My child,
What wonder there is for you to enjoy! While there is much concern and heaviness in the world’s atmosphere, remember that you can live above it! You are seated with Christ at My right hand. Remember the authority you carry and position yourself accordingly. You can know My timing and recognize the seasons without becoming burdened and undone.
Indeed! While there is much challenge and heartache, I would have you focused on the wonder of My Kingdom, pulling people up high with you!
Take the stance of a victor, a conqueror! Posture yourself in wondrous awe and joyful gratitude as you remember that you have the victory.
While the world’s circumstances may weigh upon you, remember who it is that dwells within you. Let your spirit lead you through your days as you find your security in Me. For as you dwell upon that truth and step into the fullness of the authority I have bestowed upon you, you will find yourself shaking the darkness and shining a light of hope upon those who need it most.
Activation: Turn to Ephesians 1:15-22. First, read these verses over yourself as a declaration and move into a time of prayer as Holy Spirit leads. Next, ask Holy Spirit to bring to mind someone who you can pray for. Again, using Ephesians 1:15-22 as a guide, spend time praying and decreeing over their life.
15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people,
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers;
17 [I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son].
18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the [a]hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the [b]saints (God’s people),
19 and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength
20 which He [c]produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come.
22 And He [d]put all things [in every realm] in subjection under Christ’s feet, and [e]appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head over all things in the church,
Ephesians 1:15-22 (AMP)
