Lay Down the Burdens of Your Heart & the Brokenness of Yesterday (2.1.14)

Some of My children are drowning in the deep waters of sorrow. 

What are the deep waters of sorrow? 

Deep waters of sorrow happen when My children begin to look back and dwell on what they have lost through their own mistakes, through disobedience, or by the hand of the enemy. As you continue to dwell on what you've lost, the deep waters of sorrow begin to slowly pull you away from My presence and into the realm of darkness or depression. These waters of sorrow are dry, stale and stagnant.  

They will drain the life out of anyone that is in it.

Remember Lot’s wife? 
After being told to escape, because their lives were in danger, and not to look back - Lot’s wife couldn't let go of what she was leaving behind and she looked back one more time. 

Looking back literally took her life.  
And that is when she truly lost everything. If you do not let go and stop looking back, eventually the deep waters of sorrow will do the same to you.

Come out of the past and into the future where there is vision, beauty, and hope. 
It’s My desire for restoration to come upon your life, but how can My Spirit restore and renew you when you continue to allow the troubles of yesterday to devour your dreams? Yes, I know there was pain and there was sorrow, but My Son bore that pain and sorrow for you when He hung on the cross.

Healing and restoration are available, if you will choose to allow Me to be your Redeemer. As your Redeemer, I will bring you into your future, and what was lost, will be redeemed. 

Lay it down.  
Lay it all down at the foot of the Cross and My Son will take it upon His shoulders as He did before. Lay down the burdens of your hearts and the brokenness of yesterday.  And I will send a wind of renewal and refreshing over your life.

Now, come out of the deep waters of sorrow, so healing and restoration can restore your broken spirit. Come out of the deep waters of sorrow so you can soar into a new day. Come out of the deep waters of sorrow and into this new day, for the old has passed away and I desire to make all things new. I desire to change your deep waters of sorrow and renew them with living waters. My Spirit is waiting to move upon you and manifest Himself in you like never before.
