Happy Thanksgiving!
Hebrews 12:1-3
1 As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us.
2 We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!
3 So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures.
Dear friends,
As I am sitting here in my prayer time, I heard the Lord whisper in my ear, “It’s time to UNLOAD!” Usually at Thanksgiving we are LOADING UP on food! But today, I hear HIM……..UNLOAD! Immediately the Lord had my attention. I opened my heart to hear HIM speak even more! Here is what I feel the Lord is saying to us at this Thanksgiving season!
To my sons and daughters,
It’s time to get your focus back. I am calling you to let go of every wound that has pierced you. I am saying, if you want to be free, you must forgive others as well as yourself. It’s time to take a look at your thought life! Your negative thoughts will lead you down a toxic path that will entangle you in a web of bitterness. It’s time to unload.
You can not enter this new season that I have marked out for you while you are still holding on to fear, anger, rage, dissension, bitterness, unforgiveness, etc…
I have designs over your life! I have a purpose for you! Just for you! I created you and with my own hand I wrote out your life’s story. Don’t be deceived. Am I a God who will be mocked? No!
Come up here to my throne room and I will show you things that must take place. Make the effort to enter into My presence.
It’s time to unload.
The journey ahead is long, so I need you to run this race with passion and determination! Don’t let anyone or anything steal your passion! You have purpose and you know it! So throw off everything that is entangling you and slowing you down!
It’s time to unload.
Look away from the natural realm and gaze into My eyes from where your faith was conceived. Faith will grow in you like a baby grows in the womb of a mother. You will give birth to the supernatural as I lead you forward. Yes! FORWARD! You can not go forward with negativity in your soul, bitterness in your heart, and anger in your eyes! I have seen how life has pierced you! I know! Nothing catches me off. But remember, I am your DEFENDER! I go before you, I have put angels in charge over you, I have shut the mouths of lions that were roaring against you, and I’ve been walking with you through the fire.
It’s time to unload.
So, consider carefully how I faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you wouldn’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressure.
When you take your eyes off me for a moment, like Peter did, you will feel overwhelmed and feel like you are drowning. Keep your eyes on Me, and with My eye, I will lead you, protect you, and make a way for you in the desert places. I am the Lord Your God and I am with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you! You are Mine and I am yours.
It’s time to unload.
Happy Thanksgiving!
1 Thessalonians 5:18-19
in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.
