GROUND ZERO
A moment in time when God took His hand of protection off a nation and the hand of enemy tried to thwart the way of life and freedom. He tried to make us fear and since that time we have truly loss our innocence and some must learn to trust their Father again. The Lord sometimes allows tragedy in our lives. At the time it is devastating but in time the healing of a nation began. Ever slowly through the words of one and another testimonies of the goodness of God came through to touch our hearts and lives and God was and is there to bring restoration to the broken pieces.
Shattered dreams have come to many of us through the years when what we hoped and dreamed for did not come to pass. The key is to not let our vision die but to keep our hope in the Lord. What is it that the Lord has spoken to you that did not come to pass? Perhaps it was a prophetic word that you ran with at the beginning only to see it fade into insignificance and be filed in the deep recess of your mind, ever hoping that one day it would come to pass. Yet since that time so many things have crowded in and life has happened. Things have tumbled in to discourage you from ever believing again on that word you received many years ago.
You need to go back to that place in time that you received that word and remember that it was indeed God that spoke to you. He gave you that Word that so filled your heart with joy and anticipation. It was God that was there that day and God that is with you today. You will need to clear your mind from all that has cluttered and crowded in and remember that God still speaks.
It is time to come to the place of realizing that Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever. No matter what has happened to come between you and God, He has not changed. Neither life nor death nor any other thing will keep you from the love of God. Know today that God loves YOU. Indeed you are special to Him. Come to Him today, and know that He is good and so willing and wanting the very best for you. Nothing can separate you from the love of God. Absolutely nothing as long as you are willing to once again let Him work in your heart and life. Let Him erase the memories of your ground zero and bring healing to your heart of life. He will remove the hurt, pain and disappointment that you have received into your heart. Be willing to forgive those that have hurt you and caused you this deep pain. Jesus the same, yesterday, today and the day of your ground zero, will come in and restore you. He will restore you and bring to pass the precious things He has spoken to you if you will but trust Him again.
Let Him take you and love you. Let Him wash you off and make you clean. He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness and set your feet on the rock again. If you are the prodigal son or daughter that is returning home, He will put a robe of righteousness on you when you accept what His shed blood has done for you and clean you and help you in your walk. Perhaps you are in the church and have felt you have blown it too much to come back and that no one will accept you. This is the lie the enemy wants you to believe. There is nothing too great for the Lord to forgive if you come to Him. Talk to Him, pour out your heart to Him and let Him clean you and know that His love is not too small and that it will cover your sin. Come to Jesus today, whoever you are, just as you are and let the Father restore all that the enemy has eaten. Your ground zero has ended this day and you are firmly being placed in the light of the Fathers love. Will you accept it today?
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:35-39
