Tent Pegs
Beloved, many times in your day, your attention shifts focus. There are so many things that pull on your time, your energy and your resources. I want to show you a new way of living, not dependent on temporary fixes to get you through your day, but rather a place where all movement in your life is strengthened and energised by your relationship with me. Today will you come on this journey with me? For I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life, the one who sets you free!
Activation:
1. Imagine a large tent, anchored down by strong tent pegs.
2. Imagine this tent represents your life and the tent pegs are all the things you rely on to get you through each day. You may even see words above the pegs telling you what they are.
3. Now look more closely at your tent. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you, is there anything that is making the tent less stable? Are there any pegs that are loose? Are there any out of position? Are there any that shouldn’t be there at all?
4. Imagine Jesus standing with you next to your tent. Can you give to him all that isn’t right? Can you hand him the pegs/areas that he’s shown you that shouldn’t be there? Can you allow him to reposition those that are out of place, securing the ones that are loose?
5. Now ask Jesus to be the Central Pole of your tent, your central support, your security.
6. If you don’t know Jesus yet and would like to know him, pray this prayer:
Jesus I realise I need you. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I ask you to come into my heart and be my saviour. I’m so sorry for all the things I’ve done wrong in my life and I turn from them. I now put you in first place. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name, Amen.
John 10:10 (NIV)
For I have come that you would have life and have it to the full.
Colossians 3:1-4 (ESV)
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
