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 COST OF LEAVING

    God is doing a radical work within the Body of Christ that is both painful and costly. A Refiner’s fire is sweeping through the Church that is testing both character and conduct. He is lifting the standard of righteousness and seeing who can pass through the flames as purified vessels. And to bring us through safely, He is calling many to walk away from what was once “home.”

    YES, GOD STILL SPEAKS THROUGH REVELATION

    For those who feel strongly about basing everything on the written Word, what role does “revelation” have in forming our beliefs and practices? Isn’t recorded Scripture enough to determine sound doctrine? How do we receive and understand revelation given by the Holy Spirit? If we have the Word, why do we need further revelation? Let me share the evidence I found that not only proves the power of revelation, but the necessity of it if we are to fulfill our commission...

    PURSUING HIS PRESENCE MORE THAN HIS PROPHETS

    Why is it that prophetic ministry always comes under such scrutiny? Why do prophetic voices gain so much attention and cause such a stir? What is it about prophecy that causes such controversy on the one hand, and such hunger on the other? I believe one of the primary reasons is that true prophecy opens the door to the unseen realm. Pure prophetic operation reveals a supernatural God and realities not otherwise experienced or known to our flesh. It is a tangible demonstration that we can hear God’s voice and even know God’s heart. And though most of our understanding of prophecy comes from the New Testament, I find an interesting statement from Moses in the Old Testament that points to a core value of the prophetic.

    SACRED COWS AND STRANGE FIRE

    The knife that is cutting through His house is no respecter of persons. God does not set aside our favorites. He does not overlook compromise or spiritual corruption to salvage men’s reputations. Nor will allow His anointing to be weaponized by those who only seek the glory for themselves. He is a holy God and NO ONE can touch His glory. No one is above His discipline or correction. And because of the buildup of dung in His pantry, the stench can no longer be tolerated. No prophet or apostle, teacher or pastor, or any other leader in God’s house will escape His cleansing wrath.
