I have been clearing out my house – I have been asking my people to rid themselves of the weight of the things I have not called them to carry. You have noticed the big shifts, you have done the heavy lifting and I have burned away your own agendas with a call to extravagant obedience.
But I am not calling you to rest there – I am now requiring you to clean out the corners. Now the bigger things have been cleared, I ask you to notice the corners that are filled with things from previous seasons; unresolved trauma, rejection, ‘little sins’ and coping mechanisms that once served you well but are now out of alignment with me. Now is the time to be cleansed of such things.
We are shifting into a new season where weighty anointings are being released – but only to those whose hearts and lives are clean & pure in my sight. No longer will I tolerate personal agendas, false accusation or disunity in the body – my grace will be lifted from those who harbour such things. My bride must purify herself in every corner, in order to clear the way for an outpouring of my Spirit that will move through her in power; announcing my victory and advancing my Kingdom.
Activation:
Ask Holy Spirit to show you the inside of your heart; specifically ask Him to take you to the corners. Allow Him to reveal to you the things that are stuck there. Spend time with Him, asking Him to heal you from past hurts, repent where you feel convicted, and release the coping mechanisms that are no longer serving you well. Encounter His grace and compassion for you in these moments. Sit with Him as the launderer’s soap from Malachi 3:2, washing you clean.
Malachi 3:1-3 (NASB 2020)
“Behold, I am sending My messenger, and he will clear a way before Me. And the Lord, whom you are seeking, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says the Lord of armies. “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderer’s soap. And He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in righteousness.”
Psalm 26:2-3 (NASB 2020)
“Examine me, Lord, and put me to the test; refine my mind and my heart. For your goodness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.”
