I can't have the freedom Jesus gives if  I don't accept it, walk in it, and live in it.

Freedom

Lord thank You for this new day.

Thank You for this new step.

Thank You for taking my sins away.

My freedom in You I receive I accept.

In You I am no longer lost I am found.

In You I am free not bound.

Thank You Lord with all my heart.

From Your ways may I never depart.

Running Myself  Ragged

I  am one of  thousands of  women known as "Side Tracked Sisters". Here's what life is like as a side tracked sister. I have my coffee in the morning on our sofa in the living room. So when I get done with my coffee I get up to go do the laundry, which is at the other end of  the trailer. Well if someone had a hidden camera to watch me, I would look like a mouse on a tread mill. I get so side tracked by things I see that need doing on the way to the laundry, I am lucky to get the laundry started at all let alone finish it! But where I really run myself ragged, is when I constantly retrace my steps due to being side tracked. If  only I would plan and focus I could save steps. Spiritually I was running myself ragged until recently. When I did something wrong I repented and asked God's forgiveness. That's good. But I still walked with guilt, a nagging mind that dwelled on the fact that I did wrong, and anxiousness that I would miss up again soon. Now I have grabbed on to the truth. Let's call wrong point X. When I realize I am at point X  I repent and ask God's forgiveness and do what ever else that needs doing to repair the damage. Then I need to walk clean, free, and clear until the next point X. But I wasn't doing this some how my mind and flesh was keeping me in bondage from one point X to the next point X  via fear, anxiety, and low self esteem. Sure the thoughts I was thinking that kept me in bondage could be considered lies of the devil, but where ever they came from they were keeping me from walking in the freedom Jesus paid for. I am now determined to walk in that freedom, which means point X must stay behind me. None of this kind of thinking can go with me: should of done this, or look what you did, or what you did will ripple here and there , or you will never have victory over that, or your weak or your bad, or you'll never make it. I give notice to this kind of thinking right now Get behind me you have no place or authority here in the Name of  Jesus! You know as of  Sunday 19th year 2000 I believe some shackles have fallen off  Thank you Jesus for freeing me. He Loves me and I know as times goes on He will help me identify more shackles and He will remove them too.

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32, Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:36, There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:5-6
