The breakthrough from the waters of your active surrender is one which is inevitable, it is written, it is DONE, and it is, in fact – shocker, I know – immeasurably more than what you could ask, think, know or imagine.
You do know that when I write shocker in that way it means NOT shocker, yes?
Just checking 😉
‘Cause here’s the thing.
In the Kingdom of God we ALWAYS receive more than what we could possibly have hoped or asked for. Ephesians 3:20 is well quoted for saying so!
But here’s the bit so many people miss –
It’s according to the power (Holy Spirit!) at work WITHIN us, and oh, what’s that other bit? Oh yeah – it’s for ALL GLORY TO GOD.
If only we would learn to live from these two truths our lives would be so much more, well … what God intended them to be.
But what do we do instead, so much of the time, instead of waiting on that power from on high?
We push. We strive. We try to ‘figure it out’. We hear the voice of God and then add a ton of other things He never said, or ignore what He DID say. We say “well, surely God meant!”, and take the vision from on high then toddle off with it idols we don’t wanna let go of firmly intact.
We put ourselves in a position of barely LIMPING along towards where we’re meant to be going (1 Kings 18:21 – “How long will you people go limping between two different opinions”), every burden which should rightly be given over to the Lord because it’s not of Him and therefore not graced by Him weighing us down and an occasional ‘in Jesus Name’ chucked out as we plead for something He already gave us while refusing to declare and decree Him in and THROUGH us which comes?
By the word of our testimony and the blood of the lamb as we love not our lives even unto death (Revelation 12:11).
Word of our testimony: what we speak needs to be in agreement with God, what He is doing in and through us and what He WILL do because He IS doing it even now.
I.e … calling those things which are not into being as though they are (Romans 4:17), according to His word IN us by His Spirit who leads us (Romans 14:23).
Loving not our life even unto death? Well this is where it gets interesting. Isn’t it?!
We think of this and think ‘being willing to die for our faith’. Well, sure. Maybe the joy of the Lord for hope eternal be our strength if that should ever be something we face.
But what about the daily death unto self?
And what about the specific death around the specific thing which maybe we pray for and yet we refuse to fully lay it down / give it over?
Maybe because we don’t want to …
Maybe because we don’t know HOW to …
Or maybe. Just maybe. Because more than trusting God we trust what circumstances seem to scream at us is real, we trust that WE have to hold it or fix it or carry it or else, we trust the complete OPPOSITE of faith, which is the evidence of things we don’t yet know, the substance of things not yet seen! (Hebrews 11:1).
In the end, do ya know what?
It kinda doesn’t matter what the hang up is.
Sure, it’s great – and necessary – for soul healing, deliverance, understanding, as the Holy Spirit leads, as we continue journeying past all the STUFF God is working out of us.
But a lot of the time all of THAT doesn’t even start or is not able to until we just agree.with.God.
Until we give the thing over again, die to self again, cast the care again not because we can understand how or why but because He SAYS to and we say yes.
On the other side of your obedient yes is the fresh dewy grass of the promised land He is bringing you into, to OCCUPY.
The land of milk and honey!
And on the other side of your ACTIVE surrender … surrender in motion … surrender which does not just have one breath or move to it … surrender which is a living breathing ongoing thing, a way of BEING even …
the crystal clear waters of breakthrough shine.
Not in the place where you figured it out.
And not in the place where you finally forced your way through.
But in the place where your confession of Jesus as Lord, coupled with your willing laying down of ALL of you, coupled with your spoken word your TESTIMONY as you speak life over the area OF your life, as you thank Him already for what you can’t even see … where all of this?
Becomes that word which like a hammer breaks through rock (Jeremiah 23:29) becoming the OVERFLOW OF THE LORD IN AND THROUGH YOU.
OH, Lord, that we would understand that everything we long for is in your word, your word which is IN us, and which I ask you even now to cause to PERMEATE us.
Lord let us never grow weary of seeking the fullness of surrender in you, fire stoked by you, and the burning power OF you, released through our voice which is FOR you.
Lord I thank you for BREAKTHROUGH today, in this persons life reading.
And I say WALLS.COME.DOWN.
In the place where she lifts her hands off of what was never hers to carry,
and invites your rivers to flow.
In Jesus Name,
Amen.
Now don’t forget –
Life is Now. Press Play.

The Stillness and Hearing the Voice of God masterclass is happening one time live next week. It’s more than 50% off right now, and when you sign up you receive replay access also.
Fellow burning one, warrior daughter, called and anointed daughter of the Lord who is here to be His voice and vessel and see the vision He has given her wildly prosper and succeed.
It is time to stop trying to do the thing yourself!
It’s time to stop taking a supernatural thing God has put inside of you and given you eyes to see, and then thinking that it’s on YOU to make it happen!
And it is one million percent time to stop looking through a lens of whatever the latest hoops are that the internet says you have to dutifully hop through in order to get anywhere or grow a thing, when you know full well that unless the Lord builds it it’s built in vain!
SISTER.
We did not come here to build a tower to ourselves, by ourselves, through ourselves and for ourselves, and we also didn’t come here to try and glorify God by our own efforts and an outlook made up of our own or the worlds understanding!
In this one time live masterclass on STILLNESS, and Hearing the Voice of God, we are going to walk into what Psalms 46:10 – be still, and know that I am God – really means for you as a woman of God tasked with assignment in business and ministry through business.
A woman called to be the lit on fire with supernatural oil and flames that won’t go out as His voice and vessel.
A woman called to expect overflow, and for the work of her hands to prosper wildly, in ways and places beyond what she could know or see.
A woman called to walk by faith on all of this.
To hear and know the voice of God for every move she makes, and every breath she takes.
A woman who is DONE DONE DONE with the effecting of her own making, and who knows she is part of a different Kingdom and a different way, so let’s live it!
Details and exactly what to expect at https://katrinaruthministries.com/stillnessandhearingthevoiceofgod

Ready for the all in thing? It’s The Academy for Women Who Burn, and THE place to walk in the fire with me as a woman of God who desires to be equipped, fed, filled up, surrounded by other burning ones, and walking into the Lord’s sending as a voice and vessel who is here to write, speak, create, sell, lead, and pour out a thing for His glory!
SO.MUCH.INCLUDED, and the only place to coach live with me ongoing.
