Cut the Ties

It is time, children, to cut the ties that bind you to the past. See? I am doing a new thing! You cannot move into the new by dwelling on the past, or by fixing your gaze on what has come and gone. Celebrate what has been for the joy that it brought and forgive where needed, but do not carry into the new anything that is superfluous.

You must be free to move; to dance, to laugh, to sing and praise with joy.

To rise up higher you must be willing to surrender all that will not serve my purposes in the days ahead.

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit to reveal to you any “ties” that would hold you back from God’s bigger purposes. These could be things in the physical and spirit. This could be unrealised prejudices you hold or even lies you believe about yourself. If you are willing, ask Holy Spirit to lead you through a process of cutting these ties.

Psalm 45:10-11 (TPT)

Now listen, daughter, pay attention, and forget about your past. Put behind you every attachment to the familiar, even those who once were close to you! For your royal Bridegroom is ravished by your beautiful brightness. Bow in reverence before him, for he is your Lord!

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT)

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
