We have to want the new and allow the Lord to move out the old. I was helping a friend move today. She had a bed that was over 20 years old. She was holding on to it and did not want to sell it, though she had no place to store it. It represented the “thing, things, and or her old life” she had and could hold on to. It represented her past, which was broken like so many of us who are reading this.
When we are in between the old and new, we can sense what is familiar to us and stay in a pattern of limbo or worse yet, stay stuck in the past. But folks, when I looked at the furniture, it was in terrible shape. It was beyond repair and time to give it away or sell it. This was a revelation to me. Often when we are stuck in the old, we don’t know we are stuck, but people on the outside can see we are stuck. This is what I saw today. I could see as an outsider the true condition of the bed and bedroom set. This is what we need. God can provide this spiritual vision or people who are close to us can call a situation for what it is. Even my husband told her to let it go. Letting go of this object is a big step of faith. I believe that she is getting a new life and second chance. I ask God to give you revelation right now. If you want to move on in God, you have to have the new song. Out with the old and in with new, I say!
If this is what your life looks like, you need to let it all go and ask the Lord to give you a new song, a new life. Again, I invite the presence of the Lord to fill our homes, our rooms, our hearts, our minds, and our souls with new life. Will you join me? For some, this will be a difficult and frightening to consider. Our flesh resists the moving of God, and if God is moving, He is moving on our behalf. Our feet have to be willing to go, or we will be stuck. This means letting go of things, stuff, positions, etc. It's time!
