“Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.” Psalm 27:3 ESV
BIRTH
I hear the Lord saying today, “Press into the pressure and discomfort that you are experiencing! Press through the intensity. Surely, as a woman is about to give birth, she feels as though she has no strength left to finish the birthing process. Assuredly, it is at this moment that she needs to birth what has already been put in motion. There is no turning back when the baby is crowning. Most assuredly, this is when her will to birth becomes greater than her strength level. She will gather herself for the final few pushes needed to birth the new life inside of her!”
REFUSE TO RETREAT
“Refuse to retreat, neither lay down your sword,” says the Lord! “Continue to speak My word over situations that appear contrary to what I have spoken to you. Intimidation and anxiety have sought to overwhelm you. Truly, this is not your portion,” says the Lord. “I have come so that you may have life, and life more abundantly!”
“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” John 10:10 NLT
“Stay on the wall and intercede for relationships and situations that are out of alignment. Keep declaring My words and speak life over people and broken circumstances. Call things that are not as though they are.”
BRINGING LIGHT TO THE DARKNESS
“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” Revelation 12:11 NIV
“Be encouraged, even amidst the warfare that has come against you,” says the Lord. “Truly you are taking much ground for My kingdom! You are bringing light to the darkness! Press into the pressure! Keep sowing good seed into good ground! Keep speaking words of blessing and life even in the midst of cursing. Move in My love,” says the Lord! “I have chosen you to be in this world at this exact time and location to bring the needed change in this hour! People will look to you for answers as they realize that the broken systems of this world have nothing to offer them. I will give you My insights! I will give you My supernatural strategies to navigate challenging circumstances as you stay connected to Me,” says the Lord! “I am your life source! Stay connected to Me and abide with Me in the secret place, for nothing else will satisfy!”
But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4 BSB
I AM YOUR ROCK AND YOUR FORTRESS
“Stir up your most holy faith by praying in the Spirit. Resist the temptation to give in to laziness and apathy in the hour! Your are needed! Incline your ears to Me, for I have much to show you! Truly, the hour is urgent! The sifting, shifting, and shaking will not only continue, it will intensify! Even so, refuse to fear! I am your rock and your fortress! I am your high tower! Those who trust in Me will never be put to shame! Stay close to Me and press into the pressure, for the dross is washing away as the pure gold arises!”, says the Lord of Hosts!
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High.” Psalm 46:1-4 ESV
