Position Yourself (Part 1)
When you look at your life, I know that there are areas that you feel unfulfilled; dreams not realised, debts not paid, family not reconciled, calling not recognised. You have found uncertainty and doubt creeping in – you want to trust me, but it feels like things aren’t changing.
You lift your hands in worship, but a part of your heart feels stuck and full of sorrow. You speak my name through tears that you won’t let fall. You counsel others while feeling lost Yourself. Dear one, know that I love you too much to allow you to continue to walk in anything other than my fullness. In order to move forward, you must first acknowledge that your spirit will always need My Spirit – the very nature of your humanity is that you are spiritually bankrupt without the inheritance that is yours through Jesus.
Position yourself in surrender. Allow my Spirit to move through the parts of you that have felt stuck, sorrowful and lost – open yourself to me in ways that you never have before. Know that in your humanity, as you recognise Jesus’ sacrifice over ALL that binds you, you are released into the victory of my Kingdom in all its fullness.
Activation:
Position yourself in a posture of surrender – on your knees if you are able. Take some deep breaths, and allow Holy Spirit to bring to mind the areas of your life that you have found difficult to release to him so far. Recognise that Jesus’ death frees you from all sense of unfulfillment – you are released into the victory of the Kingdom, and into the fullness of life. Ask Jesus to restore to you the joy of your salvation – as you release sorrow, receive joy.
Psalm 51:6-12 (NASB 2020)
“Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness, let the bones which You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not
take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.”
Matthew 5:3 (NIV)
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
