God's Light still Shines

It all started when I read: “For God, who said, Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6) 

I knew right there and then that God’s light was about to shine in my heart, and it did. 

I was inspired by someone’s post about Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” 

As the post went on with expectation, we might have on another. I realized I had expected my plans to take place in someone else’s and not God’s. I knew I had to do my part of releasing my grip on that person and allow God to work in theirs instead. 

The light of God had shone in my heart. The revealing light of his presence. There is freedom in this and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. We must forgive and release people constantly because we not only bound them but ourselves as well and become useless for God. Our spirit and mind must be free from worry and anxiety. 

Now the beautiful thing it is that it is all in the other person’s camp and God’s expectations which are better than mine are on that person’s life. 

His plans are greater and better for my life than having me bound to expectation on another. 

His plans are greater and better for them as well than having my expectations rest on them. 

Release, release and release do it constantly and you will feel much better release it to God. 

You were not designed for heavy loads. God has a weight restriction for your spirit and mind as well. 

Expectations are not bad, but they may lead to disappointments and God wants us to spare us from those as much as possible. 

Our ministry on earth should be as Christians to set the captives free through the anointing Christ has given us and not the other way around. Let us not be oppressive to others but be kind. 

In conclusion and from a different viewpoint, I see God at work in my life but not as obvious as it used to be. It is more subtle.
