A Dream


In this dream, I had moved out of my house. The rooms were empty. I had this sense of freedom and excitement- that all of the baggage was gone - and I was free. Responsibility held me back no more....I wasnt sure where I was going, but I was excited at the prospect!! I sat in my car - looking at the house...and was giddy with excitement about the future. In a mode of transportation,fueled by the Spirit of God - the future was mine to grasp.
But........nostalgia, and the comfortable licked at my heart.....and .....
I went back into the house for "one last look around".... I found myself looking at scraps of papers on the floors, reliving memories, remembering--- and my heart became heavy. Could I walk away? Could I really leave all that was?? Look at all of the known, comfortable things that I was leaving....for WHAT?? The unknown?? Was I that brave?? The nostalgia for yesterday folded over me like a heavy gray cloak....and my colors started to dim.
I woke up despondent that I had reentered the house. Sadness had settled over my heart like a heavy cloak....dampening the Spirit of hope. Dimming the spirit of Creativity. Flickering the spirit of Joy.
I know that we are not to go back in the house!! You have cleaned it and it is FINISHED!! You are being called out and moved on through the Spirit of God. Satan would have you go back in and would have you relive those memories.....don't. He would have you believe you have a responsibility to live there. Dont buy into the lie! Stay in your "Holy Spirit" car at the curb...and bid farewell to what was. Yesterday does not define you. You will be able to look back and see what was in the rear view mirror, all that was -has made your thorns into jewels. God doesn't waste a thing. He will use everything that you walked through to minister to His body. You take it with you, cleansed in the blood of the Lamb. It cant hurt you anymore - now it is your authority...you can speak into it and you can heal through the cracks in your vessel that are leaking out the Holy Spirit!! Drive on, the house has no power over you - move forward into unlimited potential and divine destinies!
It is FINISHED!!!!
