[00:00:01] Hello, this is Russ Walden with father's heart ministry, and this is the daily prophetic word the father says there's a battle going on on the inside of you, a struggle between control in the natural and surrender to my spirit. You want to implement changes you think will fast track you to the middle of my will, but I say to you, pause and just enter into rest. For that which I'm doing, beloved, is beyond what might seem obvious to you, or to others, for that matter. You've had a deep desire to chart your own course, but you've also noticed that this clashes with the gentle tug of my spirit to release the reins and allow me to be the architect of your blessing, favor and destiny.
[00:00:54] When you sense the pull of my spirit on your heart, just relinquish your direction and plan and move forward toward that which I'm nudging you toward. Whether it makes sense or seems to be connected to what I've promised you or not, the human will by nature pulls away. But beloved, this is the dance of surrender, an invitation to relinquish your tightly held plans. It's a new step you must take in this season in order to move into a deeper partnership with my kingdom than you ever knew before.
[00:01:29] So have no fear, says the father, for I'm not deconstructing your vision. I am clarifying it beyond that which you've understood or experienced, and the end result will be far more than you could ever realize. So it's not a surrender of defeat, but a surrender of trust. Trust that I am the one who sees the big picture, who is revealing secrets and hidden things that you need to know, hidden things from the foundation of the world. And I have a far more beautiful design for your life than you could ever imagine or ever orchestrate on your own. Surrender your agenda, your timelines, even your dreams. Lay them at the altar and say, lord, not my will but yours. Be done. And as you surrender, a profound peace will wash over you. The striving will cease, replaced by a quiet confidence that you are being led, one step at a time, into highest heart's desire and greatest dream fulfilled. So expect unexpected opportunities, divine appointments and open doors that no human effort could have engineered. This is the adventure of walking by faith, where the unexpected becomes the miraculous and the miraculous becomes commonplace. In response to your life of faith, God bless.
