The moment I realized it, I asked The LORD to forgive me. I called that unwillingness what it was, identified it as sin, and repented of it. I received God’s forgiveness, He cleansed me of all unrighteousness and I started declaring by faith, “I love daily television!”
Immediately, God’s grace went to work and a whole new attitude rose up inside me. I actually began to enjoy doing daily television. Instead of going into the studio thinking, Oh, no…I guess I’m going to have to do this, I went in saying, “Glory to God! Hallelujah! I get to do this again!”
Where the Wicked One Can’t
Touch You
You can develop that kind of joyful attitude about anything God tells you to do. It doesn’t matter whether it’s tithing; changing something in your lifestyle that’s out of line with The WORD; or taking on some new, seemingly impossible assignment. If you’ll trust God’s love, you can do any of those things gladly. You can step out fearlessly (because perfected love casts out all fear) and do whatever The LORD says, knowing that He only wants to BLESS you and keep you out of trouble.
For God, that’s always been what obedience is all about. It’s about keeping us in the place of BLESSING and protecting us from the dangers of the curse. Even in the Old Testament, God said to the Israelites in Deuteronomy 28: “If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments…all these blessings shall come on thee…. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments…all these curses shall come upon thee” (verses 1-2, 15).
It’s the same way today. Although, as believers, we’ve been redeemed from the curse of the law by faith in Jesus, the curse is still out there; and we’ll walk right into it if we disobey God’s commands. What exactly are those commands? Under the New Covenant, “This is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another” (1 John 3:23).
