My children, I have been surrounding you with an atmosphere of joy, excitement and anticipation of what I am about to do. For some of you this atmosphere has been seeping into your being and has started to take root in your heart. You have been preparing yourself to receive the abundance of My spirit and to step through the new doors that I am placing in front of you. Before you move through those doors, there are steps that need to be taken. You must take these steps before you can receive the fullness of My Spirit. There are walls and hindrances that need to be destroyed before you move into the next phase of your life. You cannot hold on to these things or the thoughts that come with them. You must let your sin nature and carnal actions go.
Many of you think that you have forgiven and moved on but there are still remainders of unforgiveness hidden in your heart. This must be dealt with and I am willing to cleanse you of it. I am willing to remove the grudges and the hard feelings you have towards those who have offended you and done you wrong. You have asked many times to be vindicated, but you do it with a heart that only wants to see the wrong corrected. If you truly forgive, vindication is not an issue. It is simply left in My hands.
This is the very first action of preparation and cleansing that needs to take place. Let go of the chains and the bands of unforgiveness. Let go of the thoughts, events, hurt, pain, judgment and punishment that has been swirling inside you like a tornado. Let it go once and for all, so that it cannot continue to drain or hinder you. Let Me cleanse you as you release these things into My hands and be renewed with My love and joy in these areas.
The next step is letting go of the bitterness, anger, strife, misunderstandings, judgments, and offenses that have been building up inside of you because of the events that have occurred in your life. Let go of the pain, anger, disappointment, and frustration because of things you have not accomplished, weren’t done for you or simply because you were let down. It is time to let these things go and allow a fresh breath of My spirit to flow through you. Let new life replace all this baggage that has been weighing you down.
Today, I want you to let all these things go. They have roots inside you that need to be pulled out because they are suffocating what I have already done for you. You have allowed these things to linger and it has been a direct line for the enemy to steal, kill and destroy the anointing, gifts and blessings that I have been giving you. It is time to cut this cord and pull up the weeds. You will need to do this to enter in to what I am about to do.
This next year is going to bring complete change to your life. I want you to release all this baggage and uproot all these killer weeds that have been holding you down so you are free to receive My joy, presence, and the excitement of all that I am doing. Let go of all sin. It can have no part of what is about to take place in your life. You will need this download that I have placed in the atmosphere to be able to press in and break through the doors in front of you. You need to allow complete cleansing and release of the old to take place.
It is time to sing, dance, rejoice, and be merry. It is time to receive and no longer hold back. It is time to allow hope to bloom inside of you with no more back and forth or double mindedness. It is time to step out of the fear and worry. Stop being a busybody with your own agendas and insights. It is time to let it all go and be the new man that I created you to be the moment you accepted Me into your life.
There are doors of new opportunity, blessing, promise, assignment and adventure in front of you. To be able to walk through those doors you must shed the baggage and take the steps that I have laid out before you. Then open yourself to true praise and rejoicing. Get rid of your idea of praise and let loose. Allow My spirit to flow in you, around you and take you over. Be consumed with Me and watch what I do.
It is time to lighten your load, remove the walls and step into My realm of glory. There is a newness ready and waiting for you. There is a breakthrough for you as you praise and rejoice before Me. Stop worrying about others and focus on just you and I.
Breathe in the atmosphere that I have placed around you. Allow this joy, excitement, and anticipation to fill your soul. Do not take this junk with you into this next phase and new year. Do not carry it anymore. Let it go right now and receive the freedom and open the realm of new possibilities I have available for you. Step forward and leave all the baggage in the past.
It is time to see the bright, wonderful, and exciting future that is here for you, even in the midst of disasters, destruction and darkness that has come. Receive the excitement of the promise that I made to you. That I will take care of you through it all and many signs, miracles, wonders, breakthroughs, revivals, deliverances, and impossible things will take place.
It is time to be joyful. It is time to sing, shout, and dance. It is time to be excited, for I the Lord God Almighty, the King of Kings have met you this day. I am ready to pour out blessings upon you and open the door to new realms of existence. All you have to do is let go of the past, the hurt and the sin. Release it and step into freedom and newness of life.
“See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” (Hebrews 12:15)
“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.” (Isaiah 59:2)
“For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:14-15)
“As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit–just as you were called to one hope when you were called– one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.” (Ephesians 4:1-7)
“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:17-32)
