"....won't stop until I see them fall"

I had a moment driving this morning where a line of a song that I couldn't seem to get off of repeat took me to God's feet in sweet worship. The tears flowed and I kept hitting the song over and over as I drove. The song Confidence by Sanctus Real has been a mainstay for me over the last couple of months. It's hit a part in my heart that I had let a wall build up around again. You see ...you can find freedom and forget about it. Busyness and distractions can slide in quickly and before you know it what was a flame is barely a flicker. Even as I type this, I've got the song on repeat again and the tears are back. The line that's the bridge I think is what has pressed in today..... "I"m going to sing and shout and shake the walls, won't stop until I see them fall".

Walls go up for a variety of reasons, some for security, some for protection, sometimes they go up because it's just the easiest. Sometimes we didn't put them up, we just ran into one and quit trying to figure out how to go around it or through it. We let the obstacle in our path (whatever that may be) keep us in a place that can grow too comfortable. Sometimes comfort zones can make us spin our wheels so to speak (aka frustration because we should be doing something more than staring at a wall). Y'all if you haven't figured it out yet....God will get His children's attention. I sought out some wisdom a couple of weeks ago after yet another round of antibiotics for a different infection (Dear Lord, let March be medicine free...). My mentor friend told me to test the spirits.....ya'll that isn't easy some times. I'm the one who cares way too much of what other people think and can overanalyze pretty much everything, but I knew God was trying to get through and had a word. I'm my own worst critic and most days I truly wish I could give myself the same grace He gives me, but that's coming. Some times God will let us get to a place to remind us of the place He meant for us to be all along. (Read that again). Hear my heart.....good things don't always equal God things and being busy doesn't always mean being fruitful.

There is an anointing from the pressing that got you to this point. You know what God's told you......stay the course and let the distractions (and yes He will show you what is distracting you) quit entangling you. God made you for more than staring at the wall you seem to have found yourself at. Press in, those are the moments where the oil comes from and know that the wall is coming down .....with each shout and push. There is a story to be shared with the world, armor up Warrior....and keep on.

I've struggled to write over the last year. I wouldn't call it a writer's block...more of an autopilot comfort zone I found myself in. God has been pulling the layers back over the last couple of months and fanning the flame again. We all have moments where we reach a wall.....sweet reader, it's just a wall and walls were meant to fall so you can step over them. You know what God's poured into your Spirit....and what He's called you to do. The enemy knows how to distract you......stay focused on the call and shout. Your walls aren't the only ones coming down.....because after all Warrior why would the enemy work so hard to distract if you.

Stay the course....more to come this month ;-) Thank you Jesus!
