Culture treats identity as personal expression, but God views identity as representation, getting just the briefest understanding of how profound it is. When God said, let us make man in our image. It will transform your thinking. It will radically expand your expectations and your entire approach to life. Now I won't be able to do this justice. It's that profound. But I do want to bring enough to begin to challenge your thinking, to cause you to begin to understand how God sees you, what he's called you to, and the impact you're to have.
Do you remember the last time you experienced a challenging or difficult situation? Maybe you're in the middle of one right now. We usually don't get excited about going through them. In fact, when trouble comes, we sometimes ask, "Why is this happening?" Many times, things happen that we simply don't understand. But that's okay—God doesn't expect us to have everything figured out. We can trust that He knows and will take care of everything. He wants us to look to Him and say, "God, I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I'm trusting You to take care of me."
I have faced difficult circumstances in my life, and I know you have too. Perhaps even today, there are pressures upon your life, and you are feeling squeezed from every direction. It could be family problems, financial difficulties, or even concerns about your health. Whatever it may be, I am reaching out to you today with a message of hope in the pamphlet I have enclosed for you. Looking back over the years and the many challenges I have faced, I realize that at the moment when they were happening I "felt overwhelmed" and when we are overwhelmed, fear and anxiety follow.
The constancy and loyalty of God's lovingkindness is displayed in its ability to persevere through all sorts of obstacles and trials. The ultimate expression of this loyal love is seen in Paul's teaching in Romans 8: What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns?
Yesterday I received an awesome prophetic word while watching a live stream video on Facebook from a prophet named Dontrell, who is a credible and anointed prophet of God. My friend Gerri sent me the link to the video which was already three hours in. He and another prophet, named James, were ministering the whole time, teaching and prophesying to the viewers. At around the three-and-a-half-hour mark, he called my name and prophesied to me.
In this day and age, we require revelation insight like never before. Often, I hear the statement, "Your perception is your reality." Although this is true to some extent, God's perception is the final reality. In other words, while our understanding is shaped by our experiences, God's perspective transcends human limitations and offers a higher level of understanding. Aligning our perception with His allows us to see situations more clearly and make decisions that are rooted in divine wisdom rather than subjective interpretation or flawed reasoning.
Bad behaviors, bad habits, bad moods—most of us try to beat anything bad in our lives with modified actions. We reprimand ourselves, "I should quit this/stop that," then set out to follow some regimen of dos and don'ts. The problem is, when you try to modify behavior, victory is short lived. Most of us experience this when we attempt a strict diet. Though you might succeed for a while, the more you focus on what you shouldn't eat, the more it consumes your mind until you fall to it again. The reason this happens is spiritual: "The law gives sin its power" (1 Corinthians 15:56, NLT).
The biggest barrier to hearing God's current message isn't rebellion. It isn't sin, though that can create static. The biggest barrier is actually something that seems positive: COMFORT WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY THINK YOU KNOW. When you get comfortable with your current understanding, something subtle happens in your spirit. You stop leaning in. You stop asking questions. You stop positioning yourself as a learner. You shift from "God, show me" to "God, confirm what I already believe." See the difference?
After viewing a prophetic painting of The Lion of Judah, the anointing came over me, and I wrote as I conversed with the Savior: Now is the time and the hour for the Lord to pour out His power and through those who are made ready! Yes, I can feel it. Those who are in the third trimester, birth it forth! The breaking of the water, the rushing of the wind, it is coming! To sweep through us like a mighty waterfall busting down the dams and letting the River flow forth!
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8 The devil doesn't want you to be strong in the Lord's love for you. Instead, he wants you to question God's love for you. To accomplish this, one of his key strategies is to try to make you think that God is mad at you. God's Word tells us that the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. This means that he cannot just devour anyone. He must look for those whom he can devour.
