Trouble

Reversal

The mantle of Jesus is a mantle of divine reversal. Jesus’ entire ministry was about reversing the earth back to God’s kingdom. When Jesus walked the earth, He overturned the enemy’s plans, reversing the “order” of things. If you are saved, then the mantle of reversal is upon you. You can reverse past curses, old cycles and old patterns. God’s sovereignty can come upon your scene; though the enemy has been stolen from you. Exercising the mantle of reversal in your life will bring greater blessing than what you had “yesterday!”

Double Through Praise

God is a generational God; He intends for the blessings to continue to be imparted and transferred from one generation to the next-even doubled! Elijah transferred his “portion” to Elisha–and doubled it. Before he died, Elisha imparted his source of power to king Joash. In the mystery of Zachariah 9, one can find the direction to praise (hidden in the name Judah), to enable us to release double (hidden in the name Ephraim). When praise is the bow, and when Ephraim is the arrow, it is able to hit TWO marks at a time. Double victory! If you want double, get your bow out and release your praise. Fill your bow with an Ephraim. Praise is the pathway to your double. Defy all odds by the power of the Holy Ghost in praise!

Trouble

Did you know the enemy is not fighting you because of where you are, but rather for where you are going? He knows that you are headed to your destiny and tries to intimidate you. But know this, trouble is serving your future. Trouble is your transportation to your future. Moreover, your trouble has an expiration date. You will outlast your trouble. Your persistence is the thing that will break the resistance. Keep your eyes set like flint on the Lord and let trouble be a platform to catapult you into your destiny!

Transit

What is coming to the earth has never been seen before; this new season is like no other! God is setting the pace in the Spirit, preparing for the head-on collision of two kingdoms! It’s a time of transition as He releases His glory upon His Church, empowering and enabling her to stand against the wiles of the enemy. When we experience and behold the glory, we will be transformed, limitations from our minds will be lifted, making all things possible with God. The glory disables us, even destroys the plans of the enemy in our lives, while also bringing provision, healing, empowerment … When we surrender our hearts and minds to Him in the glory, we will be ready to transition to victory in this dark world. God is on the move in the glory! May we surrender to the point that we lose our dignity to find our deity!

Disappointment

Charles Dickens said, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” If one has lived any length of time as a Christian, one has experienced the reality of the combined opposites of bitter and sweet. God takes messes and makes messages, a test into a testimony, a trial into a triumph, a victim into a victor (Fern Bernstein). God loves to show up and show out in the “eleventh hour.” Our lives can be overturned overnight, but God is still in the business of making bitter situations sweet! He did with the waters at Meribah-a divine reversal because Moses got a revelation that he acted on. In the midst of your worst time, learn from Moses' act of faith as he put a demand on the supernatural and watch your bitter become sweet.
