In Exodus 3, God Himself announced that not only had the cries of His people reached Him, but He personally had come down to deliver them. Yet, when Moses broadcast this message to those bond in Egypt in Exodus 6:7, scripture tells us that they couldn't hear nor believe him. This is the work of shame... a pervasive sense that even if you don't like where you are, you deserve to be there. Rather than embrace the deliverer in front of you, shame convinces you to accept the devils behind you.
This healing message will dismantle the work of shame in the life of God's bride, liberating us from barrenness to be a blessing.
Scriptures:
Isaiah 54:1-8; 11-17 (NKJV)
Psalm 139:5 (TPT)
Psalm 139:23-24 (TPT)
Takeaways:
1. Sin is not satisfied with shaming our past; it seeks to stain our future.
2. Shame tells us there's not only something wrong with what we've done, there's something wrong with who we are.
3. God turns barrenness into blessings.
