Higher and Wider

The Spirit of the Lord says:

I am calling you higher. I am calling you to fly like an eagle above your circumstances. Do not let earthly matters entangle you and stop you from rising up high to discern what is really happening in the spirit. This is a time of pushing through; soar and open your wings higher and wider to reach that place where I can reveal to you what is happening in your region and in the nations.

Do not let daily burdens distract you from where I am taking you. Do not allow the enemy to whisper in your ear that what you are facing has no solution, or that you don’t have enough authority to win your battle. As you come up higher, the earthly noise and chaos will fall away – and you will receive clarity of vision and revelation.

As you look up to me, as you rest in me; you must also start preparing. Anoint your weapons and feel my power rise within you. Is not the spirit who dwells in you the same who raised Jesus from the dead?

Stand firm and you will see that just your presence will scare the enemy’s minions away. For time in my presence strengthens your defences and releases your ability to stand under pressure. 

Activation: 

Spend time in worship magnifying God and his greatness. Then hand over to the Lord any worries or battles you may be facing. Make the conscious decision to rise above these things, to stretch out wider – to go higher, above the chaos of the world. 

As you breathe in his shalom peace and breathe out any anxiety, listen to what Holy Spirit is revealing to you about your nation and land. Ask him how you should be preparing; in what areas are you to anoint your weapons and to stand.

Isaiah 40:31 (NLT)

“But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”

James 4:7 (NIV)

“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Isaiah 21:5 (NKJV)

“Prepare the table, set a watchman in the tower, eat and drink. Arise, you princes, anoint the shield!”
