Your job is to pull up and tear down, take apart and demolish, and then start over, building and planting. Jeremiah 1:10 MSG

Unfortunately, through the hardship and persecution and tribulation of life, certain weeds and tares can actually get planted in the heart that touches everything you do and can negatively affect every aspect of your life, even what you’re called to do in the Kingdom.

One of my main issues was abandonment. This was a weed that had a huge stronghold in my life. I had watched as nearly everyone in my life walked away when my sin was exposed to the world and my soul suffered beyond measure.

I needed to know that God has always loved me, would never leave or forsake me, and that He was not going to reject me because of my failures. When I finally rooted out the lies that I had told myself and had heard through the mouths of so many others, and then planted the Word in my suffering soul, I was able to go forward with the vision God had planted in my heart very early in life. Unfortunately, the weed seeds which had taken root and grown into major tares, were not easy to pull up.

You see, I knew God loved me. Don’t I tell you every day that God loves you, He really does? And yet somehow I had a hard time taking it for myself because I thought I was so bad! After all, people kept reminding me that I made a mistake like 30 or 40 years ago. They kept reminding me that I did something wrong! And that accusing spirit which the Bible calls the “accuser of the Brethren,” tormented me until I rooted it out and pulled it up and replaced it with the Word.

It’s time to remove the emotional roots of all the weeds that have been planted in our souls and pull them out! It’s time to move forward into the purposes for which you were born – those that you know that you know that you know you were called to. It’s time to silence those voices of condemnation and rebuild the strength of your call.

So many people simply cannot receive God’s forgiveness because they feel in their mind that their sin is so great that they do not deserve to be forgiven. But remember, that’s what Christ died for! He died for those sins and His Blood covers them… all! He doesn’t even remember it!

I had a revelation that God loves me unconditionally and I know that I know that I know that I’m going to Heaven no matter what my failure. The enemy can’t take that from me, no matter how hard he may try.

He can’t take it from you either. Some of you have sinned but nobody knows it. My sin happened to be thrown out to the whole world to find out about, but I guess that’s why I can talk about the depth of God’s love so sincerely. I have nothing to lose, I’ve lost it all already – but God gave it back!

God delights in restoration. He will restore you no matter what you’ve done because there is no limit to the cleansing power of the Blood of Jesus.

It’s time to pluck up those soul-murdering weeds that have taken root. You can do it and He will help you! God has need of you, and He is calling you back into position in the Army of God!

Love,
