The Power of Release

-
"Giche Manitou [Great Spirit] will accomplish that which concerns me; Your [unwavering] lovingkindness, O Great Spirit, endures forever— Do not abandon the works of Your own hands."

The clenched fist is the international sign of anger. Everyone understands when someone clenches a fist at them. Have you noticed though that when a fist is clenched, nothing is able to get into the hand? What happens when we release control of the clenched fist? It opens. An open hand is more relaxed. Think about when someone gives you something, your hand is open, you can receive, and at the same time you can give. 
Our relationship with the Great Spirit is much the same way.  Great Spirit wants to give you good things, but too often we have not released control of the dreams to him. Don't get me wrong, we have to do some work, we can't just sit back on the couch and think our dreams will happen or that problem will solve itself. We need to take a step of action, the diligent prosper, but once we have done what we can do we should release control to the Great Spirit who can bring the rain, can line the right people up, and can give someone supernatural insight or wisdom to help you. 
I have been learning the power of release. Releasing what I cannot do and taking care of what I can do.. Remember, YOU + GREAT SPIRIT = MAJORITY.  If you can put some form of release into practice today, I believe and declare you will live more at peace and see the Great Spirit show up and show out in your life. 

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
GREAT SPIRIT, WHOSE VOICE I HEAR IN THE WIND, Thank you for the opportunity to do your will, to be the miracle to all of creation, to bring hope and change the atmosphere where you plant me. Today I release control and give you my dreams, desires, struggles, and storms. Thank you for being on my side. Thank you for your favor, your wisdom and your love. Thank you for the beauty of creation.  By the Lion's Mane, Let this be so.

The True Sign of Maturity

[A Year with Aslan, Lewis, 2010] "Aslan, Aslan, dear Aslan," sobbed Lucy, "at last."     The GREAT LION rolled over on his side so that Lucy fell, half sitting and half lying between his paws. He [Aslan] bent forward and touched her nose with his tongue. His warm breath came around her. She gazed up into his large, wise face.    "Welcome, child," he said.    "Aslan," Lucy said, "you're bigger."    "That is because you are older, little one," answered he.    "Not because you are?"    "I am not. But every year you grow you will find me bigger." What does it mean to you that each year you grow, we discover the Great Lion to be bigger? A PRAYER FOR TODAY GREAT SPIRIT, thank you that each year we live you become bigger on the inside of us. Thank you that the Great Lion grows bigger and more powerful in and through us every year of our life. Thank you for giving us the wisdom to see your mysterie...

“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16, NASB) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria When people hear the story of David and Goliath, sometimes they think, “That was all God.” And yes, in a sense, it was all God; but God didn’t sling the stone. David had a role to play, too. God gave David the skill that he had to develop in order to be prepared for that defining moment. Like David, God has put skills inside of you so that you can slay the giants in your life. You have the skills that can open new doors, skills that can lead to an abundant life, but the key is that the skills have to be developed. Every day that you spend growing, learning and improving, you’re getting prepared for that new level. Today, while you’re waiting for that new opportunity, start sharpening your skills. Study your boss. Study your manager. Learn that position. Be able to step into their shoes. When God sees that you are prepared, then He can ...

You Get What You Think

“The fears ….. will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.” (Proverbs 10:14 NLT) Our life will always move to what we think about most, which is why it is so important to guard your mind. If you are not careful you can think about only negative things and you become a negative person. Have you ever been around that person who only has the news channel on in their house? They are always talking about how bad things are, how things just seem to be getting worse, the world is coming to an end. That person over time, if you take notice, will become a very cynical, negative person. Why? They were moving toward what they were watching and thinking about.  We also know those people who let their fears take hold of their life, “My car is going to break down this week, and I just know it”or“I knew we wouldn’t be able to go on that vacation, I just knew I would get downsized.” What happened? Your fears were fulfilled. ...
