Freedom Can Be Frighting

Day 169:"There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires."- Nelson Mandela. As we start to move into a new season we have remember God's promises for the future. Yet, the word of God and the will of God are not automatic. You can become familiar with bondage and allow it to be sufficient enough.

Moses brought the children of Israel out of Egypt. But as soon as they hit any bumps in the road they started to complain and wanted to go back to slavery. They became comfortable with manna when a land of abundant provision had been provided for them. Their shoes did not wear out and the situation became sufficient. And because they were afraid to move forward and walk into the future they died in the wilderness.

Fast forward and this could be a picture of many of our own lives right now today. I always tell people it was easier for me to stay in a bad marriage than uproot my children and instantly become a single mother. In fact, my ex told me more than a few times that no one was going to want me with two children. The cost of my freedom was frighting and it took supernatural courage to finally leave and ask for a divorce.

Making a decision to get out of a marriage where two people are not equally yoked is never easy for any of those concerned. Yet, my desire to move my life forward and to shake off the bondage of my past propelled me forward and I have never looked back.

There is a new move of God being released into the earth realm and we must recognize that we have not walked this way before. We must begin to see with more than our physical eyes. We can no longer be satisfied to live and ordinary life because we were meant to live an extraordinary life.

Focus on the Future
