Living Room Chat: The Heart of the Issue

One of the toughest things to do when walking in the supernatural and balancing your purpose here in the physical realm is obeying the voice of the Lord and being okay with not seeing the results. Obedience is followed by knowing that God doesn't
need us to take matters into our own hands to make sure things get done.

This is one of my deep struggles. I'm a Type-A. I form strategies and get the job done all the while striving for excellence and perfection (automatic failure right there)I have reasonable achievable goals and tools I use to see those goals through. It's a good thing, when given a job by the Holy Spirit. But, here's my downfall: When I've done my part-the thing God has asked me to do, I can tend to take matters into my own hands.

WHO AM I!? I don't formulate the plans of God! No! My job is to walk in obedience not to say "Okay God, I'll take it from here, thank you." Everyone has their own reasons for control and here's mine-I don't want to wait. If I wait I think I'll miss my chance. I like to be in control. I need to understand that there's so much reward in waiting on God's timing.

In the season of waiting, there is much refining, and that is important before I walk in the blessing. Without being refined, I will not be equipped for the next season God has formed for me. How stupid would I be to miss out on all of that.

I'm learning to let go of strongholds, I'm learning to let go of the control my flesh desires. It's a hard process!
