Giving Voice

I have been pressing into the study of what it really means to be created in the image of God. To be walking here on the earth as His image.

I have been thinking about satan and his demons and their hatred for God as they opposed Him and were cast down to this earth. Here I am, in the image of God, and I know the principalities of this world seek to kill, steal and destroy every creation that is God's image, you and me, - who have been purposed and planned by Him.

I'm thinking about being a reflection of His image, and how because Jesus suffered here on this earth to restore humanity after the Fall. As His image, we learn of sufferings and we suffer - yet we know we have the ultimate in freedom.

It is no wonder the one who walks about seeking whom he may devour, is diligently looking to silence humanity through the atrocities of war, famine, horrendous terrorism, sexual abuse and trafficking, child pornography, weather events that destroy... satan wants to silence those who have been created in His image - and destroy His image in us so we do NOT reflect it to others.

Go ye therefore into all the world!!!

Yes, because I am in His image, I have His Light in me - I walk in His power. I walk in His given authority to me. As a result, I am in position to minister, to give voice back to those who have been captured to bondage - to give freedom.

Help me to trust in you Lord as you do your best work in taking the darkness of silence and speaking LIGHT into those places. And, as You use me, help me not be afraid to get out of my own comfort zone and move into the unfamiliar. I know YOU are with me. I know YOUR Holy Spirit is guiding me. I KNOW your Son has given me access through the blood to every created tool of your kingdom as Your image - to be, to do, to serve, to reflect and to minister from that position. Where ever I have been afraid to surrender and commit it all to You - forgive me - and set me courageously on the path with your Light. Light that YOU have already spoken into my life.

You are the Alpha and Omega - and I rest that you will finish every good work (and God given image, purpose and plan) in me!
