He is my God too!

Today was a day of spiritual warfare, breaking strongholds, confession, surrender, and deep fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

As I read Romans 1, 2, 3, and 4:1–16, God opened my eyes to truths I needed to be reminded of. I am called and loved by God, and the Gospel is the power of God through which His righteousness is revealed. (Romans 1:7, 16–17)

I was deeply humbled to realise that I deserve God's wrath and that I can never become righteous through my own works. Yet, I am clothed with the righteousness that comes through Christ.

Romans 2 reminded me that I have no right to judge anyone else. God's kindness is meant to lead me to repentance (Romans 2:4), and today He graciously exposed my hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and many areas that needed surrender.

I realised again that what God desires is a circumcision of the heart, something only the Holy Spirit can accomplish. (Romans 2:28–29)

Romans 3 and 4 renewed my mind again: righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ, freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ. (Romans 3:21–24)

But then I came to Romans 3:29: “Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too.”

That verse struck me like lightning. He is my God too!!! I literally couldn't stop crying when I read it.

I just want to be very raw in writing this. I had been so sensitive to the voice of the precious Holy Spirit, but because of my own carelessness, I felt I had missed His fellowship so much over the last few days.

This morning, I woke up with so much sorrow that it led me to fasting. Through fasting, prayer, confession, and fighting with Champion Jesus on my side, He helped me recognise the guilt, condemnation, and manipulation of the enemy, especially concerning my calling.

I am so grateful that God disciplines me whenever I slip and continually draws me back to Himself. Today, He renewed my mind. He restored my joy. He drew me back to Himself.

And He reminded me once again that I am righteous in Christ, not because of who I am or what I have done, but because of who He is and what He has done for me.
