I know... I know... the title is kind of a double entendre, but it's how I feel after the past few weeks. I cannot even begin to explain all of the divine appointments, and words from the Lord that I have received. I just praise God in all of this, and praise him for growing me and answering prayers again, that are long time coming and god-glorifying answered.
I love that for the first time in my life God has brought me to a place where I can be more intimate with him than I ever have before, and in that rest in his endless grace, love, and mercy for me. Through his son Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit I have been profoundly changed from the inside out, because God used outside circumstances to affect me on the inside. Praise him for that. I'm so ecstatic for the Lord because of what he's done that I can't even express how I feel as I write this, I've been delivered from a life-long "stronghold" in my mind, and again, I have to praise God for what he's done.
I'm not worthy of all of this from the Lord, yet he continues to use me & bless me in these ways, and I know & trust that he has a plan for all of this that has not been revealed to me yet, but I trust in his perfect will for my life. I do not write these things to boast upon my life or situation, but I boast upon Christ who has done all these things in me for his glory, and not anyone else's. Scripture has been revealed to me that illustrates how I've felt for so long as I have been shuffling through the "World" as I continue upstream for Christ. John 9:2-4
His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
I've been resting in this scripture for a long while now and it keeps getting thrown to me, and I thank god that though the world sees me physically & labels me and tries to compartmentalize me into their system, that I have rebelled against that in a Christ like way by rejecting my worldly Identity and grasped onto with all I have, my true Identity in Christ Jesus. Thank you Lord for all you've done, and all you will do, and all you’re doing... In Jesus Name
For his Glory, in his name...
Blessings

Yes, Amen praise God for his abundant blessings. It's easy to think Lord, why are you giving me all this blessing, but the Lord has taught me why ask why. Isn't it great when things happen on his clock and in his timing. It's glorious that you have become more intimate with Him. "For we have become partakers with Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end" Hebrews 3:6. Amen. I too was stubbornand did not accept the fact that He loves us more than we can imagine, but then boom He blessed me more than I can comprehend. "For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" Ephesians 2:10. Thanks be to God that he is the master designer of our lives and that He is in control. Cuz if I took control of my life that would be just one big mess. His plan is perfect and it will come to fruition in His perfect timing and I look to this verse for patience, "But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! Habakkuk 2:3 Again praise the Lord for His perfect plan. When you continue to draw near to Him, He draws near to you. Blessings as you continue to draw near to Him.
