Can you leave the washing for someone else to do?

Something the Lord has been speaking to me about recently is leaving people to do what they have been called to do and to step into what I have been called to do. The other day I had a dream of some friends whose house I was staying at and she left me to do the washing while she went off to do something else, but as she left she felt she needed to come back to me and take over me doing the washing.  It was a control issue in her life as she just couldn't leave me to do it as I was more than capable to do it.  But in the process of her doing this, it meant she missed out on the opportunity that was in front of her. God was speaking to me to leave people to do what I have given them to do and to move into what He has called me to do.  But for many of us it is very difficult to leave others to do things that have been in your arena to do; they may not do it the same or as well as you could do, but they still can are capable to do it.

But wait....its not commitment, but rather 'Faithfulness"

S omething we have been working through with in the body of Christ is the difficulty for people to commit to something and to continue in it no matter what comes.  We have found people will walk into something believing God has said it, and yet six months down the track, or when difficulty comes, challenges come, offence comes, it doesn't look as they expected, etc. that   commitment and belief that God spoke six months earlier is no longer there and we see people walk out of those commitments they once made believing God had spoken.

So does that mean I have the right to do whatever I like based on how it feels at the time? If it feels good then I will do it type thing, but if it doesn't then I am gone? This has been a real struggle for me in leadership as I have found this on a regul

In childlike faith.... I wait

In childlike faith, I have declared what I have seen. In childlike faith, I have believed that what I have seen my Papa has no problem in doing. In childlike faith I have stepped out… but found that doors have been closed - FOR NOW..... That others around me didn’t see what I saw, That finances didn’t come to do what I believed in, That people didn’t stand with me, That for whatever reason that I blamed everyone else for the state of my heart. And so day by day in disappointment of spirit, my dream becomes less to what I see in front of me, Day by day by spirit starts to no longer believe for the ‘big’ vision that the Lord showed me, Day by day my childlike faith becomes beset by conditions, “if that happens, then I will do this”. And I find the once full of faith child is putting conditions on the steps of which she takes. And yet his word says “Those who trust in the Lord will not be put to shame”. And yet his word says “Those who wait upon the Lord will
