Hidden to Released, Part Two

Isaiah 49: 2 (ESV)

He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away.

Mighty warrior it is time to leave the hiddenness. Come and line up with me for what I want to do next. I am asking you to let go of some of the things you have become comfortable in. This is a season of exposure. It is time to step forward into the light and embrace that position in faith.

Allow me to show you where control has disguised itself as security. As an arrow yield’s to the hands of the archer so I long for you to be in my hands. Control will prevent you from being fired, it will take you off course, it will slow you down. But in yieldedness you will have power, strength, focus, and freedom.

Let me show you who you are in the Spirit. Take a moment and look!  Let me show you the arrow I have polished. See as I remove you from the quiver ready to be fired.

Activation:

Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you any areas where you are holding onto control. Agree with him that this will not protect you. Repent of partnering with the spirit of control and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into yieldedness. Spend some time lingering in his presence allowing him to remove the desire for control and replace this with greater trust in him.

Romans 15:13 (NIV)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 51: 19-20 (NASB)

For He is the Maker of everything, and of the tribe of His inheritance; the Lord of armies is His name. He says, “You are My war-club, My weapon of war; and with you I shatter nations, and with you I destroy kingdoms.”1 Peter 1:13-16 (ESV)
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
