The Power of Release

I so need this. I have much work to do on myself. I wanted to share what I need to work on for myself.

God Bless.

“Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

When you are set on fulfilling God’s purpose for your life, you must remember to release people and situations to God. Why? Because it will destroy you and will hinder your spiritual progress if you don’t. Obey God and release them. You can’t free them by your power. You can’t deliver anyone in your own strength. You can’t change anything about that situation by yourself. You can’t, but God can. And if anything miraculous is going to happen, it’s going to be by the power of God’s Holy Spirit. Don’t take upon yourself a responsibility God didn’t give you. Don’t worry yourself trying to figure out what you can do to save them. Do only what God tells you to do and then release it to Him. I know it’s tough, but you must know that God cares for that person AND for you. Give it to Him and stand back and watch Him work.

God is saying by His Spirit, “I will do what I promised. I will save you and your household. Trust Me. Entrust them to Me. I can go where you can’t. I can see where You can’t. Nothing is hidden from Me. I need You to release them to Me. Give it all to Me and You will see Me demonstrate My love and My power in ways You can’t imagine.”

Prayer: Father God, I thank You for speaking directly to my heart. I care so much for the people in my life and I want to see them experience the life and freedom that I am experiencing in You. I exercise the power You have given me through Jesus and I release them by faith into Your care. Because I am well acquainted with Your love, I know You got them. I trust You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Challenge for You: Make a list of every person you are carrying on your heart and are worried about, and go down the list and say, “Lord, I release ____(say their name)___ to You. I entrust them into Your care. Have Your way in their lives. In Jesus name.”
