The last season I called you to wild obedience, and to step out from hesitation, anxiety and lack; to step fully into the plans and purposes I have for you. You have answered that call, and I am well pleased with your resilience and ability to stand in the storm.
Yet opposition comes with the extravagant faith that you have shown. You are aware of the moves of the enemy sent to undermine that faith, bringing distraction and fear. I am increasing your discernment in these times. This will be a crash course for you in discernment that will serve My Kingdom purposes well into the seasons to come.
Do not shy away from it. Do not think that it is someone else’s calling, for it is time for you to respond to the warrior cry that I have placed within you. Release the fear that you have surrounding this to Me, and let Me guide you in razor sharp focus to see and discern.
I will show you strategies that will surprise and delight you. For with Me, warfare and discernment is not heavy but a joy to thwart the plans of the enemy and take ground for My Kingdom. So let your spiritual blinkers fall away, and come into razor sharp focus. Cut through all distraction and chaos, for now is the time to discern, to come against, to bridge the gap, and to release the freedom and joy of My Kingdom through it.
Activation:
Sit with the Lord and ask Him to show you what your journey of faith looks like up to now. See where He has been well pleased with you. Enjoy that time with Him, and then in that place of faith and assurance, ask Holy Spirit to remove any blinkers from your spiritual sight and to release razor sharp discernment to you.
Take hold of it as you bring to mind a situation or challenge you are facing. Discern with Holy Spirit what enemy tactics are at play here, and ask for strategies to intercede and warfare against them. Commit to this assignment with Jesus; keep pressing into it over the coming days and watch as shifts and breakthrough unfold before you.
3 For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man.
4 The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ,
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (AMP)
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time,
7 casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].
8 Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour.
9 But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.]
1 Peter 5:6-9 (AMP)
