We do not live for our dreams, our plans, our agendas! We live for His!!

It’s time to give your ego an eviction notice!

If we are the temple of God, there cannot be any other “god” in us!

There is only room for one God, the only God!

He will not share His space with another!

We do not live for our dreams, our plans, our agendas! We live for His!!

Empty yourself of you!

Not my will God, but your will be done in my life!

Let go of offenses and unforgiveness, and your need to be vindicated, recognized, and accepted.

I want this, I want that, I have this many followers, I sold this many books, I’m going to be famous, etc.

These are all things that feed the god of ego and starve your spiritual man.

Often I feel my ego trying to sneak back in, but I remind it that it has been served an eviction notice, and I tell it to leave in the name of Jesus!

Let me tell you dear one, the separation between soul and spirit, is an extremely painful process!

If you’re not ready to let go of every single thing that you think matters to you, do not even pray that prayer!

If you’re not ready to go through the most painful process of your life, quit now!

Because the weight of it will literally crush you!

We all want the anointing, and I hate to break it to you, but oil only flows through the process of crushing.

Only the pressure allows oil to flow, and it’s a slow and long process, it doesn’t happen instantaneously.

Then the oil needs to be filtered and purified.

Oohhhh the cost of the anointing!!

Only those who have been through the process understand and appreciate the anointing!!

It is an ongoing process, but it does get easier with time.

Our posture of humility and obedience makes dying to the flesh less painful.

If we don’t want to go through more pain than necessary, we need to let go and trust God through the process.

He knows what needs to be removed, He knows what is polluting our soul.

Don’t make idols of your dreams and desires, and stop trying to make things happen in your own strength.

If your dreams and desires are from God, they will happen at the appointed time, if you let go of them, they will be most fruitful!!

When you least expect it, God will make it happen, but He wants to be your priority, your number one!!

Evict your ego and welcome the pure-fire purifier!!

 

1 Corinthians 3:16 NKJ

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

 

James 1:3 AMP

3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace].

 

Matthew 16:24 AMP

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].
