Freezing up!

As I write this I'm in a condo house at the beach. Now normally this is supposed to be a fun experience and extremely relaxing... and so far it has been... the only problem is that our A/C is out. As I sit and type this I'm sweating profusely. It's 82 degrees in the house. Here's what is so strange though... it's because the A/C is frozen. How is it that something supposed to get me cool is making me hot by literally freezing over?

And your mind is racing... what in the world does this have to do with me?

Everything. Did you know that inside of you is everything you need to be able to dramatically cool off your world? God has put a gift inside of you to be able to pour refreshing into the world around you... here's the problem ... you're frozen up. At least many of us are. We are so focused on ourselves... the components that keep us cool that we have locked ourselves down. I have seen ministers who became so consumed with what God was doing inside of them that they refused to go "OUT"! I'm glad that you have the coldest and most refreshing revelation inside of you, I'm excited that you are a terrific machine that can cool almost anything... but let me tell you... if you don't release the air out of yourself you will freeze up! The problem is a lack of freon.

Many of us have great revelation, great wisdom, and great ideas... but it's the ability to release the revelation without freezing up. Freezing up is not just freezing up in your message delivery. It's freezing up because you don't know how to release to other people what is on the inside of you. Maybe you don't trust people, maybe you don't know how to activate them, and maybe you think you are addressing them but you aren't seeing results. Anything that exists for itself will eventually die. If you are not existing for other people to not only receive nourishment, but also to receive empowerment then you are headed toward freezing up. If you get bogged down inside yourself and you are not passing off the responsibility inside of you then you are freezing up. And before long you will exist only for yourself and will be completely locked down.


So here's the goal. GET FREE-ON. Get free of your dependency on yourself... learn to trust your team. Get free of your paranoia and arrogance that only you can do great things... Get free of your internal focus and focus on how to best deliver what's inside of you to other people... both refreshment and also empowerment. Activate your team, let go of your grip on all the power, and TRUST GOD... and other people!
