I am in a place where the faucet of my life is running, and I cannot seem to shut off as the leaks that are popping up all over the place, saturating places of my life that I “thought” were patched up well. I am in a place where holding onto that one last thing I “think” I can control is beginning to cause these leaks to sprout water in a heavier capacity and I am in a place where the control I once thought I had is quickly diminishing into thin air. I am at a place where my only hope is to humble myself enough to say I am too weak to do this on my own, Lord I need your help.
I am in a place where instead of resisting the inevitable, I am going before the throne room of grace to see where the puncture originated in my pipes so I can go to the source this time and completely renovate the hardware in my life.
What I have come to realize is that the bandaids, caulking, mesh lining, that I have used to patch up the little leaks in my life, you know the ones that are supposed to fix the bleeds, the leaks, the sewer of pain? They do not work. The only thing that can get to the point of entry, even when it’s an invisible to the eye needle pinned entry, is the healing blood of Jesus.
So, as I stand in a posture of surrender, from the courtrooms of heaven I am going through a deep and thorough inspection of my temple not knowing if I will pass or not. I am self checking the areas I have on going leaks that I have seemed to monetarily patch up as I prepare myself to get smelly and dirty, as I do the hard work to get my pluming working in full leakproof capacity.
The cutting, the pruning, the weeding, although gut wrenching hard, is necessary so we can have the exceedingly and abundantly more in Christ. Today, as I seek Gods face and ask Him how many leaks I have that are slowly or even rapidly drowning out the core of my soul, I encourage you to do the same. There is no shame in knowing there are unhealthy wells of water filling you up. However, what is unhealthy is if we are aware of the ongoing spurts of water that are sinking us and ignore the warning signs and convictions. What is unhealthy is if we keep trying to press through as if we are floating through life with a life vest on so we can survive the tsunami waves without ever recognizing why we didn’t evacuate before we got taken under.
We need to see where we have dug out our own wells in our lives and be ok with walking away from the filthy, infected water we have been drinking. Now is the time to go the well in which we can draw God’s truths, promises and love from. It is time for you and me to fill ourselves with His healing and living water so we can purify and refresh our souls with all things Jesus.
Today, be still enough to hear His voice. Remember He doesn’t speak through the leaks, the fire, the earthquakes within our souls but He speaks through the gentle whisper. Go to your mountaintop today and allow God to speak to you in ways in which explosive healing takes place. Allow that dark cloud that has been swelling over you erupt with showers of peaceful, healing, and anointed rain. I know I will be positioned on my mountaintop, with arms open in complete surrender as I wait upon Him and receive everything He wants to bestow down upon me.
Covering us all in prayer and know I love you all in overflowing abundance ❤️🙏🏼
