Self Storage

"Self Storage"

Several nights back I was driving back to service from running home. I had traveled along this street many times before but this particular time a sign was so vivid and highlighted to me the sign was red and said SELF STORAGE. I began to pray and ask God why of all the many times I past through there before he was high lighting this to me now.

Ok so here is where I get transparent with you the Lord has been taking me through self reflection which has not been very fun but has brought such great change in my life. These past months I felt like I had been in the biggest fight of my life. I have been in ministry for some time now and I discovered that in your own identity there is so much more to know than just who you are in Christ. In the natural I have been in a war to get my drivers license here in Alabama. Your drivers license shows who you are in the natural. I knew because the task at hand was so extreme for me to do on my own it was greater than just me it had to do with the body of Christ. Which now has me writing this article.

Last night as I past by that sign I was reminded of the previous war fare I had been in I then begin to see a vision on how we have a SELF STORAGE with in our selves. Just like in the natural people some times put things in a storage to preserve or horde things. I began to see that in the spirit in peoples lives we ourselves tend to store things in ourselves that God never intended us to store in our hearts and in our selves. There are two sides to this diagram we can store hurt from past experiences that when something comes up that looks like the time before of the hurt we felt we think it’s a attack but really it’s the Lord allowing us to see what is still in our heart we need to completely let go and give it to him. The battle has never been for us from past hurts or experiences in the Kingdom of God he’s about restoration and unity. Things we have experienced in the past sometimes the enemy will have us approach it the same way we did in the past but for every new season there is new strategy God gives us.

Today chose to let go of your SELF STORAGE so that God can begin to bring you the new. We sometimes can have a proverty mind set with the things of God not realizing it. You cant keep pushing things down in your soul thinking they will magically disappear but let them surface so you can begin to empty it out. We all have Kingdom business to take care of but it first starts with us in order to have unity in the body of Christ.


Psalms 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

2 Kings 20:5 5 “Go back to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the Lord.

Doors Flinging Wide

God Opens Doors No Man Can Shut 

We have been having such a hard time with our ac in our vehicle. We took it to the shop for what seemed like the 1,000 time. They said it was the actuator door that it didn’t want to stay open. At that moment I said God what does that mean the door didn’t want to stay open to send in the cool air to my vehicle. So the guy comes in who was checking our car and says we are going to knock on it to see if the door opens back up. I sat there and said ok God so now this guy is talking my language and immediately thought of that scripture: 

Matthew 7:7
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  

I immediately started praying and in intercession I told myself this will not be a burden on me or my family. Minutes later the guy comes back in talks to my husband and says door is open the ac is working great. I wanted to shout and jump up because the guy says to my husband I guess that Angel you have with you 
Opened the door. As I was driving away I began to thank the Lord for what he did. 

I Heard the Lord say “Doors are flinging open !!!!” with such boldness in his tone. I am flinging those doors open !!!! They are opening today!!! Not tomorrow or yesterday but now!!!

Revelations 3:8 
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

This past month we have been so pressed in every way but we didn’t give up the more the enemy pressed the more we prayed. In the pressing like a olive gets pressed the more the oils come out of it so it is with us. 

Some of you are being so pressed right now. You can’t give up you have to keep moving forward don’t stop doing the things you know in your heart God has called you to do. In the pressing sometimes the junk comes up but it comes up to come out to look more like Christ. 

I was reminded today of a time I wanted to give up I had been so busy doing ministry things and I was so tired. I remember it was in the middle of a conference. I remember waking up saying to my husband I just don’t want to go today. Being in leadership we had to be present. I went to service that morning I was the only one in the hallway sitting waiting to greet the people that arrived when I felt overwhelmed and wanted to just leave and stop everything. Not just everything at that moment but ministry all together. I remember telling the Lord I need you to show up today not tomorrow but now or I am going to completely give up and walk away from everything. The next minute everything went silent in the room I could no longer hear the worship team playing on the other side of the door. Time completely stopped in the natural.  I felt this fear come upon all over my body I could not move. Then all of a sudden the double doors of the church flung open and I saw this wind come in and then this Angel appeared. He was wearing this old leather attire on his body like an old warrior and had a sash across the front of his chest and he had arrows in the sash. His hair was curly and his skin so beautiful and perfect. I heard the I am here now you cannot give up. What seemed like hours was only seconds. 

Our friend Paul Keith Davis has this book called Angels that Gather in it he talks about how he was going through a troubled time and Bob Jones had advised him that “ The Tares of your soul are blossoming; the Lord is sending the Angels that gather them and remove them by the roots to be burned.” The book goes on to say 
The Lord was causing the base nature to begin to blossom so he would call upon his mercy and Grace for their removal. 

I believe this is the time we are in NOW !!! With allowing the Lord to tare our soul 
This is the pressing we have been feeling. Be encouraged we are not alone the Angels that gather are here!!! 

As one of our friends said one time said “Grace for your Destiny” be upon you!!!
