Where's the power?

Stepping Out in RED Shoes!

- Day 116 -

Lean into The Cross and take a closer look!

The other day, God spoke something very important to me while I was in the prayer closet.  He said that I'm going to have to endure the grief and pain, and lean into the cross.  He wants me to take a closer look.

"That's where all the power is!"  

He said.

"Power for Salvation.

Power for Deliverance.

Power for Healing.

Power for Provision.

It's all in the Blood and Resurrection!"

I don't know about you, but I can't bear to watch the movie "The Passion."  I can't bear to go to Easter programs that depict the crucifixion.  It's too painful to watch.  I can barely get through it.  It rips my heart apart to watch such a thing.  But I shall take a closer look, because He has instructed me to.  I already know that He wants me to see something that I haven't quite got a hold of.  

I know "in my head"  that's where the power is, 

but now I've got to walk it out!

I've got to demonstrate it!

As I headed out to The Bonfire today, the Holy Spirit told me to remind the ladies of Romans 8:11a...

"The Spirit of Him who raised Jesus 

from the dead, is living in you!"

I'm always reminded that the devil is a liar and a deceiver.  That's his only weapon and he wields it well.  We've got to constantly remember that truth and act accordingly!

When the devil tells us we're alone...
No!  This verse reminds us God is continually with us!

When the devil tells us we're powerless...
No!  This verse tells us The All Powerful lives in us!

When the devil tells us it will never happen... Well that's not right either.
Jesus, Himself, said in Matthew 19:26  
"...With man this is impossible,  but with God all things are possible!"

That's when I heard 

the Holy Spirit laugh.  

He said...

"With all those ladies at The Bonfire, 

there's enough power to blow up the world!"

 I'm learning more and more each day to lean into God's Word and lean away from the ways of the world.  The ways of the world don't work.  They're powerless.  I'm tired of powerless, aren' you?  I'm embracing powerful!  For now on, I'm calling things as I see them.  

 When I see the devil's DNA all over something...

 I reject it!   I turn away!   I shun it!  

When I see God's DNA...
 I receive it!

 I go with it!   I take hold of it!

Shoes are for walking things out.  When I step out in my RED shoes, I choose what I lean into and what I don't.  I'm leaning into God!

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, 

because it is the power of God that 

brings salvation to everyone who believes:  

first to the Jew, then to the Gentile."

Romans 1:16
