Don’t Pull It Too Soon: How to Discern When It’s Time to Remove Something

ree



The Healing Room | June 18, 2025



Some things feel small—until you tug on them without permission from God.


Whether it’s a relationship, a job, a partnership, or even a spiritual assignment, we have to learn the difference between:


  • a release from God

  • and a reaction from discomfort.



Sometimes we try to exit too early.

Sometimes we remove ourselves—or others—before the process has done what it was sent to do.


Here are three quick signs it’s not yet time to pull away:


  1. You’re reacting emotionally instead of responding spiritually.

    Your feelings are loud, but your peace is missing.

  2. The atmosphere hasn’t shifted—you have.

    God may be stretching you within a place before moving you out of it.

  3. You don’t have the right tools.

    Discernment is your spiritual “tweezer.” If you don’t have clarity, don’t pull.



But when the timing is right?

God will not only expose the root—He’ll also provide the release, the covering, and the new ground to plant your next step.


You don’t need to force the outcome.

Just ask the Holy Spirit:


“Is this irritation meant to teach me… or release me?”

Either way—He will answer.

And when He does? Move with grace. Not impulse :

3 scriptures that God gave me this morning-



  • Psalm 111:4 – “He causes us to remember His wonderful works.”

  • Psalm 118:22 – “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”

  • Psalm 119:67 – “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey Your word.”
