Peeling Away the Layers

Peeling Away the Layers

Every house needs to be painted a new layer of fresh paint, at least every couple of years, to make it look fresh and clean again. When you prepare to paint, you first of all have to remove the old paint that is peeling off otherwise the new paint will not stick.
Why then child, do you think that you can just put on the new on top of the old? First let go of the old and allow me to peel it off so that when you put on the new garment I have for you, you will just walk it out with grace and trembling. If you try to put on the new coat of paint on top of the old, the first time the rain comes it will start peeling and all the effort you put into it will be wasted.
It is when you let go off all the old things that are holding you back that you move forward quickly. So come now and allow Me to show you those deep hidden hurts and as you do, I will bring the healing you need. It is only when you let go of all the pain, the anger and the bitterness, that I can bring a refreshment into your spirit.
I desire for you to walk in My blessing My child, and I want to give to you so many new things, but it requires of you to let go of all these old things that have been holding you back. Thing is, you think that these old things are adding to your life, and you are afraid to let them go but the fact is, they are like dead weight on your feet.
It is holding you back and instead of flying like an eagle you are walking like a tortoise. I want to elevate you and show you things that you have never seen. I want to take you to places where you have never gone, but in order for me to do that, I require of you to let go now of what you think is good for you. Let go now and allow Me to bring the change that you have cried out for, and as the change comes you will find yourself like that house with a new coat of paint.
Refreshed and revived. It will be beautiful and attract others to you, so do not be afraid now My child, but take My hand and allow Me to strip off all the old paint from your life, and soon the new coat of paint will make you shine with My glory, says the Lord.
