TODAY’S PROPHETIC THOUGHT
God is speaking courage into you. To move into your Promised Land you will have giants who try to keep you from advancing. No matter how loud it roars, know God is bigger. Trust in God’s promises as you advance into the place He has for you.
RUN TO JESUS
If you’re like me, you get tempted to run away from God. If you are going to get your upgrade and go to the next level, you cannot rebel in your wilderness experience – which is easy to do as the wilderness is hard!
Instead, you must run to Him!
The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. – Proverbs 18:10
How you act in the wilderness determines if you spend 40 days like Jesus did, or 40 years, like Moses. It is really up to you!
It is so important we learn to live and be happy in God’s presence, because in the wilderness, the battle is about survival. In the Promised Land, it is about advancing.
The enemy of dreaming, of creativity and forward, is survival. God wants you to get through your wilderness so you can get past surviving and get on with thriving. To do this, the enemy must be displaced from the places God has given you as an inheritance.
Know this: that place of inheritance is in God’s amazing presence in the wilderness. It’s where He changes you from a helpless slave to an overcoming warrior.
Instead of learning how to protect yourself, God wants to teach you how to fight. To battle for His promises, His goodness, hearing His voice and for territory in which to glorify Him. He wants to make you dangerous to the enemy and willing to fight for more of Him.
Do you want to be a warrior? Learn to fight through prayer and by searching for the heart of the King of Kings. Run to Him!
