"IF THE PATH BEFORE YOU SEEMS TOO DIFFICULT TO WALK.... YOU
MAY BE 'OUTGROWING' YOUR SHOES!"

The
enemy is saying to many this hour: "Your walk with God is really
shaky and unstable. You can't seem to walk the path that has been
set out before you. Look at your shoes! Your shoes are worn out from
slipping and falling down and getting back up! Your feet cannot go
another step because of the pain. You surely have missed the call of
God!"
"THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR
WALK OF FAITH. IT'S NOT A FOOT PROBLEM; IT'S A SHOE PROBLEM! IT'S THOSE SHOES THAT ARE
CONSTRICTING YOU!"
I sense the Lord saying to many this hour: "Your walk may be shaky.
But your walk of faith is what's pleasing me! The enemy is trying to
convince you that this path is too difficult for you to walk on.
Remember, he is a liar! It's not the road beneath your feet that is
your problem. The real problem--or should I say--the real blessing is
that you are outgrowing those shoes on your feet! That is why
the path has been difficult. It's not a foot problem; it's a shoe
problem! God is about to set your feet in a larger place. In your
distress, He is enlarging you! You are growing!
"WE ARE NOW ENTERING A 'NO SHOE' ZONE... TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES FOR YOU
ARE NOW ON HOLY GROUND!"
Recently, I was in a gathering where I sensed that most of us felt like we
had gone as far as we could go in our callings, and it seemed we were
unable to go any farther. But the Lord's presence became so strong,
and He began to speak, "Take off your shoes! You are on holy
ground! You cannot go to where I am taking you with those shoes on
your feet." Shoes began to slip off all over the place.
"LEAVE YOUR SHOES OFF... I AM NOW STEPPING INTO THEM! I WILL TAKE
OVER FROM HERE!"
Just when we thought that holy moment was over and we should put our
shoes back on, the Lord seemed to say, "Be careful that you don't
put on anyone else's shoes. Don't even put your own shoes back on.
Leave your shoes off. I am now stepping into them! I will take
over from here!" This is an hour when we need to allow our feet to
be washed and anointed afresh as God Himself steps inside our shoes
and takes over.
"WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY, I STEPPED INTO MY FATHER'S SHOES BUT
COULDN'T WALK IN THEM!"
As a little boy, I once discovered my dad's big shoes and put my feet
inside of them. I tried to walk but couldn't. I sense many have been
trying to walk in their father's shoes or what their father and
mother wanted them to be, but it is just not working for you! You
were not created to walk in your father's shoes or anybody else's.
Not even your own anymore!
"I WANT YOU 'BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT' WITH MY PURPOSES!"
You have heard the phrase: "Barefoot and Pregnant!" I sense the
Father saying that to His People this hour. "I want you barefoot and
pregnant... with My purposes! Abide in My holy, secret place with Me
as I wash your feet to walk in the beauty of holiness."
"LET ME TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THOSE SHOES... THROW THEM!"
In
Psalm 60:8, David is prophesying victory over his enemies in
the midst of defeat, saying:
"Moab is my washpot (footbath); Edom will I 'cast
out my shoe'; over Philistia will I triumph!"
-Psalm 60:8
In Dake's
reference Bible, to "cast out my shoe" means taking possession. When one bought a
piece of property in olden times, he received the shoe of the seller
in the presence of the elders of Israel as a sign of change of
possession. It symbolized that the right to tread the soil belonged
to the new owner of it--the transfer of the sandal as a token of
transfer of ownership. To David, this meant that Edom (enemy
territory) would be redeemed and owned by God as a place of refuge
for His outcast people during times of tribulation.
I once was on a farm owned by a Jewish believer. He was having
problems over the boundary line of his property with someone who
claimed ownership of land that wasn't rightfully his. The Jewish
believer took me to the top of a hill. I blew the shofar, and he
took off his boot and threw it as far as he could toward the
direction of what he knew was his rightful property. We walked to
pick up his boot later, and it had landed upright facing us! I later
heard that the property, little by little, began to become his, in spite
of the opposition of the other person who was claiming rights to it!
"TAKE YOUR SHOE AND, BY FAITH, THROW IT OVER THE TERRITORY THE ENEMY
HAS STOLEN FROM YOU OR THE TERRITORY HE DEFEATED YOU IN!"
By faith, throw your shoe as hard as you can throw it over your lost
loved one, over your sickness, over your property, over your
finances, and over your prophesy.
"Over Moab, Edom, and Philistia will I
triumph!"
