Since coming home from the conference called "Freedom From The Curse", at which we had an awesome time, the Lord has been provoking my heart with several thoughts.
As I was reading Chapter 3 of Genesis I came to verse 14 which I have read many many times. But this time, I saw something I'd never seen before.
Genesis 3:14- And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. KJV
As I read about the serpent eating dust all the days of his life, I realized that not only was God speaking about the dust of the ground, but also about humanity.
Genesis 2:7- And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. KJV
As I pondered this thought, I realized that especially as women, the serpent is constantly wanting to destroy or devour us.
Genesis 3:15- And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel.
How many times has the enemy come to you and bruised your heel to the point, where your spiritual walk was affected? Bruised your walk through family and friend relationships, through abuse, through finances, through broken promises, through sickness, and the list goes on. You realized that your "spiritual feet" were hurting to the point of literally not being able to walk. You might have started out with limping that was not noticeable even to you. But then it got to the point where you did notice it and so did your family and friends. Finally you couldn't walk any longer and just gave up on God and life itself. Family and friends tried to help you to a "spiritual podiatrist" for healing, but some of them were the very ones that bruised you knowingly or unknowingly.
First of all Woman of God, realize that the enemy is out to make sure that you never enter into the destiny that God has for you. He has been out to destroy you from the beginning of time and that you are a threat to him and his purposes on this earth. The Lord spoke to me about 3 months ago, through an incident that my husband and I have been walking through since October of 2009, which I will go into more tomorrow.
Read this verse and ponder it.
Genesis 3:15- And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her Offspring; He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel. Amplified Version
Papa God, please be with these women who are so bruised in their walk with you. Let them remember what you told me through a very dark time in my life.
Jeremiah 29:11- For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Amplified Version
Jesus in your precious name I speak peace to each and every troubled heart. Father still the waters that are making them feel like they are going down for the 3rd time. That there is no hope for them. That their situation is always going to be like this. Papa if you can restore me, you can restore anyone. I love you and I thank you that you hear our request and that your ever interceding for us as woman. In your awesome, awesome name. Amen
See you tomorrow and remember, their is always a rainbow after the storm. Rainbows are a symbol of promise. Go back to the promises God has made with you and remind Him of them. Besides, He loves to hear your voice!!
