God told me I was a palm tree the other
day. It was a pretty smooth pick up line that He said to me as I sat
by the pool at debreif watching some guy climb to the top of a palm
tree with just a rope. It was quite impressive. Once he reached the
top he took his machete and started chopping off all the dry
branches.
Jesus spoke to me saying: “You’re
sitting here watching this man trim the palm tree. Before this
process It stands strong and beautiful, but there are some dead
pieces hanging off. In order for it to grow with even more beauty the
old leaves must be cut off. Do you see Becky, you are this palm tree,
standing firm in beauty and strength but to move forward, to grow I
must cut off the old branches. It is going to hurt. Later on,
however, you will stand stronger than ever in me with even more
beauty and strength. This is the Refiner’s fire. It is a continuous
process of your life. Brokeness is beautiful. It shines brighter than
before, just like a broken mirror is able to give more reflections to
others.
Becky, you’ve been told many lies that
you believe about your identity. You’ve accepted these lies; lies of
being selfish, self-centered, arrogant, stuck up, not good enough,
caring only about yourself. You believe these lies, but they are not
who I made you to be, they’re not who you are. These lies consume you
and the way you act. You live to be the person these people tell you
you are. Why? You have written these words upon your heart. You lack
confidence because of this, you are not these things. These words are
from Satan, they are his lies. They consume you and are keeping you
from being the person I intended you to be.
You are strong, you know this. You are
strong. People see that and know that, but it is okay to show hurt
and pain. You need to cry it out. Bring Satan’s lies into the light
so you may escape them. He is a foolish man. I am protecting you
Becky. No more lies! Do not believe them! I intended so much more! I
love you, I will not let you get hurt again. You are safe.
This is part of the trimming process,
cutting out the old so more fruit may grow. TRUST ME! You are strong.
I am yours. I am protecting you. No more believing his stupid lies.
No more caring what others think. They love you so much and you
underestimate how much joy and happiness you bring them-more than
you’d even imagine. These lies are tearing you apart inside. You
gotta let them go. They are keeping you from being who you are, the
wonderful, joyful, generous, loving fun person I created.
The lie that you’re not good enough,
that everything is your fault-NOT from me Becky, it’s not! Don’t
believe them! These lies are no more! We’re bringing them to the
light.You are not this person!”
THEN WHO AM I JESUS!?
