Today The Holy Spirit reminded me of an allegory He gave me once, of a large plant that had outgrown the small flower pot in which it was originally placed.

This beautiful plant was created to grow wide and high in stature, but the size of the pot confined it and hindered its growth.

The roots then became what is called “root bound.”  Root bound, is when the roots have grown too large for their container, causing matting and tangling, until they become strangled and restrained.

I was thinking about those roots wrapping around one another, and how the plant could no longer drink properly because the root tips are the part that takes in the water.

The plant could no longer hold water and there is no room to add more soil.  The only answer would be to transplant it to a larger pot, because if it stayed in this pot long enough, it would eventually die. In order for this plant to grow to its full potential it would have to be uprooted and replanted.

The LORD is showing me that some of you are restrained just as that plant is.

You have been stuck in the same place spiritually and are not moving into your full potential.

Jesus wants to bring you to a broader place, but you must be set free from being root bound.

You need to allow The LORD to uproot you from the confines and the restrictions that you are in, and replant you in the place where you will flourish and grow.

Once you are replanted, you’ll begin to recognize the freedom He has for you.  Some of you are bound by religious traditions and enslaved by the doctrines of man.

One time I was at a huge conference and they had prophetic teams prophesying over the attendees.

One man prophesied over me that The LORD wanted to take me out of the constrains I was in and bring me to a new place.

He said “Just as a baby grows, it no longer needs to be confined to a crib or a playpen, but it is set free to discover a new life.”

He also said: “I see a “Seer” anointing on you.  The LORD is going to open your eyes to a new realm and when you leave this conference you will never be the same.”

That was 100% true.  The Holy Spirit opened my eyes and I received so much revelation at those meetings.

The LORD’s Plans are not only to set you free and release you from all strongholds, but also to advance you to a higher place.

Don’t allow anything to restrain you from pursuing what He has qualified you to do.

Refuse to allow anything to hinder your spiritual growth.  The LORD has created you to be a Sequoia tree, not a Bonsai tree, but you are limiting yourself.

Don’t let spiritual stagnation keep you from moving ahead to the greater life.  He desires to set you free with a purpose and a plan to use you to set other captives free.

Allow Him to bring you into the place where you will be able to grow and prosper.  As you do, you will be able to discern His ways.

The Kingdom of God is about expansion!

It’s time to break out of the old pot and be replanted so you will no loner be limited to the confines of your mind.

Stagnation will only bring death to your vision.  Don’t allow people to keep you small, it’s time to branch out into all you have been created to do.

Release the old mindsets of doubt and unbelief and be free to walk with Jesus in Spirit and in truth.

Your circumstances will no longer control you, and manipulation will no longer rule you.

His Word of Life will keep you from decay.

His Word of Truth will keep you from denial.

His Plan is not merely for you to survive; He has called you to thrive in everything He created you to do!

“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited.”   Isaiah 54:2-3.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage”   Galatians 5:1.

“For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.  For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.  But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”    Hebrews 5:12-14.

 

Blessings in Christ Jesus,
