"Release for His Increase" reminds us that before God can fill us with His presence, power, and purpose, something in us must shrink. Our pride, our control, our hidden hurt—whatever is taking up space—has to go. Like Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, there are moments we must get alone with the Lord, let go of everything else, and say, “I won’t let go until You bless me.”

This message isn’t just about healing from storms—though that was powerfully testified. It’s about being transformed in the storm, changed by an encounter with God so real that we never walk the same again. When we wrestle with God and not just the world, He will touch the deep places of our lives, and we will walk away with more of Him and less of us.

Let go of what’s been holding you back. Empty yourself and allow God to fill every space. Shrink so He can shine.

📖 Watch this message and be encouraged to release what weighs you down so God can increase His work in you!

Key Scriptures (NKJV)

📖 John 3:30 – “He must increase, but I must decrease.”

📖 Genesis 32:22–32 And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok. He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had. Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.” And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.” Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip. Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank, which is on the hip socket, because He touched the socket of Jacob’s hip in the muscle that shrank.

📖 Psalm 139:23–24 – "Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting."

📖 Galatians 5:16 – "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."

📖 Romans 12:1 – "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service."

📖 2 Corinthians 12:9 – "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

📖 James 4:10 – "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up."

📖 Luke 14:11 – "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

📖 Isaiah 64:8 – "But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand."

📖 Proverbs 3:5–6 – "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths."

📖 Philippians 3:7–8 – "But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ."

📖 Hebrews 12:1 – "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."
