My beloved, this time of transition that many are experiencing right now is a result of My actions, it is by My hand. I am actively tearing things apart and causing disruptions to your comfort zones. As a result, you may feel that some aspects of your life are coming to an abrupt end. The purpose of this process is not only to introduce the new but to also reveal your true heart and the things you are tethered to.
What unholy allegiances are you holding onto? Which alliances have outlived their expiration date? Do you remain in these relationships out of a sense of loyalty, even though they lead you away from My heart, My plans, and My purposes? Will you choose to let go of these things in order to follow Me and embrace the ways of the kingdom as we build something new together? Will you allow these attachments to pull you out of alignment with My timings?
As we navigate this intense evaluation together, consider how what is ending is part of My overall design. Is what you are connected to truly part of My plan? In this process, you will witness the true loyalties of your heart as they come into full view. Do not be like Lot’s wife as you consider what I am asking you to leave behind with feelings of loss and nostalgia. Longing for the past will prevent you from being fit for My Kingdom. As you choose to move with Me into new spaces, new realities, new revelations, and assignments, you must let go of any desire for a relationship with the past. It is essential to separate yourself from the old and embrace the transition into the new. What I have for you is ready, but you must choose to receive it with your whole heart turned to Me and both hands outstretched toward Me.
Activation:
The Lord is calling us away from dead things; things that no longer receive the wind of His Spirit. To be fruitful in our assignments, we must choose life in all aspects and willingly let go of what no longer serves Him and His Kingdom. As the Lord has instructed, it is important to engage in deep evaluation with Him, considering how the endings we face are part of His plan.
During your time with Him, consider asking the following questions:
- What hidden loyalties or attachments may be hindering my relationship with God?
- Are there any alliances or connections that no longer align with God’s purposes for my life?
- How can I let go of the past and embrace a future aligned with God’s will?
As you reflect on these questions with the Lord, allow honesty and vulnerability into the conversation. Take some time to journal your insights, realizations, and any emotions that come to the surface during this assessment with Him. Ask the Lord to help you move forward with Him into the new, choosing life by placing your trust in Him, the Faithful and Trustworthy God.
Abram Journeys to Egypt
Now [in Haran] the LORD had said to Abram,
“Go away from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;Genesis 12:1 (AMP)
60 But He said to him, “Allow the [spiritually] dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and spread the news about the kingdom of God.”
61 Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord [as Your disciple]; but first let me say goodbye to those at my home.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back [to the things left behind] is fit for the kingdom of God.”
Luke 9:60-62 (AMP)
9 “The heart is deceitful above all things
And it is [a]extremely sick;
Who can understand it fully and know its secret motives?10 “I, the LORD, search and examine the mind,
I test the heart,
To give to each man according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds.Jeremiah 17:9-10 (AMP)
