We all have moments of shame in our past that we would never want highlighted in heaven’s media room before the throne. If the throne in heaven was just still a mercy seat, then it would be likely, shame could be projected and highlighted for your sin and of your earthly father’s father. Under the new covenant and because of the cross, the throne is now built from grace! So we now receive, by faith, double honor from God today for the past obedience of Jesus.
Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.Therefore in their land they shall possess double;Everlasting joy shall be theirs.-Isaiah 61:7 NKJ
How do you receive this double honor? Exchange past shame in your time of prayer and supplication (your quiet time) and listen to your shepherd’s voice about the shame He endured on the cross for you to have double honor. Do you believe His shame and sacrifice was enough or do you still believe your earthly sin is bigger than His blood sacrifice?
When someone receives double honor from their heavenly Father, the enemy no longer has power to bring shame. Satan will never stop accusing with shame on the earth, but a child who knows their heavenly Father will learn to receive only double honor for shame. How do you know today if you have received double honor by faith instead of shame? Those who receive freely give freely.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.– 2 Corinthians 1:2-4 NKJ
