Freedom

I just read my friend Jessica's post about freedom...freedom from sin and living a life that is more Christ-like. True freedom is "Discovering one’s identity and purpose in Jesus and tearing down every stronghold that opposes walking in the fullness of that identity and purpose."

Her entire blog inspired me, ministered to me and convicted me (in a good way, or course!) I realized how content and complacent I have been in my walk with God, in confessing my sins and strongholds, and with my life in general. I know that I have areas in my life that I wish were different, but what I am doing to change things? I am taking it to God or am I sitting still, doing nothing? I will confess that most of the time I am not being active...I do pray and take my stand against the enemy and take back some of the territory I have given over to him, but there is way more battle I need to be fighting.

I do not want to allow another day to go by and not take action against my sin or be complacent in my intimacy with God. He is way to important to put off...I long to be SO hungry and thirsty for Him that N O T H I N G else will satisfy. I long to be even more free than I already am.

Lord, I need you to fill me up with You. Will you please give me a hunger, thirst and desire for more of You? I cannot do it on my own, I need you! Thank you for your forgiveness, mercy and grace. Amen!
