Take each step in faith and in obedience, not trying to go beyond where you are at any given moment. Do not go out ahead of Me. You can only do what is given you to do now. Stay in present spiritual reality, and walk in complete confidence that I am directing your steps, says the Lord. There is a great blessing released when you embrace your now moments with eternal hope. Psalms 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way.
Rise up to meet the challenges of every circumstance with the assurance of complete victory. This is faith. I have equipped you to overcome every problem by the power and authority I have given you. Believe that you are above only and not beneath, and you will be victorious in all things. Every time you adopt the attitude of a victim you are not exercising your faith, but at the very least are doubleminded and perhaps even in unbelief. Stir yourself up to walk in the Spirit by faith, says the Lord. James 1:58 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double–minded man, unstable in all his ways.
When something you are trying to do becomes too difficult, consider that it may not be in your best interest or might even put you at risk. So, stop and reconsider the reason for your efforts. Wait until you have clarity and until you know for sure you are in the flow of the Spirit. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!
I speak to those who feel like you have to go back to the beginning and start over. But, the truth of the matter is that the ground that you have gained has not been lost. Do not try to go back, but rather move forward from where you are right now. Only leave behind those things that have brought regret and mourning. The best is yet to come, says the Lord. Come higher! Revelation 4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."
The world is about to experience its greatest turmoil in the history of man, and you can expect to see extreme volatility with regard to all natural and human resources. But herein lies a great mystery of My kingdom. There is a division and widening chasm between My kingdom and the kingdoms of the world. Those who put their trust in the political and economic systems will find themselves on a rollercoaster ride with many ups and downs, and many will be ruined beyond recovery on this wild ride. But, even in the midst of wars and rumors of terrorism, you will find more peace than you have ever known as you draw near to Me and abide in Me, says the Lord. You will find your stability and hope in Me and will not be afraid. Many will be tempted to go back to old, familiar and comfortable places and seek worldly comfort instead of moving forward in the Kingdom of God.
“I am bringing you into alignment on every level. It is My will to position you properly so that My purposes can be accomplished and My kingdom established. You may not think that you, as an individual, have much to do with destiny. But, everything you think, say, or do is vitally important to the spiritual condition of your sphere of influence. Be diligent to demonstrate the kingdom.” “You have been repositioned as you have had to let go of many things that once meant everything too you. This has been for the purpose of establishing you in greater spiritual reality with renewed strength and vitality. You have stepped into a time of being reconnected to your spiritual roots yet with refreshing revelation.”
I speak to those of you who have gotten off course and lost direction and perspective. I am bringing a course correction to you. I am revealing the places where you have departed from the path that I have chosen for you. I say to you, the reason you have gotten off course is because your vision strayed from beholding Me, and you began to behold yourself. You considered your circumstances and feelings and held them in greater esteem than you did the truth of My word and the weight of My purposes. Stop where you are and drop your false concepts and fantasies. Let Me infuse you with divine direction, for I truly am your spiritual compass.
I have been reminded the past few days of a word the Lord gave me a long time ago. He said, "You will not go to them, they will come to you." He was speaking of not compromising. He wants us to take a stand. I hear Him even now saying, "Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Stand strong in your place of righteousness and in your place of authority and let those around you come to that place of strength. Stay put in your place of destiny and do not compromise righteousness for the sake of acceptance." Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
You will need to step back from the things that trouble you in order to see more clearly and to perceive My work in the midst of all that i...
