As a child of God, we can dwell in His presence, through
our connection with the sacrifice of His Son. We can also fellowship with Him
and hear His voice (Revelation 3:20). We have access to the Most Holy
Place any time day or night (Hebrews 4:16), and we can stand against Satan's
wiles regardless of the circumstance in which we find our self (Psalm
139:8).
Circumstances from our past frequently disturb our daily
life now. We have dreams, nightmares, fleeting memories or an ache in our soul,
which we cannot explain. We fear facing these distant experiences and we do not
realize that they will continue to haunt us until we uncover Satan's lie in the
midst of them, and hear God's truth about them.
These memories continue to effect every moment of our life,
even if we refuse to consciously think about them. They fuel our current
emotions and cause us to over-react to a minor incident. We can unburden our
soul of these negative emotions by allowing God to search our heart, to reveal
to us our anxious thoughts, and to free us from Satan's bondage over our past (Psalm
139:23-24).
God's truth is our lamp and light and it searches our mind
and emotions (Psalm 119:105; Proverbs 20:27). God's
Spirit leads us into all truth (John 16:13). If we are open to facing the
lies Satan planted in our past, and are willing to take the time to listen to
God's truth about those experiences, He shall set us free indeed (John
8:36).( www.theophostic.com )
Prayer:
Father God, help us to sit quietly before You and to receive
Your healing from the lies Satan planted in our past. Speak to us by Your
Spirit to set us free from his bondage in our soul. We thank You for wanting us
to walk in Your truth and for making this a possibility in our life. Heal us
from the buried secrets of our past, which affect every moment of our life
until we allow You to shed Your light on them, to share Your truth to us about
them and to set us free.
Thought for the Day:
The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in
every Believer and wants to set us free to serve and worship God in spirit and
in truth. - Romans 8:11; John 4:24
