Why is this word in my head?

Lord, I don’t know…

A plantation conjures up very bad images for me of cotton fields and slavery…

Why have You given me this word Lord?

“The opposite of slavery is slavery to Me”…

“You are not oppressed by Me, you are set free by Me”, declares the Lord, “you are oppressed by your flesh and yet you think that it is freedom”…

“It is not freedom to indulge in your sin – it is not”…

“Freedom to Me is measured in how surrendered you are to be My slave in all things”, declares the Lord…

“This is freedom to Me – you know this – you are just opposing it as it comes practically to bear on your life – the dying is hard Andrew – the revelation is easy – you know what I mean”…

“I am carrying you – the plantation is you – you are the plantation – you are a plantation of My Spirit – you are to bear fruit for Me in all things – in all areas of your life – none will be missing – none of My fruit through you will be missing – you will bear fruit to Me in all things and you will love no one above Me – no one above Me and you will live to serve others – to serve others in all things looking for nothing in return for yourself – this is your lot – you chose this Andrew – do not complain to Me that I am giving you what you chose – you chose it and you are now living it – the death is painful but there is no turning back – there is nothing else for you – nothing else for you on this earth – you know this – surrender to it – it is already too late – you are too far through – it is nearly over – the death is painful but the life beyond it is to be enjoyed – when I naturally live through you for My Glory for the rest of your life – then there will be joy overflowing through you for the rest of My life in you – yes Andrew, My life in you – for I – Jesus – was anointed with the oil of joy above My fellows – and I will anoint you with this oil as I live through you until the end of time”…

Declares the Lord, declares the Lord who has mercy upon you…
