Each year I seek God for a new Theme to go into the year on. This year I really feel it is the year to Liberate! Liberate in 2008.
The closer I try to get to God, the more spiritual I try to become, the more I really see how much the flesh is actually in control of my life. So there are things I am seeking God for this year, victory over the flesh-in many areas-mostly my thought patterns, and of course being short tempered, impatient, etc.
I have already began seeking God and I have a new hunger and thirst to know him as never before. I am desiring to become more Christlike. More loving toward others especially those in my family.
I am asking God to produce HIS fruit in me. (Because the fruit I have been noticing lately just doesn’t seem like something I would want to eat.) So many times we just want God to zap us! "Zap me God and make me holy, make me Christlike, give me immediate patience, love, unselfishness etc." But it doesn’t happen over night. We are being conformed to his Image. As we spend more time with Him, we will become more like Him.
I am beginning a 52 week devotional as well called “Create in Me a Clean Heart” Scroll down and you can get more details on how to obtain this for yourself. I also am very excited about a book I just began called “Move Over Victoria, I Know the Real Secret.” (Freeing your mind from the lies that bind.) In this book Nancy Kennedy talks about Idols that grab for our attention. (Modern Day Idols.) Gotta love it-I got it on Paperback Swap! The introduction alone really spoke to me, and I know that I have idols myself that need to come down. Hopefully many if not all of these strongholds will be broken in my life this coming year. And I will be liberated-totally free to be ALL that God wants me to be!
