Released through Theresa Harvard Johnson
December 27, 2017
Beloved, it is over. I am calling you to move past the mistakes that you have made and into that forgiven place. I heard your cry of regret and sorrow surrounding the situation that spun out of control – be it in your personal life, close relationships or ministry. You have repented, and turned back to me…. and I have freely forgiven and received you, though men may not.
Today, I am calling you to move forward. I am calling you to raise your head high and declare that you are triumphant and free. I am calling you to rise above those who are continuously seeking your punishment or holding the hand of justice over your head.
The consequences are real. Yet, I have made a way of escape through the sacrifice of my son. Do not forget this – regardless of what men have placed before you.
Today, I am calling you out of condemnation and bringing you into a place of resolve, resolution. Will you receive it? Will you believe that you have been made free?
As you walk in obedience to me and move toward restitution in the areas I have shown you, know that those ancient cities will be rebuilt. Know that the stigma and the shame will turn into empowerment and courage. Know that all that has been lost – financially and relationally – has the potential to be recovered. That recovery may be in a different place and with different people, but it is recovery just the same. This is NOT the end for you. This IS your new beginning. There is such grace extended to you in this very moment. Walk out of Lodabar NOW into the courts of your King!
Luke 15:11-32, Isaiah 43:18-20
