This week at G42 has been amazing. I recently listened to something by worship
leader Jonathan David Helser, and he says, the very thing you fear the most is
actually YOUR WEAPON against the enemy and the place God wants to use you. My voice, speaking up and out sometimes causes
fear. Talking at the dinner table,
speaking up in class, that may sound simple, but to me, it’s coming from my
core, a place of victory in knowing who He says I am. Andrew, one of our leaders here, says for us
to get used to the sound of our voices. I
remember never wanting to record myself for an answering machine message. Sometimes I feel like I still don’t like the
sound of it, BUT, HE does, right, and He’s helping me to and to say “to hell
with you enemy.”
My voice is a weapon.
We say here, He’s the word, I’m the voice, I have something to say and
I’m going to say it. So many of us have
been attacked in this way, have grown silent and been paralyzed. Why, because the enemy is afraid of the SOUND
OF OUR VOICE. He’s afraid of our lips
opening and uttering out even one little peep of victory, of light, of just an
AHHHHHHH! Of overcoming him. Our voice is like soundwaves, bursts of
sunlight, shooting across the earth.
More freedom in THE VOICE.
This week, we’ve been talking about the scripture “…the word
became flesh.” I’m flesh. He’s the word, and just like it became flesh
in Jesus, it has become flesh with me. I can bring His word. Whoa! My body, when I walk, I bring Him, I am Him,
but me at the same time. Whew! That’s awesome. And Jesus wants to inhabit me, share communion with me, and the Father wants me in the throne room, by His side! Not because of anything I did, but because that’s who He is. Still sinking in.
Another thing My Father is showing me lately is that He’s my
protector and I’m His girl (yeah), what a mighty God to have on my side. I haven’t really known protection, known that
feeling of letting your shoulders down and resting in safety. I’ve thought I would be subject to the enemy,
left in darkness, unprotected, left to the abuses of others, snatched out of my
salvation, as in what He gives me because I’m His, such as purity, can be taken
away. But, I’m realizing the truth of
His violent protection for His ladies.
In class today, we talked about Jesus, His power. The authority given to Him is ours. My insides are getting lit up when I think
of Jesus and what He did, going to hell, conquering the grave, conquering the
enemy. Dang. And the very thing the
enemy thought would defeat Jesus, the cross, is the very thing that actually
defeated him. Wow.
The very thing that I thought was going to take me out, and be the
defeat of me, is actually becoming my authority now. Today, we heard the scripture in Luke 10:
18, when Jesus says, “I saw Satan fall like lighting from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on
snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy, nothing will
harm you.” It’s sinking in.
I want to get this, whatever this is, TRUTH, that God has
for me here at G42! It is training,
equipping, refining, setting you free because we are being unleashed into the
path of our callings, into simply being with Him and being Him for those around
us. I’ve got people that I need to bring Him to.
I have $100 so far for March. I still need to raise $900 more for this
month and $3000 for the rest of my time here.
