Let Go!

This morning while I was on my way to Lela’s house for Jesus and Java, I asked the Lord to speak to me…He brought this song to my heart…which is confirmation of what I thought He has been trying to reveal to me for several weeks.  

One afternoon it started to rain and I was parked under several trees.  When I went to leave, my clean car was covered with little annoying thingys from the trees.  I thought after it dried they would fall off, but they still remained.  I instantly knew the Lord was trying to get my attention and tell me something.  I asked Him to reveal it to me and I kept hearing Release, Receive, Remain.  I believed He was saying I needed to let go so I could receive more of and from Him and then I needed to remain with Him and in His presence.

Once I got to Lela’s, Cyndi shared the word that she had received from the Lord!  Talk about spot on!  Exactly what He was showing me the past few weeks!  Then, she shared He will give me the desires of my heart…which is the scripture He used to confirm my calling as a team member with TTR!  I stand in awe!

Tomorrow, good Friday will mark an anniversary of me giving up cigarettes.  I loved to smoke…I had been praying He would make me willing to be willing to quit because I was NOT!  On the palm Sunday before, I was unable to take communion because I heard Him ask me if I had repented of my sins…I had confessed the sin of smoking, but NEVER had repented of it…my spirit was grieved and I knew it was time.  That Sunday I decided I would surrender them the following Friday, good Friday.  As I nailed them to the cross, I had faith that He had something even greater for me!  I was scared, but kept hearing “it is finished.”  Now looking back I see where He took them and replaced them with my greatest desire!  To serve Him full time!  Wow God, wow!
