We like to say that we are 'Christians' and have the promises of God--- doing all the 'right things' saying all the 'right things' and putting that face on for the world to see. But we know...
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17:9&10
So the 'catch' is: "...even to give every man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings..." So if we are not having victory in an area... it may even be as simple of a thing as placing that yoke upon Him. He who searches your heart... have you consciously invited Him in to heal those painful wounds of life... even the places where you did no wrong but were victimized?
Satan loves to attack the innocent by trying to get them to believe that somehow they deserved it or asked for it. The unfortunate thing is that we either stand with God or align with the enemy... so even if we were victimized, if we then fall and believe what satan says about us instead of God's truth... we need to repent of those things and invite Jesus in to ...search our heart, to heal us and make us whole.
"Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise." Jeremiah 17:14
We often like to put up a 'front' like everything is 'okay'... but Jesus wants us to be REAL. He wants us to dig up and talk about those things that hurt and wound... because He wants to take them away. Won't you cooperate with Him today?
