God.
“the righteous are as bold as a lion” Why? Because they have put their hope in God not within them selves.
Are you STUCK?
Do you feel Valueless?
Are you feeling worth……less or worth ……FULL Full of worth?
The word says He has made us kings and priests. Given to us all things that pertain to live and godliness. If we walk in the Spirit, and trust God with our hearts and lives, we can’t help but have joy, love, long-suffering, (or patience), temperance, (or self-control) goodness meekness, faith, peace gentleness. These are the fruit (singular) of the spirit. Why is it singular? Because Jesus, through the Holy Spirit is the origin of all these attributes.
The word tells us to “not let the sun go down upon our wrath”. In other words, if you have “missed the mark” or sinned that day, don’t go to bed without talking to God about your day. This scripture doesn’t just mean anger, it means “wrath.” Which is enmity against God any way you discern it. So, you release your wrath (the ways of the world) and the mistakes you made, offering it all up to Jesus, the one who is able to save your soul. He will take your burden so that you may sleep in peace and safety….(Psalms) Cast all your cares upon Him for he cares for you.
Let not your heart be troubled let it not be afraid. Fear not the word says. Fret not, it only causes harm.
He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”Revelation 21:6-8
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.”
This is what the glory of God looks like. Adam was clothed with such in the garden, which is why he was completely at ease with himself. When he sinned, he lost that glory. Jesus gave himself upon the cross so we could have a way back to the glory of God. Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to walk in all the light we have been given, so we can receive more light. The more light we walk in, the more we are given….until eventually. He will, “Strengthen, establish and confirm you. ” We are to walk ‘in the light, as HE is in the light.” Then we have fellowship with Him and with one another.
Let these fiery trials we encounter burn off the dross of the old man and let us put on the new man which is righteousness, peace and holiness in the Holy Spirit.
Do not be surprised, my beloved brethren+ when you fall into diverse trials….for it is the testing of your patience that brings endurance and by those who have waged a good fight will bring a crown of glory if we continue in faith hope and love and do not lose heart in doing good.
As some count slackeness…..etc.
