In this season where people get dressed up with costumes to become someone else. Most of the time it's reflective of the person they truly desire to be, but cannot or chose not to because of what others may think.
As a christian we come to GOD with all our flaws HE knew us from the time we were in our mother's womb. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." (Psalm 139:13-14) So when we start to fellowship and become part of the body of Christ by joining women's group and participating in church activities we put on our masks because we do not want people to see who we were or are. You see GOD washes away some of the things that we were, but sometimes HE leaves certain things for you to get rid of and work on according to HIS Word. We forget no matter what we are a child of the Most High GOD...HE is our Abba Father "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure."
(1 John 3:1-3)
The scripture above states that the Father has great love the HE has lavished on US. Not the rich, the poor, or the ones with black hair HE lavishes it on US that means you and I, so that we can be called "children of GOD" How great is that! So with being the child of GOD our Abba Father means that we get perks...I like getting things for free don't you? I don't know anyone who turns down FREE. You are asking yourself how can we get something for free from such a great and powerful GOD even Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz had to work for her passage to get home to Kansas, but we don't because GOD gave HIS only begotten Son, so that we can be redeemed and free from the laws that were keeping us from HIS glory. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
So now you want to know what are the things we get for free from GOD besides Life in Jesus Christ. Well for one thing GOD gives us many promises He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. (Galatians 3:14) and HE is faithful to every word according to HIS will for our lives. How do I know because GOD is not a man that HE shall lie "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?(Numbers 23:19)
We are free from sin and free from any condemnation. When you hear that voice reminding you of all the things you have done in the past or what you just did 10 minutes ago just go to the Father in prayer and ask for forgiveness or correction and just like that you continue in GOD's graces without ritual or additional sacrifices. To GOD you are holy HE does not see you as you see yourself HE see's you pure without flaw. "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death." ( Romans 8:1-2)
You are more than a conqueror through Christ who strengthens you because GOD has stated that in HIS Word for you. "...in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." (Romans 8:36) GOD has given you all power and authority to overcome the enemies tactics, so we need to use all the tools HE has given us because our Father says we can. Get rid of shame, guilt, and all condemnation and take off the mask that the enemy has you wearing making you believe that you are not worthy of all GOD has for you. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.( Luke 10:19)
