The Resurrected King is resurrecting me -Elevation Worship, Resurrecting
The line from this song has been in my Instagram bio for probably a year now. I thought I knew what it meant until I was laying on the floor in our room during Month 2 of the Race during a Storytelling Team Time. So here we go.
I have been on the Race for less than two months and man oh man has God been tearing down walls inside of me since the start.
Let’s start with Month 1 in Côte d’Ivoire. I learned very quickly that my opinions and my words are important. If I have something to share, why am I not sharing it?! God gave me a voice, He created me, the things I have to say are valid because I am from Him!
Time for Month 1 Debrief! This was a four day period where my life was wrecked. God broke down so many boxes in my brain that don’t need to be there! Towards the end of Debrief, I talked with Katy, one of the Squad Leaders (SQL). She is on the field with us for the first six months of the Race until new SQLs are raised up from within our Squad. As I talked with her and prayed with her, God broke down my need for validation from other people, and built in my the mindset that He loves me and cares for me more than any person every could. Anything He could and will ever say to me is infinitely more important than anything any person could ever say. He also continued to build up the mindset within me that my words are valid and so are my opinions.
So here we are in Month 2 in Ghana and God continues to wreck me. I met with Katy, the SQL, again today. Today, we had dinner together to catch up and make sure I was good! One thing led to another, and our conversations led to talking about how I hate asking for help. I’m still figuring out the why to this, but I’ll let you know when I do.
As I laid on the floor during team time tonight, I listened to a song I have listened to a hundred times. Jesus resurrected from the grave and he is now resurrecting me from every lie I have ever told myself. He is resurrecting me from every insecurity. He is resurrecting me from every heartache. What a truly freeing feeling to let the King who resurrected from the grave, resurrect you from every pain that has happened and will happen in your life!
Friends, He wants to set you free, you just have to be willing to say yes and be willing to acknowledge what is wrong. You can be healed, you just have to come to the realization of what is wrong in order to fully understand what you are being healed from! Embrace it, walk through it, deal with it! Accept the healing!
