Thou Art Loosed

Today's entry is coming from a summation that was done by a couple of women that attended the 2012 'Woman Thou Art Loosed' conference.  I intentionally left off "woman" in the title because there are several things that they highlighted, that will work for us all.  Also, what they have mentioned ties into what I have been writing for the past week.  When something like that happens, it is imperative that we pay attention.

Enjoy!

The 2012 Women Thou Art Loosed Conference emphasized “The Pecking Order” in our lives.  (Joshua 6:20-25). He used the illustration of a chicken. Chickens have a certain order they follow when the eggs are being hatched.  There is a birthing process they follow when hatching.  The beak is a very important part of the hatching process…..if the embryo has no beak then it cannot be birthed because he is unable to crack the shell and come out….and if he can’t come out of the shell then he dies.  God wants to bring our lives into order as well.  Sometimes it takes a while to get things in order.  Throughout this process there are some things we have to ignore in order to focus.  The beak is our strength.  When we go through trials and tribulations in our lives (and we all do) then we need our beak (the Word of God) to break through these issues.  If we don’t have a beak (the word/prayer) then we have nothing to fight with.  When the baby chicken has a beak then he begins the process of birth by pecking away at the shell in order to get out.  We must also “Peck” our way out of situations in our lives in order to be free/delivered/healed/etc.  Take your position.  “Peck” the letters in this stand for P-Position (You must get in position for your deliverance) E-Exposure (You must expose people to what you see – this may help with their deliverance), C-Courage (you must have courage to act on what He has and is saying to you regarding your situation), K-Knowledge (you must have knowledge beyond your perimeters; it must go beyond your situation).  You must read the word like a pregnant women eats food.  You need these four things in order to be used by God and be ready in season and out of season.   

Pastor Cheryl Brady talked about “You Have It in You”, which is also the same title of her book (Phil 1:5).  Pastor Brady came from the scripture about  “He has begun a good work in you”.   When God calls you to do something he has already equipped you to do it and has given you the grace to do it.  There are some things in us that we can’t even see yet.  The enemy fights us because he knows God has something in us that is powerful and we must declare war on anything that disturbs our peace.  Check anxiety quickly because it can get out of control.  Fear is not a necessary part of our lives…God didn’t give us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.  Just remember meekness is not weakness….it’s strength under control.  Real beauty comes from the inside.  God talks of a meek and quiet spirit.  To have great peace you must have great faith.  The Word is so important because what we feed ourselves and put in us today determines how we are going to react tomorrow.  Watch your self-talk because what we say to ourselves is worse than what others say about us.  We have the power to react or not react to what people say….it’s what we do with words is the key.  Look at yourself in the mirror and encourage yourself in the Lord.  The battle ground is ALWAYS internally.  Understand YOU.  God says to let a man examine himself. 

Remember and keep the faith over things you have asked God for and not yet come to past.  Remember Sarah (Genesis 18:9) and how she wanted a child and God gave it to her well in her 90’s.  Be careful because you can get to the point where you have asked for something for so long and wanted it so bad and don’t have it yet….and you can get to the point where you don’t want it anymore.  BUT wait on God.  What you have rendered unconscious God is still going to do.  Believe again….you have it in you!  You can sometimes be your own abuser.  You cannot die until you have fulfilled the gift in you. 

Lastly, Dr. Cindy Trimm talked about not forcing open what God has shut.  When we have clutter in our lives there is dysfunction.  Get rid of what you don’t want in your life to make room for what you do want.  Stop talking about what you don’t want and talk about what you do want.  If you keep talking about what you don’t want you get pity and you undermine your testimony.

Pastor Paula White mentioned when God ushers a new purpose in your life there is always a shift (Judges 5:1-11), (Isaiah 49).  Prepare yourself to make ready the change.  To be virtuous women you have to go through something…what makes you virtuous is what you are able to withstand.  Prepare to make ready…reposition…cycle…change.  Everything you need is in you.  Rise and come into your being.  YOU are not going to stay broken.  Take on Gods nature and know who you are in Christ. No matter how many times you mess up God still hears you and will deliver you. Don’t let anyone (the enemy, people) take your wealth (Spiritual).  (Hebrews 12)  Lay aside every weight that so easily besets us. God sees Himself in you.
