PROPHETIC DIRECTION
by Marsha Burns
You will arise to a new level of overcoming. You
have already begun to see patterns in your life that have consistently opened
the door to the enemy’s work against you. These patterns will become
increasingly apparent as you progress and punish disobedience with your
obedience. Rejoice in this process.
Your struggle is not over, but if you look back you can
see that victory has come more speedily than in times past. This is
because you have learned to release your anger and bitterness and have refused
the victim position. You will continue to rise up to defeat the enemy more
effectively as you choose to exercise your faith in Me to bring you through.
Do not be afraid of unknown challenges that lie ahead.
You cannot fight the battle until you see the enemy and discover his method of
attack. Rest in the assurance that My grace is sufficient, and that I will
bring you through to victory as you yield to the leading of My Spirit, says the
Lord. Luke 12:11-12 "Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates
and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you
should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you
ought to say."
This indeed is a season when you discover in greater
dimension the power to overcome every obstacle. Old mindsets that bring
defeat to you will become crystal clear. It will be like suddenly
awakening from a dream to see the absolute reality of your existence and
spiritual dominance.
I am lifting you up to a high place spiritually where you
can see the valley below with great clarity. You will no longer see the
world and people around you with natural eyes, but you will see through eyes of
discernment that penetrate through the veil that separates flesh and spirit.
Be prepared to have the eyes of your understanding
enlightened. I will cause you to grasp the wisdom of things you have not
been able to comprehend. This will enable you to overcome obstacles
and walk in confidence and victory.
You have already had significant breakthroughs in
understanding how the spirit realm affects your body and soul, but I tell you
honestly that your level of comprehension is not even half of what you will come
to know and grasp. Every new revelation will become your possession and
strengthen you.
If you ask anything in My name, according to My will.
I will do it. I will teach you and show you by My Spirit the difference
between what you want according to your carnal nature and what My will is.
It will be a divine separation of soul and spirit. Yield yourself
completely to this process. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living
and powerful, and sharper than any two–edged sword, piercing even to the
division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.
I Am Your Pilot:
Things have not worked out exactly as you expected.
This is because you cannot see the end from the beginning. I have designed
it to be this way so that you can be built up in faith and know that I am with
you to direct you along your path to destiny. Take delight in the fact
that I am your Pilot, and I will maneuver you through even the most dire
straits.
Don’t miss or overlook opportunities that look small and
insignificant by looking too far out and focusing on the big picture. I
have great things in store for you, but you must not despise the days of small
beginnings. Job 8:7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end
would increase abundantly.
I say, establish clear boundaries and reorder your
priorities, so that My blessings can flow like a river – uninterrupted.
The temptation will be to create your own blessings and to depend on your own
strength to accomplish your desires, but I hold all power over heaven and earth.
Depend on Me to cause you to be fruitful. Your accomplishments are of a
temporary nature, but what I produce in you is everlasting.
Your most difficult days are behind you. You have
endured much and been strengthened by your perseverance. Truly you are
stronger now than you have ever been. Your faith has been tested through
many trials and tribulations, and you have come through in victory. I
count your faithfulness as righteous.
You’ve come a long way, baby, but you have not yet gone
as far as you can go. The possibilities for your life have not been
exhausted. On the contrary, you will be surprised and delighted at what I
have in store for you. But, you will have to hold your own dreams and
desires loosely to allow My will to manifest so that you can receive the best
that I have for you, says the Lord. Trust Me!
Prepare to be stretched. But, know that you will
not be challenged beyond your ability to accomplish what is set before you.
Trust Me for strength to overcome and endure. It is true that you can do
all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Those things in your life that seem to have been
fragmented or left undone will now be brought to a conclusion as the door to the
past is shut and a new and exciting door is opening before you. Rejoice in
this time of new life and hope.
I am taking you step by step through the things that have
consistently made you stumble and lose heart. It will be like breaking the
chains one link at a time so that you can see clearly the nature of the bondage,
and you will never again be ensnared as in days gone by. Rejoice in a new
level of liberty, says the Lord.
There have been times in your life when you have swung
between two poles, one of ultra hope and blessing and the other abject poverty
and hopelessness. If you will yield to the work of My Spirit along these
lines, I will bring you from extreme ups and downs to a plateau of spiritual
reality and faith. For, certainly I am the Author and Finisher of your
faith, and I will establish you on this level ground.
Refuse to allow the enemy to use condemnation to remove
you from the flow of revelation by the Spirit. His tactics won’t be
anything new. Expect the same old lies that bring guilt, shame, and
rejection. But, now I will give you greater capacity to see quickly and
deal with the attacks, so that your times of oppression will be immediately cut
off like awakening from a bad dream.
I am releasing healing in you that will wash away the
rejection and failures from the past and equip you to go forth with wisdom and
endurance. Let go of the labels that have been assigned to you by various
people and circumstances, for I call you My beloved.
Prepare to make some of the most important decisions of
your life as I present opportunities that you could never have imagined.
You are Mine, and My plan is to establish you and bless you in ways that will
remove even the vaguest remembrance of past disappointments and struggles.
I will open doors before you, and you will behold new
vistas and prospects for the future that you really never dreamed of. And,
I will bring you by a way that you have not known and make your feet like hinds’
feet that will enable you to negotiate even the most difficult of paths.
You will scramble up the craggiest places as though it were level ground because
I am with you to make the crooked places straight and the rough places smooth.
You will have choices to make in the days ahead that have
the potential to change the landscape of your life forever. Seek Me for
wisdom, and choose wisely. If you ask for wisdom, I will certainly give it
to you.
In this season you must recapture the gifting and flow
that you once embraced. In the passage of time and circumstances you lost
confidence, but now is the time when you can reclaim what was rightfully yours
from the beginning. You cannot go back to the old manifestation of your
gift because it had to become like a seed that fell to the ground and died in
order to take root and grow up in you to produce fruit for this time. Be
open and yielded, says the Lord.
