Every young child loves play time. To go outside, slide down the slides, swing on the swing sets, play tag with friends, and pick flowers. It was a time to have fun with friends and connect a child with their parents.
I absolutely loved play time outside. It's one of my favorite memories with my old childhood friends in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, I didn't get play time with my father here on Earth. But thanks to God, He healed me of all wounds and hurts that were occurred from childhood. Now, my relationship with my dad is improving and great! God is really good at healing the brokenhearted and bounding up their wounds.
You know what? I still love play time. It's so much fun especially when it's with you and Father God. This morning during worship, me and Jesus interacted. I know, some reading this may not know you can interact with Jesus. Some believe that He is too distant, but He is closer to you than ever before. Jesus gave me a vision of me and Him playing and chasing each other. I was filled with so much joy and love. Talk about overwhelming. Then Jesus asked me a very brave thing. He asked me if it was okay if He took me to Papa God. I was apprehensive because of certain issues I had in my heart, but Jesus helped me by speaking truth and love. Then immediately Jesus took my hand and walked beside me to Father God. To my surprise God wasn't the big, mean man. He was gentle, loving, and kind. When He hugged me, I was overwhelmed at the love I felt. Father God spoke truth, love, and destiny over me. He helped me renounce lies and strongholds that I believed and held onto. Then, me and God interacted.
Some may think I am crazy for sharing something so personal and intimate, but I felt in my heart I needed to. You see, this small testimony of this beautiful interaction I had with Jesus and Father God, can encourage others who are not close to Papa God because of their hurts, wounds, and entanglements. I encourage you to ask Jesus to help you see what things in your heart are causing you to be distant from Father God. I know if God can set me free from 20 years of lies, brokenness, and heartache, then I know He can do it from you.
"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18
"I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears." Psalm 34:4
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound..." Isaiah 61:1
"And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm strengthen, and establish you." 1 Peter 5:10
I encourage each one who reads this to spend time with the Father daily and ask Him what His truth is. If that's too hard, ask Jesus to help you. Celebrate small victories of emotional healing and restoration. You can overcome the lies of the evil one when we speak truth, celebrate the victories, and encourage one another with our testimony.
"Lord, I thank you that you are a good daddy. I know your love for your children is so great; I ask that you would remove all hindrances that keep you from the hearts of your beloved. I command the lies of the enemy to cease and to go where Jesus sends them. I ask that an invitation would be given to enter into the hearts of those that need you desperately. I thank you for the victories, for the healing, and for the revelations that you will give so freely to your beloved children." Amen.
