He put a new song in my mouth......

Oh, last Monday at the Bible Study one sister shared a testimony that shook me! We have studied Ps. 40 that night.

Just read few verses with me Ps. 40:1-3

I waited patiently for the LORD;

he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;

he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

Our very beloved sister spoke at the end. Enemy has been holding her in bondage FOR YEARS concerning certain issue in her life. She lived with the shekels most of life, and as the one who's been there, I would say that with the time we don't even notice they are there.

This child of God spoke such a truth that evening. She said that something had been broken a week before. She wept as she shared what a wonderful feeling it was to be free. This is something new for her and she was truly overwhelmed by that feeling that she could not describe it. I knew what she was talking about.....been in a pit myself and cried aloud for my God to rescue me and He faithfully did. Of course, no one will ever know the extent of her hurt and trouble, but in one way or another, we- the redeemed of Lord, know the feeling.

As she kept on speaking, she said few things that will stay with me for a long time :

#1) She said that now when she reads the Bible, she gets it! You should've seen her face when she said ," I GET IT! I GET IT! I GET IT!!!!"....AHHH..... Delight us, LORD! The blindfolds of the enemy had been lovingly removed from her eyes by the blood of Jesus and the Word, the Godbreathed Word of God become more alive than ever before! She felt the hot breath from God's lips as He spoke to her through His Own Word. I LOVE it!

#2) She said ,"I am half way out of the pit and I have no intentions to go back. I am getting out even if it costs me everything. I am done being a pit dweller".... GLORY TO GOD! Enemy somehow convinces us that for Christians life in a pit is as good as it gets and in reality, God says, "you have NO EARTHLY CLUE how much more I have prepared for you!"....I am thrilled to see this sister tasting new blessings and having her own time of the life with Jesus....

Liberated Christians - this is the passion of my life. I always tell people that we, as Christians, can still be "Freed yet in bondage" people. I see them everywhere- they are saved, but still bound by all kinds of things.....none of us is perfect, but we are striving for the best and the closer we get to the Son, the more ropes will be burned off our arms and ankles!

I celebrate the victory in my friend's and sister's life! Today, like never before!

May 9 is the HUGE VICTORY DAY in Russia. They celebrate their freedom from Hitler.

I celebrate with you, beloved friend, a freedom from the accuser of your soul!

I love you dearly....

You are an amazing woman with so many gifts and talents...don't ever give up on yourself....

As she shared her testimony with the smile and tears, God spoke to me ,"this, my child, is the visual example of what Ps. 40 calls a "new song".....As she finished, I almost shouted "YOU GOT A NEW SONG!!!!! YOU GOT A NEW SONG!!!" (I wonder if some ladies in a group thought I was a nut...oh well, they already know I am one :)).....

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

A new song is sang no longer in a pit, but let the whole world hear our song to God!!!!!!!

I want all the lost people hear our victory song, I want the redeemed hear our liberty song and I want the enemy hear our new song of praise unto OUR GOD!!!! Let the enemy hear that song and be sorry he ever messed with us!
