This is for all my discipling friends who have ventured out on this journey with me. You have walked with me and have spoken into my life, and with such grace, you have been instrumental in my process of transformation. I now know this has become my life message. I write this for all of us to experience because it is the subject of our discipling community, partnership with Holy Spirit for our transformation into Sonship. Thank you for your great love ABBA.
“When your free, the people in your life who are bound will be attracted to what you have.” When those words were spoken to me, I, for a split second wanted to defend myself and then I knew there were never truer words spoken. The truth of that statement has it tentacles in that big mountain in my life that needs to move. Oh and it’s moving! The subject of “these people” has been the subject of my failure, the bane of my existence, my continuous torment, me dragging this thing to the light, and to the light and you know it...to the light. It is a destiny destroyer, because if the Lordship of Jesus is not ruling on the thrones of your life then self is. This mountain in front you that will not move is self. The Holy Spirit in His absolute kindness brings the freedom that the Son died for in the form of truth. I no longer have to submit to all the ways I protect self because fear has ruled and erected walls that must come down. Absolutely those walls dominate! Who gave them that kind of authority? Me, I gave those walls power in my life, my flesh wanted and needed walls of protection. The Lord said to me “you have died many deaths over this”, but only one death is necessary, and Jesus did that for all of us. I believe the work has been done, and I see in the most basic ways of interacting that the person responding has indeed been transformed from the inside. All of my self righteousness cannot change me at the very core.
The relationship with the Trinity has now brought me front and center with trust. Even writing these words brings with it such an awe of my sweet Savior. He continues to save me from self. Romans 6 and some of 7 has been my companion in these truths being established. Romans 6:7 For when a man dies, he is freed, loosed, delivered from the power of sin among men. I am freed, loosed and delivered from the power of these walls being my main mode of operating. All self protection is released, and God confidence is springing forward. Then Romans 6:18 And having been set free from sin you have become the servants of righteousness of conformity to the divine will in thought, purpose, and action.
You have to be willing to have the rules redefined. While the Lordship of Jesus rules, He redefines the rules in my life. In this new creation that I’m operating from, she is so different from the identity the world created. She is fierce, but she is birthed in Christ who is the Lamb, and his death broke not only the association with sin, but the association with the system of the law of works as a reference to righteousness.(Romans 7:4 Mirror) So this fierceness she carries is a fierceness not from the law of works but is one birthed in holiness or wholeness which is a work of Holy Spirit in my life. This fierceness knows no boundaries because it represents and expresses the very heart of Jesus. This fierceness is upsetting households, and refuses to be silenced. This fierceness cannot be controlled by another man, there is absolutely no way for control from another to enter in. In the midst of my failure the sweetness of the Lord came in as waves of sweet love and began redefining the rules for how I judge myself, I no longer can judge myself by the traditions of the church, but He who is the head of the Church calls me daughter, and that position is one of great authority and great responsibility. Where can she go? She goes to the very religious, to the very broken and she jumps into the mire with them and walks life with them all the while speaking with fierceness the truth of the ABBA of Jesus.
