Process
proc·ess /ˈpräˌses/
noun
a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end.
I didn’t blog yesterday because I actually felt a little “stagnated” (cease developing; become inactive or dull). I know it was only the enemy trying to convince me nothing was happening or changing since I’ve opened up about my Molestation. He wanted me to get caught up on a feeling, but I know when God is doing something spiritually it’s not about how I feel or the way things look in the process. I must continue to take the steps that God has ordered me to take and believe in the end everything will work out like God preplanned.
Often times we want a quick work in our lives when God is saying let me take you through the process the end result will be the same and worth it you’ll walk in Complete healing but let me deal with this from the Root. Let me Heal everything that has held you in bondage. He wants to deal with the Fear, the Unforgiveness, the Blame and the Shame. Those things have to be stripped off so that we can move forward. It requires a conscious decision for us to Release those things as we go through this process. When we refuse to hold onto those things we take back the power from the enemy to hold those things over us. Spiritually those things are called Strongholds, a habitual pattern of thought, built into one's thought life. 2nd Corinthians 10:4 makes it more clear when it says: “(for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)”. It’s like we’re fighting a battle and the first place the enemy try to defeat us in this battle is in our mind. So those thoughts of Fear, Unforgiveness, Blame and Shame tries to take hold of us tightly squeezing the life out of us, causing us to feel Defeated, but I refuse to be defeated when God has given me the Victory through Christ Jesus. Acts 17:28 tells me, it’s because of Him the I Live, Move and have my Being. God has given us everything we need in Christ.
So it all boils down to I must be committed to going through this Process even when I don’t feel like it, Even when I have no Evidence, even when my Mind becomes a Battlefield. I Got This and So Do You.
I’m going to end with this very important scripture to remind you that we are fighting a Spiritual Battle that takes place in our minds and we have to learn how to come out with the Victory in that Battle. When you’re being bombarded with defeated thoughts read and mediate on 2Corinthians 10:3-5. I’ve put it in 2 different translations to help you Understand it Completely.
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV
“We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NLT
