ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
GLORY STORY BY ELIZABETH
I felt the powerful overwhelming love of God flow through me toward my ex-husband. I felt how much God loves him. Then the flow of love washed away the negative emotions and unforgiveness and replaced it with love, compassion, and an eternal perspective of my ex-husband.
One day at work I was talking to a friend about my divorce, I was sharing what happened and began to emotionally vomit on her an array of negative emotions. I felt the Holy Spirit open my eyes to what was happening. I abruptly stopped the conversation and went to find a private place to pray. I confessed to the Lord that my heart was full of bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness. I could feel the emotions restlessly churning in me, I asked the Lord to give me a new heart (psalm 51:10-12).
As I opened my eyes, I saw an image of my ex-husband radiant, glowing white and under what looked like a banner or covering of the blood of Jesus. I saw myself throwing my emotions and accusations at my ex-husband but they did not reach him, there was an invisible barrier around him. Then I saw a large pile of emotions next to me and it looked like… well a large pile of poop. It had a thin transparent membrane over it. I asked the Lord what this was, in my spirit I knew the membrane was my attempt to be “nice” or “loving” to hide or cover my true feelings, but in reality, my negative emotions were visible to others. I asked the Lord for forgiveness, I did not know how to deal with this on my own.
Then, I felt the powerful overwhelming love of God flow through me toward my ex-husband. I felt how much God loves him. Then the flow of love washed away the negative emotions of bitterness, hatred, anger, resentment, and unforgiveness and replaced it with love, compassion, and an eternal perspective of my ex-husband.
RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST
God sees him covered by the blood and righteous in Christ. I was cursing my ex-husband by agreeing with satan’s accusations of him and by talking about how he had wounded me. Even though there was truth in what I was speaking, it did not align with God’s eternal perspective of how He sees him. The father sees what he created him to be, the Lord knows his current situation and struggles as well as what He has destined him to become. God is not done with him yet, he is a work in progress, but the spiritual reality is that even during our struggles and failures, if we are IN Christ, He is our righteousness our covering and when the Lord looks at us, he sees His beloved son, Jesus! We are IN Christ (Philippians 3:9)!
I sensed that my ex-husband’s trials and struggles would be a part of his future testimony that would help set others free. Some time has gone by since I had the vision and I still have to take negative thoughts captive and instead of speaking negatively about him, I declare God’s eternal perspective and pray for him to step into his destiny.
LORD, HEAL OUR WOUNDS
Father, thank you for showing us how you see us with an eternal perspective, forgive us for allowing unforgiveness to cause division in your body by not forgiving our brothers and sisters in Christ who have wounded us. Heal our wounds with your everlasting love, and give us new hearts and wisdom to take negative thoughts and emotions captive. Your heart is for us to be united in love.
We pray as Jesus prayed in John 17: 20-23 “…that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”
