I need a release!

Hey fam, sorry so late AGAIN with the post, but I had to do a favor for a friend and got stuck in crazy traffic. Nonetheless, the topic for today is about RELEASE.

In this season that a lot of people seem to be in, I hear everyone saying, "Man, I need a breakthrough", "I just need a release in my spirit!", and "It's 2010, it's my year for something NEW!". I hear this so much from people, I am almost getting irritated! I am really growing weary of people saying, "I need to leave Michigan, because I feel if I leave that things will be better for me" or even this, "I need to go to this conference, I hear prophetess so and so is preaching, or Bishop something or other will be ministering. I KNOW I'M GONNA GET MY BREAKTHROUGH TONIGHT!" This irks me to no end because these statements do nothing but tell me the amount of faith you have in God and are you really tapping into God's spirit that hopefully lives on the inside of you.

I find it difficult to believe that if you go to another place than where you are currently, that things will change for you. Why? Reason being, things aren't you're issue, YOU ARE. You can go to China for all I care, but guess what, your same self will follow you right over. We always think that the grass is always greener on the other side, but once we finally get over there, we find ourselves looking back over the fence wondering what did we leave over on the other side. The issue isn't your POSITION, it's your DISPOSITION! The area we are struggling in is LACK.

Lack is a powerful spirit that will attack the areas of your life that necessarily wasn't your fault to begin with. We suffer from a lack of commitment, due to a lack of discipline and examples of committed roll models in our life. We lack knowing how to loved or be loved, due to the fact that we lacked the love from ones that should have. It's a vicious cycle, because now due to someone dropping the ball with us, we now are lacking in areas of our lives, year in and year out hoping that the turn of a calendar from December to January would make this feeling magically disappear.

Well, God has a way of dealing with those lacking areas in our lives. His Holy Spirit and His love for us! When we are FULL of the Holy Ghost, we surrender the areas of lack in our lives and acknowledge we can not do it on our own, (because often times we tried so long, and the results are the same), and we need something to fill this void. I've been trying to fill with drugs, drinking, sex, uncommitted relationships, being the life of the party, when inside you're alone, Controling others so you can have a sense of power (wanting to be needed). The list can go on for ever. The spirit of Lack doesn't come alone, it brings others with it to deceive you into thinking that, "If I can just get a release, I'll be free." or "If I can just stop fornicating I'll be alright." Sorry to tell you, the sex, fornicating, drugs, all of these were just a cover for the real spirits. Spirit of Loneliness, Spirit of Abandonment, Spirit of Rejection/Dejection, and all that come with it.

These issues must be resolved at the root and yes, sometimes they may lead you into some digging into your past, your family history, associations, etc. But that seed has been planted and has rooted itself in your spirit and if it is not taken out by the root, it will come back again. That's why we need to allow God access to EVERY area of our lives! The secret things, the things you deny, and even those things you may have forgotten. Allow God to heal, comfort, and deliver you completely. You don't need to go across the country looking for the answer. The answer is will you allow God access in, to do the work in your life that could make all the difference? I am not saying going to certain church services are unnecessary, on the contrary, I believe that are very beneficial! I just know that God can meet you at your point of need RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE! It's a measure of your faith and if you believe He will do it? God is not confined to the 4 walls of your local church, so lets take him out into the world so people can see the true power of God through you! Your release is where you are. The question is, Where are YOU in your faith?

These are scriptures that coincide with this post; I encourage you all to look them up and allow God to minister to you through His word!

John 4:13-14 (Being satisfied)
Psalm 34:18, 51:17 (requirements of our heart. Humility has to set in)
John 14:26 (comfort)
Matt 6:14-15 (forgiving those who dropped the ball)
Heb 11:1 (what faith is)
Matt 9:27-29 (You level of faith is the key to deliverance!)

Be Blessed...
