Today, My children, is a day of renewal and cleansing. There are still things deep down in your heart and spirit that you are holding onto that I am asking you to let go of. There are still things in your mind that need to be reset. I have begun many great works in your life. Some of those works are being finished. Some of those works are still proceeding to take place and in the working progress. But there are some works that have been put on hold because there are still things that you still have not let go of.

A lot of you My children are having a hard time letting go of control. You want to feel like you still are in charge of what is going on in your life. You need to come to reality that there are so many things that you do not have control of, and you need to let them go. You need to realize that when you try to do something in the state of mind that you do have control, you end up messing things up. This causes bigger messes to be cleaned up and delays some of the things that I have for you. This mindset causes you to focus on the unnecessary things and keeps you from really doing the things that I have called you to do.

The enemy has been using this control issue as a tool to keep your focus off of fighting him or to distract you from the battles that you really should be fighting. The enemy is not going to just lie down and surrender without trying to use all that he can against you. This is why it is so important to listen for My voice and get instructions from Me of what you are to do with things in your life. And to do exactly what I tell you to do and not add your little things to it.

You must give up your controlling desires today. I need you to put this mindset in My hands and allow Me to renew your mind and to strengthen you. I need you to let it go and to change this issue. As you allow Me to do this, you will notice that your focus will be redirected in the path of the things that I have called you to do. You will find that your stress rate will go way down. You will feel the overwhelmingness of life disappear as My peace over takes you as you give Me the control and leave it there.

Have I not told you to cast your cares upon Me? Have I not told you to let things go and let Me take care of them? So why do you continue to hold onto things that you cannot change?
You must realize that this issue with the controlling desire has delayed and for some of you, it has stopped the things that I have been trying to do with you and for you because too much meddling has been going on.

You cannot allow Me to have control and then take it back when you think that things have not gone quite the way they should. This makes the whole process begin all over again the moment that you realize that taking it back was a mistake and you give it back to Me all over again to handle.

Make the decision today to just let this controlling desire go and give it to Me. Give Me this part of your mindset and allow Me to change it. Allow yourself to be redirected to the things that I have called you to do and to fight the battles that are meant to be fought.

Do not allow the enemy to use this issue to distract you any longer. Do not allow the enemy to use this issue to keep you from the peace and joy that will come as this is being taken care of. Give this controlling desire and mindset to Me and watch how much your life will truly change.
