When you begin the process of Recognizing God in everything, then the appearances of evil will diminish, until they fade entirely out of the picture.
When God wants to teach me something I find that in the beginning, he gives me a little glimpse of what my future will look like if I apply the teaching to my life. The first one I remember was at my first renewal weekend with RICM. While I was praying ,I got this fleeting glimpse of what life is like without fear. That glimpse of what could be gave me hope and led me on a journey of finding that place and dwelling in it. That was years ago and I find that I live in that reality now most days.
The quote at the top of the page was recently the Facebook status of a cherished friend. The moment he posted it, God spoke to me. “That's where we're going” I felt as if he were saying. And I began to see ,almost like the rolling of script, all of the other times he spoken this to me and I wasn't listening.
For a long time now, I've been speaking a lot of power into the devils work. “Oh, look what Satan is doing, Satan is doing blah blah, that's Satan...he's trying to blah blah”...feeling powerless under the weight of it all. At a time, coming to believe that I would never reach the destiny that God has created for me because I could not continue to walk through the attacks of Satan in my life.
When you begin the process of Recognizing God in everything, then the appearances of evil will diminish, until they fade entirely out of the picture.
The day I first read that...and since the corresponding essay...I have been on a journey to see and speak out only what God is doing ..walking into my destiny with my eyes fixed on the Father.
It was last night when my oldest son was involved in a very serious car accident, which he emerged from completely unscathed, that another facebook friend posted. ...”I don't like the attacks that are coming on your family lately.”
And much to my delight I realized...I never even noticed. I had to search my facebook history to see the posts about the accident, multiple illnesses sweeping through out household....I honestly never saw Satan in any of it . With my eyes fixed on Him I have only seen the goodness of what He has done. Who the Son sets free is free indeed!
