Freedom

Dear God,

Thank you for freedom in You. God help us set our heart chambers free! Help us share your truth without restriction. Teach us to be vulnerable and free to express Your love. We have to first open up and let go in order to be free.

We won’t ever be free in discipline and dedication to the will of God for our lives, unless we let God give us the discipline to do His will, which is easy, free, powerful, and loving. With God, it’s just love. In this walk with Jesus I learn more and more that I know nothing and that I can do nothing without the Lord. He guides me and leads me, and never forsakes me. I’m not even the author, He is. I’m just his daughter who always desires to sit at His feet and let Him write this love story for all His children, whether they are lost right now or found tomorrow. I’m His priced vessel He bought on the cross. He believes in me and trusts me with His sheep, with His ministry, and with His heart. I’m not my own and oh Lord I’m so happy that I don’t need, nor want control anymore. I’m done putting you in a box Holy Spirit. Fly, soar with me, Mighty God. Be free you little Birdy, Yona. My Abba is telling me, “ learn to fly daughter from Me, and never grow weary, never seek control, I will cover you with my wings and give you strength for My Will, don’t you worry, nor you be afraid for when you are weak, I am strong, and I’ll never let you fall.”

Lord, when you have your way something breaks in me and something has to break in the spiritual realm, and someone breaks out in song to you on the earth. I thank you! These aren‘t my hands anymore, Lord I died to self, now you write the words within me because me and You are one. You are my everything. You are the Author and Finisher of our love story. And I trust You to tell it at the perfect time to reach Your children, the masses! Do what you have to do Lord. Let me be free in your will Father! I don’t know what you are doing, who will taste and see You, or all the lives changed by our love story, but I’m privileged to have a seat at the table of my all time best selling Author. My forever was already written even before time it self, Your word. I know You will capture people’s heart in every aspect of this life you gave me. Thank you for letting me be apart of Your story. Let me know and give that love that you have for your children. This is your ministry Lord. I’m your offering, I’m from dust and I’ll return to dust, I’m your sheep and You know me. Lead me on this strange, uncomfortable road, this narrow and long train.

I am falling inlove with the Author over and over again in a new way, with new wine, and new power, and new freedom.

Pearla encouraged me to always remember the first time we wrote together and Your presence I experience, when it was so overwhelming, when I fell deep into Your arms, and I knew I was a Princess of the King of Kings. That I had You forever and with You I’ll always be. Your presence is all I need. I remember Your presence, oh how intimate writing with my Author is. Feelings can’t replace that experience, it couldn’t if the enemy tried. I can’t let feelings take me out of Your presence.

Where can I go from Your presence? “I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:7‬ ‭

I won’t let societies structured, serious steps stop me from being free in our story. This is Your book, I’m sorry for making it about me, forgetting it’s all about You. The one who saves!

God is going to do what we let Him do! I can’t keep putting a box around His perfection, because perfection is Jesus! Being holy and perfect like His son is not for me to do, but for God to do within me. In my life by the fruits of the Spirit. We don’t know what perfection is. Society seems perfect. Society tells us everyday what’s perfect, who looks perfect, and what we should do and who we should be. I am who God says I am and I will do what God tells me to do. Whatever comes I know the Lord has me In His loving arms, to convict, and to teach. Lord i know you will set define connections, testimonies, healings, editors, publishers, and creators, and artist, and it will be known so loud. You are going to set up everything.

“Lord let me have a receiving heart, ask and I shall receive according to your will, be strong and courageous, I trust you Lord. Don’t be discouraged. It’s all for His glory. We have to take ourselves out.“ - Pearla

I’m no longer in my comfort zone…

My comfort zone was writing the book, but now I’m on different platforms and every aspect in my life is being displayed for the world, it’s a testimony for others!

God has a ministries for me in different aspects, in new uncharted territory, to connect with different people and to reach many people, to speak to new audiences.

A Shepherd has to be better at receiving, loving, nursing, knowing people, speaking, and listening. I have to go to different platform to learn each audience and get to know people with different testimonies, so they too can testify and bring the love of God too many. Knowing, feeling, experiencing the pains of others and all of it bringing us together into a state of healing is the heart of God.

We have to be the little sheep first as we learn from the Shepherd, before we are placed to be Shepherds of the sheep, of the church. We have to be changed by our Shepherd to pour out.

Do you love me? 3x Jesus asked Paul, and only after Paul learns the way Jesus truly loves him. Only then he was ready for ministry as he was led by the fear of the Lord, and not by fear of men.

Church is the heart of Christ! When we know the love of Christ then we build our house on that rock, the love of God! John knew he was loved, and we are so free to do what John did! Taste and see that the Lord is good! Redeemer! God you overwhelm me with your presence.

Holy Spirit brings the truth and our life is the worship we bring to the Lord. Just share your testimony! Same God and yet there are so many different stories!

Tear down my walls Lord. “You can’t hide I know you, stop running from Me.”

Let me be like Abraham, FREE, just talking to you all the time. Free indeed, let’s stop being stubborn. We haven’t given it over to God completely if we are going through the same deliverance, let go of control and let freedom in Christ reign. He already knows, set your heart chambers free. We can’t live with this Lack of vulnerability, with this running from our own hearts. Lack of vulnerability leads to a lack of freedom, and secrets separate us from the truth, the true love of God. SHARE!
