Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away, return hastily, O my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young hart as you cover the mountains which seperate us"
Song Of Sol
Imagine that you have just committed a sin, and
you are standing at the edge of the ocean. You cast that sin out into the ocean
and watch it bob out to sea.....satan would have you believe that you are
casting that sin out into the eternal wretchedness of all of your past sins,
that it is just one more in the pile. Imagine that sin being a soda can...in
this reality...it never breaks down and never goes away. It is bobbing along,
with all of your other sins. Sometimes, it will wash back up on the shores of
your heart, and it will stab you with guilt and remorse, as you remember the
sin. Once the damage is inflicted, it floats back out to the sea of wretchedness.
The tides bring in other sins that awaken the sense of guilt and dread. Satan
would have you NEVER forget the past sins, He is the accuser of the
brethren...he will remind you and pull those sins out of the sea of
wretchedness, to torment you, if you let him.
But, here is the reality. You stand on the
shores of God's grace, mercy and love. You see the sin, recognize it and repent
from it, and cast it off into the ocean of God's love...it is erased for all
eternity, through His blood. Our God takes those sins and they disappear into
the great expanse of His grace! The only thing that is lapping onto the shores
of your heart is God's love, forgiveness and mercy.
If satan is beating you up with the day you have
had, with things you have done in the past, with old junk....stand on the
shores of God's love today, apologize, and cast the sins into His grace. Change
your ways at the shoreline and choose to make different choices. If you have
already cast that sin into the waves of God's grace....satan is just beating
you up...because God doesn't even remember that sin...if you are clean before
the Father - then you are clean. Silence the attack of the enemy...get yourself
back to the shoreline of His grace - and see the expanse of the crystal blue
waters...see the expanse of God's love for you and His forgiveness. It is
FINISHED, when you cast it into His expanse.....silence the enemy with truth!!
1John 1:9
If we confess our sins,He is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.
If you find yourself being beat up, recite the
truth- the scriptures above, out loud------ and silence the voice of the
enemy! He holds His hand out to YOU and asks that you would enter into a
Symphony of His grace today....
