11 DAY ROUTE FROM EGYPT TO CANAAN Day 11 Arriving at Canaan!!!

 2024.10.16

Dearest Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit

Thank You for the most difficult yet most wonderful journey of my life from Egypt to Canaan. Thank You that You were by my side through this whole journey, and is still with me today!!!  Wow, I could not even sleep a wink last night, as I am so excited to get to Canaan, the promised land, the land where You brought me.  But… I am also a little scared about my new future in Canaan.

I LEAVE BEHIND IN THE DESERT…

I  The old me

I  The me that was tied down and could not do what I wanted to do

I  The me that hid behind my marriage not to do things for Christ

I  The me that was bruised and scared in the desert

I  The me that had so many excuses for not doing things.  Now there are no more excuses why I cannot serve God in fullness.

I  hiding behind someone else

I  all the excuses that I had for not serving You to the fullest

I  all the pain I suffered

I  all the trauma I went through

I  everything that held me back from becoming the best me there ever was

I  everything that tied me down to this earth

I  the bad and ugly me

I  the hurt me

I  the painful memories that I had

I  everything that is not from God!

I  My whole history, because the desert has wiped clean my history and gave me perspective on my future

I  The lonely me

I  The me that always craved to serve God in fullness

I  Who I was and who I thought I was – through someone else’s eyes.  Now I will get to see myself through God’s eyes

I  All the cursing that I had to live with

I  All the assumptions that were made of me that was not true at all

I  The old me that thought I had no value

I  The old me that thought that I really did not have a life to live at all, no more purpose

I  All the baggage from the past that was holding me back to be the person God wanted me to be

I  Everything that is not from God

I  Every believe system that is not from God

I  How I saw myself through other’s eyes. Now I am going to see myself through God’s eyes and for the person He created me to be.

I  Everything that held me back from developing my purpose here on earth

I  Self-pity, sorrow, and pain

I  Believe that I am too old and that I do not have a purpose in life anymore

I  Everything that is and was tying me up to not become the person You want me to be Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit

I  All bad, hurtful, damaging memories, belief systems, and everything that was not from You.  Wow, that is a bag full of things Lord.  Thank You for cutting the shackles and for freeing me from everything!! What an amazing relief I am feeling right now!

I  If there is anything else that You want me to leave behind Lord, I give it over to You.  I leave it in this desert to die, because I do not want to take anything with me that is not from You.

I  My dad implied to me in grade 7 (standard 5) that I was  dumb because I did not understand math, and I did not understand his way of explanation.  And right there I stopped asking for help from any person, from any teacher, from anyone at all.  I take that shackle and that implication off and dump it in the desert – never to think of it again!  Because guess what:  I have been fearfully and wonderfully made by God my Savior and Master!!!! And I only believe what He is saying about me and His promises!!

I  Everything, everything, everything that does not belong in a child of God, that God does not want in my life and does not belong in me!!

I  Every lie the devil told me through my life, and that I believed!

I  I let go of everything in my mind, body, soul, and being that is not from God in the Name of Jesus!!

PLEASE HELP ME TO BECOME…

I  The child You always wanted me to be

I  Your follower who will not move one inch without listening to You

I  So close to You that I can feel Your heartbeat every minute of the day

I  Positive, cheerfu, and full of peace with my life at this moment

I  The person You want me to be

I  The person You have created me to become, the one that is following in my purpose in the body of Christ

I  Daring and strict in following You and talking to others about You

I  A person that listens to the Holy Spirit leading me where You want me to be

I  A listening child of God, always tapped into You and always hearing Your voice leading me all the way

I  The best me in You that I can be

I  What You want me to become in the body of Christ

I  Humble like You were Jesus and never to think that I am better than anyone else around me

I  All YOU want me to be, and not who I think I am

I  Bold in talking about You!

I  So bold that I will never be ashamed to talk about You and give people advice that You give to them through me.

I  So sensitive to Your words to me for others

I  Sensitive in hearing what You are saying to me, and doing what You want me to do

I  Your servant with everything I have in me.  But please be patient with me Lord, because I am still a little brittle

 I AM ENTERING INTO…

I  A new phase of my life with God

I  Canaan with a clean slate

I  Canaan with hope in my heart

I  Canaan with God’s Spirit dwelling in me and filling me with His love, peace, and believe

I  A growing period of my life, growth in places that I never thought possible

I  Peace and tranquility

I  Peace and tranquility where I am staying

I  God’s plan for the rest of my life and His leadership in my life.

I  God’s gates of promise for my life

I  A whole new promised land of beauty, splendor, and hope, with God as the Lion of Juda walking before me and leading me all the way!  Hallelujah!!

I  Writing and singing for You like never before

I  Having the guts to write and sing for You

I  Following You as You want me to follow You

I  Grabbing Your hand in new circumstances and just follow Your lead at all times

I  Having every brain and body cell just listening to You and just doing Your will here on earth

I  I AM ENTERING INTO…

I  Becoming still before You and just learning from You

I  Doing Your will at all times

I  Listening to Your voice reprimanding me if I walk one inch of Your road

I  Following You until the day I die and You come to pick me up!

I  Having and showing fun to others, in You, here in South Africa

I  Being Your Shining light here on earth

I  Being Your scent here on earth so that I will not even have to speak but that people will get to know You by Your scent on me.

I  A time of peace and relaxation with only You by my side

I  The friendships You want me to be in at this time of my life.

I  Knowing You at all time and just staying in You

I  Hearing Your voice at all times and just listening to Your voice all the time.

I  Just being with You and sitting at Your side, learning from You

I  Your Presence Lord with a humble heart and bowing down before You.  Please change me as You Would Lord, and remove from me everything that is not from You

I   Your Presence and You are teaching me to become the person You want me to be. Thank You for that, my King and Master.

I  Canaan – my promised land, the land where You are always there and where it is only You and me walking this road – no more interferences.

I

I  Loving me through thick and thin and for never leaving my side

I  Showing me, as a ten-year-old girl, that my grandmother had no food, and for giving me determination to keep nagging my father and mother until they realized that something was wrong and they had to go and see for themselves.  And when we came there… she had nothing to eat!  You are so great, Lord.  Thank You for using me as a young child.  I love You so much!!

I  Every time You protected me in my live

I  Every time You used me to talk to someone and give them Your advice.  Please keep on using me Lord and give me a boldness to do the things You want me to do.
