Being a woman of some years, I\u2019ve learned\u00a0a few lessons that I think may be helpful to you.<\/h6>\n
Here\u2019s one I\u2019d like to share.\u00a0I received a miracle yesterday at my place of worship, \u201cChurch.\u201d Let me just say this first. Times certainly are different, from when I was growing up, so my perspective will be a little different from “society\u2019s views” in today\u2019s world.<\/h6>\n
Saying that, let me begin.<\/h6>\n
I know what it is to grow up in a broken, dysfunctional home and from the time I was two-and-a-half years old, to age nine I didn\u2019t know the security or love of a \u2018daddy.\u2019 My parents divorced and my dad moved away. I\u2019m not condemning my parents. I\u2019ve dealt with all that many years ago and I love them dearly, they did the best they could in what they knew.<\/h6>\n
When I was nine, my mom remarried and for 42 years I called my step-dad, \u2018Dad.\u2019 He did the best he could and tried hard to give us a good life. Functional somewhat\u2026secure\u2026and we had structure. He took on a lot, taking a wife and her three children, instant family. It wasn\u2019t easy and for that I applaud him and I love him.<\/h6>\n
Without going through all the good, the bad and the ugly of life, let me just say, everyone, has \u201cstuff\u201d they have to deal with, but for the most part I think I\u2019ve dealt with most of the junk I experienced but it has taken the help of God and lots of prayer. I\u2019ve forgiven, and let go of lots and lots of heartache. But yesterday as I sat and listened to my pastor bring a message that was straight from God\u2019s lips to our hearts\u2026I wept\u2026it was all I could do, not to totally break down\u2026but my weeping was for the realization that I have a daddy<\/em>\u2026someone who loves me in spite of all my mess-up\u2019s\u2026who has seen me struggle and make so many wrong decisions and caused much disappointment but He loves me anyway and forgives me and holds none of it against me and he\u00a0doesn\u2019t even remember it\u2026I felt like I could never have my mom, or, my dad\u2019s approval but yesterday through my Pastor, God said, \u201cI am proud of you\u2026\u201d Oh how I cried\u2026thinking about how for years the enemy\u2019s voice in my head was so loud I could barely hear God\u2019s voice\u2026but yesterday Pastor Scott brought a message that has changed my life\u2026because of God speaking through him\u2026I could hear my Daddy<\/em> God<\/em> saying\u2026loud and clear\u2026 \u201cI am not angry with you.\u201d Since my mom\u2019s death, I\u00a0haven’t had the assurance of knowing she was not angry with me, until yesterday. I believe that one reason I was so sick recently, is because I listened and kept believing the enemy\u2019s lies\u2026but yesterday healing began\u2026God said, \u201cI believe in you\u2026I know you fully and I still chose you and called you.\u201d I\u2019ve tried to live up to what I thought would make my mom proud. Even though I have a personal relationship with the LORD, part of me, even at this age, I constantly longed for her approval. \u201cSee Mom, I\u2019m living my life for God. I\u2019m going to Church, I\u2019m writing for God, I\u2019m on the prayer team, I study God\u2019s word and I\u2019m witnessing for Jesus. Aren\u2019t you proud of me, Mom?\u201d<\/em> I wanted to please God, but I was miserable and hurting. I mean don\u2019t get me wrong I love the Lord with all my heart and serving him is want I long to do. But I couldn\u2019t find His Joy in my heart because without really knowing it, I was trying to please my mom.<\/h6>\n
Then God said, through Pastor Scott, \u201cThank you for serving me\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
He said, \u201cYou are more valuable to me than your ministry\u2026Don\u2019t compare yourself to others because I don\u2019t. Don\u2019t give up on yourself; I haven\u2019t given up on you.\u201d<\/h6>\n
He said, \u201cI don\u2019t see you like you see yourself. You don\u2019t feel about yourself what I feel about you. I have so much more for you than you are currently experiencing. You are my child not my slave.\u201d<\/h6>\n
I think sometimes in ministry people begin to just go through the motions of serving and it begins to feel like work and the love and blessing of doing for God becomes a burden and a chore. We listen to the enemy\u2019s voice and it becomes louder than God\u2019s voice.<\/h6>\n
God said, \u201cEnjoy my love and acceptance. Don\u2019t try to earn what you already have. I will help you carry those burdens if you will give them to me. I have your future in my hands so enjoy your present.\u201d<\/h6>\n
But as I sat there listening to God say these things all I could think about was how I\u2019ve messed up in life, hurt people, not meaning too but the enemy\u2019s words were loud and accuse me every single day. Words of death and destruction, because that is what he does. The more I listened to the enemy, the sicker I became\u2026for months now the Holy Spirit has been saying to me, \u201cRead my word.\u201d Each time I would ask God to help me he\u2019d say, \u201cRead my word.\u201d Not demanding, but gently he\u2019d say, \u201cRead my word.\u201d And then yesterday through a message Pastor Scott gave because of a time in his life, God spoke these things to him and he said it was for us too\u2026God said, \u201cYou are special to me\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
I was set free\u2026free from the past\u2026free from wanting my mom\u2019s approval\u2026free from the grips of Satan\u2019s lies\u2026and accusations\u2026<\/h6>\n
Pastor Scott said, \u201cMake God\u2019s voice the loudest voice in your head\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
I understood then why God had been telling me to read his word\u2026His word dispels the darkness, it sets those in bondage free, it heals diseases and gives the body, mind and soul new life\u2026when we are reading God\u2019s word it shuts the mouths of all other voices and fills us with the truth and not lies\u2026but we have to listen\u2026Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the WORD OF GOD!!<\/h6>\n
If you are hurting and afraid, if you are wondering in a desert and doubts and confusion and sickness and worry has you bound up in knots and shackles\u2026Read and hear what God, your daddy<\/em> is saying to you today.<\/h6>\n
