We stutter and we stammer till You save us
A symphony of chaos till You play us
Phrases on the pages of unknown
‘Til You read us into poetry and prose
We are kept and we are captive till You free us
Vaguely unimagined ‘til You dream us
Aimlessly unguided ‘til You lead us home

By Your voice we speak
By Your strength no longer weak
We are no longer weak
And by Your  wounds we are healed
And by Your  wounds we are healed 

Passed over and passed by until you claim us
Orphaned and abandoned ‘til you name us
Hidden and disclosed ‘til you expose your  hearts

By your death we live
It is by your gift that we might give
That we might give
And by your wounds we are healed
And by your wounds we are healed 

What kind of love would take your
shame and spill his blood for you
Save us by His wounds
By your wounds, we are healed
By your wounds, we are healed
What kind of love
By your wounds, we are healed
Tell me what kind of love is this
By your wounds, we are healed.

Throughout my short 19 years I have seen and met so many people who are bound my shame an guilt.I see how in every area of their life they are somehow bound by these things. I used to have so much shame and guilt and so I'm not just writing and assuming what the person may feel. But I am speaking from a point of someone who was completely bound in this. For me, it started with something so tiny but the devil likes to play on that and everyday we allow him to make it a little bigger in our minds, fear takes over because you know everyone is going to walk away from us when they find out then guilt starts to take over....we knew it was wrong but didn't turn around. That is when the shame kicks in. You wanna hide yourself so sometimes you have to put up a front because no one can even suspect anything is wrong because then you would have to "come clean" isn't it crazy how we so quickly accept lies from the enemy and believe them about our self and even others but when God speaks things about us and to us we cant believe them.

We will spend years in bondage and bound by crippling fear because what the enemy has spoken to us but God is the author of our lives (“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”- Hebrews 12:2) He is always speaking into our lives but we find it so hard to believe what he says about us?? Crazy huh???

This new season that we are entering is a time for God to completely turn Things around. We will be going one way and we will completely turn around to Pick up promises that seemed frozen in mid air. We will turn around and they will Melt and begin to come into fruition. “I am the God of the Turn Around.” The enemy has driven you into his entanglement, but I will turn his plan around on his own head. It will look like you were on the losing side but all of a sudden I will turn it around. Just when you thought the battle was lost, you will look to the hills from where your help come from and you will see that there are more with you than are against you. All of a sudden your enemy will not be found. You will see your God turn it all around. Your enemy will run from you because God will put fear and dread upon him through you.

It doesn't matter what you have done or haven't done. The shame and the guilt has already been paid for!!! It only takes a blink of an eye and God takes the guilt and the shame, I know because it happened to me. I was getting so tired of everyone telling me to let it go and give it to God. Of course I knew that I had to do that but what I needed to know is HOW!!! How do I just let it go and not pick it back up??? When you let go of something physically you have to release it from your hands. You physically have to open your hands and let go of your grip!!! That's true surrendering. That's where healing comes and restoration comes. You have empty places when the shame and guilt leave so that's where God fills it up with his love and mercy and Grace!!!! When you draw near to God and get at his feet, meet with him face to face the shame, guilt and pain have to Go!!!! Draw near to God and allow him to speak over you!!!

"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28)

"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16)
