Electra AdamsTo Him, Who sits on the throne, be blessings and glory, and wisdom and power forever! Your Majesty, our Lord and God rules and reigns! We are in a new season of our lives, let us walk in our new mercies. God is always about changed lives. It really doesn’t matter whether we were born a certain way, with certain tendencies, weaknesses or vulnerabilities. His glory comes through our yielding to change.
If you fear and respect Him, allow me to declare what He has done for my soul. I realized that I had issues, therefore I cried unto Him believing He would give an ear to my cry. I extolled Him with my whole heart, for, I have learned to keep my doxology in tact. He is not my main squeeze, my buddy,  nor is He my Boo-boo. Understand, He is not a man.
I learned from experience that if I regard iniquity (the hidden sins of my linage) in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. Therefore, I make no excuse as to why I do like I do, nor do I boast on the fact that I am like my mother or my dad, as to blame them with no remorse in my heart: the Lord will not hear me. For, we were all born in sin and formed by iniquity. But, when I’ve looked into the mirror (God’s Word) and discovered what displeases Him concerning me, I determined in my heart that I will not sit here, in this place wherein I am bound, and die. He has already commanded life in me, and declared that He will perfect that which concerns me. My soul feasts on His Word, therefore, He increases in me; darkness is dispelled and I become more like Him. I embrace the change I now see.  I am no longer labeled by my parents (my mother who was a Hittite, nor my father who was an Amorite). I am no longer attached to the nativity of their strongholds that once controlled me. I have accepted the work afforded me by His Blood; I am now a new creature. I have had a Blood bath (Ezekiel 16:6-14).
The traditions of days gone by can become a birth defect. Recently, a ministry was beginning a clothe closet for a community. We had received a huge donation of very fine clothes and thought to share. The leader closely examined the gifts. “Here, take these back! I don’t wear pants! I don’t  believe in them and I won’t give them to anyone else!” I stood back to ponder this great mother of Zion. I realized yet, another level of bondage and polluted blood. The stronghold  and controlled of wrong teaching; invalid interpretation of the Word of God. The soul of man can prosper only through truth. It doesn’t matter how sincere or good a thing sounds, it must also be truth. Some things we preach do not teach. Though we should be cautious and decent in our attire as men and women, the weightier matters are the hidden things of the heart, the spirit of our minds that drives us, and, how we engage the brotherhood in Christ. Our walk before God speaks to how we fellowship among ourselves; our walk with God speaks to our fellowship with Him in our quiet time. It determines our doxology. There is a greatest of these, ‘Love your brother’… We sometimes grow attached to our isms and schisms, thinking them to be good things. Yet, we wonder why we do not grow in Him. Buy the truth and sell it not!
Until next time…good health, great wealth, and the wisdom to keep both.
