In all of our asking,seeking, petitioning, and begging God to do this or that, give us that or this, and to "move" one way or another way, we often get in the way of the "Way", and hinder Him from manifesting the very things He delights in accomplishing for us, because He still delights in the prosperity of His servants, and He yet gives good gifts unto men. There is a much overlooked clause in apprehending our desires from the Lord, and it's really so simple , it's "difficult". We have to give God and the blessings, answered petitions, and manifestations "PERMISSION"! We usually "say", and make ourselves believe we want certain things, but we will say or do something so contrary, and counter productive, that we sabotage the hand of God moving to accomodate us! We claim to "want the "anointing", but we won't "LET" God process, prune, purge, sift, ,thresh, prove, and groom us! We say we want God to move in our marriage and bring order, restoration and solidarity, but we won't get out of His way, or "LET" Him deal with that rebellious ,cantankerous "heathen" of a mate, instead, everytime the Lord begins to chasten them or attempts a work of "brokeness", we sanctify a fast and go into travail, so that God will lift His hand of chastisement up off of them! We "say" that we desire the Lord to perform a complete process in us, but we won't "let" PATIENCE HAVE IT'S PERFECT WORK IN US! The very earth was created and fashioned BY PERMISSION, because in the beginning, when the earth was still void and without form,and God became of a mind that He wanted to establish the world, intricately, and with precision., He said "LET" THERE BE"!, and it was so! "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. AND GOD SAID " LET THERE BE LIGHT, AND HERE WAS LIGHT"! (GEN. 1:3-4) AND GOD SAID,"LET" THERE BE A FIRMAMENT, AND DIVIDED THE WATERS WHICH WERE UNDER THE FIRMAMENT FROM THE WATERS WHICH WERE ABOVE THE FIRMAMENT". And God said "LET" the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place"!, And God said"LET" the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree"....... If God Himself created the earth BY HIS OWN PERMISSION, how much the more, should we discipline ourselves to "LET", God do, "LET" God "Be" and "LET" God manifest? When Christ encountered the man who had been bound by an ifirmity for 38 years, He said to him, "WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE?", thereby, virtually, asking for permission, to grant his miracle. Yes, God is most certainly sovereign,but He forces no blessings or miracles upon anyone! We spend many a day battling some form of mental attack, or mind binding demons, when the Lord has made provision for these afflctions, and all we must do is to :LET" this mind be in you,, that is also in Christ Jesus! Give your mind "PERMISSION" to get and be right! We are often overwhelmed and bombarded by all manner of tribulation, and we begin to exalt he enemy over the Omnipotence" of God, when all we need do is to "LET" God arise, and permit His enemies to be scattered! We go through life afraid of another man's opinion, allowing their judgement or influence to alter and determine our steps, like we are believers without an Advocate, and all that is required is to "LET" the high praises of God be in your mouth, and a two-edged sword in our hand! We believe everything that the devil and his own "mama" suggestively speak to us, when we should "LET" God be the "TRUTH", and every man a liar! We are so very doubleminded, and indecisive,and so we backslide "quarterly", or "slip" like clock work instead of having the wisdom to "LET" our moderation be known unto men! We have such a predisposition, due to our Adamic nature, to be in control of everything that we forget to give God permission to be the God that He is and to sit our sanctified hips down, and "LET" God excel in His Excellency, as the ONLY WISE GOD,Who is well able! Interestingly enough, when we were yet, on the other side of salvation, there was a whole lot of "LETTING" going on, because we "LET" fornication consume, us we "LET" somebody give us as many "shot guns" as we could inhale, we "LET" as many strange bodies as we could handle , "handle our bodies". We "LET" somebody convince us to cheat on our income taxes, and we "LET the devil have His way with us. I saw on T-V once something very interesting about "vampires", and that being ,that the only way this monster could enter people's homes, and bite them, was if they invited him in, opened the door or "LET" him! What do you need to "LET"? You need to "LET", give permission to, trouble be escorted out of your life! You need to "LET" or permit doubts and fears flee! You need to "LET" God perfect, settle, establish, and strengthen you! You need to let that '"deadweight", and yoke of bondage be severed, and cast into the fires of destruction. You need to be still, and serve in humility until the appointed time, and "LET" He Who has begun a good work in you,perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ! You need to "LET" go of those strongholds, familiar spirits, excuses, and hinderances so that God can "LET" you be used by Him or propel you to greater heights of His power, until Shiloh comes!
