This afternoon i was doing some soul seaching, some spirit searching ... needing a rhema Word from God about who i am, more details on the real ME. Sometimes knowing something in your head isn't enough; the spoken, alive Word is really needed. And i believe God knows that, He knows that my humanity longs for communication with Him - after all, that's why He created His kids.

So this afternoon, I met God on our two-way street and did some communicating back to Him - because that's also why He shared His breath on the sixth day of creation. As He revealed a Scripture to me, I began pouring out my heart to Him, asking for a fresh washing, a new outpouring of His Spirit. He's so faithful, so loving, kind, generous and merciful. Here's the Scripture - I love it:

"But whoever did want Him, who believed He was who He claimed and would do what He said, He made to be their true selves, their child-of-God selves. These are the God-begotten." (John 1:12-13, Message)

So no matter what I feel that I fail to do in a day, no matter how low i let my attitude slip, no matter whatever .... if i confess it and bring it to Lord, He forgives. I am His. I am God-begotten. And He has already made me to be my true self which is a child-of-God self. Not a failure, but a person of faith who has tugged securely over her mind the helmet of salvation and strapped tightly over her heart the breastplate of righteousness.

All because of Jesus.

Amen, Heather!!

That is our weapon, our shield of faith! I need it some days hourly! But daily I need it, to remind the enemy - when he tries to remind me that I'm not worthy-..I am who God says I am!!!

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD!
