I remember when the Lord was teaching me about himself, and about myself, that he let me see how much I had learned of his ways. This was an honor, but I know that there is much more to learn of his ways, so that I have not yet arrived to where he wants me to be.
But I remember it well, because my dad has been sick for some time. But I was at a point in my love for Jesus where I prayed this prayer without fear, ''Lord take my dad's sickness and put it on me, but heal my dad.''
I was even ready to die, because my own life meant nothing to me as much as the life of another did. If this was not a change in me....
I became less selfish also, and more clean. I say more clean, because I was filthy. I mean, I did the worst of the worst, with the best of the best.
But when I turned away from sin, such a humongous burden just was lifted. I could feel peace. And then, as I began to destroy these strongholds, I truly felt clean. But these were things on the outside, and the Lord would show me what was on the inside. These are the things that need to be dealt with.
These are the things, that if they are not cast out, they will enslave me again. I wonder how that when devils were cast out, they went about and later tried to enter again.
If the blood of Jesus does not protect me, then they can enter again at will. If the Lord does not keep me, they can enter. If I leave him, I am subjected again to this.
May the Lord cleanse me of all iniquity.
AMEN!
