Release My Spirit

My Children, I want to restore your joy.  Picture children when they have a balloon on a string, and as they let it go it drifts upwards going higher and higher as the wind takes it in whatever direction it wills.  Children will often chase after the soaring balloon with pure joy on their faces and exhilaration in their hearts as they follow it as far as they can see. 

I am calling you to be that child again, to let go of the string that you have tied to my Holy Spirit.  Release Holy Spirit and watch as he soars and takes you to new heights and places.  My spirit is not a kite, where you pull the strings deciding which direction to make the kite turn.  So release Him and watch what fun and excitement you have as you let go of control and follow him, knowing that life and freedom are only found in my Holy Spirit. 

Activation: Get a balloon, go outside and release it into the air, don’t just watch it soar, follow it making this a prophetic act and declaration that you agree to release Holy Spirit and follow wherever He leads! (If you can’t do this in the physical, picture yourself doing it in the spirit). 

2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV)

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

John 3:3 (CEV)

Only God’s Spirit gives new life. The Spirit is like the wind that blows wherever it wants to. You can hear the wind, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. 

Romans 8:11 (NIV)

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
