RECOVERY

Hello my favorite Blog Readers,

Recovery would describe the season I am in. Those who know me oh so very well know that a word definition is next. :)

Recovery- recuperation
-return to a normal state of health, mind or strength
-the action or process of regaining possesions or control of something, stolen or lost
-return to better state or condition
-obtaining of legal right to something
-learning a New way of Life

So lets discuss this in a spiritual sense. I have this burning desire in me to make the enemy aka satan regret ever messing with my life. I also speak OutLoud a lot that I will make the enemy regret messing with my famalies life. So, how do I accomplish this? Do, I go out and raise hell and carry this chip on my shoulder, I dare you to say something to me kinda attitude! Am I out trying to start trouble,fights and quarreling? Nope nOpe and noPe!!!! I turn to God and I turn to His Righteousness. What is righteousnes? Being morally upright; without guilt or sin. Jesus died for my sin and for your sin. Because of HIs blood that was shed, I can live in righteousness and so can you!

Check out these awesome verses:
Matt.5:6 Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed because they will be satisfied.
Matt.6:33 Seek first Hi Kingdom and Righteousness then all the other things will be added...
James 3:18 The seeds of the fruit of righteousness are planted in peace by those who are making peace.
Romans 3:28 We believe that a man is called righteous due to his faith, so he doesn't have to follow the law.
Romans 10:10 It is the belief in your heart that makes you righteous...

Ok, so none of this means being perfect! There is one perfect lamb and he has been slain for you and for me!!!!

The finished work on the cross has made us righteous and the confessing with our mouth that Jesus is the Son of God.

Righteousness is simply a life that is pleasing to God.
So, this is where your relationship with God comes into place. It takes getting to know your Maker adn Creator to know what He likes and doesn't like. It takes spending time to hear His voice. God is crazy for You. He loves you with an everlasting Love. His love is what sets you Free.
One of my favorite verses is John.8:32 The truth will set you Free.
I have recieved revelation the truth is His Love. Jesus is Love and knowing how high and how wide He Loves Us!!!!

I can't get the Kim Walker song out of my head, He is jealous for me...love like a hurricane...

Recovery is going to look different for me as it will for you. I have realized that it might take a day,a week, a month and even years!

Speechless

Speechless

Lord my words are few
but my expectations are great
Lord thank you for reminding me
It is all about You
Please quiet my soul
Lord will You silence my thoughts
Lord I want more of You
Lord I praise You, praise You
You are my truth
You are my voice
Lord I want so much more of You
Have you perfect way in my life
Lord speak to me
Because I stand speechless in your presence
You called out my name
And I will never be the same
You loved me when I didn't love myself
You searched for me
and You found me
Lord I stand speechless in your presence
Lord I love You
Lord I love You
