John's Journey Continues

As John’s journey continues,  I lead John with an amazing answer to his struggle for deliverance and assurance. After many years I have lead him to trust Me in My fullness.  John’s new assurance verse is:
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Me, because he trust in Me.
After a long period of doubt, John discovered his faith was hindered by legalism. He had heard the term, but had never fully applied to himself. John found himself in a place of being double minded. It was not a complete faith. John asked his Pastor for counsel. John’s Pastor recognized what John was doing wrong. He was dwelling on his salvation experience to prove he was saved. He was also trusting his gift if poetry. Both things were good, but John made the mistake of looking to these for his assurance.
John’s Pastor revealed that John’s double mindedness came from the desire to try trusting something other than Me. John learned to not trust in his salvation experience or My gift of poetry, but just Trust Me.
As John worked through this, He let go of using experiences to prove his salvation. Again the answer was Trust Me and what I had done.
John would call upon My Father for deliverance Again the Words rang true in John’s heart, “Trust Christ” The next day lead John to not only Trust Me, but also My Love. John found himself completed as this last step was applied.  John doesn’t know the total spiritual ramifications of this. He just knows Trust Me alone.
After John’s deliverance from double mindness, he can look on Me with a full faith. Truly John is trusting in My Promises and My Love. He can also Trust My Word and My Cross.
Truly this assurance is a great gift from Me. May John go forward in boldness of Faith. May he share My Name and the Face of My Father.  Looking unto Me as the Author and finisher of his faith.

Getting John's Wings

My John’s healing continued as I placed within his heart that in everything he could give thanks. John found the answer to the anxiety he still had, was faced in the verse: “Be anxious for nothing but by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God and the peace that passeth understanding shall guard your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus.” I have designed thanksgiving to be the way out of anxiety. Also as you call upon my name, as I am the Word of God, the Bible becomes even more powerful.
John was learning thanksgiving as a lifestyle. As he did this he began to experience My verse: “Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint. “  John was receiving his wings that would allow him to fly above any situation and find love for those that are around him. Truly as John was thankful He did not need to hang unto those things that caused his anxiety.

Seven Affirmations Of Our Christian Freedoms

As John applied thanksgiving to his life he received a fullness of the freedoms I have for all my children. These freedoms are given because all My promises are true through the verse: ‘If we ask anything according to My will, I hear you and if you know that I hear you, you know that you have the petition you have asked for.
The first Spiritual freedom I give is: “Trust in Me with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Me and I will direct your paths” I offer this freedom to you so that you may Trust Me and find My Guidance and will for you.
My second Spiritual freedom is: “That you would know Me and the power of my resurrection and the fellowship of My sufferings being made conformable to My death. Truly to know Me is one of your greatest blessings. Another verse puts it this way: ”Let him that glories, glory in this that He understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord that exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness for in these things I delight.
The third Spiritual freedom is what lead John to a more intimate relationship with Me. In everything give thanks for this is My Father’s will in Me concerning you.
My fourth Spiritual freedom is that you can live for Me. Truly if you have this desire. I will truly make it possible. Again if you ask anything according to My will, I will hear you.
My fifth Spiritual freedom is that you can love like Me. What does this look like? It’s being able to love others as they are with no judgment. Truly this is the kind of love that changes those lives that are around you. “For My wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated and full of tender mercies. This has to do with having wings like eagles and soaring above others hurts, discouragement, and anger, also circumstances. To love as I love is I receive everyone just as they are. For while they were yet sinners I died for them.

Truly no matter wherever anyone is at in their spiritual growth, they can be meet with love and understanding. The prayer for them is to grow in grace and find true change. This has become John’s new prayer for friends and family.
The sixth Spiritual freedom is the freedom to be pure like Me. Truly as you grow in purity you will see Me more and more clearly. Being pure is such a great gift to walk in. As I give you a clear conscience, you are more and more assured of My presence and answered prayer. “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see Me.”
The seventh Spiritual freedom is you can come to Me at anytime through faith. As you come through Me you can enter My Throne of Grace. By a look of faith My Father receives and sees you as His little child. For the Father is found through childlike faith. Resting on My strength and not your own. Truly My Grace is sufficient for you for My strength is made perfect through weakness. Truly anyone that comes to Me I will receive them and lead them to My resting place.
