Make room
God is able, saints, to do that which is far above what we can think or imagine! Know that He is working all things to your good, as you enter the place of plenty!
And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand and power of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a land good and large, a land flowing with milk and honey [a land of PLENTY]—to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Exodus 3:8 AMPC
The word "large" here in Hebrew means a place where there is plenty of room to grow.
I cannot help but think of Jabez's prayer where he cried out to God to increase his territory and to bless him indeed.
Jabez cried to the God of Israel, saying, Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and You would keep me from evil so it might not hurt me! And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 AMPC
This same cry is prophesied in Isaiah, where the Lord would stir up the children of His people to cry out to enter a larger place!
Lift up your eyes round about and see [the returning exiles, ready to rebuild Jerusalem]; all these gather together and come to you. As I live, says the Lord, you [Zion] shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament and bind them on you as a bride does. For your waste and desolate places and your land [once the scene] of destruction surely now [in coming years] will be too narrow to accommodate the population, and those who once swallowed you up will be far away. The children of your bereavement [born during your captivity] shall yet say in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; make room for me, that I may live. Isaiah 49:18-20 AMPC
Saints, this is a deep cry, of deep crying unto deep, and it is here where you see the breaking forth of God's waterspouts, the breakthrough of His promise! (Psalm 42:7) The place of the deep cry within the soul, whose overwhelmed in their circumstances, about to see victory as never before!
The Lord has me writing about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in my new book "The Forbidden Fruit, the Spiritual Disease," where He unfolds scripture about the incurable wound, which is PTSD. Many of us deal with some event(s) that have left an imprint of trauma on the soul. Although it seems like the healing is far away, it is closer than you think.
God allows you to see the confined prison of the thoughts which have restrained you, so that you CRY OUT, like Jabez, whose name means sorrowful! Like the children of Israel who are in bondage!
The Lord gave me a saying in the book, "You cannot see the field because of the fire." Trauma within the soul is like being in a building that is constantly on fire. However, once the event is passed, the soul still believes it's in the building on fire, and you cannot see the field of flowers that God's brought you into, which signifies His rest of Hebrews 4 and the place of promise.
Saints, consider in your present trial to refuse to believe you're in a building on fire, and allow God to shift your perspective to the fact that you're in a field of flowers, and SEE THE BLESSING! HERE IS THE PLACE OF HAVING PLENTY OF ROOM TO GROW!
Some of you are presently in a trial, where God is getting you out of a place that has restrained you, so you can be in the place of plenty and grow! (Selah)
