There are times in our lives when we need to hold on and there are times when we need to let things go. Times and seasons for unloading. In 1 Samuel 31:2; Jonathan was torn between his loyalty to his spiritual brother David he made a spiritual covenant with, and his biological father, King Saul, which he had a physical covenant with.
When Jonathan followed the flesh instead of the spirit, early death came to him. He could not discern what to hold and what to unload. This is a good lesson to learn from. You must realize that before there can be a filling, there must be an emptying. How can God fill you, when you're already running over with "self". God can not give you solutions when you are clinging to your problems and refuse to unload them. "Ooch! Lord I hear You load and clear!"
I've been boiling and stewing over something for about three days, and God spoke to my spirit convicting me of the situation. There are times I have to unload the assignments I cannot accomplish by myself. There will be burdens that I must release to future generations. Over in 1 Kings 19:15-16, God told the prophet Elijah to do three things, but he only accomplished one. God passed the remaining assignments to Elisha, and he felt the burden of three generations during his ministry.
So in my frustration, I had to realize and except that things are timely or timeless. God speaks both into our hearts. My my job is to know what to unload, what to fulfill, and what to pass on. There will be times in our lives when we must unload, stop trying to go ahead of God and make things happen, we get outside His will when we do that. We must learn to simply get with God, rest in Him, worship Jesus, and walk in the Spirit. Cultivate an intimate love relationship with Him. Serve Him.
In order for God to ignite and infuse last day power, we must first learn to unload some things in our lives. God may be waiting for you to get rid of some things to make room for Him, and more of Him! He asking, "Do you love Me more than any problem or position in your life? Are you focusing on Me more than the distractions in your life? Am I greater than every failure and disappointment you have experienced? Come rest in Me. Come learn to discern My season for you.
It's time to lay aside every weight, distractions, and lay aside the sins that so easily entangle you, and choose God (see Hebrews 12:1). It's time to take your mind and your mouth off of "you", "your" problems, and shift your focus to the Most High God. This is the first step to igniting the power of God in your life.
Be blessed!

Whoa.... that is so the season we are in. It's like the next level in which God is calling us to. Basically saying....do you trust Me? If you don't then your calling Me a liar. Wow thanks for your amazing insight!
