I won't let go...

Greetings!

It is something in the air, and I am loving it...

There is a scripture in Genesis 32 that says, "But he said, I will not let You go unless You bless me!” (v.26b) This scripture reminded me of an event a few years back when I attended my first all-night shut-in at church. I had no idea what to expect. I wasn’t sure I would even be able to stay up all night. I arrived to find women there with blankets, pillows, change of clothes, and snacks. I almost wanted to turn around, but I had come this far. I felt so unprepared…here I was standing there with nothing but my Bible. I had come that night with nothing but my expectation of deliverance from strongholds that were trying to take over my life. All I knew was that God was going to do something big…I felt it in the pit of my stomach, and I did not want to miss it.

This scripture spoke to me, because that struggle…that night…was with me. My spirit fought with my flesh all night long. I felt like Jacob because I was determined that I was not going to leave the same. I wanted to be healed…I wanted to know what it was like to feel whole. I wanted it…and I was not going to let go—not until God blessed me…and He did. In ways I never even imagined. That night was the beginning of a journey in Him that I never expected, and it has brought me to a new level of faith—in Him.

I think at some point all of us question our faith, but we all have it. Maybe at different levels, but it’s there. I am feeling that same rush right now. Like there is something going on in the spirit that is taking shape in the natural. 

God is doing something, and we can't afford to miss it...

Until next time...

Be blessed
