We have all read in Genesis 3 about the fall of man but I want to look closer at Genesis 3:10, "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself". We know the story but I want to go deeper then the story and talk about being naked before the Lord. To many of us are not being real about the issues we have in our lives and for this reason we are lying to ourselves and not only to ourselves but God. God knows everything about us but we still refuse to reveal ourselves to him. Until we stop trying to cover up because of fear of what man thinks we will never be able to get our deliverance from our Husband Jesus Christ.
Just think how silly it is for you to be married and each time your husband wants to get intimate with you, you are covered up. We put borders between God and ourselves and only call on him when things in our lives are not going the way we want. God is saying it is ok to show me you, I know that you are not perfect and I want to help if you allow me. Remember his love is freely given all you have to do is let go. Let him take control. Many of us are not use to just letting go and trusting and some things that we go through we need someone to allow us to cry on their shoulder. Don't let your title, position or status keep you from letting God know that you need his help. With each height comes a different test and many of us do not pass it the first time around. We still are holding on to things that we should have let go along time ago but because we are comfortable with it, because it has been apart of our lives for so long we refuse to let it go. Many of us condemn our sisters and brothers that are going through but we are so afraid of how a person is going to look down on us if they know we have a fault we don't allow God to be Lord in our life. I don't know who I'm talking to but God is saying, "Let me be the Head of your life." I have spoken to you many times and my love for you has not changed. I want to deliver you from this thing that has you bound but you are going to want to give it to me and after you have given it to me remember it no more.
Lord, I just want to be real. I want you to know me in my nakedness because if I can't be real with you then who can I be real with. God's love is pure and unwavering, his love will not hurt or harm just open yourself to trust and I promise he will not let you down. Let people take because at the end of the day, it is you who will have the victory over something that has had you bound. It is no shame in saying Lord, I love what I'm doing but I know I love you more and I want to walk right before you, please take this hinderance from me because all I want to do is be pleasing in your sight.
