Saturday thoughts....

I've been ending Spring Break reflecting yet again....there are actually two shorter blogs right before this one that I posted last night. This one is going to be a little longer...

The word spoken Wednesday night was transitional. At one point I even said ouch and that's good....that being said my prayer since that night at the altar was Lord let it stick. Let the word spoken take root. The more our heart needs the word, the more we desire for it to stick...the more the enemy wants to wash it away. I'm thankful for technology because I'm watching the service again.....because this means war. I'm over labels, I'm over boxes...and I'm over limits. I'm over being judged and categorized simply because I haven't found my Boaz yet. The absence of a ring on my finger does not negate my calling or my ministry, but that's a blog for another day. This wasn't the initial blog that God started writing last night, but I had to clear this out so I could write what He spoke last night. Be protective of the words God speaks into your life...draw a line around it and watch God take you to a deeper level. God spoke it to you...and He's ready to act on it...don't pay attention to the distractors around you...It's the season of restoration.  God's restoring the thoughts of not enough and not worthy enough and showing you He's called you for such a time as this. He's lighting the passion that He destined for you....hold on to what He has promised you and know that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (not even the opinions of others).

Spiritual dehydration...that's the word that God started writing on last night. It was a topic that the kids actually chose as their small group last week for FCA and God hasn't let me forget it since. We can Google the symptoms of dehydration in the natural, but do we know the symptoms of what spiritual dehydration looks like. Do we know them enough to recognize before the IV of water is needed? If we get too dehydrated in the natural we need an IV to get us going again....it's the same in the spiritual. If we let ourselves get too dehydrated in the spiritual, we need an IV in order to get back what the enemy has stolen from you. Your color comes back when the IV in the natural gets into you and it's the same in the Spiritual. When that IV, that word that brings life back into you.....gets into your system...whew. Look out devil......Know the symptoms of spiritual dehydration...and just like in the natural, the more you do, the more you need to hydrate.

I don't know who else this is for, it may just be for me....but the enemy wants you to keep stuffing and God is raising up a word on the inside of you that someone needs to hear. You have what He's given you in your hands, what are you going do with it? It's yours for the taking....quit letting someone else tell you it's not yours or you aren't good enough. Think about what God thinks about you and quit letting the opinions of others keep you in bondage any longer. The stirring on the inside of you is moving for a reason....are you going to let that stirring defeat Goliath or are you going to let it keep you back tending sheep? The season is shifting for a reason.....rise up to what God has spoken to you...This is the year of restoration ...Believe it and Walk in it...(You can't walk in it standing still, just saying)
