Revelation (PART 4)

Yesterday for me was a time when Satan decided to throw everything against me in spiritual attack. Voices were throwing lies around inside my head and just continually were pointing out every fault I have and were very nasty about it!
Lies such as "you are worthless", "you are very unattractive in both your personality and looks", "people see you as a child and not someone to espect/want to get to know", "you are not loved by people", and all these things i've struggled with and have battled in my mind lately.
I combated it with verses and promises that went against what they were saying, but it still left me very shaken.

This morning I woke up to what i thoguht was my aunt calling me to wake up, however found that she was still asleep, and figgured it was God wanting quiet time with me. So I sat down and began to read.

I was completely overwhelmed by the magnitude of my sins at this time as I sat down (as most of last night). A nast habit of chronic lying I have, how enormous my pride is, the way I am very me focused, how I do not love others the way I ought to.

I began reading Psalm 51

"Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love,
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my trasgressions
and my sin is alway before me.
Against you and you only, have I sinned
and done evil in your sight,
so that you are prved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.
Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother concieved me.
Surely you desire truth in the inner parts,
you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
Create in me a clean heart, O God
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me joy in my salvation
and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.

"But becauseof his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive wiht Christ even when we were dead in transgressions" ~Ephesians 2:4,5

"This righteousness from God comes throguh faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference [between Jews or Gentiles] for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace throguh the redemption that came by Jesus Christ" Romans 3:22-24

***Just all of Romans 4,5, and 6!!! Mostly 5. Please get out your bible and read it!!

"Death has been swallowed up in victory.

Where O death is your victory?
Where o death is your sting?

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us victory through out Lord jesus Christ.
Therefore my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord because you know that you labour in the Lord is not in vain"
~1 Corinthians 15:54-56 (Just read all of 1 Corinthians 15...It's AMAZING!)




Thus, THANKS BE TO OUR LORD JESUS!



Then I read Hosea.
You should too, Partiularly chapters 1-3.
Hosea 2:14-23 blew my mind, i'll just type out verses 19,20 and the end part of 23 here.

vs 19,20: "Iwill betroth you to me forever,
I will betroth you in righteousness and justice,
in love and compassion.
I will betroth you in faithfulness,
and you will aknowledge me the LORD"
vs 23 "I will say to those called 'not my people', You are my people' and they will say, 'You are my God'

Now read Romans 5:9-11 firstly comparing them to Hosea 19,20.
And read Revelations chapters 21 and 22

Then Romans 9:25, and just all that chapter, then just all of Romans!!

What Hosea is talking about is Israel having a 'spirit of prostitution' turning from God (paralleling to the story of Hosea and Gomar), this paralleling to gentiles (aka US) as talked about in Romans by Paul!

And the aweome thing is, God has brought us back at a price (death) while we were prostituting ourselves to sins and things of this world, thus we can abide in Him and LIVE!
He has brought us at a price!

THIS IS AMAZING!

WOW!

AMEN.

God, THANKYOU!!
