I Am Actively At Work In Your Life
Dear child, how is it that you are starting to believe those same lies
once again? Haven't I told you that there is no condemnation for you?*
Have we not visited this area before? Have I not assured you that you
are deeply and fully loved, and that the precious blood of My dear Son
washes you clean and presents you holy before Me?
Do not allow yourself to question these things, for My word is truth,
and I cannot lie. I have made you accepted in the Beloved, and there is
no power on earth that can condemn you.
Yes, dear one, I know that you have become painfully aware of an area
of inadequacy in your life, for My Spirit is the One Who revealed it
to you. But I did not show it to you in order to condemn you. No,
dear one, I showed it to you to motivate you to cooperate with Me in
overcoming it. My desire is to transform you to be more like Me. I
will work with you in that area, to remove the inadequacy and failure
and sinful nature; and I will empower you to walk in a greater measure
of My holiness.
I need you to stop condemning yourself each time I show you something,
and start to cooperate with Me in the transformation process. We are
going to work together, one area at a time, until you are conformed
to the image of My Son. When we finish cleaning up this area, I will
show you another.
Dear one, do not be dismayed when this happens, for I will always be
at work in your life, and I will constantly reveal areas to you where
I want you to grow and mature. That is part of what it is to belong
to Me. I don't reject you for having these areas of inadequacy or
immaturity, but I am not willing to leave them as problems in your
life. I want us to work together on them, so that you come to the place
of overcoming, and you walk in My victory.
The enemy of your soul as formed a strategy against you that he uses
over and over again. That strategy is to condemn you each time that I
show you a new area in your life that I want to transform. It is time
to stop playing into his hand.
It is time to stop disqualifying yourself in your mind, it is time to
stop receiving his lies of rejection against you. Child, you will not
be flawless until the day when you stand perfected before Me on the
other side of this life, for you carry a sinful nature in your physical
body. But do not despair, for every one of your flaws are covered by
the blood of My Son, and He is able to present you pure before Me.
That is why I am able to say in My word that "There is therefore now
no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus."*
I have set you free from condemnation and I have loved and accepted
you. It is time for you to believe Me when I tell you this. It is time
to put aside the feelings of inadequacy and disqualification. Start to
hope in Me. I have prepared a future and a destiny for you, and I am
actively at work in your life to bring it to pass.
Do not mistake My transformation activity in your life as a sign of My
displeasure. Yes, I will force you to face your flaws, inadequacies
and wrong attitudes, but I do that because I love you and because I
intend for you to over come them. I have destined you for great things
and I am actively at work in your life to help you accomplish them.
