News from Hummingbird Lake~March 23, 2012

     We attended a meeting at Christ Triumphant Church last night and received a message of "Breakthrough". Of course, being humans we're always happy to think of breakthroughs, that means we're moving ahead, right? Lane and I received the message and consider it as we do most messages. An important part of the message was that to have breakthrough we need to 1.) Hear God and 2.) Obey God's word, then we receive the breakthrough.
     Pastor Allen was bringing the word and he stressed a part of the process was to close old doors before new doors could be opened. In order to close the old doors we need to know that there is nothing in our past that we're holding onto, anything unforgiven or hurts that may cause a bitterness. We went through a physical step of going to a door, forgiving and blessing anything or anyone that may be in our past holding us back and then progressing to the next door and opening it through faith for the breakthrough we are looking for (physical healing, financial, personal, business, whatever area we are needing breakthrough in). Lane and I weren't aware of anything we were holding onto from the past, but sometimes our hearts can be deceptive so we went through the process, releasing everything to God, blessing everyone that may have hurt us in the past. We feel that we're really on the path that God has set for us, and moving along it as is His will.
     Whenever we leave a meeting we usually discuss what we heard and what spoke to us. After this meeting, we both agreed that we are where the Lord wants us currently. There seems to be doors opening for us and I'll create a separate post for that, but we feel that we have closed all of the old doors and are simply in a "holding pattern" until the time that God chooses to open the next door. Of course we get antsy sometimes and want the door opening in our timing, but what a mistake that would be! It brings to mind the idea of a butterfly that is brought out of it's cocoon too soon and it's wings are too weak to fly, how sad that would be. So, no, we'll wait right here between the closed door and the one yet to open and let our wings gain strength!
