and must overcome his stammer in order to speak
with authority and eloquence expected of a king. He hires Lionel Logue
(Geoffrey Rush), an Australian speech therapist to assist him with his
problem.
This movie blew me away and how
it paralleled what we in the Body of Christ must go through in order to assume
our rightful position as kings in the earth. Revelation 1:6 says, "we are kings
and priest unto our God," that means we stand in the position of king, the power
of king and the authority of king.
In this story, King George VI
had to speak on occasion as his father was dying. His brother was off doing his
own thing and didn't want any part of the royal responsibilities. King George
VI would clam up with fear and anxiety every time he went to the microphone to
speak.
After much failure with other
speech therapist; his wife finds Lionel to help him. Lionel was different, a
little unusual; but effective. King George found himself trying to tell the
therapist what to do and he fought him on many occasions. Isn't that what we do
with God; or the man/woman of God that is given to us to assist us in our
destinies? King George wanted the mechanics from Lionel; meaning he wanted to
do exercises that would help him with stuttering but he didn't want to get
personal which would deal with the real issue behind his stuttering that Lionel
had spotted.
King George was angry and held
a lot of fears, resentment and hurt and bitterness on the inside of him; due to
his father disappointment and the things he experienced growing up. So now that
King George VI is an adult, the demons of his childhood are now trying to rob
him of his rightful position as king.
After King George's father
dies; he found himself opening up to Lionel and allowing the things that he had
buried on the inside of him to finally be released. This too is what we must do
as believers in order to walk in the fullness of what God has called us
to.
God is raising up leaders who
have His heart for his people and His counsel that will bring the believer into
a place of wholeness so they can walk in Kingdom Assignment. We too must face
the demons of our past and our childhood that is trying to rob us of our
present. It wasn't until King George VI trusted Lionel, his therapist, with
those deep dark secrets, that King George could finally start walking out of his
past.
We must learn from this very
profound story of one man's life of how he overcame the demons of his childhood
in order to walk in the full authority of what was handed to him. As believers,
we stand in the position of king, the authority of king and the power of king;
but until we too face the demons of our past, they will rob us of fulfilling
Kingdom Assignment.
Trust the man/women that God
has placed before you to assist you in overcoming your past; that you might walk
in the fullness that God has for you. You can't do it on your own; that is why
God puts people in your path.
