doing? Am I making resolutions? Perhaps. What I can tell you for sure is that my mind is renewed and I'm resolved in my spirit to BE. Be? You may be asking, "What does she mean by "be?" I'm glad you asked. Be simply means to BE. I can remember the day so vividly in my quiet time with the LORD. I was struggling with so much. Trying to do this, trying to be the best wife, mom, business owner, church goer, intercessor, daughter, friend, sister, etc...until I was depleted. As I studied the word of God , I found some relief but the day deliverance came was the day I heard the Holy Spirit speak the word, "BE" to me. He said, " I didn't create you try I created you to "BE". Spirit, the true essence of who we are, doesn't have to "try", spirit simply "be". God led me to look up the deinition of try. Try means struggle,attempt, battle, fight, etc. I heard Him again say, "I didn't create you to try I created you to BE." In that moment all struggling ceased! I didn't have to try to "be the best wife,mom, daughter, etc...I just needed to "BE"...to BE ME...and in being me, the spirit me, I'd become the best wife, mom, friend, daughter, etc. We struggle with so many self imposed limitations. We're suffocating under the confines of our own religious rules, regulations and traditions. We're not living in the boundaries of freedom, liberty, that Christ has bestowed upon us. We're still living as slaves in the spirit, when Christ came, died for us, and reconciled us back to the Father, as sons. There is a resolve in my spirit to know my God more intimately. I'm resolute in knowing Jesus as more than just my Savior but as LORD. I'm determined to know who I am, my God given identity, the true essence of who I am, spirit. I'm renewed in my mind to embrace the fullness of God, to receive this new year with great expectation and to release in the earth realm the fullness of who I am, A New Me, true identity, the essence of who I am,spirit.This year, I resolve to "BE".
