Walking in The Fear of THE LORD brings forth empowerment!
Does your mind constantly tell you that you are a victim based on the past? Or, does it tell you constantly that you are still guilty because of past lawlessness?
These two mindsets prevent you from moving forward as a true overcomer. The carnal mind will attempt to prevent you from ascending to a higher Spiritual state where you will be led by THE SPIRIT. Until you overcome the victim/guilt of the past, you will have difficulty in operating in Agape Love, hope, and faith. Your hope is where positive imagination resides which is the basis of faith.
Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 13:
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
What defers our hope? It is retaining and focusing on the past which restricts our expectations of the future.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 7:
25 I give all my thanks to God, for His Mighty Power has finally provided a way out through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! So if left to myself, the flesh is aligned with the law of sin, but now my renewed mind is fixed on and submitted to God’s Righteous principles.
8:1 So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.
2 For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.
We must choose to accept no accusing voice, whether internal or external!
Paul wrote By The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:
17 So with the Wisdom given to me from the Lord I say: You should not live like the unbelievers around you who walk in their empty delusions.
18 Their corrupted logic has been clouded because their hearts are so far from God—their blinded understanding and deep-seated moral darkness keeps them from the true knowledge of God.
We are now seeing many who are walking out their lives in the fullness of unbelief in ever-increasing numbers.
19 Because of spiritual apathy, they surrender their lives to lewdness, impurity, and sexual obsession.
20 But this is not the way of Life that Christ has unfolded within you.
21 If you have really experienced the Anointed One, and heard His Truth, It will be seen in your life; for we know that the ultimate reality is embodied in Jesus!
22 And He has taught you to let go of the lifestyle of the ancient man, the old self-life, which was corrupted by sinful and deceitful desires that spring from delusions. 23 Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you. 24 And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with Him! For God has re-created you all over again in His perfect righteousness, and you now belong to Him in the realm of true Holiness.
As we walk in Agape Love, we will also walk in Holiness. This will allow us to go through the door into the Presence of GOD. No one can enter into HIS Presence in an unholy state.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the Door of the sheep.
8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have Life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
In other Words:
A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!
