Through the Terrains with Jesus | 007
The David Within
That whole week I played the songs and worshipped. My feet planted on the ground, hands in the air, tears flowing as I began to slowly release the grip of all that was in me.
It was the last of the last grip I needed to let go of in order to be fully free from it.
But it was challenging. Somehow my flesh wanted to cling tight to these things knowing it was all it knew for quite some time, and my Spirit saying “trust me, lets walk together.”
With each tear that shed, each breath I took, each word I sang, a release was happening.
The battle we tend to fight isn’t always what we think. It sometimes is within ourselves. God takes us through these terrains when we walk with Jesus to let them go in those terrain places and leave them behind us once and for all.
It is something we can’t quite grasp to understand it in the right now, maybe not ever on this side of heaven, but we can know that He does take us through these walks in life to help us to become whole, healed, new, and free in every single part of our lives.
In order to move forward, to take the second step, we must first take the step He already told us to take.
During that week of just worshipping right in my living room floor, barefoot at times, kneeled at times, I felt this immediate strength flow from my ceiling onto me. A breath that was breathed upon me that was desperately needed. A warmth of comfort, compassion, and love that I knew I wanted and needed in this time. It almost felt like a mothers embrace but much deeper, richer, and wider.
I wanted to share with someone what I was struggling with to receive some kind of encouragement, uplifting, or even reminding of truth. I really felt I needed someone with me on this. But He simply said “No. No details.”
I picked up the phone to call who He laid on my heart and began to say I needed prayer. That I was struggling in this battle, this intense spiritual battle that won’t seem to leave. I heard Him say that was all to ask.
She didn’t ask questions. She never asked details. She simply said “okay I will pray in the Spirit and allow God to show me what and how to pray for you.”
That was that.
The Lord did what he needed in that time and provided all the worship songs I needed to fight through the battle and walk this terrain.
That is who He is friend. He won’t take us through terrains alone. Never. He takes us through terrains to equip and empower us to overcome the battle. To show the inner David within. To show, we too, can defeat a Goliath in our way. And sometimes, it may seem impossible. But when we stand firm with Jesus, knowing his hand is on our hand walking with us, there is nothing impossible for Him. No giant can stop Him from us getting through the terrain and continue our walk together.
Sometimes we will have a small circle of friends to pray along side us.
Sometimes we will lose the circle we thought we’d never lose when we walk these terrains, and to be honest, it can be darn right hurtful.
Sometimes, actually, a lot of the times, it will be just us. You and Jesus.
God shows us exactly who it is we need during this time. And He provides that in due time.
He supplies every need of ours. EVERY NEED FRIEND.
A lot of the times, in these terrains, it will be lonely. Why? Because he wants our sole attention to teach and show us that we can fully rely on Him as our friend, our shield, protector, provider, healer, comforter, source, the Great I AM.
What is He teaching you right now in this terrain?
Better yet, do you see how He is showing you WHO He is in this terrain? (How are you viewing him? As a loving father? A Protective shield? Your sole provider? Your Divine Healer? Etc.)
It doesn’t stop here friend. The journey is just beginning. But let’s keep going. Let’s keep holding Jesus’ hand as we walk this terrain.
