July 8, 2022 – Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Understand this and take to heart that the plan of the enemy is to keep your eyes and mind on all of the trouble and chaos that he keeps stirring up around you.

 
Good morning,
 
    Understand this and take to heart that the plan of the enemy is to keep your eyes and mind on all of the trouble and chaos that he keeps stirring up around you.  Do not quickly forget that I have said, "in the time of trouble I will hide you safe in My pavilion and under the shadow of My wings."  My desire is that you would learn to keep your eyes and your mind stayed on My goodness to you.  Goodness and mercy are on assignment from heaven to do you good.  You must stay readily accessible by pressing into the hiding place that I have for you.  There you have access to the Kingdom, all that you need for recovery, restoration, and a refreshing.  Yes, I have given to you all that is needed to live a victorious life.
     You are standing at the dawn of your breakthrough, do not be deceived now.  This is where the enemy will pull out all the wicked spirits of offenses, bitterness, and unforgiveness.  Your thoughts and your words you must put a watch on and cast them down.  You do possess authority over them.  Remember your fight is not against people, but against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this present world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Here is where the spirit of deception will turn My children against one another, fighting in the House, instead of against the enemy.  This will cause you to be defeated when you fight against those who I am for.  In war many times there is fire sent out that hurts and mauls their own allies.  This confusion is a smoke screen to keep you from receiving what you have labored and believed for.  Once you step through the opening, the light that you will have will be greater than what you had before the storm came.  What you have glanced at in the shadows shall be clearly known.  I make darkness light, and the crooked places straight!  More than before, you must stay glued by love to the members of My Body that I have connected you with, this is for your healing and your deliverance."  Take refuge and be confident in Me until the calamities pass, for I Am your hiding place.
 
    "Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place." (Ps.23:6)
 
    "Be merciful and gracious to me, O God, be merciful and gracious to me, for my soul takes refuge and finds shelter and confidence in You; yes, in the shadow of Your wings will I take refuge and be confident until calamities and destructive storms are passed. (Ps.57:1)
 
    "For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere."(Eph. 6:12)
 
    "For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him." (Rom. 12:3)

Good morning,
    
     Understand this and take to heart that the plan of the enemy is to keep your eyes and mind on all of the trouble and chaos that he keeps stirred up around you.  Do not quickly forget what I have said, "in the time of trouble I will hide you safe in My pavilion and under the shadow of My wings."  My desire is that you would learn to keep your eyes and your mind stayed on My goodness to you.  Goodness and mercy are on assignment from heaven to do you good.  You must stay readily accessible by pressing into the hiding place that I have for you.  It is there that you have access to the Kingdom, all that you need for recovery, restoration, and a refreshing.  Yes, I have given to you all that is needful to live a victorious life.
     You are standing at the dawn of your breakthrough, do not be deceived now.  This is where the enemy will pull out all the wicked spirits of offenses, bitterness, and being unforgiving.  Your thoughts and your words you must work on putting a watch on, and cast them down.  You do possess authority over them.  Do not let idle, fruitless and harsh words and thoughts fill your mind and heart.  Remember your fight is not against people, but against principalities, powers, against rulers of the darkness of this present world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.  They are always trying to get you to fix your mind on things that produce more of the thoughts that brought them down, self destructive thinking.  It is lying vanities of this world, lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life, all of these spirits are self deceiving.  Here is where the spirit of deception will turn my children against one another, fighting in the House, instead of against the enemy.  This will cause you to be defeated when you fight against those who I am for.  In war, many times there is fire sent out that hurt and maul their own allies.  This confusion is a smoke screen to keep you from seeing who the real enemy is, and from receiving what you have labored and believed for.  Press in to knowing Me.  In knowing Me, you would recognize My voice, and not follow a stranger's voice.  Once you step through and learn to keep your mind stayed on Me, the light that you will have will be greater than what you had before the storm came.  What you have glanced at in the shadows shall be clearly known.  I make darkness light, and the crooked places straight!  Keep pressing to know Me better and you will not be deceived by the enemy.  You will discern My voice and My way by My Word, We are One.
 
     “You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both [inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]" (Is. 26:3).
     "In his shelter in the day of trouble, that’s where you’ll find me, for he hides me there in his holiness.  He has smuggled me into his secret place, where I’m kept safe and secure—out of reach from all my enemies." (Ps. 27:5)

     "For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, [lust of the flesh) the allurement of the things of the world, (lust of the eyes) and the obsession with status and importance (pride of life) —none of these things come from the Father but from the world.(1 John 2:16)
