RHEMA 12/13/07 CUTTING DOWN CODEPENDENCY
PIX: I saw some contraption that looked like a
toy constructor set that had connecting joints and bars
that could stretch out and pull back in. Whatever it
was, it was the connecting pieces between the bars that
had my attention. They were kind of like movable gears
or joints.
Heard
Connectors. Start praying for healthy connections.
HEARD: On bended knee. Felled a tree.
Character issues. Relationship. Depend on this.
Discipline.
PRAYER: Lord we ask that You will help Your
people build healthy relationships that are flexible
enough to reach and stretch out, then pull back in for
times of rest. Heal us all to find healthy connections
that just like sore joints in the body... the painful,
inflamed parts will subside and find rest from worn out
frictions. In quietness and confidence is strength.
Grant that your people come out of unhealthy attachments
of codependent tendencies where they are leaning on
another person instead of You. Please cut off
inappropriate and unhealthy attachments that take Your
place, and reconnect them to You as the Head over Your
body. Grant those who are overcoming these things, the
grace of discipline to lean on You and find rest for
healing. In Jesus Name.
Eph 4:15-16 AMP
Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all
things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly].
Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all
things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the
Messiah, the Anointed One). For because of Him the
whole body (the church, in all its various parts),
closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints
and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part
[with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in
all its functions], grows to full maturity, building
itself up in love.
Col 2:18 A,19 NKJV
Let no one cheat you of your reward... and not
holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body,
nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments,
grows with the increase that is from God. |
