Rise up and walk!

I love when God reminds us of something He told us in the past to help us in the now. I was having one of those days that I was allowing the past to come back up and hurt me, it made me feel like I was lacking, not good enough and simply broken. These thoughts brought me back to a hurt place that I was in the beginning of the summer, and I am not a fan of backsliding so praise God for Him pulling me back up! At one point in my day as I hung my head God simply said in my spirit "Rise up and walk daughter!" :) This is cool because in the beginning of the summer as I was going through a hurtful time I remember God tugging on my heart and saying "It doesn't matter if you missed it or if they missed it. You are not missing it now because you're walking in step with Me and I never miss it! I have you in the right place at the right time and you are going to get the right result! You are moving forward and it's your turn, it's your turn, it's your turn! To rise up and walk in what I have for you!" God was showing me that I couldn't walk in what He had for me if my face was to the floor in despair. And He reminded me of that again today- it doesn't matter what the circumstance looks like in the natural, God already promised the future to be good, He promised to never leave us and to never fail us. If we trust Him, there's no way we can lose! So let's stand up, so that we can walk in what our loving Father has set before us! He promised it to be good! Don't get tripped up in the traps that the enemy tries to put before you. My spiritual mentor reminded me today that satan may prowl around like a lion seeking whom he may devour but we cannot forget that Jesus already took his teeth and claws away! What kind of harm is a lion with no teeth and claws? It's roar may be frightening, it's size intimidating, it may even knock you down, but with no weapons it can't keep you there! The emotional hurt I was feeling today and the eye doctor report I received last week were just a loud roar from the enemy, haha but he can't hurt me! he is just trying to distract me to take my eyes off my King, and clothe me with fear, but no! he can't do what we won't allow him to do! God gave us victory over that sucker! So like my mentor said to me today "stand up and brush that junk off your back and get your eyes back on Jesus!" Rise up and walk!
