Time To Get Out Of The Snake Pit

I Have Set My Heart On You

Have you ever had this feeling that something has got to give or nothing will ever change? Have you ever felt anger and a conviction that what is happening is just wrong? Well that is where I am. 

About a month ago, I started feeling this anger stir inside of me. This feeling of when will this end? A feeling that what is happening is not okay! In fact according to what God says, it's illegal! I wasn't the only one feeling this anger. My husband, my parents, even my Pastor, were all feeling this anger towards this sickness, and this season that has gone on. 

Now please understand that none of the anger was directed at God. He is GOOD, PERIOD. He is love. He is kind. He is my DADDY. The only thing that has been directed at Him is worship in the hardest of times. You know that He considers it a beautiful fragrance when we lift up worship to Him? It's a sacrifice of praise, a sacrifice of self and body. It's our spirit saying to our body, to our soul, you will worship Him. There's nothing like knowing that in those times, we are giving God something we can only give to Him on earth. There is no sickness or suffering, or depression or anything of that sort in Heaven. So next time that you're worshiping Him and in the natural it seems like it doesn't make sense, just know how pleased He is with you. How He loves the aroma of your love for Him.

What really blew me away was when God asked me to ask Him how He felt about everything. So I did, and do you know what I saw? I saw Jesus in the Temple when He was flipping over tables and making a whip. He was, well pissed. I even heard Him scream it! I am His Temple. I am His dwelling place. So it's illegal for anything but Him to be in me. From the foundations of the earth Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected. That means that the record of His DNA is what stands, is what OVERCOMES. His blood flows through our veins. His life was a prophetic declaration that ALL has been redeemed. Every situation, an answer was given, freedom was given! Just look at His life. Even the power of death through the killing of babies was defeated by His birth! Where did they escape to when the angel warned Joseph about Herod's plan? Egypt. The place that represented bondage, fear and pain. The Savior escaped to Egypt. Everything was undone or made new through Him! Hallelujah!

This week, God has been speaking with such clarity, probably because that's what I've been asking for LOL. I have been taking communion with the revelation that it's not just in remembrance of Him. It's partaking of His DNA, His life that He has given to me. Me (read this for you, He's personal). He died for me. He rose for me. So that I can live in HIS fullness. Oh what amazing love. All that He has asked of us, is to believe He is who He says He is. To trust Him and follow His lead. 

His lead for me is, it's time to get out of the snake pit! This seasons time is done. You can't think about the bites, just run! Remember, I shut the mouths of the lions! (future blog right there!) No more doctors or disability. Nothing fruitful will come from those things for you. It's time to LIVE. So friends, I'm swinging BIG. I am taking on the courage of Heaven and the faith of a child. I am holding tightly to the promises and the prophetic words that have been spoken from so many of you, my dear friends and family. And I am calling upon the perseverance of the great cloud of witnesses to launch me into this next great season and ADVENTURE! 

Whatever season you find yourself in, just remember that you never go it alone. You have your Daddy and family surrounding you. If you don't know who your family is, I encourage you to ask your Daddy, who is my family that you have for me in this season? Remember to keep His promises close to you. To write them on your bathroom mirror or whatever you feel He is saying will help you keep your eyes locked on Him. 

I pray this blesses you, and gives you courage to never give up, no matter what. 

For verily I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that the things spoken shall come to pass; he shall have whatever is spoken. ~Mark 11:23

  2. I have always felt a big key to getting out of these pits is what you said about the bites. When the pain and frustration of being in a pit becomes greater than the price we pay to get out we get out. I love the way that is illustrated in an old movie fav. Charles Bronson in the movie The Great Escape is very claustrophobic. He finally goes out from a tunnel in a German prisoner of war camp when he hates the idea of spending another day as a prisoner so much that he would face his greatest fear and challenges. I think it's very important that we all stand together for all of our friends when they are facing these bites. We're with you Nicole and fighting for you one hundred percent! So proud of you and trusting we will all learn from this powerful revelation.
