When I am tired and weary, I find my rest in you my LORD
Unloading my stress, distress, troubles no longer stored
Washed in the blood of the Lamb, at peace with joy, blessed
Tranquil, at ease and refreshed, resting on your breast
Recovering my purpose in your love, mercy and grace
Your presence brings lightness, as I go at your pace
Ungodly expectations and measuring sticks destroyed
Transformed by true loving acceptance, I’m overjoyed
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.(Matthew 11:28 NKJV)

It’s not what you’re eating, but what’s eating at you. It’s not your weight, but what’s weighing you down. Many food disorders are not because one is hungry but because one is lonely. It’s not what is happening now but what has happened to you.
Pray this prayer today, “LORD, HEAL MY MIND FROM THE HURT OF MY PAST. GRACE ME TO LIVE IN THE NEWNESS OF LIFE WITH THE MIND OF CHRIST. Holy Spirit, help me to deal with the roots of the trees and not just the leaves. Holy Spirit, speak truth to me and I will be free.”

When you agree with what God has said, in his Word and declare it with your mouth, it is powerful. Obediently, follow his instructions. Decree his Word, with your speech, watch blessings come, and overtake you. Faith comes through hearing and hearing by the word of God. It reveals God and his one and only Son, Jesus the Anointed One by his Holy Spirit. Have faith and trust in God and your life will be transformed.
This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to recite it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do. (Joshua 1:8 HCSB)

When God delivers you from something or someone, your next requirement is to stop supporting the structure or stronghold that allowed from which you were delivered, to stay in your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal, identify, and speak Truth, to you in this area (ways you keep supporting or allowing it to remain). Then the structure or stronghold will fall and crumble completely powerless, in your life.

When the world seems out of control, along with your personal concerns, does fear grip your heart? Change your focus from the storms swirling around you and fix your gaze on the Lord. He never changes and is always there, when you rely on him and enjoy his presence.
As a believer in Jesus, his righteousness is yours. Roll all the heavy burdens onto him because he cares for you. Rest and snuggle close to the Lord and delight yourself in his love for you. He keeps you safe, as you trust him!
Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed.
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.
And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and your justice and right as [the shining sun of] the noonday.
Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass. (Psalm 37: 3-7 AMPC)

The more you embrace who you are in Me, The more you will see, perceive, and understand who you are in Me. Gravity cannot hold you down. History cannot hold you back. People, trauma, the past, and the enemy cannot stop you. They cannot stop you, because I started You. Only you can stop you. I started you, made you and ordained you that you would show forth the praises, the beauty, and the Glory of Me, in the earth.
Embrace who You are. Embrace yourself, completely. Stop apologizing, destructively criticizing, disguising, and over analyzing, who you are. Start embracing, celebrating you, discovering, and loving who you are, the way I, Father, loves you.
Embrace your Kingdom identity, your new Destiny in Me, your Divinity, and Christ in you, the Hope of Glory Embrace who you are wholeheartedly, because I embrace whom I created you to be, wholeheartedly.
Your embracing breaks the opinions, lies, and strongholds (wrong mindsets), of the past. Your embracing looses you to be, whom I ordained and anointed you. Learn to love, learn to like, learn to accept, what God loves, likes, and accepts concerning yourself.
Let the Glory do the changes. Let the glory do the changes. Let the glory do the changes and My grace will empower you to make amends and live your best life NOWWW! The past serves only as a learning tool, a reminder of My goodness, and a springboard for the success, of My Grace upon your life.
You are breaking out of the lies, deceptions, and misconceptions of the enemy, concerning yourself. Heaven’s Truth, Supernatural Revelation, and Freedom in Christ, are breaking over you. You’re going to walk in His Truth, Revelation, and Christ’s Freedom, concerning yourself.

The Lord says:
Do you have the same hunger for me as you have for food, possessions, comfort, social media, and entertainment? Do you long to eat and drink the delicacies of my spiritual food and drink, more than anything else? I desire to sup with you but you are too busy. My heart yearns for you to spend more time with me, so I can satisfy your true thirst and hunger.
Rest and worship, as did the woman, who desired my presence more than the approval of men. She broke her alabaster box and poured its costly precious perfume, on my head, as fragrant worship that remained with me, when I laid down my life for you, on the cross. (Matthew 26:6-13)
I long for worshipers that desire me more than anything else. It is time for you to cry out to me: Make me more hungry and thirsty for you, Jesus!
Oh, who will pay the price, to truly worship me, seeking me with their whole heart? Come away with me, my beloved.
“He has brought me to his banqueting place, And his banner over me is love [waving overhead to protect and comfort me]. (Song of Songs 2:4 AMP)

True worship produces TRUTH and FREEDOM. False worship holds you hostage to the PAST and BONDAGE. Therefore, true heart worshippers love the TRUTH and become free perpetually. Lip service worshippers, only perpetrate to have the TRUTH and remain in bondage.
