SHAME AND THOUGHT LIFE  11/15/11

 

DREAM:  I saw that one of God's sons had to get down on his hands and knees to push a lever under his bed, every time he had to flush the toilet and it cost him a dollar every time he wanted to flush the toilet.  No one else at Christian camp had rooms like that.  When I asked him about this, the fact he was having to pay for flushing cost him rewards and perks that others were getting at camp.  I had a mother's heart for him and felt this was very unjust and it made me very sad that he had been so quiet about it and did not let me know how unfair he was being treated.  He was carrying his sufferings on the inside of him and had no one to confess and unveil his heart to. 

 

HEARD:  Humility.

 

THE VEIL OF GUILT FROM OUR THOUGHT LIFE

Sometimes a person's thoughts are bombarded by the enemy and it can make someone feel guilty wondering if they are coming out of their own heart.  Demons not only slime people with bad thoughts but also cause accompanying emotions and if a person doesnt understand the source, they take ownership and feel guilty.  Guilt and shame creates a veil over one's heart that separates one from the Lord where they can not see, hear, feel and experience the Lord in ways they are desiring. 

 

If a person has a hard time getting in touch with ones inner self, then there may be a hard time recognizing guilt, shame or a veil with the Lord. The way to recognize a veil is when a bad thought comes, it is not immediately taken to the Lord and instead it makes you want to run away and avoid the issue. 

 

Demonic thoughts are like monkeys eating bananas on our backs.  Dont slip on their attempts to make you trip.  Simply bend low and let the banana peels fall into the trash and shake the monkey off the back.  The way to overcome demonic thoughts is do not believe they come from your own heart.  Instead bind them and command them to leave in Jesus name.  And lastly take the thoughts directly to the Lord and acknowledge to Him that He heard the thought and ask Him for help to overcome them. 

 

Darkness likes to hide behind veils which is the opposite of transparency.  It is grieving the Lord that His sons think they have no one to confess these things to, so they are hiding and stuffing them and this is bringing barriers in their hearts towards Him. And according to 2 Cor 3:16-18, when we transparently turn to the Lord, the veils on our hearts are taken away and it is only when we are unveiled can we be changed and experience His glorious liberty.    

 

2 Cor 3:16-18 NKJV

Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

 

When Joshua was covered in the demonic slime of filthy garments, he was stripped before the Angel of the Lord, not before mankind.  In Papa's infinite love, He covers the shame of our nakedness when we remove our veils before Him.  On our behalf, He rebukes the enemy, washes us, clothes us with rich robes and gives us a new charge with great authority.  What a remarkable privilege to be called His own.
