Release What Is No Longer Useful

The Lord had been speaking to me about clearing the clutter out of my work space  and getting rid of old things, and getting my house in order, and I was praying over what He wanted me to do when He began to speak this word to me.

Tell My children the time has come for them to release the old and step into the new I have for them. Many of My children cling to the old in their lives because they fear loss. They fear regret, and they fear doing without. They are not trusting Me, the Holy One of Israel, for all things as I desire for them to do.

My children, do you not know the lateness of the hour? Do you not know all I have called you to accomplish in this hour? Do you not see that you cannot move forward while clinging to the past? You must release what is no longer useful in your lives to Me.

Trust Me to complete the good works I have begun in you in this time. Do not stand idly by, but do not fear either. Walk hand in hand with Me and I shall accomplish all I desire in you.

Many of you are in situations I did not intend for you, which are of your own making. Listen carefully for My voice and leading on how to proceed, that I may bring you to a place of fullness of purpose and blessing.

Matthew 9:16: No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

Luke 5:39:  No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

II Timothy 1:7:  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Phil. 3:13:  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Luke 9:62: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Leave the Past Behind

God is saying to His people – “Let go of the past My people, for there is now no time for looking back and did I not say in My word that he who sets his hands to the plough and looks back is not worthy of Me? I am moving you forward at an accelerated pace and there is no time to waste on things that have already been, things you cannot change. Let go – let go and let me move you into all that I have for you.”

This year will bring many changes into your lives and some of those changes may not be positive in your eyes but I shall work them all together for your good, and for the good of My kingdom. You must be standing ready to obey My every command if you are to be used in My kingdom. You must throw off the grave clothes of your past and move forward in My anointing. Move forward, My people – take your eyes off of what has been and can never be again. Loose the bands of pain from your past and let them go! Command the enemy to stop tormenting your minds with painful recollections.”

Luke 9:62: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Philipians 3:12: Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Luke 5:36:  And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.

....37:  And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

....38:  But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.


....39:  No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
