Open Hands

My child,

In this season I want you to come to Me with open hands. You have to have open hands in order to receive all that I have planned to give you.

My child, this requires that you have to let go of things that you are currently holding in your hands. You can’t receive new things if you are holding on to old things.

My child, let me examine your life and show you what is no longer worth holding on to in this season. Are you holding on to control, past successes, relationships or old ways of thinking and problem solving? You won’t be able to move forward if you don’t let go of those old things. 

Beloved, when you lay down what you are holding in your hands right now, you will receive something immeasurably better. Am I not the God who gives generously to His children? Am I not a God who knows what is best for you?

Trust Me, My child, that I will not disappoint you when you open your hands and let go of what you are holding onto right now.

Application: Sit quietly before the Lord and look at your hands in the spirit. What are you holding onto right now? Ask Jesus to show you what He wants you to let go in this season. Place everything that He shows you at His feet and let Him take care of it. Then ask Jesus to give you something new for this season.

2 Corinthians 9:8 (NLT)

And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP)

Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him and He will make your paths straight and smooth.

Matthew 16:24 (NLT)

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross and follow me.”
