I woke up this morning with the vision of "KEYS" dangling over me. My first thought, Oh Hallelujah, I'm about to get blessed with a car. Well that thought dissolved quickly when I heard the Lord speak to me about OUR POSSESSIONS and how much value we place on them.
He reminded me of how excited I was when I PURCHASED my first home, and my first BRAND NEW car. How well I remember the pride and sense of accomplishment I felt, especially at such a young age.
As I reminisced, the Lord asked me how much VALUE I placed in my possessions. So I thought about it, and in fact had to admit, I HIGHLY Valued my stuff. I worked hard for the things I'd achieved, and wanted to take extreme care of my "valuables". He asked, "Would you trust just anyone with the KEYS to your home or your car. My answer "Heckie No"
From past experience, I KNOW He's going somewhere with this, so I continued to listen as He said: Think about the emphasis, care, concern and even LOVE you had for your material possessions. I did that. Then He said, Now compare that to the emphasis, care, concern and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE I have for you, because YOU belong to me.
After I thought about it for a few moments, I began wiping the tears from my eyes. I recalled a former time in my life, where I've cared more for things I PURCHASED, than I cared for myself.
I shared with my group Connect2Success I initially thought this message was for my other group Sis (Sisters In Singleness) International. I was assured this message was for EVERYONE, especially embarking on not only a NEW YEAR, but a NEW DECADE.
This is a very pivotal time in history. And I want ALL who read this blog to be PREPARED for the SHIFT that's about to take place. So I'm going to ask you to ask yourself:
1. Who's in the Driver's Seat of YOUR Life?
2. Which KEYS have you RELINQUISHED CONTROL, and to WHOM?
3. Are you DRIVING your own Direction?
4. Are you allowing God to LEAD and GUIDE you to YOUR DESTINY?
Now there may be "politically" and "religiously" correct answers to most of these questions... but I need you to move BEYOND the surface and the superficial and conduct an exhaustive self-examination. I need you to LOOK DEEP!
I’ll be back tomorrow to conclude the revelations I uncovered, in the meantime, Ask yourself the questions in private and be brutally HONEST with yourself. These questions are for YOUR Elevation, and not to prove anything to anyone.
