April 22, 2024 - Exhortation

Overwhelming fear will open you to a world that isn't realistic, but to your mind, you genuinely believe that your only hope is through past bondage(s). You will convince yourself (through fear), that it is better to be bound by some things, rather than it is to be free and face a difficult thing (Exodus 14:10-16). There is no accountability in fear, only the occasion created to keep you bound by a false reality.

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will also help you, I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10)

The Lord is saying to you in this hour that you cannot afford to look back at your enemies or the former things. You cannot afford to be fearful of what might be coming. You cannot become overwhelmed by the obstacles that are before you. You cannot long to be what you once were at a specific time in your life -- whether good, bad, or ugly. You must be willing to see beyond the circumstances.

"This is what the Lord says, He who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters." (Isaiah 43:16)

You are seeing beyond the offense, beyond the disappointments, beyond the hurt, beyond the trials, beyond the bondage, beyond the manipulations, and beyond the snares -- God is calling you to see with His truth and not with your reality.

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:18)

You cannot settle in this season. Renounce the spirit of fear now, of bondage now, of apathy now, in the name of Jesus. Look forward and press onward. There is Kingdom advancing ground to walk on.
