I Have Removed All Reproach

Word of the Day
Beloved, as I remove each filament of your cocoon I eradicate the reproach of men and circumstances from the deep places of your heart. Like Eve I have taken away your reproach (Genesis 30:32). This was done at the Cross but now must be walked out in the natural everyday things of your life. The things you thought and used as excuses, allowing them to bind you in a cocoon of sleep, I have removed. I need you to agree with Me on this and see them melt like wax in a flame. The enemy wishes for you to concentrate on them to the point you give them power over you.
Beloved, close your eyes and see Me. See Me pulling away layer after layer. See Me near you right now for I am removing the reproach of men. I am granting you favor with Myself and man (Luke 2:52; Isaiah 54:4). What I am doing now, you or no one can argue with. I remove and break away all words and judgments of men and even family. In the process, I bring a work of humbleness to their lives, thereby freeing them at the same time. What is done for you ultimately becomes their freedom. You will comfort in which you have been comforted (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
I have taken the crooked staff the enemy used to reach out and wrap around your neck, pulling you back into the places of darkness, and turned it into a sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12) As you remain faithful to Me, I deny him any power over you. My grace is sufficient, and My love gives lift to your graceful, yet powerful, wings, enabling you to soar above all that was.
I restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). The time of recompense has come for I have been jealous for you, My beloved. I have been jealous and longed to see the beautifully intricate butterfly you are to soar above every circumstance. I have longed for others to have their lives enlightened and brightened by your appearance. As many travel far and wide to see migrations of butterflies so shall many come to see what I have done in you. Arise and believe. Arise and embrace. Freedom to fly is here.

“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (Luke 2:52 NIV)
“Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood” (Isaiah 54:4 NIV)
Prayer
Lord, thank You for lifting the reproach of men and circumstances off my life and heart. I invite You into every deep or hidden place within me and say, “Have Your way!” More than anything, I want to be completely free to be who You have made me to be. I release all people who have disdained me, hurt me or wounded me in any way. Please bring each one to my remembrance that I might lay the ugly colors of unforgiveness down forever. I release them that they might be free also. Every accusation of the enemy melts like wax in the flame of Your presence.
I close my eyes and I can see You removing strand after strand, layer after layer. I acknowledge all You have already done and give You praise. I choose not to concentrate on the negative, but instead focus on the good things You have done. May my heart be one of humility, grace and forgiveness. Your grace is sufficient to do all I need and to forgive who I need to forgive. Thank You for removing the crooked staff of the enemy. I embrace Your Word as the truth. I will confess it as done according to all You have spoken. As I do this, I will fly on wings of destiny and be a blessing to myself, my family and all You send me to. I arise and believe. I arise and embrace the freedom to fly. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- Reproach means to be criticized or to criticize, feel blameworthy, disgraced, be disgraced, disgraced, disgraceful, or to be discredited in some way.
- In what areas have you looked at yourself and did any of the above or received theses definitions of reproach from others?
- What areas of reproach need to fall away from your life, enabling you to fly? Repent for any self-reproach; forgive those who have reproached you Forgive all the reproaches of men and confess if you have walked in reproach toward anyone.
- Give each and every reproach to the Lord. Agree with Him and take the sword of the Spirit, stand up in your rightful position, ready to battle.
Thank you that the time to redeem my self worth has come. No more shame, no more ostracism and if ever there is, I will not mind at all for what matters is how I am in Your eyes. You alone Lord matters in my heart…
1. A subject I can relate to.
2. As related to you, Brenda, I had an occurrence in church recently which “reproached” me in a conversation my husband and I had with the Greeters of the church and the Pastor’s insertion of our conversation in his sermon. I have already forgiven them and have prayed about this. I criticize. That should say something about my attitude in reproachment. I need to readjust and deal with this, as God does not condemn me, but takes His time with correcting me. I need to pray often about this.
3. Forgive as Christ has done for us when we believe. This is the right thing to do. Also, to forgive ourselves for wrong thinking and speech.
4. It is a battle every day. I put the Christ light around me and when times are especially difficult, I put on the armor of God.
