The Lord spoke to me this morning when I prayed asked again to be renewed in my mind, body and soul. I prayed until I got a break through. Don’t get me wrong this has been a prayer for the last ten years during the season of Lent, not an overnight thing. Like Jacob, I’d refused to let go until I was blessed, Genesis 32:26. Today I can cry out with joy and celebrate victory is mine, Hallelujah!!!
It is Holy season(Lent) a time for fasting, reflection, meditation and praying. To retreat from the things of the world and surrender to the Lord one hour to watch and pray. This is a time to let go and let God, surrendering to his will, to walk like Jesus did. All throughout the year, three hundreds and twenty-five days, I have the time to do me, as the saying goes. But for forty days it’s all about the Lord. God doesn’t need anything from me, so what I am doing is really for me to be rejuvenated and to be empowered with His authority and strength. Like going home to mama where you get the best food and nurturing possible. Sometimes we all need to go home to place where we first was loved and found security, lest we forget who we truly are and from whom and where we came, prodigal children, lol. If our parents will never turn us away and we are all sinners, can’t ever imagine God would!
It’s been three weeks I begin my fast, always like to get an earlier start and it’s been a struggle ever since then. But God held on to me when he felt my hand slipping as I always prayed. This is also how I understood that we are seeds and clay. Seed (you’re born) because we are planted to bring forth food; be fruitful. Seed also because our survival is determined by us drawing to the sun light(God). From deep within the earth we feel Him even if we can’t see. We are planted in His good ground. Even though it has been painful to break through the ground, notice nothing: no weeds, thorns and thistles can prevent our break through and ability to sprout and flourish. Clay (mold and shaped not born) because God took His hands and shaped us, Jeremiah 18:1-3
The struggle is ever so real when you’re called by God and in today’s world it is ever so difficult. Time spent with God is ever so limited because of the demands of a 24/7 operational world all about the greed for money and technology that has taken up all our time. We forget we have a God to glorify and devil to fight. No wonder so many are losing our way. But the Lord is calling for the seeds and the clays to gather themselves as soldiers to remind the world the work is not finished the end is not yet. There are still wars and battles remaining to overcome.
We are seeds planted grown and flourished, but then the enemy comes and cut you down in some ways or the other or the Lord is about to prepare you for even a greater purpose. But it takes His hands to shape and mold you. To restore you back to how you were to be. The Potter to the clay!!!
I have reason to feel victorious because of the vision I was given. I saw myself as nothing but dried up clay standing under water falling from the heavens, like that of a waterfall coming out of a mountain the water fell on my naked what looked like Manikin body that came to life. I was then given a yellow robe with a cord to dress myself in. I do understanding the vision clearly which is reason to celebrate and give the thanks. I was always told to keep my visions to myself because of what happened to Joseph for tell his dream. People will Try and kill you over a dreams and covering (coats).
