“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

THE DARK CAVE OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND SHAKEN CONFIDENCE

I see the Lord walking hand in hand with his bride as they are preparing to leave a dark cave. This cave represents disappointment, trauma, hurt, and shaken confidence. Without even fully realizing her condition, the bride has become comfortable and familiar dwelling in this place.

The Lord turns to his bride and says, “It is time to leave this place.” Together, they proceed from the cave entrance and walk upon the open path before them. A few steps later, they both turn to the cave and the Lord raises his mighty sword. He speaks with power and great authority saying, “I break the power this cave has had on My glorious bride!”

As previously spoken, March will be a time of stepping out of the boat and walking on the water. As you do, you will see the miraculous! As you step out of the cave of disappointment and shaken confidence, you will truly step into a glorious new day of freedom! The power of the cave is broken and you will now walk in the fullness of whom the Lord has intended you to be!

SHAKEN CONFIDENCE RESTORED!

I hear the Lord saying, “My hand is upon you! I am healing you of past disappointment and shaken confidence! The enemy has bound many with a cloak of disillusionment and disappointment. He has also found a foothold to sow seeds of doubt and fear, but I am breaking that off of my bride in this hour! You have remained faithful through many adverse circumstances. Yet, you have also remained faithful that I am always good and that I desire to show you My goodness!”

The Lord says, “Arise, oh mighty warrior, and return to your fortress of hope! Shake off the lies of the enemy and break off agreement with the false narrative he has attempted to hinder you with.”

“Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.” Zechariah 9:12 NIV

“I know there have been many painful things that you have not understood. Nevertheless, I am good and I am still working My plans and purposes for your life! Truly, I am the author of your story. Your times are in My hands and I have good plans for you! Even through the perceived delays, I am right on time! You will see the sun rise on what has appeared to be the darkest season. I am able to bring beauty from your ashes. Let hope arise! Let shaken confidence be broken off of you now! Dare to hope in Me again and let my goodness and mercy wash over you afresh!”

“I have called you to be a beacon of hope, light, and strength to others. That is why the enemy has tried relentlessly to cause you to cast away your confidence and give into discouragement. Stand tall as I am breaking off hope deferred! I am the God who can and will do exceedingly, abundantly all that you could ask or think. Truly, your best days are just ahead! The trajectory of your life is about to change for the better!”

“Sing a new song unto Me! Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for it is a new day!”, says the Lord of Hosts!

“But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.” Malachi 4:2 NLT
