Tangled?

"He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” ~ Jeremiah 17:8

Jeremiah 17:8 describes a blessed man(woman) whose trust is in Adonai.  Adonai is his(her) security.  In the bible there are numerous references to trees and analogies that depict us as a tree that stands firm or branch that bears fruit.

As I was walking this morning, I came across the tree in the photo above.  My first thought when I saw it was "mess" and kept walking.  BUT Holy Spirit caused me to go back and take a photo.  He began to show me some things concerning its roots.  Not only were they tangled but they sprouted upward strangling the tree.  Its roost grew out of the ground in different directions - all except downward.   It look like a big ole mess!  

I took notice that these roots were not only growing upward but inward.  You couldn't see the trunk besides the dried up palms that hung over it.  

This served as an analogy of what a man (woman) looks like whose trust is in of themselves, or others rather than Adonai.  

The BREAKER

Breakthrough:
An act of overcoming or penetrating an obstacle or restriction.

There are barriers that are causing frustration, exhaustion and defeat upon many in this hour because somehow we have been deceived or lured into advancing without the Breaker!

The Breaker [the Messiah] will go before them.  They will breakthrough, pass in through the gate and go out through it, and their King will pass on before them, the Lord at their head (Mic.2:13,AMP)

Choose: PRIDE OR BREAKTHROUGH?

PRIDE OR BREAKTHROUGH? 

If you were to take a balance scale and put “pride” on the left hand side and “breakthrough” on your right hand side, which one will sit higher and which one will lean lower?
Now the deciding factor to that question is determined by how you answer the following:

HOW DESPERATE ARE YOU?

Have you yet come to the point of being sick and tired of “being sick and tired”? If so, are you willing to let go of what is holding you back from experiencing total freedom?
