"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live and walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit." (Romans 8v1.)
We had a footwashing session at our ladies gathering on Thursday. The above scripture arose in my spirit to minister to the ladies. As we washed each lady's feet, we washed off everything and everyone who condemns them....the passed, mistakes and failures.... It was amazing for me to realise how we are taken captive by those "voices" how we can not reach beyond the guilt, shame or hurts of the passed...
Why not? ....fear of the stone throwers?
They brought the lady caught in the act of adultery to Jesus, his answer to them was "he who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." Everyone had to drop their stones....then Jesus sent the woman away saying "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more" (John 8v3-11)
Often we catch someone, a stranger or even a loved one in the "act of sin" and we feel justified to throw that stone, but I hope you are inspired to drop your stones, and rather fall on your knees to wash the condemnation off that person's feet... like Jesus washed his disciples' feet....yours and mine.
Our Scriptures for this week are:
Jeremiah 31 verse 31-34
Psalm 51 v 1-12 or Psalm 119 v 9-16
Hebrews 5 v 5-10
John 12 v 20-33
"Life without liberty is like a body without spirit" -Gibran
