THIS MAZE IS NOT YOUR PRISON, BUT A ROAD TO YOUR DESTINY

Do not look for a booming call or supernatural sign to bring you out of the web of twists and turns you have faced. It is My still small voice that must be the primary voice to bring you out of this maze. It is only by carefully listening to My subtle but distinct promptings that you will be led out of the labyrinth of distractions and disappointments the enemy has designed for you.  You don’t need to see the exit door at the end. Merely trust Me to get you there. I will not give you the blueprint, but will take you step by step – if you listen and follow.

Be aware of the voices you heed, for many will only take you deeper into this maze that leads you nowhere. Do not listen to Fear for he will always bind your feet and overwhelm you with dread, causing you to stop and give in to the darkness. Do not listen to Doubt for he will cause you to lose your footing and blind you to all the possibilities I have in store for you. Do not listen to Impatience for he will cause you to choose paths that are not covered by My grace and protection. Do not listen to the voices pulling you to distraction in order to avoid the work of obedience that is required. They will merely prolong your journey and wear down your resolve. If you lean into Me, I will quietly direct you to the left or to the right and lead you out of this maze, sooner and stronger than imagined.  

“And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.” (Isaiah 30:21)

But you must quiet your soul if you are to hear, for I will not shout nor will I beg you to listen. It is only from the depth of still waters that My Spirit can flow without hindrance or delay. For My aim is to not merely bring you out, but bring you closer. I am drawing you into My heart where you will find the answers you’ve been seeking. But you must trust My directives even when they seem counter to your own plans.

Discover the hidden road through this maze where the enemy has no authority and cannot touch you. Lean into My voice and listen closely. For this maze is not your prison, but a road you must travel. For in following My lead, you will not only defeat the plans set against you, but receive an even greater capacity for overcoming authority in the exploits to come.  Follow My voice, one step at a time, and prepare for a surprise exit that will amaze even you. What the enemy has designed for your downfall will become the very road to your destiny and the tool of your triumph.

    THE WEIGHT OF PERFECT LOVE

    I had an unexpected dream the other night that called my attention to the depth of the Father’s love when dealing with sin in His people… When I woke up, I was struck by my reaction in the dream. Knowing the doctrinal errors and spiritual deception this young woman has been operating in, I was surprised at what the Lord was revealing…

    A New Wineskin for a CHARISMATIC REFORMATION

    This reform is not rejection of the Charismatic emphasis on the Holy Spirit, but a refinement—where power is submitted to purity, and gifting is governed by godliness. The Church is being invited into a season of divine pruning so it may bear lasting fruit (John 15:2). The question is not just whether we want revival, but whether we are willing to become vessels that can carry it well.

    PERCEPTIONS ARE BEING TWISTED

    Due to what is at stake in these current scandals and controversies, this demonic twisting spirit is operating at full power. The enemy is inserting himself into these situations to cause perceptions and perspectives to be skewed and void of integrity. Regardless of what “side” you are on, I guarantee the enemy is at work. Statements are being made to mean one thing and they are being received as something different. Unless we are aware of this, we will make assumptions and determine a meaning that is only half true.

    WE CANNOT PARTNER WITH THIS SPIRIT

    Not everyone who operates in this spirit intentionally wants to lead people astray. Not everyone who is labeled a Jezebel is even aware of their partnership with her. Though there are a few who deliberately choose to rebel against the Lord and refuse to repent, there are also others who are unaware of their own deception. Jezebel blinds her slaves, and many who partner with her have no idea they are puppets in her hands. I know this because I used to be one of them.

    AN APPEAL TO THE TEACHERS AND PROPHETS

    As much as prophets need to carefully examine their encounters and revelations with scriptural integrity, teachers must view their doctrines through eyes of faith and a personal belief in the supernatural. And as much as the prophetic movement needs to evaluate some of its faith practices and messaging that have gotten off track, so must those who teach be willing to go where their understanding can’t reach and their arguments don’t work. Yes, we need to be grounded in the Word. But without faith in things unseen, we will only be bound to rules that carry no power.
