So enemy...you want to know who I am.

Wow! Looking through and reading my old blog post is amazing to me right now. Just last Christmas I wrote about how I was never going to let unforgiveness be a hinderance to me, not knowing that just a few weeks past that I would be faced walking into what would be the valley of the shadow of death to me. I, at least can say I have held true to my proclamation. I have had to forgive on a daily basis and ask for forgiveness as the Lord has brought things to my heart and mind. I can look back and read, and see how seeds were being deposited in me to build me up in the truth about the love of God and how that love has delivered me and made me the JUSTIFIED and RIGHTEOUSNESS of CHRIST! I had no idea the turn my life would take, but whoever does? As I embark on my new journey, I can understand why I am being tested now. I read an enemy attacks to test who you are, what you have learned, and steal the unborn seeds in you. There is some very powerful things in me. I am only beginning to realize just how powerful they are. My time is coming closer which is why it was time for me to enter into a period of refinement. No more time to waste or play games. I was meant to be somebody and to fulfill a purpose. I knew my purpose was always to bring people to the truth of salvation, but I didn't know the details or the depth. I never knew or thought God would use me to help marriages and strengthen families, or how much it represents the very vision and image of His love and salvation, which is why the foundations of families are being attacked and destroyed at such an alarming rate, and worse as we grow closer to the coming of Christ. Its kind of scary for me to write with such powerful and definite statements, as I realize I have to live up to them and they are out there for others to hold me to. I do so with confidence because I am already living what I proclaim, even though I have not completed my journey, and the victory has not fully been manifested yet. I was handed a verse on a piece of paper that read "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them." Josh 1:6 I knew immediately in my spirit thats what all this is about. No pain is without purpose and it is time for me to step up into my place of leadership and royalty. So enemy...you want to know who I am. I am a covenant daughter of the Most High and Living God! (daughter of a blood promise that cannot and will not fail!) I am the seed of Abraham (qualified daughter of the promise) I am the radiating righteousness of Jesus! (because of the sacrifice of His blood) I am more than a Conqueror! (through Christ Jesus who strengthens me!) I am the daughter of Sarah (I will not fear or be discouraged. I am a woman of purity and reverence, with unfading inner beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, who puts her trust in God and obeys her husband with a submissive spirit.) I am captain of the Lord's inheritance! (one established to pray for and lead His people, to help store up and release the good treasures of His heart to His people through prayer.) I am the Bride of Christ! ( His companion, one that has conquered all trials and stayed on the path of belief to sit next to Him on the throne and rule into eternity.) I am a king! (one who uses the authority given to me through Christ Jesus for HIS good pleasures! And my benefits! lol ) I am a STANDER!! I will not give up or let up my faith or trust in my God and Lord Jesus. He is greater than the fear! Greater than the pain! Greater than the circumstances!! Because He is the I AM...I AM Rachael....one of the chosen.
