Good morning everyone! I’ve been reading God’s Word and I just had to share Psalm 139 with you! I am aware that it is reaching me in a deep place right now because of the conversation I am having with the Lord, but I pray that you will grab a nugget of this truth and that it will fall deep into a crag in your own heart and birth healing, deliverance, and peace.
(Remember, His Word is LIVING AND ACTIVE. So when you read it — something is moving and taking place in your life!)

Psalm 139:1-4
Oh Lord, You have searched me and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O Lord.

Ahhh, my Father, my Love! Does He sound distant to you? Do you think He never hears you or that He doesn’t care? If you believe those lies, then go back and read verses 1-4 again. God is FAMILIAR with ALL of our ways! He perceives our thoughts. He knows when we sit and when we rise.

Psalm 139:7;9-10
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? … vs. 9-10 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast.

You can’t escape His presence. No matter how far you run, He is there. Hallelujah!

Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.

Oh my friends, if you have questioned God’s love for you, read the TRUTH again. If you have any self-hatred, LAY IT DOWN in the Name of Jesus! God knit you with great care. From that moment ALL of your days were ordained and recorded.

The reason this is speaking to me so much this morning is because God has been teaching me some awesome life lessons. There are REASONS why we must obey God’s Word. I am finding out more and more that there are serious consequences to our disobedience. Ok, I know that sounds like “Duh, that is a given” but seriously, there are hidden things — attacks — that we welcome into our lives. For instance, did you know that heart attacks are sometimes (if not often) rooted in FEAR? That makes total sense to me.

I am reading through several books right now, but one is “Prayers that Rout Demons” by John Eckhardt. In his experience, he has learned that certain sicknesses and diseases have spiritual roots attached. As I sat here and looked at my family line and saw some of these issues — I can confirm that I have witnessed these sins operating in those who have been attacked around me.

Here are some examples:

Diabetes: rooted in rejection, self-hatred, inheritance, and guilt. If you deal with diabetes, this may not apply to you, but I definitely see it in a family member of mine.

Lupus: rooted in self-rejection, self-hatred, and guilt. (Again, I can see this in my family line.)

Sinus problems: ROOTED IN FEAR AND ANXIETY. I can relate to that. I didn’t have allergies until I started having panic attacks. Definitely a correlation in my life. No longer — hallelujah!

High cholesterol: rooted in anger and hostility.

High blood pressure: rooted in fear and anxiety.

Weakened immune system: rooted in a broken spirit or broken heart.

Strokes: self-rejection, self-bitterness, and self-hatred.

The list goes on and on. My purpose in sharing this is to say YET AGAIN that our sin definitely opens doors to attack in our lives. Satan doesn’t play fair, and often he will sneak in through the sins of our parents or through our wounds.

Numbers 14:18
The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; He punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.

The past couple of months have provided a great lesson for me. My body had started manifesting a very HIDDEN stress in my life. I was starting to entertain a lie of the enemy though I never even confessed it with my mouth. It was only through prayer that God gave a friend of mine the KEY. She immediately heard the lie I was receiving and when she spoke it I knew it was the culprit. I immediately repented and the symptom lifted. Talk about sneaky. The enemy is crafty — he has had a lot of practice, BUT GOD IS GREATER! He revealed the lie of the enemy and set me free.

Do you feel rejected? Do you hate yourself? Do you carry anxiety and fear in your heart? God knows you. He loves you. He formed you and recorded all of your days. He has a plan for you. Satan hates you and seeks to kill, steal, and destroy you. Don’t give into satan’s plans. Repent of fear, anxiety, self-hatred, rejection, bitterness, unforgiveness, etc. There is no place in our hearts for any sin.

If you have any questions or if I can help you in any way, please let me know. I don’t have all of the answers, but I know the One who does.

Psalm 139:23-24
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
