" Speak To Me "

Did you know that the inability to receive support from others is a trauma response.
Yep! Your “I don’t need anyone, I’ll just do it all myself” conditioning is a survival tactic.
It is something you developed because you needed it to shield your heart from abuse, neglect, betrayal, and disappointment from those who could not or would not be there for you.
The first part of this article has excerps from a FB Post from a friend FB page, but it fit so perfectly with my message that I just had to insert parts of it.
This article I am attempting to write is probably the hardest hitting close to home message I have ever written and yet God has delt with me to do it so here goes.....
Did you know that Extreme-independence IS A TRUST ISSUE?
I honestly have never looked at it in this light until I read this article.
A huge light bulb came on and the Holy Spirit has dealt with me for days now to write this message, I know for sure it is for me, but after hearing the voice of the Lord, I am sure there are many who are dealing with this same issue.

Extreme-independence is a pre-emptive strike against heartbreak.
So, you don’t trust anyone.
And you don’t trust yourself, either, to choose people so you don't get close to anyone and you keep even your closest friends at arms length.
To trust is to hope, to trust is to be vulnerable.
So we choose to self distance in order to shield ourselves from hurt or disapointment.
It's a battle tactic created by your mind.
Fortresses and armor are for those in battle, or for those who believe the battle is coming so it is intitiated as a form of protection.

But no matter how you dress it up and display it, the truth is that your wounded, scarred, broken heart, is lying behind a protective brick wall that is Impenetrable.
Nothing gets in.
No hurt gets in.
But no love gets in either.
Neither Does God or His Love for you, so how can we share God's love if we can't even recieve it.
What A Bombshell Of Truth!!!
This hit me like a ton of bricks when I read it and I heard the Holy Spirit say, The hearts of my children have been hardened and many that have true callings and anointings upon them have been stopped dead in their tracks and will never fulfill their true calling because of the inability to put their total trust in me.
I remember a while back I was visiting a church where I was asked to sing and testify, and I did.
But immediatley after service a gentlemen came up to me whom I did not know nor had ever seen before...He told me that the Lord had given him a message for me, and I was thrilled I thought God had given him this great prophecy to speak over me...but he reached out for my hand and took it and looked me dead in the eyes and said simply....Jesus wanted me to tell you that He loves you...Truly loves you...and you can totally Trust In Him. Then He simply dropped my hand and walked away. I was left standing there totally dumbfounded as I said to the Lord quietly, Lord? I thought I knew that you loved me? Why would you tell me that? He said because if you truly believe I love you then you would be able to wholeheartedly trust me.
If you wholeheartedly trusted me you would not fear, you would know that I have you.... and I'm with you in every situation and every circumstance good and bad, you need not hold high your shield, but know that I am your true shield and buckler...
Psalms 91 says:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
²I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

Our lack of trust in people is a trauma response which also effects our trust in our heavenly Father. It keeps us bound in a cloud of fear and darkness and constantly fills our heart with doubt.
The good news is trauma that is acknowledged is trauma that can be healed.
Lack of Trust that is acknowledged is lack of trust that can be healed.
A hard stoney heart void of love is a component of these defense mechanisms, which also enables us to love like Jesus.

Psalms 31 says:

In You, O Lord, I ^[a]put my trust;
Let me never be ashamed;
Deliver me in Your righteousness.
²Bow down Your ear to me,
Deliver me speedily;
Be my rock of ^[b]refuge,
A ^[c]fortress of defense to save me.
³For You are my rock and my fortress;
Therefore, for Your name’s sake,
Lead me and guide me.
⁴Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,
For You are my strength.
⁵Into Your hand I commit my spirit;
You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

Psalms 36 says:
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
⁸They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
⁹For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.
¹⁰Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
¹¹Let not the foot of pride come against me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
¹²There the workers of iniquity have fallen;
They have been cast down and are not able to rise.

Jesus wants us to come to a place in our relationship with Him that no matter what our situation or circumstance is, we can totally relax in His shadow, knowing that He loves us enough to always work things out for our good.

To know that we can always trust in His divine providence to work in our lives and move us daily closer to our purpose and destiny in Him.

Psalms 19 says:

The law of the Lord is perfect, ^[e]converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
⁸The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
⁹The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
¹⁰More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the ^[f]honeycomb.
¹¹Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.

In essence, with all of the defence mechanisms we put up to shield us from hurt and disapointment, in reality only make us miserable and unhappy and very lonely. This is something I have battled all of my life, and some of these traits I have passed down, even though I did so not even realizing it.

Not only that but it caused me to battle a spirit of FEAR!!!
All of these things that attach themselves are the very things that hold us back, make us stagnant, and keep us from doing all God has called us to do.
When we allow hurt, rejection, and abuse or manipulations tare down our self esteem and cause us to hide ourselves in a cacoon of protective vises....we are in fact allowing the enemy to defeat us.

We are falling into the web of the enemy and sometimes we are not even realizing it.

God had to send me a message through a perfect stranger that woould cause me to question.... I had to seek Him for a long time before my own eyes were even open to see it.

That is why I feel so strong to share it with you now....
If you like myself have battled or are currently battling these things....Jesus wants to set you FREE!!!
He is our protector!!!
He is the one who will fight for you!!! We need not build walls of defense for He is our perfect defender!!!
He wants you to be able to open up your heart totally and completely to Him and allow Him to work on all of the defense mechanisms you have put up to wall yourself in not just from others but from Him as well.
He wants you to be able to totally trust in Him and know that you are hidden under the shadow of His wings, and He loves you enough to keep you no matter the circumstance that comes your way.
You don;t have to be afraid!!! Knowing and believing in His love and grace for you should be enough to make us BOLD and STRONG!!! Be Confident in BEING YOU!!!
We all have specific areas of weakness that we may battle, but it does not have to hold us back...
Jesus can use us in spite of our flaws and our personality traits that may be different from others...
There is a reason God made every single snowflake different...
He is a God of variety and His creations exemplify His character and His unique vision for making you who you are.
No we are not yet perfect, but trusting that He is working ALL THINGS FOR OUR GOOD....
MAKING US ALL HE HAS CALLED US TO BE!!!
Let Jesus Speak over you today....
Let His presence bring you to a place of surrendering it all to Him...
That is His desire for you today!!!
Hear His Voice right now calling you from the darkness of the pain, the loneliness, the insecurities...
He wants to make you BRAVE!!!
He wants to see you stand in confidence, not in yourself but in Him and His ability to make you all He wants you to be.
Yes He is still working on you and me, and we are still " under His Constructive Hand " and probably will be until the day we leave this earth.
But we can be completely healed by Jesus TODAY!!!
Do you beleive that? He can make the changes that need to be made in your life and bring you to a Place of TOTAL REST, TOTAL TRUST, TOTAL SURRENDER!!!

HEAR HIS VOICE TODAY!!!

HE IS SPEAKING OVER YOU RIGHT NOW!!!

Open up your heart and let Him do a work in you...
Holy Spirit of God fill us today!!!
Move In us Today!!!
Cleanse Us!!!
Revive Us!!!
Change us Today!!!
Not to who we think we ought to me but make us who you have created us to be from the beginning...
Like a new born babe, innocent and pure...
before we were scarred by all of the hurts and rejections and the struggles of life.
Restore Us Jesus!!!
Help us love ourselves as you have loved us and bring your spoken word to life inside of our hearts and use it to break down every wall as we learn to surrender completely to you.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
