Run Forest Run!

Run Forest Run! Famous words from a very famous movie. Probably more familiar to this generation than Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us," In many ways we as Christians are like the crippled little Forest in the movie. WE can run like the wind! But we just don't know it yet. WE can outrun the enemy! But we just don't know it yet. WE can break off the leg casts and irons that hold us back and run with abandon into our destiny! This is my exhortation to you today. This is my exhortation to me today. Run Susan Run! Run like the wind! The Bible teaches that we should encourage ourselves in the Lord. This is my encouragement to you. Permission granted to drop EVERY weight and sin that so easily ensnares us and go for it! And when you do start to run that great cloud of witnesses will be cheering you on in heaven and I will be cheering you on right here!

Viking Warriors and Braveheart

One day I asked the Lord what I looked like in the spirit. Because you know we live in this body but we are soul and spirit forever. Anyway, I said Lord what do I look like in the spirit? And I saw this picture of this scene of one of my favorite movies "Braveheart". And on the front line getting ready to charge into the fiercest battle was this woman who stood there side by side with the men with her sword drawn and her eyes intent on victory. Her helmet was all battered and her shield had seen quite a few blows from the enemy. Her hair was a mess and her face was all dirty. She was bruised and yet resilient. She was not stopped. She was not afraid. She was intent and intensely prepared for the battle. She did not flinch or flee in the face of the enemy. And when the time came and the order was given she charged forth into the battle. Now some women might feel bad to think that in the spirit this is what they looked like. I am sure some women who ask that question would see a picture of a golden haired princess with shining robes and a halo or something. But I just saw the image of the Scottish warrior and it made me smile and cry- which I am sure Scottish warrior women did not do very often- but it was because I knew that the Lord saw me the way I really am. Ready to do His will, no matter the cost, and no matter the price. So why don't you stop for a moment right now and ask the Lord how He sees you in the spirit. What do you look like? I know He will show you.
Until next time,
