Nourishment for Your Spirit, Soul, & Mind: 1/22/25

I am so thankful that God knows what we need before we even get there. This week I had chosen the Scriptures and made the pictures for my blog last Sunday or Monday. After a very long day, I sat down to read today’s passage and it blew my mind. It has been a really hard two days. After work, I had an emotional meltdown that just ended with me in tears at my Father’s feet. It was 2-3 hours later that I sat down and reread today’s passage.

I needed so much to just rest in the secret hiding place of my Lord. He shields me there. It is my safe place where He preserves me from the trouble the enemy has sent to destroy me and so importantly He compasses about me with the songs of deliverance.

Many think deliverance is for the lost. Salvation is for the lost. Deliverance is a process for the believers. Yes, you read correctly. Most of us have many areas we need delivered from so that we can walk in freedom. Deliverance may quickly be done in some areas while in others it may be ongoing. As long as God is in it, it doesn’t matter the area or how long it takes. Walking in freedom without the snares of the devil holding us down is critical. Many have doors open that the enemy sneaks right through and we don’t even realize. Ask God to show you those doors so they can be shut. So you can repent and be healed.

I have been through a lot of deliverance. I’m not ashamed of that. I’m thankful God loves me enough to bring those dark areas to light. It is only in the light that they can be healed. He just showed me another door that needed closed and it hurt. It’s a hard one. I cried, cleansing tears as I closed yet another door that needed sealed shut. Sealed by Holy Ghost fire. Deliverance isn’t pretty. I cried big ugly tears and still my Father caught those too.

There are doors that must be closed and sealed shut before God can move you into your destiny. Now, the enemy will try to tell you they are harmless. The thing about those “harmless”doors is even when it is cracked just a smidge it can be broken wide open by the devil and he can inflict so much hurt and harm. He can actually destroy your life.

I don’t know what doors you have cracked open. It can be alcohol or drugs, it can be hidden doors like pornography, even gambling. It could be doors from your childhood where you read horoscopes or played with the ouija board. It could be generational curses. It could even be allowing people in your life who carry evil spirits that God has set you free from. You may not even realize some of the doors. Past sexual relationships can create doors. Lean into God with a pure heart and ask Him to reveal those doors. He will start opening your eyes to things you had not even considered. Those doors must be closed to walk in true freedom of the Lord. I can’t speak for you. But as for me, I want complete freedom in Christ. I want to be all sold out for Him. I want all He has for me, His light to shine through me and His fire to burn continuously within me. Time is not promised. We need to close those doors now. 🦅 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal

 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.” ~ Psalm 32:7
