Move With Me

Have you ever been in prayer with God and you just completely break down! Yep that was me this morning. I have been dealing lately with a few things that is between myself and God but this mornings prayer was different. He showed me things I was dealing with that I had no clue were there. And I know those things were holding me back from what He wanted to do in me. It held me back from true worship. It held me back from fully having complete faith in Him.

He is amazing like that. As I was praying the words that were coming out were new to me. I was like who am I praying for that is feeling that....oh wait....that's me! Tears began to stream down my face when I came to the realization that it was me that was harboring those feelings.

Bitterness. Resentment. Unforgiving.

Really? Me? Were those things really so deep inside of me that I didn't even realize that they were just in there hanging out. Well after this mornings devotion and when I began to pray, God brought all those things to the surface. Basically telling me that if they do not leave, the blessings and levels He wants to take me will be at a standstill.

I laid it all out this morning. Covering my Bible with tears, I asked for forgiveness. I asked for all those feelings to leave. I asked for a renewed heart. I asked to be clean of those feelings. I asked for His joy to return to me and guess what - in that moment it felt like a ton bricks were lifted off my shoulders. I began to laugh! I began to literally laugh and raise my hands in the midst of my prayer. I knew that He was healing me of those things that I had just asked for!

Guys! We are all human and if you get to the point where you think you are holier than thou and think you don't deal with those things - that's a dangerous place to be. We all deal with emotions on a daily basis but it is when we let them fester day after day, that they turn into a lifestyle, a norm for us. We have to learn that when those feels arise, we rebuke them right on the spot. Don't let them build up! They will steal your joy and that's what the enemy wants. He wants us to be filled with hate, resentment, bitterness - because he knows what it is keeping us from.

So today loves I ask this, is there anything that is holding you back from what God wants to do in you and through you? Be honest with yourself this morning and really dig deep. I had to dig deep this morning to see what I was keeping inside of me. It affected my daily walk and I didn't even know it.

Ask God to free you and He will, if it comes from a place of true meaning. You have to mean it with all your heart or they are just words coming out of your mouth. They have to come out of your heart. God knows you better than you know yourself. Remember what I said last week...

Sometimes we have to speak things for us to even know that we are dealing with them! Speak it loves! God knows but He just wants to hear you say it. Then it will be released!

As I am ending this blog post for today I feel more free than I have in a few months. I just needed to speak it. I didn't even know those feelings were there but they came out with a vengeance. I am ready to move to the next level with God. Move with me loves!
