Wow! Almost everyone I have talked to in the last week has been hit hard in all different areas. Not hit enough for us to be knocked out but to cause us to be weary.
My friend, Mickey, shared a word from Nate Johnson (see attached). He talked about us being in a dark room developing a new vision and removing hindrances. We have pieces of the puzzle, and they are starting to develop but we can’t see the whole picture.
Birthing New Wineskins!
Attacks come when we are ready to birth a new vision or are going to a new level with God. God uses these dark times to remove the trauma from the past season. This may be done by having a melt down by crying, anger, or retreat. It is very uncomfortable! I broke down at my Veteran’s appointment. It felt like PTSD was in full bloom. I know I am healed but God allowed these old feelings to come to the surface and remove the trauma from the pickleball fall. It was only supposed to take five weeks to heal from this fall, but after four months, I was still having pain.
God reminded me that I was to turn over my health to Him and not keep trying to heal myself. I studied health all of my life and one of my assignments was to pave a way for women veterans in the health care system. If I hadn’t researched the rare form of breast cancer, I might be dead right now. Well, that assignment has shifted. I want to walk in the supernatural.
It is Never too Late!
I have been praying that the Joshua and Caleb generation would rise and take their mountains. In Genesis, chapters eighteen and twenty, Sarah, at the age of 90 was given a word that she would bear a son. Right after that, Abraham told her to say she was his sister. King Abimelech, saw Sarah and took her into his harem. The king received a dream to not touch Sarah, or he would be cursed. Sarah then went back to Abraham and had Isaac. God rescued Sarah, corrected Abraham, and stopped the plot of Satan to pollute the bloodline of the Messiah.
Why am I telling you this story? Think about this, Sarah was ninety. Why would a king want her in his harem? This happened a few months after the word from God saying she would have a baby. God changed a ninety-year-old body to produce a baby. It changed her so much that a king desired her!
If we want to walk in the supernatural, we must let go of our own abilities and past experiences to tap into the promises God gave us. All of these attacks are being used by God (not caused by God), to remove the dependency on self so we can walk in the supernatural.
I want this supernatural life! My flesh and soul do not like the process of dying to my own abilities and old wineskins (successes in the past). But by God’s grace, I am not quitting. We need this new level of authority and anointing to walk out God’s plans for this next season.
Father God,
Help! I want all that you have for me, and I am willing to walk through this process. Jesus made it through all testing to claim the victory of resurrection for us. It is not an accident I was born at this time and in this place. I ask for wisdom, peace in the storms of life, and grace provided through Holy Spirit. I am choosing to trust You, Father God. I want the supernatural life that you have provided for all of us to walk in this world. By God’s grace and the victory Jesus provided, amen!
