Freedom in Christ: Getting Started

Getting Started

To live is Christ......I want to live. Not just a meager existance but I want to live the life that God called me to live. I don't want to walk around overweight, sick, self-conteous, and afraid. I have struggled with food addiction my whole life. I have used food to numb myself from the pain of my life. I am making a decision to turn things around for myself. It is time I become free in Christ. I have been on this journey for some time now. I felt it was time to start documenting this journey as well as encourage others.

I am just getting started so I am not sure what I will be doing I am still praying about everything and deciding what I will be doing. From all the years of this struggle I have so many things in my head as to what to do about my issues. My heart really wants to do what God wants me to do. I believe I know but I will save that information for another time.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NKJV) - 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Be blessed in the Lord!

He's Not Here

Rebecca St. James - He's Not Here Lyrics

JANITOR: Why are you crying, daughter? Why have you come? No need to be afraid now - no need to run

Why do you seek the living among the dead
The One you seek is risen - just like He said
Go and tell the others your Hero is alive
He's not here

MAGGIE: Friends, I've just seen a wonder with my own eyesOur Hero's tomb is empty - I've been insideI talked to God's own Angel - He had good news
He said, "The Lord is risen and comes to you"Come and see the grave yourself
And let your hearts sing out
He's not here
He's not here
He's not here

Exodus 25:22 a - I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the "mercy seat".......

Mercy seat

In the darkness
Where everything is unknown
I face the power of sin on my own
I did not know of a place I could go
Where I could find a way to
Heal my wounded soul.

He said that I could come into
His presence without fear
Into the holy place where
His mercy hovers near
I'm runnin' I'm runnin'I'm runnin' to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin' he said
His grace would cover me
His blood will flow freely
It will provide the healin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
I'm runnin; to the mercy seat.

Are you livin' where hope has not been?
You're lost in the curse of a
Lifetime of sin
Lovely illusions they never
Come true I know where there's a place
Of mercy for you
He said that you could come into his
Presence without fear
Into this holy place
Where his mercy hovers near.

Come runnin' come runnin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin' he said his
Grace would cover you.

His blood
Will flow freely it will provide the healin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
I'm runnin' to the mercy seat
He said that you could come into his presence
Without fear into the holy place
Where his mercy hovers near

Voice of the Savior - By Mandisa

Some people try to listen, to the bottom of a bottle
Some people try to listen, to a needle in their arm
Some people try to listen, to the money in their pocket
Some people try to listen, to another’s arms

{Chorus}

You and I are not that different
We got a void and we’re just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We’d give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior

Some people try to find it with blind ambition
Some people try to find it where no one else has gone
Some people try to find it in the crowns of victory
Some people get defeated and lose the strength to carry on

{Chorus}

Some people try to find it in the shadow of a steeple
Some people try to find it in the back row pew
Some people try to find it in the arms of Jesus That’s where I found it, how about you?

{Chorus}
