Right now, I am asking my people to push beyond the lines which surround them. When I look at many of my beloved ones, I see them carefully relying upon four or five of the same crayons, carefully keeping within the lines on the page before them. But at this time, I am breaking off limitation and containment as I encourage my people to colour outside the lines!
It is a day to recognize that many of the things which hold you in place and stop you from pushing further are not of me. It is not my intention to keep my people boxed up and tucked away. But there are false limitations and containment that many of my beloved ones are living under. It is my passion to see these lines of containment pulled away and people pulled afresh into a space of possibility and freedom.
Push beyond the lines that surround you; why settle for 4 crayons when I have a whole box for you to play and create with! Come and play with me, the one who loves and delights in you. Let me reawaken your wonder and curiosity as we push beyond what has been and into something new.
Activation: Ask Holy Spirit to show you where there are lines or boxes of limitation active in your life. Perhaps it’s a label that has been placed on you, how you define your purpose, or a lie that was planted long ago. With the revelation that Holy Spirit reveals to you, spend some time in prayer to break any partnership you have made with these limiting beliefs (both intentionally and unintentionally). Then, envision yourself colouring. Ask Holy Spirit what new colour there is for you to play with. Why that colour? Spend some time in prayer and thanksgiving for God’s care and love for you.
Revelation 4:2-3 (NLT)
And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones – like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow.
Psalm 118:5 (NIV)
When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place.
