Our Sovereign God

I have really dealt with a strong temptation and sin for a while now, as we all do.  It has been a hard constant pull and as much as I have felt freed from it, satan still had a pull on my heart at any moment when I was weak and he could make things very appealing. In Isaiah, he constantly talks about our sovereign Lord and mighty Lord. I just love the word sovereign! It is so powerful! There was a great song a wonderful person I know discovered this summer. It is call sovereign over us by Aaron Keyes. It is really powerful and encouraging! 

The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed. The Sovereign Lord has opened my ears; I have not been rebellious, I have not turned away. (Isaiah 50:4, 5 NIV). 

Sovereign means a supreme ruler with ultimate power. 

“Come near me and listen to this: “From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there.” And now the Sovereign Lord has sent me, endowed with his Spirit. (Isaiah 48:16 NIV). I just love the way Isaiah reveals God and speaks of Him. He truly loved God. God has so much power and has given me so much grace in my life and every time I fall and He picks me back up it is just amazing to re-fall in love with God! I just gave my heart to Him again tonight reestablishing my commitment to Him and to His righteous ways and not ways against Him. I was just crying out to God for Him to save me and forgive me! He is so full of grace! I love these verses about freedom in Christ! It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1 NIV). I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20 NIV). There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:18, 19 NIV). God is so amazing!!!! He truly does have all the power and when you can feel satan attacking you the thing that really does feel the best and change your heart is to literally cry out to God! He has changed my life and continues to with anything that hurts me! He gives us freedom and allows us to do the tough things and not be hurt anymore. He protects us. He is stronger than us, in Him we don't need to be strong He makes us strong and loves us. God is my all in all! I never want to be without Him! He has done remarkable things in my life!! Oh I just love Him! He has really freed me! Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ!
