As I was awakened very early from my sleep I began to feel heaviness in my spirit. Realizing the Lord was tugging at my heart to get up and have a time of early fellowship this morning, I did just that. It is so wonderful to know that our hearts can be heavy and the burdens of life can be more than we humanly can handle, but when we get into fellowship with the Lord everything begins to feel alright. What a great time of fellowship I have had with my Savior this morning.
I awakened this morning with a feeling of heaviness in my spirit. I have been trying to work some things out that included many other people, ministers and leaders. I had the feeling that it was my obligation and burden to do some things that have become humanly impossible for me to do. This feeling of obligation has been haunting me for some time now and has really become a weighted burden. I have prayed so desperately about this situation for the past couple of months and had given into the fact that I felt obligated to do something I cannot possible do. But I have been made aware this morning that none of us are called to be the Savior of the world. We have been called by the Savior to participate in the saving of the people of this world and that alone is a task that we must do with a fervency of prayer.
I have been able since I have had this revelation this morning to relinquish some things to God. I have realized that I am not personally responsible for fulfilling the will of other people I am only responsible to fulfil the will of God for my life. I am responsible to do the work of a Pastor and to see to the spiritual needs of the many people who are under my leadership as well as to my own spiritual needs.
I have had a renewing of my vision and have been able to start realigning my priorities to reach my goals. It is really a great feeling that I have to be able to face a new day with such understanding that the Lord is in control of life and living all I have to do is turn it all over to Him and trust Him.
As I begin to progress in my living for God and serving Him from this point on, I want to keep my vision clear so that I will be fulfilling His will with a fresh zeal and enthusiasm so that others will receive the preached Word with anointing and power. So many people in my world face the devastations of life and feel the pressures of the world pressing them daily. When I come into contact with these people they need to feel the presence of the Lord flowing from my life. The Lord’s presence is all that can change their lives that is why I must remain freshly anointed by His spirit.
Wake me up often Lord and refresh my spirit with your sweet presence, so that I can go forth and refresh others with your anointing.
