Let the Err Out
-----

For the last two weeks I have been praying about a vision I had. I saw a person skating on the ice. The clothes they were wearing were inflated with air. This is because they had been hurt falling on the ice and now were protecting themselves by inflating there clothes with air. The air did protect them from pain, but it also prohibited them from skating. They were not able to jump well or make sharp turns. They skated very conservatively.

I also saw this same person trying to dive into the River. They wanted to go deep but because of the air they only floated on top of the water.

This is what I feeling the Lord was trying to teach me.

Many of us are filled with errs in how we view ourselves. This prohibits us from moving in what He has for us. This prohibits us from being loved by Him just as we are, which is the most powerful place we can be in as His child.

For many of us our true identities are frozen deep within us. It was to painful to expose them in this world so we developed alter egos that could absorb the pain and not hurt because they were not really us.

He is coming with fire to melt the ice and burn the lies that keep us from Him. This will not be like the inner healing experiences that many of us have been through. The focus is not to be on our past this time, the focus is to be on Him. Let go of everything you ever thought about yourself. He is coming to impart, in a most powerful and supernatural way, His life to His children. His identity to His children, His created purpose to each child for that child.

Many of you have already felt this fire. It comes in the form of the Fathers loving presence surrounding you day and night. Let it burn to your very core. Open up to it, embrace it. This process will allow you to go deeper then ever before into the River of His love and purpose for your life. You will flow like never before.

No, the fire will not go out as you dive into My River. Fire and water exist in equal portions in My River. Because the third ingredient in My River is the oil of my Spirit. The fire to purify, the water to cleanse and bring life, the oil to bring the two together and move you in the desires of My heart.
