CELEBRATING HIS LIFE MINISTRIES

“NO, YOU ARE NOT DYSFUNCTIONAL"
A Fresh Word by Al Thomas

I WAS PRAYING FOR A FRIEND WHO WAS PARALYZED WITH GUILT and shame. As I was praying I was suddenly was transported into another realm of the Spirit and I heard the voice of the Lord. He said, “There are many of My children who are confused or feel mentally off balance. They think they are dysfunctional.”

GOD SAID:
“MANY THINK THEY ARE DYSFUNCTIONAL
AND AT TIMES THEY EVEN HATE THEMSELVES”

“You are not dysfunction…this is what the enemy wants you to think. Some of you have done things that you think I have not forgiven. You are wrong, I have forgiven you (1 John 2:12). You do not hate yourself...you only hate your carnal man. Until the day I take you home every one will struggle with the carnal nature but the enemy of your soul wants to convince you that your carnal nature is the real you. That is not the real you! The new man is the real you (Ephesians 2: 14-15; 2 Corinthians 5:17). Even Paul did things he hated (Romans 7:19) but he did not hate himself and neither should you. Yes, you should hate sin and the sin nature, but do not hate yourself. The very act of hating your carnal man proves that you love Me. I love you and I want you to love yourself (Mark 12:33). You simply have listened to the wrong spirit. I am liberating you today with the truth that I love and accept you (Ephesians 1:6). Child of mine, you are not dysfunctional. Satan is dysfunctional! Turn it around and say, ‘Satan, I’m normal, you are dysfunctional!”

GOD SAID:
“MANY ARE OFTEN DISAPPOINTED WITH
THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY THINK I’M
DISAPPOINTED WITH THEM...BUT I AM NOT”

“Some of you look at your life as if it were one horrible failure after another. Do not play into Satan’s hands by listening to him. He is a liar from the beginning (John 10:10) and he is lying to you now. Do you fail at times? Of course, but some of my most effective servants fail and fail often. Do you make mistakes? Yes, many of my children have stumbled and failed. My choice servant David was not immune to failure (Psalm 51: 1-2). Moses also failed at times (Numbers 20: 7-13) in his ministry. Satan would want you to think of all the times you have blown it and all the times you have said the wrong thing at the wrong time. But here is the truth: While the enemy tormented you with thoughts of all the times you have committed this sin or that sin, I was thinking, ‘Good work My child, I thought you were going to stumble much more than you have'. Yes, I didn’t think you would do as well as you have…so actually I was surprised at how strong you have been. Rather than feeling guilty you should celebrate! Rejoice with Me, you are growing and learning from your mistakes! My Son made no mistakes and I see Him when I look at you.”

GOD SAID:
“THE DEVIL WANTS YOU TO QUIT. DO NOT DO IT, YOUR
GREATEST VICTORIES ARE ABOUT TO COME TO PASS”

“Why do you think the enemy has wanted you to think you are dysfunctional? Why do you think he has been pushing you so hard, making you think that you are losing your mind? He wants you to quit. He wants you to give up and stop doing My work. Satan desired to sift Peter like sand and he almost succeeded (John 18: 25-27) except for one thing: the Son of God prayed for him (Luke 22:31) and He is praying for you also (Hebrews 7:25). Every step you take towards Me will be met by satanic resistance but you will not fail because I will not fail. Many of My children think they are dysfunctional or that they have failed Me, not realizing they are simply going through the sanctification process or going through the fire (Malachi 3:3) of purification. Either way, you are going to come out victorious (Philippians 4:13). Thinking you are dysfunctional is normal for many of My children. As a matter of fact when you don’t feel dysfunctional…you probably are. Yes, the battle is raging and the waves are crashing around you…yet I will always bring you back to perfect peace in the midst of chaos (Isaiah 26:3). Straighten up, look up and start rejoicing because you are running the race of faith and you are right on time. Crazy? Not you. You’re just in a battle (Ephesians 6: 12) and it’s the enemy who’s losing his mind and the victory. Get ready to wave the banner and shout Hallelujah…you’re about to enter new levels of victory for Me. Dysfunctional? Not on your life…or Mine!”

‘HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL COMPLETE IT…’
(Philippians 1:6)
