Oceans in the Desert

Kathi Pelton

My husband and I were praying together yesterday regarding a single word I heard the Holy Spirit speak…”RESET”. As we prayed into this supernatural reset that I felt happening, my husband heard the Spirit say,

“It is time for all the ‘flotsam’ to be removed.”

Honestly, I had no idea what the word meant and had to ask him (he’s a writer/editor so he loves words and has an extensive vocabulary). He explained that the definition of flotsam pertains to goods that are floating on the surface of the water as the result of a wreck or an accident. Often it refers to debris from shipwrecks long ago.

I felt such a weight in the Spirit upon this specific word and meaning. He shared with me that he felt that this was a work of the Spirit that included an intentional partnership with God’s people. God is “surfacing” debris in our lives that comes from past wreckage that has polluted our souls. As these things surface it is important to ask the Holy Spirit to remove this flotsam and to purify all the residue that remains.

This may pertain to even the memory and trauma attached to past wreckage in your life, your family or even your land. Deep is calling out to deep and His Spirit is searching the deep places in order to remove old debris and give you a divine reset.

This removal of the sunken ships in your soul that cause reminders of the trauma to continuously float to the surface, will usher you into a reset in your body, soul and spirit. You will begin to experience life differently and will be filled with the joy of your salvation once again. This is not only for individuals but for couples, families, people groups and lands.

For those who have experienced “shipwrecks” within the Church, the removal of the debris from those experiences will cause you to see the body of Christ with the eyes of Christ rather than through the lenses of the wreckage and past pain. Distorted filters will be removed and you will discern the family of God rightly. This will bring great unity where the enemy has created division and isolation.

Do not be alarmed or dismayed if things from the past begin to surface because it is not a sign of going backwards but merely a work of the Spirit to quickly and effectively remove all that has been buried and creating pollutants. This is your forward movement!

“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Psalm 139:23-24

Oh the joys that He has planned for you to experience! Thank you Jesus for removing all wreckage from our past so that we can go forth in our divine reset and restoration!
