People run around with masks over their faces to hide their identity. We gravitate to our strengths and hope that the world doesnt see our weaknesses.
The LORD just showed how this manifests in me. I have been hiding behind the “power”. I saw this start to being unfolded when I got back and attended C3G. It was easy to say that I had a ministry that operated out of the prophetic because all of “those” people dont understand that or are challenged by that. I make them small by that and build my ownself up.
So, the LORD turns my prophetic down to low, and He puts me in places where I am totally in the natural – naked so to speak. And, I withdraw because I dont want people seeing my nakedness.
Fear is the root. Fear of man. Fear, fear, fear. Well, I am not afraid. Because, in my weakness, He is made strong, and I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Maybe, I am not the most naturally gifted guy in business, but my God created businesses, and He knows all.
So, I repent of worshipping and dining with fear.
I will make my cold calls. I will boldly proclaim what I do in the natural, and the LORD will bring me the people that He wants me to serve.
Fear is now gone. I have to walk it out, but I sense the break already. I have also seen the return of my prophetic.
Bless God. He is jealous for us. My mask has been taken. Now, my identity is in Christ just a bit more than before.
