At the beginning of the year, I asked God what was on His heart. I saw an outline of His blueprints being built— a kingdom in the shape of a castle and all other foundations not part of this Kingdom structures were shaking. God’s kingdom markers were being put into place. After this vision, I kept thinking about how, when we enter into Kairos moments, the preparation from previous seasons and years allows us to either say “yes” and step into them or sometimes we miss out on the opportunity.
I saw many of us being catapulted into seasons we had been prepared for. Some of the words I wrote down for this year were: glory stories, positioned for revival, awakening on mass levels, covenant relationships, convergence of streams and denominations, carpenter structures uniquely designed for a unique build—no more cookie-cutter models—provision, and access to inheritance at a new level. Storehouses were opening—things many could only imagine were becoming reality.
I love how God shares His heart with us, yet we still have to go in and possess the land—the spaces He has promised to us. Taking new ground often requires us to stand firm. There are times when everything is shifting, and the enemy does his best to throw a flood of lies at our minds - he knows he’s already lost.
Last week, as I was praying for someone, I saw a picture that brought more clarity to this. I saw a person wearing a helmet, and the scripture from Ephesians 6 came to mind: "After you have done everything, stand." That same week, I personally faced an onslaught of lies coming at my mind. I knew they were lies because they were things I had already dealt with in the past, and they no longer existed in my thought patterns. The Holy Spirit is so kind—He is always encouraging. He kept reminding me of Joshua’s words:
"Be bold and courageous. Be bold and courageous. Be bold and courageous. Have I not already told you that I will be with you? The steps you are taking, I have given to you, and I will be with you wherever you go." (Read Joshua 1…)
I have great expectancy in my heart for what God is doing. I believe He will continue to stir things up at another level in March. My posture is to enter into deeper rest in Jesus, knowing the victory is already ours. I will stand firm in what He has given me, refusing to be intimidated. I will show up, knowing that I have been prepared for these moments and that Jesus already has my yes in this season.
Activation:
1.What is the scripture, the word or the image for your year that God's given you? Hold onto it no matter what comes at you.
2. Ask the Holy Spirit in the season what He wants to build with you & in you? How are you to partner with him? Together you will do great exploits (Joshua 3:5 prepare yourself for those exploits)
3. Read Deut 11:11-14. Ask Holy Spirit what does your “new land” look like in this season? He is opening new doors for us - new opportunities and new connections.
4. Read Isaiah 22:22. Remember to keep thanking God even when you’re in the hallway waiting for the “new door” to open.
