On Paper

On Paper

 

I remember getting report on a patient that contained specific facts concerning the mental, physical and social components of that individual. On paper, a picture presented the formation of premature opinions, boundaries, and expectancies. Because of what is “On paper”, some of have been excluded, mistreated, misjudged and misrepresented. 

I entered his room (presence) talked to him and took time to hear his story and listened to his pain.  At that point, I realized that “On paper”, I really didn’t thoroughly know him. There was more to him that was on paper.

This made me think of the Bible. It contains 66 books of facts and data about God. It tells of His love, His thoughts and His ways. I’ve read the Word (On paper) and grew up reciting facts about God and who the Bible and men of the Bible (On paper) says who He is. But who He is -is more that what’s “On paper”. Until I got in His presence, talked to Him, listened to His voice, felt His spirit, and experienced His love for myself, I truly didn’t know Him. Read the Word “On paper” but also know Him.

Carrying a LIE

I saw a documentary of a woman who believed she was pregnant. Her belly grew to full term, and she experienced emotional, hormonal and physical symptoms of pregnancy. She believed it to the point that it manifested in the physical. She appeared pregnant but was carrying a lie. Some of us have grown full term carrying a lie. The lies of not being good enough, not loved, sick, stuck, defeated and so on… The Enemy has made us believe, carry, protect, and nurture these lies. He is a liar (John 8:44). Today, I pray termination over the lies that we carry. I pray that all negative seeds, empty sac, and after birth be aborted and healing be applied to damaged areas by the love of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. “Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].” 1 Peter 5:7 AMP #LifebySabrina

Know Who You Are!

  A children's movie from the early '90s portrayed a puppy who was separated from his family and taken in by a family of bunnies. The bunny (rabbit) family made him a part of their family. The puppy lived, played, ate like, and acted like the bunnies. He began to mimic the behavior of his new bunny family until the other animals in the forest began to call him the 'bunny-puppy'.  The puppy began to get weak and sick. The bunny family took him to the doctor and discovered that the problem was that he needed to be nourished and cared for as the puppy that he was.  You may become temporarily displaced, off track, or confused about your identity, destiny, or calling. You may have spent years functioning as someone else, something else, or somewhere else.  When you Know Who You Are, you will begin to live YOUR life. Remind yourself of who you are.   I am loved (Romans 8:38,39). God has a plan for my life (Jeremiah 29:11). I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psa...
