"The gates of hell shall not prevail against My redeemed ones."
This is good news, Jesus. Thanks for reminding me. The following are the gates of hell that I had been burdened with lately and I think threaten us all.
1.Deception and twisting of all God has said. Satan is always questioning, "Has God said . . .?" Does God really love you? Is God really that good? God says to me, "Who told you . . .? Who are you listening to?"
2.Fear drives this world system in one way or another. We even employ it's power in the church. But God has not given us a spirit of fear. He uses love to draw us to Himself and motivate us. Love is liberating us to be our true self, flourishing with His delight.
3.Anger is often used by us to create a sense of protection of ever getting hurt again, thus bringing about separation from others, isolation and loneliness. Think about it.
4.Distortion of the original design of all God created. God is about restoration of that design and I am one under His construction. I will relax and trust His abilities. "I make all things new. You are a new creation in Christ."
The power is Mine, not yours.
Redemption was My idea, not yours.
I have interceeded for you according to My heart and purposes.
My words do not return to Me empty.
Don't strive to do or to be. Enjoy Me. Relaxe in My love and care.
I have called you to reign in this life but you do so by resting in Me, not by stirving.
Acknowledge My presence. I AM here.
Enjoy the love relationship I have established with You. Come enjoy Me now.
Thank You Lord! The gates of hell will not prevail in holding old flesh patterns in their destructive power.
I am free to follow Jesus.
I am free to enjoy Jesus.
I am free to grow up and mature as a son/daughter.
I am an image- bearer. I can do the works of Christ; all that He wants to do through me.
I can throw off limitations from an incorrect perception of my identity as a son/daughter.
