Withstand the Test

The Spirit of the Lord says:

“Beloved ones, this is a period of timely positioning and my sons and daughters must rise and fully inhabit their identity in me. As you come forth out of the wilderness as my chosen bride, the tempter will attempt to test you. The need for this testing is so that you will be secure in your kingdom identity. I summon you to partner with my word in assurance as you embrace fully your identity as my beloved son/daughter in whom I am well pleased.

To enable you to do this, I am releasing upon you a new strength of identity; a new solidity of knowing who you are in me. You will be challenged in these days by emotional instability and uncertainty of who you are due to all that is going on around you. Resist being tipped into the wobbling atmosphere of violence and insecurity. Measure yourself by my standards and be conformed by the renewing of your mind. 

As you hear the taunting of the evil one, listen for Holy Spirit’s instructions. Listen to how you are directed to answer such threats and tests. Feel the Holy Spirit’s confidence and respond with new determination. Do not become unhinged by the chaos or lose sight of who you are in me.

Activation: Read Matthew 3:17 and then decree aloud over yourself, “God’s voice from heaven calls me his beloved son/daughter. I am his beloved and he is well pleased.” Do this over and over, until you feel yourself partnering with this truth. 

John 1:12-13 (NIV)

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. 

Romans 8:14-15 (NIV)

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
