> >Good Morning Sweet Ladies. I don't usually write on >Saturday, but I have been here this morning revisiting >my week and pondering where the LORD JESUS and I have >been this week. I will tell you it was a hard one for >me. As I sat this morning and went back over the >different places that the LORD and I have been in the >WORD and the different things HE has allowed me to see >this week my heart is thankful that HE is a patient >loving savior. HIS grace and mercy to me amaze me >again this morning. I had a very tough week. I went >and visited some old ghosts this week...I don't >recommend this to you. I share it with you because of >what the FATHER has shown me in the last hour or so >that I have been sitting here with HIM. I looked >specifically this week at Jochabed (the Mother of >Moses), Joseph (as he was leading the Israelites >across the Jordan River) and Mary Magdalene (at the >tomb of JESUS) Each of these would have implications >for my life. I am not going to go into all of those >details. I was sitting here and I glanced back over >the last two posts that I wrote. I will share with >you a couple of line from those two posts an then I >will move on with what I believe that LORD JESUS has >written on my heart to share with you this morning. >And GOD spoke all these WORDS: "I am the LORD your >GOD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of >slavery. > > >Ladies, I don't know what kind of picture that image >brings up in your mind, but as I sit here and imagine >in my mind the >LORD JESUS bringing me to HIMSELF...that is an >overwhelming picture >in my mind. I know what Egypt was in my life. I am all >too well >aware of what slavery is. I lived in a world of >generational sin and >bondage, as did many of you. Stop what you are doing >right now and >just imagine the LORD JESUS coming through the muck >and mire of the >sinful place where HE found you. Imagine HIM wrapping >HIS arms of >love around your life and CARRYING YOU OUT OF THAT >PLACE. > >I will now share what I have been reminded of this >morning. Mary Magdalene had been set free from the >demons in her life. Because of this her devotion was >to CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE. I was reading an email >this morning that said this: >HE was her sole focus...I thought about that. This is >true, HE was her sole focus, but ladies let me tell >you that HE was also her SOUL focus. JESUS was what >it was all about to her. I needed HIM to remind me of >that. That was the part of Mary Magdalene that I so >want to translate into my own life. >But there is more. I could go on about all of the >history I went through this week, but the important >part of all of that is what the LORD JESUS has etched >onto my heart and mind yesterday and this morning. I >sat and I was thinking about our website >(www.abministry.org) and my mind could not shake these >words: Learning to understand our Position in Christ >our Power in Christ and our Purpose in Christ... >The LORD JESUS clearly said to my heart yesterday >afternoon and again this morning, "VICKY, it's about >what you are IN ME!" That is so huge this morning >that I cannot even put it into words. The past does >not matter today. The old heart aches, the old ghosts >that live back there, those chains that rattle from >time to time...THEY MATTER NOT FOR WHAT I (THE LORD >JESUS) HAVE CALLED YOU TO DO. >I'm gonna wrap up for today. I want to say a couple >of things to you. As you consider your life this >morning ask yourself this question: Vicky (your name) >what has more of your attention right now that the >LORD JESUS? >If you are focused on the past things and the hurts >and the heart aches of yesterday then you cannot be >focused on the LORD JESUS who set you free from those >chains! I know this....I have had a out of focus >perspective this week! >Ask yourself this question: Vicky (your name) have you >allowed the LORD JESUS to loose you from those chains >yet? >If the answer to that question is no, I want to tell >you that HE came to set you free. Spend some time >today in Isaiah 61:1-4, and take a look at Galatians >5:1. Go back and read through some of the book of >Exodus...HIS desire for you is freedom from bondage! >If you have allowed HIM to set you free please don't >do what I sometimes do...Please do NOT GO BACK and sit >in the middle of the chains...This is dangerous...this >is where the LORD JESUS said to me: "VICKY, YOU ARE >NOT THAT PERSON! YOU ARE MINE!" Remember what you >are IN CHRIST! That is so huge I cannot even >articulate it! You have a wonderful weekend. > >FATHER, thank you for the LORD JESUS. Thank you for >reminding me over the last couple of days that IT IS >ABOUT JESUS...IT IS ABOUT WHO I AM IN HIM! Thank you >for loving me. Thank you for being patient with me. >Thank you for being tender and gentle and for being MY >EVERYTHING. Keep me focused on YOU. Keep my eyes and >my heart transfixed on the glory of WHO YOU ARE. It >is an amazing thought to think that YOU, THE KING OF >GLORY, THE LORD OF ALL THAT I AM, would invite me to >have a personal relationship with YOU! WOW...thank >you so much. I love you and I am thankful beyond >words this morning that YOU have reeled me back in >again! WHAT A GRACIOUS LORD YOU ARE! >In the MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS...AMEN > >Because it is ALL about HIM- >Vicky
