I was reflecting on this passage this morning and the many habits that we have been blessed to change over the years. We may not see the incremental daily progress but one day we see the growth and are grateful.
Todays passage really requires focused effort in areas of life that others call “strongholds”. They may or may not be strongholds classified as sin but may be beliefs or behaviors that prevent us from living a guilt/ condemnation free life.
This passage is the antidote to that thought, “ It feel like we will never overcome this thing”!
The truth is that”EVERY” plant which our Heavenly Father did not plant will be torn up by the root.
How?
“Christ purchased our freedom and redeemed us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us…”
As leaders, it is important that we identify, understand and address the things that slows us down and prevents us from running toward the fight: animosity, anger, doubt, unbelief, unforgiveness, mistakes, bruises, abuse, low self esteem, loneliness, strife, etc.
Today is the day to rejoice and to be free to pursue our devine purpose because we are covered by the blood of Jesus that blots it all out.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].”
Amen.
Be encouraged!
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“He answered, “Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant will be torn up by the roots.”
Matthew 15:13 AMP
