As I was praying, I heard God saying, “Beloved, allow Me to fine tune you in this time, and to focus your aim upon that which I have in store for you. For I desire to streamline you in this season, so that you will go forth in the right direction. For as you listen to My directions, I will be the power behind you. Come to Me and allow Me to remove anything that is not in My plans for this new season of your life. For I will remove any extra weight that you are carrying in this time, so that you can be released into the freedom of what I have in store for you. So, come to Me and surrender yourself to Me, allowing Me to form you and to focus your aim on that which I have in store for you. Go forth, knowing that I will be with you and I will be the strength and the power and the driving force behind you.”
Ephesians 4:22-24 – You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Hebrews 12:1-2 – Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us, [looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work].
Let us allow God to align our focus with His plans for us, being streamlined by Him.
