New growth & freedom comes out of repentance & forgiveness.

By
Last night I had a dream and in this dream I found myself apologising to people that I had hurt, not realising it or having the intention to hurt, but for them they had felt judged by me.   As I went to apologise to different people,  some would receive it but others wouldn't.  I realised too in this dream that some had put me on a petadstal which in fact is wrong honour.  Yes, we are called to honour but in a healthy way and we are called to honour each person, not just those in 'higher' positions if you like and because they were in higher positions people expected them to be more than they were and not make any mistakes at all and so when they make mistakes they are judged severely.  The word does say to judge those in teaching positions or leadership more severely, which is true but also we need to be realistic that people make mistakes and we need to receive their apologies just like anyone else and to forgive them and release them to continue on in their journey.

Anyway in my dream I had made amends with people to the best of my ability even though some didn't receive it and then as I went on a friend gave me some fresh salad straight from the garden for me to eat.

I woke up this morning feeling so much lighter in my spirit and free and I felt that the Lord was wanting me to share this with you as it says in the word that the things he tells in the secret shout from the rooftops.

We are all on a journey and sometimes we get it wrong.  We hurt people, we judge people - intentionally or unintentionally but we have to come into a place of humility to one another and before God and seek out the person if necessary and ask for forgiveness.  Whether that person receives it or not is up to them, but for your part you are released and no longer held accountable to the Lord for your actions as you have sought reconciliation.  "If you cannot forgive people how can your heavenly father forgive you?"
In my dream after seeking that reconciliation I was given new fresh food to eat and as I said I woke up feeling really light and I believe when we do what the Lord asks us to do, he takes us on, he gives us new fresh things, he lightens our load and we feel released and set free.

So I encourage you today, if there are people that you need to ask forgiveness from, or people you just need to forgive in your spirit do so, so that the Lord can take you onto a whole new place and level in him, one of freedom and lightness and joy and release.

Thank you Jesus for your forgiveness, help us to forgive others and to ask forgiveness if necessary from others Lord as you are the father or reconciliation, that is why you came to reconcile us to yourself.

Does your boat have life jackets?

By
Do you go out fishing on a boat without a life jacket? Do you go out on the water unprepared for what may happen? And yet for many Christians this is the state of their Christian walk, they are not prepared for what may come and so when things go wrong they have not spent the time in the word of God, which teaches them truth so that when the enemy comes in like a flood and overwhelms them, they have no where to go except down, because the belt of Truth is like our safety be lt that holds us up when the flood threatens to overwhelm us. Truth is the word of God, truth sets us free, truth brings us life and helps us discern what is of God and what is not of God. A word the Lord was bringing last night is to be prepared and so I encourage you to take the time, set time apart, go in and shut the door to distractions, shut the door to the words the enemy would try and bring, shut the door to discouragement or whatever may be coming that is trying to take your eye, the phone, Facebook, tv...

Prov 4:23 "Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life"

By
"Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me"  Yeah right! Peoples' comments and judgements toward us hurt very much and hinder our walk with the Lord and with others, but the Lord would say this morning from Proverbs 4:23 to "guard our heart for it is the wellspring of life." God judges very differently than man and we see in the story of 1 Samuel 16 where the Prophet Samuel is called to anoint a new King and in verses 6&7  "Samuel saw Eliab and thought, 'Surely the Lord's anointed stands here before the Lord'.  But the Lord said to Samuel 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him.  The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." How quickly we judge by what we see and hear, but the Lord calls us not to do that, but to look at the heart. Psalm 139:23-24  "Search me, O God and know my heart, tes...

The rats where running....

By
Last night I saw this picture where we went into this room to collect stuff with lots of other people and all these rats ran away as we came in and the stuff in the room was just all bits of rubbish now and the word that came to me was Matt 6:19 "Don't store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." It is so easy to think you are storing up treasure in heaven but the reality is that if you are wanting praise from man in any way then you are actually receiving your inheritance now. When you work for the Lord the things done in secret I believe, is what is stored up in heavenly places awaiting a time of release and when that release comes is unto the Lord, it may be on the earth while you are alive but it may also be later....

Dealing with a poverty mindset

By
This morning I had a dream and what the Lord was saying is that there was a 'begging' mentality happening and instead of believing God would give everything we needed and responding and walking in the authority that He has given each one of us. That He is our daily bread, our daily provision. Instead many of us are like a people begging going around asking for the little scraps that people or God would give. Whatever it is you need today - God is able, in fact more that ab le to do exceedingly more than you think of, ask or imagine. So I pray for you that every poverty mindset that limits who God is in and through you today would be broken in the name and blood of Jesus and that you would walk in the abundance of all that God has for you and those around you. Many blessings - Sarah. If you recognize any of these seven signs in your life, you may have a poverty mentality that God wants to heal you from: This list comes from Kris Vollotton  https://www.charismamag.com/spi...
