Going Under

The water of baptism represents going under the waters and raising up in Christ. “I no longer live, but Christ lives in me” (Gal 2:20) A representation of a new birth. New beginnings, new season. The Lord had giving us this awesome opportunity to come to him with not pretenses, but out of obedience and humility. Is about staying focus in him, is saying no to the flesh and about saying yes to the spirit. Asking God to develop a six sense in us, so then in return we be able to hear him correctly and clearly. Watching in awe as he steel ourselves (to fill oneself with determination and courage) with determination to do his will for our life’s. Walking with determination the path designed for us. As we render (to make available) our hearts, our thought, our emotions to him. To be changed from the inside out. Breaking away from self-reliance, self pity, selfishness, comparison, and Jealousy. Strict application I do out of legalization instead of love. Self interest, following rules and mandates from the grays areas that still much alive in me. It mask itself as good but it’s the flesh in me. The areas no one sees. As I allowed God to go deeper in me I came face to face with a behavior an action an attitude and my response to others. The boasting of the flesh when I have the tendency to exaggerate a little. How the flesh like to impress others in the smallest way as how I carry myself, to be known, recognize and feel the applause of others. Coming from a deep desire to be accepted, the deeper root of abandonment. The lust of the flesh, they all come from the same root; pride. For I look at self and what I had overcome. The victories. From where the Lord had taken me. Mental illness, jail and morgue. Pride mask itself again and I want to help God. Instead of allowing him to do them. For deep inside I don’t have full confidence in him- to fight for me, to protect me, and to pave the way. Which in returns come from the root of impatience, for I think my wishes are been ignore. Going under had me, doing a self inventory, self evaluation. Exposing me. I will continue to expose myself to the one who love me and gave himself for me. I had seeing the power of God in our life’s. The revelation that comes when we yield to his calling and we align ourselves with his will. Never to be the same. Continuing to change and expose the secret areas of the heart. To be born of the spirit and to walk in the spirit. So I won’t gratify the sinful flesh. Going under it means to open yourself completely to the one who knows you the most. Saying yes here I am Lord. Do as you please. Clean me and make me whole. Today is the day, let me rejoice and be glad in it. Ivette Diaz-Yee August 2023

The Sacrifice

Here I kneel oh Lord. I don't have riches, but from what I have I bring forth my offering. Let your purifying fire burn the excess of self-reliance, self-absorbed. Trying to help you instead of waiting for you. Let me not light up the fire, but let your fire consume the altar of my heart. Teach me how to present myself as a living sacrifice; holy and pleasing unto you. Becoming the billboard that shows forth the glory of God. Breaking down the old self-altar and rebuilding all new; with you at the center of all. Here I am Lord once again. Purified my heart, my motives my actions, and my reactions. In Jesus name, I pray, amen. Ivette Diaz-Yee August 2023 #elijah #restauration #purifying

The Mirror of Self Reflection

Isaiah 27:3-5 TPT “ I, The Lord watch over my vineyard of delights, moment by moment I water it in love and protect it day and night, There is no anger in me. For if I found briars and thorns I would burn them up and march to battle against them. So let the branches cling to my protection when they make true peace with me, yes, let them make me their friend “ As I listen to this teaching, I feel the hand of God cutting away the stigma, guilt, and shame that surfaced during this time of isolation. The time has finally come to go deeper. I recognize that I need to work out those places that only the Holy Spirit can touch. God was asking for permission to go in a revisit those areas; Spirit of religion was the first one. How I had allowed man made rules and traditions derailed me from the purpose that God has for me. I broke down in tears, in repentance and humility recognizing the big part I played in it. As I’m kneeling down I had this vision of a long grey body mirror. Matter of fact it look like one I have. God would always used what is familiar to us. As I looked into it, I can’t see anything because a bright rays off lights are coming out from it. Spiritually I’m standing in front off it, yet I know I’m in the floor kneeling, undone, crying , and asking God to continue showing me those areas that I had become blind to it, or that I had hurried alive within me. Too painful to deal or accept. “Stop calling myself names “ was what I heard. I had called myself many names; stupid, ignorant, crazy, procrastinator, God was showing me those areas in the soul that need to break; the soul ties off insecurities; I sense them being removed from deep inside of me -He is burning them up- God is doing a cleansing from deep inside. Loosing up the tights that the enemy had me bound for so long, He is releasing me to the freedom that comes from him. Delivering me from the wrong belief systems. He was setting me free. This time when I looked into the mirror I believe I saw His reflection. He allowed me to see me through His eyes. I am his vineyard of delights, He waters me as I spend time with him. He protect me day and night and he doesn’t get angry when he sees the residuos of self, because when He find them, he himself burned them up with his fire of purification. God himself goes ahead and march in to battle for my sake. I am undone, left without strength to get up, but yet free and the shalom peace that surrounds me was almost like I could touch it. I know God was preparing me and getting me ready for what was yet to come. As I’m settling myself I started to draw what I thought I saw. And explaining it in my own words. But that is for another day. For now let stand in front of the mirror and write down what you see...them ask God what He sees when he looks at you. Allow him to showed you how He sees you.
