This is fiction with some true realities:
Misty traveled down the dusty road from the tombs. She was dry and thirsty as she dragged her chains behind her. Misty was possessed. Yes, she WAS possessed by evil. Horrific thoughts engulfed her, and robbed her of rest. She sought here and there until one joyous day she found the CENTER. It is from that place that Misty began her journey to abide securely in CHRIST. She pressed toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of GOD in CHRIST JESUS. Now she gleefully shouts -
I AM POSSESSED
I am possessed by the best - our Lord CHRIST, who consumes me.
North, south, east and west - everywhere I go JESUS surrounds me.
I am the beneficiary of a fail-proof plan produced by the MASTER MAN. He is my super hero - no tights for Him. His garment is a robe - a robe of righteousness, and Oh! He wears it so well.
I don't need a fall-out shelter. Where I fall is into His everlasting arms, and JESUS holds me in His warm secure embrace. He loves me and I love Him. There is freedom in His presence when we are surrendered to Him. Such freedom is not available in any other space.
The gospel ain't no gamble, people. It is a sure thing.
Words to Satan:
You can possess me no more because now I am forever possessed by the best.
Scriptures from the King James Bible:
Philippians 3:14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Proverbs 8:22
The Lord possessed me...
Prayer:
Lord, though this is written in the form of a story, it is truth that there are many people who are indeed possessed by evil. Please, loving Father, rescue them from all that holds them captive. Possess them with Your righteousness. Deliver them, Lord, from the lies that they believe and prove to them that You love them just as they are. Go and get Your people from dark places and bring them into the fullness of Your glorious light.
There is nothing too hard for you, Lord.
I believe that You will free more people in loving powerful ways. Please, Lord, use us Your people as vessels to plant and to water so that You can graciously give increases that will set captives free.
Thank you, Lord - Amen

SHE WAS POSSESSED
ReplyDeleteThat prayer at the bottom of your post is so very beautiful. It really speaks to my heart and I believe we can all pray like that for ourselves as well...there are so many times that even as a believer, I give in do dark thoughts and places and need very much to be set free of the lies that I believe about myself at times.
ReplyDeleteI will copy that prayer out and pray it.
Thank for sharing it.
Beautifully expressed. Thank you!

Yes, we all need prayer for much, including our "seasons" when we grow weary. Thank GOD that He gives power to the faint, and strength to the weary. Only GOD can fully meet our every need. Praise to His holy gracious name!
You are certainly welcome, Colleen. I was glad to share.

Yes Sandra this is an awesome prayer! Yes Jesus will set the captives free, restore sight to those who have been blinded by untruths, heal the brokenhearted through our prayers and unconditional love.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Sandra. My heart just bleeds for all the prisoners - the ones lost in lies and deception. I also pray for their deliverance - and that the Lord might use me to help in His Master Rescue Plan!
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS!
