“I face the whole world, living FEARLESS. Take me as I am. Know me, this is who I am.”
Words of freedom for me. I have been asking myself the question lately, “what would it be like and feel like to live in the light of his freedom?”
We are fallen people . I am a fallen and broken person. That matters to God. My fears and wounds matter to Him. As I read in 1 John chapter 1, John declares a message that resonates in my soul, “This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” See , we all have a Holy of Holies in our soul. This is the place that is most sacred to us. My Holy of Holies contains fears, unbelief, wounds, questions, hurts, and insecurities. I hold on to that place tight. Just like the scripture, only a few can pass through the curtain into the sacred place of my heart. God desires that place in me. I have been reminded by him that the more I hold on to that place in me the less freedom I know and feel in him. “In him there is not darkenss at all.” He desires to shine himself into my dark places of tender wounds and pent up fears.
Scripture also says, “it is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” He desires me to be free from the dark place I clench tight in my fists. Here is one thing I have forgot; a real truth. “If I walk in the light, as he is in the light, I have fellowship with one another.” Freedom! My wounds and fears brought to the surface, and laid out bare in the His light, brings fellowship with him and with others. The enemy wants to keep our holy of holies tied up tight in us. The enemy desires for me to stay enslaved to my stuff. God is the God of light. In him there is freedom. There can be freedom in me when I let him be the light. I desire to be so engulfed in his light that my fears and wounds fall away. I desire for him to make life out of me. I can only do that if believe his light is good. For in him is the safest and most freeing place to be.
What holds you back from being free?
What is stored up in your Holy of Holies that you have kept from his light?
i’m in a place of needing to give God my deepest fears and insecurities. that level of vulnerability is petrifying to me. i need to trust, though, that He will hold my heart gently. that He will be more faithful than anyone has ever been and ever can be to me.
i’m asking Him to speak His powerful words into the darkest recesses of my heart: let there be Light! i won’t like what i see, but i need Him to take hold of it.
that is my only chance at true freedom.
Please pray for me…..that my Holy of Holies will be free…..
