Through out the night a couple of days ago I kept waking up to these lyrics playing loudly in my spirit:
Fear, he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear, he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
'Cause fear, he is a liar
As I went before the Lord I asked, "What is it I fear?" The Lord began to reveal to me I feared:
1) Being misunderstood because of my calling.
I do not move like others, so I will be seen as rebellious. JUST CALL ME A REBEL FOR JESUS!
2) Allowing the spirit of Jezebel to muzzle me in anyway.
3) Not hearing God clearly.
4) And not leading His people well.
All these things began to affect who I am (my identity), and my position within the body of Christ. FEAR WAS BEGINNING TO CRIPPLE ME, and I was not aware.
I have noticed everytime there is a promotion and transition my identity is attacked. I had to learn to fully embrace the new me in these seasons and not shrink back. Fear was sent to keep me from fully embracing the new me who has emerged from the ashes. FOR I AM A NEW CREATION IN THE LORD!
Today I walked across a bridge that use to terrify me before today saying, "I WILL NOT FEAR! FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN ME THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT ONE OF POWER, LOVE, AND A SOUND MIND! I WILL CROSS OVER INTO THE NEW! FOR PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR!
Later I heard these words: ELEVATION and SEPARATION.
Sometimes, to fully step into the place the Father is elevating you to there has to be a separation. A separation from people, places, and things.
To stay connected when the Lord is calling you higher and in another direction can be detrimental to where the Lord wants to take you. Some will never get all the Father has for them because they are not willing to let go of what was, to truly walk in ALL and receive ALL that He has for them. To let go and trust God. Complete SURRENDER to the purposes and plans of the Lord for their life.
Psalms 50:5 says, “Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
It is a sacrifice to truly walk with and follow God, but it is a sacrifice worth taking. And one that will be well rewarding. He calls those willing to sacrifice for Him...FAITHFUL!
As I sat with the Lord I then heard these lyrics playing in my spirit:
Hello, peace
hello, joy
Hello, love
Hello, strength
hello, hope, It's a new horizon!!
It's a new horizon yall! Stand tall in ALL the Father has created you to be! IT'S WHO YOU ARE! Step into the new horizon! Let go of all the fear and step into peace, joy, love, strength, and hope in this new season!
