PROPHETIC WORD:
Don't Let Frustration Abort Your Destiny, November 21, 2006
My heart is grieved right now ...too many men and women of God are feeling
like giving up or they are carrying a heaviness on their shoulders that
is sucking the very joy of the Lord from them! This week alone, I've had
multiple requests for prayer from folks I know have withstood some
strong storms in the past -- yet now, the spirit of frustration has
taken foothold. After I received an email this morning about a friend of
mine throwing in the towel concerning her ministry … I said, "NO GOD!
Giving up is NOT of you! I `m going to fight … even if she doesn't want
to… this infection will NOT spread." Despite what I wanted to do, I had
to tell her that the desire to quit ... is not of God. We must learn to
bear up one another when weakness comes!
After this happened, my spirit just went into intercession and the
prophetic word began coming. So I'm sharing some of it here. If you know
of a brother and sister IN Christ who is in a place of distress right
now. I URGE you ... to encourage them today. Don't wait.
PROPHETIC WORD
God is saying GET UP, WAKE UP you are on the THRESHOLD of your destiny!
Don't let frustration with people and circumstances ABORT your vision!
[Frustration is defined as the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors
associated with not achieving a particular goal or the belief that a
goal has been prematurely interrupted. Look at this definition --
there's one key word here --- feelings. Get your cry out, scream, shout
...and then take yourself into praise and worship like you never have
before!]
The Lord reminded me that the principality resting over the atmosphere
right now is one of complete CHAOS and DISCORD. In this realm,
depression, suppression and oppression has been released by mammon.
These spirits, along with suicide, murder and mischief are working
overtime in the atmosphere -- preying on the poor in spirit or the
downcast. We cannot continue to reject the blessings, grace and mercy of
God! He has given us his fullness.
Some, he showed me, thought they had everything together just yesterday.
But when they woke up this morning they felt as if the world was
crashing down around and on top of them. What happened during the time
they laid down their head and the time they woke up this morning … Lord?
He said that you let someone infiltrated your "ear gate." You let
someone in your "eye gate." You took your armor off and "SUDDENLY" you
were overtaken. Others, he said, have been entertaining these
strongholds for some time. I have warned them … but they have not heard.
Tell them to: COME FROM AMONG THEM SAYS THE LORD! REPENT REMNANT ... you
are NOT of this world! So why do you focus on the things of this world!
Set your expectations on me ... or you will miss the very breakthrough
I've placed at your door.
I heard this scripture in my spirit: The kingdom of heaven suffers
violence and the violent take it by force. I hear the Lord saying today,
that the kingdom is inside each one of us and everyday that kingdom is
threatened by the inward struggles of the flesh and the outward push
from the world that seeks to seep into that flesh and saturate that
soul. It is for this reason that he has called us to COME TO HIM. Don't
let yourself stop here … by the side of the road. Your breakthrough is
at the door ….
But because your heart has been downcast, you have not been able to hear
his voice. Cut it off! Rebuke the spirit of frustration! It's a ploy to
defer your attention to people and circumstances and take your eyes off
God! The Lord is saying, "Don't look at the people or the circumstanced
any longer! Look at me! Trust me! I AM your source. Don't let
FRUSTRATION ... abort your vision."
"...nevertheless not my will, BUT THINE, be done" (Luke 22:42)
