Land

Imagine a parcel of land before you! Allow yourself to really experience that land. You may need to shut your eyes for a few minutes! Take some time to look around you. What colors do you see? What type of land is it? What season is it? Are there trees or flowers or barns on your land? What other objects do you see on your land?
Now imagine that the land before you is YOU! It's your life!!! Your past, your present and your future! It's all there laid out before you! What does your land look like now? Has it changed? How has it changed? Spend some time looking it over!
If you have ever lived a life outside of Gods will for your life then I would guess that there may be some dark and scary places on that land that you would rather not look at or imagine! BUT those are the exact places I want you to walk over to. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior then take HIM by the hand and head on over to the first knarly area. If you have never asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior you can do so now and then take His hand and head over to your first stopping place.
As you walk with Jesus, listen to Him tell you about the land! IF you belong to HIM then the land is HIS! HE has authority over that land! HE has victory over that land! Allow Him to take you to the past where it is dark and unhappy memories live. Point out what happened there and confess your sin to Him. Or tell him your story! It's a very safe place to talk! No one else is on your land! Remember, He already knows what went on there! Once you confess or share about one dark spot, move to another one and confess/share that one as well. Continue on your journey with Jesus until all the yicky places have been identified and confessed or shared! (I know this may not be easy or quick! Take your time!)
Now imagine Him covering over each dark spot with a bright red cloth! It was washed in His blood that He shed for your specific sin or incident so that YOU can walk in freedom!!!
Take time to imagine Him covering each place that you visited together!
Now go back to where you started at the beginning of this excercise! Jesus is still with you! Look out at the terrain! There's NO darkness left! There's no shame! It's all been covered by the blood of Jesus and becomes part of your testimony! You can take others to your land and show them what Jesus covered OR you can keep it between the two of you. No one else will see it unless you point it out anyway!
YOU were purchased with a price! ONE BLOOD SACRIFICE! That's all it took to purchase your land!!! Nothing else can add to it! Nothing can take it away!! YOUr land is paid in full! YOU are free!!! The boundary markers are from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet! They are as wide as your memory and as far as your future! YOU have been completely covered!!!!
Right about now you may want to sit on your newly restored land and worship! OR you may want to dance! It's YOUR land! Jesus is right there with you!
