Gen 3:8 – And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

–

Adam and Eve hid from God when the shame of their choices opposed what He had said. Today that is true for many of you. The devil has caused shame to become a tool to now hide you. He has been quite effective in the body of Christ when it comes to the struggles with shame.

 

Many of you have been hiding unconsciously because of the pain that others have inflicted on you. It chased you into dark caves, where you swore to remain.

 

Some of you hide because of the thought of “What if they see the real me?” So you make sure no one ever does. It appears safer, but it is not.

 

Satan works well in that which is hidden.

 

Often, we even create religious cover-ups to make people agree with our need to hide. We call it meekness. We call it waiting. We call it letting others shine. We even call it a word from God.

 

It’s time to come out of hiding, Saints, in Jesus’s name.

 

Take the shame and pain by the hand and demand it to now be a tool for Kingdom use. Make that devil shudder at your mindset turnaround.

 

No longer shrink back because of what others declared over your life. The blood of Jesus speaks a better word over you, today.

 

Pray this out loud and take back your land. It makes no difference whether shame was self-inflicted or sent by others. Both fall right now in Jesus name.

Goodbye Shame

 

So long, my friend, you’ve stayed too long

Today I rise to Kingdom call.

You had me caught, but now I’m loose

“Shame be gone,” I destroy your noose.

 

You now shall bow at my command

For I do walk with anointed hands.

And if you show your face again

I’ll use you more to fish for men.
