Living in Power

This is chapter 8, Romans, “Living by the power of the Holy Spirit”:

So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life union with Jesus the anointed one. For the law of the life-giving spirit, flowing through the anointing of Jesus, has liberated us from the law of sin and death. For God achieved what the law wasn't able to accomplish because the law was limited by the weakness of human flesh. (The Passion Translation)

And the Lord would say, "You feel very human. You feel that you have so many limitations that you are becoming bound by how you define yourself," says the Lord. But the Lord says, "I do not see you as you see yourself. I do not look at you as a weak person, incapable to stand against the storms of life," says the Lord.

"But I look at you as My beloved child. When I look at you, my heart leaps! I am joyful; you make Me happy just to look at you," says the Lord.

So do not listen to the accusing voices—those that would say you have just messed up or maybe there are things that you meant to do, but you didn't do. For the Lord says, "This is the season of rewind. This is the season where I'm allowing you to go back to a place where you felt that you totally destroyed your life, or times and seasons where others brought destruction into your life, and I will restore. I am able to do this miraculously," says the Lord.

"If you believe in Me, if you trust in Me—just as the little child, when the father says ‘Jump!,’ the little child would freely jump from a high place into the arms of the father, and the father would say, ‘I would catch you.’ Do you believe I will catch you? Do you believe that no matter what your circumstances, whatever is happening to you, that I have the ability to catch you, to hold you and to keep you safe? For I will do this," says the Lord.

And the Lord says, "This season of rewind will bring you to a place where you will not be lower than you were, but you'll find yourself coming to a large place. You will find yourself coming to still waters and green pastures, for this is My nature as a father," says the Lord.
