Prepare the Way
My child, I have chosen you for a specific purpose, evident by the desires of your heart. Your adversary is constantly firing darts of prevention at you like insecurity, ridicule, doubt, intimidation, depression, fatigue, fear, etc. I understand this warfare can become very overwhelming, causing you to question yourself. In these wavering moments, I ask:
What if Moses ran from the burning bush?
What if Noah didn’t build the arc?
What if Gideon didn’t push past doubt?
What if David didn’t slay the giant?
What if Esther didn’t approach the king?
What if Elijah backed out of the showdown?
What if Abraham didn’t have any sons?
What if Mary rejected the Holy Spirit?
What if John didn’t prepare the people’s hearts through baptism?
Do you see that each person could have retreated, but they chose not to? And do you see that each person’s victory helped prepare the way for Christ? Now, My chosen one, your victories are needed to prepare the way for Christ’s return.
I am still writing history. If you choose to overcome, I will add your accomplishments to the most incredible manuscript of all time. I will lead you in achieving more than you ever dreamed possible. You too will do great things like lead people into the promised land, build, command armies, hold scepters, influence kings, manifest My great power, bear good fruit and make disciples of many nations. Push past that old serpent! For there are no “what if’s” in My Kingdom. Only victory, and with Me, it is already yours.
Activation: Acknowledge that you are chosen, and God wants to use you to prepare the way of the Lord. Ask God where your areas of influence are and how He wants to use you each and every day. Identify any darts of prevention that have fired against you. Overcome each one by standing on Truth and using your power and authority to destroy it. Then, go and walk out your purpose in victory as God has called you to!
1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Hebrews 12:1-3 (NIV)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
