"It is finished!"

I had the great privilage to serve at the Get Real youth conference this weekend. It was a completely new experience to me but I was willing to jump in with all I had. I wanted to just bless others and go wherever they needed me. Little did I know God had something planned for me. It was the smallest, shortest moment, yet it was HUGE!

The speaker began describing Christ's death on the cross. In John 19:30 it reads... "Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, 'It is finished!' And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit."

Kent, the speaker at the conference, quoted this verse and when he spoke "it is finish!" I heard the voice of the Lord. I could feel it inside me, like I could audibly hear the Lord speaking directly to me. The Lord was telling me... this trial, this situation you've been laboring and toiling with, the past mistakes and sins it's all FINISHED!!! I am no longer to worry about, dwell, labor, or sort through. This chapter of my life is complete, closed and I can move on to start the next chapter. The Lord has said "I will take it, you're finished with it and I want you to give it up to me." In order for me to completely focus on what the Lord has for me next I must let go of it. I am so excited to see where the Lord leads me next and I don't want anything to hold me back.

I'm all yours Lord, take me as I am and use me for your kingdom. May I be your servant and as I surrender to your will may I walk with faith, always relying on you 100%.
