Messed up Again

One more time around the mountain. I cannot do whatever I want, or say whatever I feel like saying. Only what He tells me to do or say. When He tells me. How He tells me. TD, you are a dead woman. You have died to self. Quit attempting to resurrect this flesh. The flesh (mind, will and emotions) profits nothing. Agreeing with the enemy has no place in my walk.

I stand before Him. Looking down at my feet. So ashamed. I offer the Blood of Jesus as my pass into the throne-room.  That Blood which has been sprinkled on the Mercy Seat. The Seat of Propitiation. The place where the great exchange took place- His death for my life. The New Covenant ratified in Holy Blood.

The verdict is given. Not guilty. I thank you and I praise You, Lord Jesus! My great High Priest.

Please give me the grace to handle this trial better if it comes up again. In myself, of myself, I can do nothing.

And if I fall seven times, I will arise.
