If you could see what I see when I looked at you there would be no way our enemy could ever convince you that you were a broken and flawed creature that can never measure up to My standard of beauty and strength. I have made you righteous through My Son Jesus Christ. You can be Holy because I am Holy. Allow Me to live My life through you.

When I look at you, I see perfection. I do not measure your worth by where you have fallen short of My glory. You are My dearest treasure and the recipient of My great mercy. I have loved you before the foundation of the world. You were birthed out of pure love and made to come alive by My very own breath. That's right, it is My Spirit in you reflecting back to Me a faucet of My glory that only you can reflect. You bring Me great joy. You did not chose Me, but I chose you. I have always wanted you and I always will.

You can't begin to fathom the depths of My love; if I did not hold back the weightiness of it, you would not be able to stand to your feet in My Presence. It hurts My heart when you stumble around with your eyes squeezed tightly shut, believing yourself to be walking around in darkness. I am the light of the world and I live inside of you. You are full of light because I dwell within you. Swing open the eyes of your heart and see Me as I am. I am not a far-off God that watches from a distance as you struggle on your journey. I am with you always. Everything that you need to walk in victory in this world is dwelling on the inside of you. Why do you continue to grasp and cling to things that are outside yourself to save you when I have promised to supply all of your needs? When will you learn to trust in My personal and everlasting love?

At no time did I promise you a problem free life. In fact I have told you there would be tribulation in this world. Why  do you think it strange when you face trials? Change your perspective on your life and begin to see those things that trouble you as obstacles that I have already overcome then they will become opportunities for you to glorify My name in the earth. Others will look at your life and how you have risen above the adversity and see My glory all over you. When they see My glory on your life, they will believe that there is a loving God that longs to do them good too. 

I am using you to draw the world to Myself. You have nothing to worry about and nothing to dread. I am.

7/27/2020 Feeling Stuck? Your Breakthrough is in His Hands! (Emily-Rose Lewis)

Feeling Stuck? Your Breakthrough is in His Hands!

God is wanting to do an amazing turnaround in your relationships this season. Feeling stuck? Feeling like you keep coming up against some of the same ongoing issues and the same people holding you back in some way? Guess what? God wants you to know that your breakthrough is in His hands! God is wanting you to partner with Him against the forces of darkness and those things that are blocking your forward momentum in relational growth. This is the day and hour to move into a spacious place of unity in an abundance of love, joy and peace.

The Word of the Lord today is this:

Humble yourself and I will exalt you. Examine your life before Me in the secret place, and I will show you how to come up even higher in Me. It is in knowing Me more that you come to know yourself better. Spend time in My Word and bask in the light of My presence. Share your heart with Me.

I would much prefer you come to Me in humility, asking that I reveal any area where I want you to come up higher, than for you to suffer any pockets of deception you are carrying in your heart about yourself and your life. In coming to Me in humility, you avoid Me having to touch your circumstance to get your attention, or having to be humbled by someone else uncovering what is in darkness. I am happy to reveal what is needed to remove the blocks directly for you.

It is I who purifies and refines. It is I who reveals and elevates. It is I who heals and redeems. I am the One who can make the changes that you long for. Allow Me to form in you a character that is strong enough to carry the high call I have on your life. Allow Me to have full reign in your own heart. Defer to My loving ways in all relational interactions. My Word applies to you. My ways will work through you. My interest in people is to be manifested through you.

You are My Ambassadors – See Yourself as I See You

To those who have ears, hear Me speak. If you want to see Me formed more fully in others, allow Me to form Myself more fully in you. You are longing for others to see Me as I am because you rightly understand that if they see Me as I am, they will be smitten by My beauty and majesty and will never be the same. You are My ambassadors. You are the light that is to shine. Light cannot be overcome by darkness! When I am on the throne of your heart, no darkness will overcome you.

Set aside your need to be understood by others and come before Me. I know you completely, and you will completely love what I see. You are the apple of My eye. You are special. My personal love for you is uniquely yours. There is a facet of Myself that I created within you to reflect to the world. Come to Me. See Me as I am. See yourself as I see you.

I love the way you are. I not only notice all the little things that make you distinctly you, I thought them up. I was there when you were in your mother's womb. I rejoiced with the angels when you were born into the world that I created for you to fill and subdue. You are My idea and My creation. I have planned out all of the details of your life. I know the end from the beginning. There are things about you that you have yet to discover. When you walk closely with Me I will unveil you, first to yourself and then to others, to bless them with the gift that you are, and to help them become more of who I created them to be.

Set Your Sights Higher!

Shift your focus and relinquish control. Focus on Me and cooperate with My work in your own life. You will come into greater alignment with My thoughts and plans to use you to impact and change those relationships that are in your inner circle. Your influence will have a ripple effect, growing in ever widening circles, as your light shines brighter and brighter. You are called to be a light, shining in a wicked and depraved generation, to draw more and more people to the beauty of My glory revealed through your life.

Allow the work of the Cross to be completed in your own life. The power of My resurrection life in and through you cannot be contained. The power of the Cross always spreads in ever widening circles through those who have truly been transformed by it. Set your sights higher!

God knows what He's doing (Emily-Rose Lewis)

Whatever it is that you're going through, don't let that thing push you away from God. Don't let that thing get on top of you. Don't let the trials and worries of life push you away from God, because trials and tribulations must come. Jesus said it would come, but He said to cheer up, He's overcome the world. Don't let the painful things push you away from God. God does not intend for those things to push us away. If you look at the parable of the sower, the seed falls in different grounds, depends on the condition of your heart. If you just feel sorry for yourself, you complain, you push away from God, you don't trust Him anymore- this is the seed of your heart. Because the seed that's been planted in the right soil takes root. And the seed that's been planted in shallow soil, when trials come, it chokes out the word that's been planted in our heart. So we gotta let God change our hearts.

If you're having a hard time going to God in your trials, and don't understand what's going on, and you feel like God is unfair, unjust, or not loving you, and you just can't comprehend God's goodness in the midst of what you're going through- you know your faith is gonna falter. And it's by faith that you receive the good things from God, through the stuff that you're going through. So the enemy wants you to think that God's not good or just, He's forgotten you or He's not working on your issue, or He loves other people better, or that you're just a special case, that He's just against you or something, and when you think like that, you don't get the same benefit from the trial. You're going through trials either way, but when you have a right heart attitude about it, and you go to God, the trials and tribulations make you a better person. They make you more Christ-like. They tenderize your heart and you will get through them. God will bring you through and He does have a good plan, that He is working through all these things and you'll get to see that come to pass and unfold. Just because God has a good plan through the thing you're going through, doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to fully manifest if you don't get into alignment with God and trust Him and put your faith in Him working it out because we are co-creating with God. And so one person could have trial and tribulation and become ugly and bitter and resentful and make these decisions out of that place in their heart and not end up in the same place as somebody else who's going through those trials and tribulations who goes to God and becomes more loving and kind. 

No matter what you're going through, the grace of God is there to help you through it. So if you're not able to bear up something, you need to ask God for a greater measure of His grace to come and enable you to go through what you're going through. A lot of people don't get the grace of God because they're too busy begging Him to get them out of whatever situation they're in.

Be grateful that God knows what He is doing in our lives. God is trying to get us to those places and He's trying to get us our character built so that when we get to those places, satan can't destroy us. Because as you grow in the Lord, and as He releases more blessing and more influence, the character flaws that we have hurt more people. 

God knows what we need, He knows what He's created us for. He knows where He is taking us. Trust His goodness. Trust in His plan. He's purifying us.
