Deliverance Is Near
By Leigh Burnett
Deliverance comes when you least expect. Especially in the middle of life's biggest wrecks. Deliverance from thoughts, deliverance from fears Deliverance from things that held you captive for years
Don't allow circumstances to take their toll. Hand them over, and give up control
Forgive the pretentious, forgive their lies
Forgive the ones who ripped you apart inside
Forgive those who smiled and just walked away. Withholding encouragement you needed that day
Forgive the ones who abandoned you
During the worst hell you've ever been through
Forgive every offense, both big and small
For your Savior forgives not one, but forgives them all. So as you forgive, you are set free. For by the Blood of the Lamb
You have been redeemed
The enemy goes to and fro, seeking whom he may devour. But God is your deliverer in this very hour. Trust in his promises, He is not one to lie. His hand will reach down and heal you inside
Do not persecute yourself for mistakes of the past. For the Blood he shed forgives sin so vast. Release yourself from the enemy's grip. For his promises are as a sinking ship. The weight you have carried shall be lifted from you. As you trust in God's promises, your life becomes new.
THE DOOR IS OPEN
"Come Into The FOG"
TEACHING
In this season we see in the natural the air is more crisp, the seeds have become dormant, and the creatures of the land are getting snuggled in their places of rest. We can see that a foundation is being laid for the land so when the season of spring comes forth the land will be ready to yeild the seed plowed in this season . Consider if the land in this season is plowing for the season to come ; should we as well.
Know the pruning of the rose in this season sets the stage for the buds of the season to come. Know in this season you shall be plowed so in the season to come anything that could hinder the seed from bearing the good fruit can be removed. In this season God will allow the rocks, weeds, and sticks that are in the soil to be removed . For in this season God prepares and lays the foundation for the greatness that shall take place in the season to come.
Consider Ephesisans 1:4 that shows us that God has had us in mind way before the structure of the land we see before us. Know that God always lay the perfect foundation for the perfect victory to come. Know that without the plowing season when the season of spring comes before you ; you will have no seed to bear.
Be mindful we are the soil , Jesus is the seed and God is the Farmer. So when you feel tugged on, separated, and the spliting of the seed ; know its just God preparing the stage for the performances of tomorrow .
