Let It Go and Be Alive

Surrender and freedom walk together in Jesus' Kingdom. Sometimes we need to  "let it go and come alive" 


The times and seasons of letting go are usually clear.  

Amazingly, these seasons of discovery come with letting go; ushering in an explosion of creativity. 

When we let go
new understanding breaks forth.

As "it" falls from our hands, heart, mind and spirit into the wisdom and love of God, 

suddenly we are filled with new understanding. 

The Lord requires us to let go first,
then he fills us with the new reality.  
Everything changes in an instant. 
Heart, soul, mind and strength see from a completely different vantage point. 
We actually experience the new and living way in a new and living way.
Letting go is a 100-xs reward encounter.

Letting old wineskins go is tough on....

The Flesh.  
Stepping into new spiritual grace, measures of faith and acts of love stretches us.  
We are amply provided for, but the flesh is weak. 
Letting go requires faith in action. 
Trusting that the Lord has something new for us in real time.
Typically we can sense it or see it just on the other side of letting go.

Peter trusted and let go of everything known to him when he walked out on the waters with Jesus.   
I believe Peter had already let go of so much.  
He followed Jesus after the great catch. 
Simply walked off with him.  
Leaving the boats, catch and nets and staring faces that followed him till he was out of sight. 
One miracle on to another along with no place to lay his head at night, Peter followed
His flesh was constantly stretched beyond recognition. 
His spirit endlessly soaring with the King of Glory. 
The flesh counts for little in the light of Glory and overwhelming Grace filled LOVE.
 

Letting old wineskins go is tough on....

Religion 
When we slip from first love and tumble into rules and agreements and laws, religion takes up residence.  If even the slightest smallest idea that we are righteous on our own or that we can perform without abiding connection with Jesus enters our heart, we welcome the earthly wisdom.  

"Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, un-spiritual, demonic. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice."
James 3:15-16 

When Matthew was invited to follow Jesus, Peter found religion clouding his eyes.  The true power of the Gospel expressed itself in Jesus.  The sick finding healing and restored relationship with the Father.  Peter, the brother who did not wander or squander the Fathers inheritance, scorned his wayward brother Matthew.   The ruddy fisherman carried some of the Pharisaical disdain for the mercy and grace of God.  Jesus went beyond his understanding.  He sought separation from the sinner, but the Master was at table with him, abiding in the tax collectors house. Perfectly comfortable with those beloved of God living outside his blessings, forgiveness and love, Jesus went where he was welcomed


 
The true way to life is in Jesus Christ.  Pure wisdom, love, mercy and grace reside in HIM.   


You’re full of
life now
You’re full of
passion
That’s how He
made you
Just let it
happen   

(United Pursuit Band)

And He
whispers to your
heart
To let it
go and to be a
light
Let it go.  
Let it go.
Let it go.
Trust the Lord Jesus and step into the new; as it falls off your fingers, out of your spirit and into the earth that is passing away,  don't even say good bye. 
Rather say hello to new life in Jesus.
