The Holy Spirit brought me back
to a prophetic word that I shared a few years ago. He showed me a picture of a
multitude of people with wind up keys on their backs walking around like wind
up dolls. Each person was walking in a different direction. Some people were
walking to and fro wandering aimlessly without hope and some were being swayed
in the wrong direction. Some were lagging behind while others appeared to be in
a trance of fear. There were some walking in a circular motion not realizing
that they weren't going anywhere, just like a hamster running around on a
wheel.
But then I saw those who were
marching with determination knowing exactly what their destination was as they
were trusting Jesus. They marched on with courage and confidence. They had fire
in their eyes and the Word of God in their mouths. They stood upright, they
were bold and radical in their faith, and they were steadfast in what they
believed. They seemed to have a protective shield around them as every fiery
dart that came against them was extinguished. They were not swayed by adverse
circumstances or bad reports, but they stood on the word of God.
I asked The Lord what this meant
and this is what He showed me. Every person in the universe is walking around
wound up in different situations. Some people are wound up in worries, some are
wound up in confusion, some are caught up in the love of money and many are
wound up in fear. But then there is the remnant who are stirred up in faith,
stirred up in joy, and they continue to stir themselves up spiritually by
praying in the Spirit.
Let Me Release You
The Lord says, allow Me to unwind
you from the pressures that so easily beset you. Do not fear this dilemma that
seems to be too large for you to handle in the natural, and allow Me to release
you from the tormenting anxiety and confusion in your mind. Trust in Me to
provide all your needs in every area. Allow Me to remove the burdens from your
heart as you are entangled in complicated situations. Those of you who are
fatigued from the cares and the weights of the world, come and rest in Me and I
will restore your energy and I will revive your stamina. Take your eyes off the
circumstances around you and allow Me to direct your path. Trust in Me when all
else fails. Don't allow worry or fear to overtake you. I will release you from
this distress as you position yourself and come into the secret place of My
presence. Be bold and be strong, as you follow My leading. I will stir up and
resurrect those dreams that have faded away through discouragement.
As you trust in Me you will gain
the tenacity to be steadfast once again and pursue the plans that you have been
contending for. You will once again gain the endurance to run the race as you
have desired. Keep your focus on My Word and don't look at things in the
natural. Everything in the natural is subject to change. I am the God of
restoration and nothing is impossible with Me. As you stay steadfast in these
trying times, you will come forth as gold. I Am your deliverer, I Am the God of
your destiny and I Am with you in the fire of affliction. Although it may look
like the waves of adversity are pulling you in a vortex, fear not. Rejoice and
know that this too will come to pass and know that I will bring you in to My
plans and purposes for your life. As you trust Me, that very thing that is
coming against you will be your greatest testimony. Stir yourself up once
again, and I will bring you out stronger as you endure and put your trust in Me
says the Lord.
1 Samuel 30:6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of
stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his
sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your
God. I will strengthen you, Yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My
righteous right hand.
1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice
to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is
revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
Jude 1:20-21 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking
for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
