Set before you is a divinely-inspired plan, one complete with unique purpose and strategically-ordered steps that are perfectly aligned toward His intended destination for your life.
At work in the balance is a force busily fashioning weapons specifically targeted to thwart this plan, to bring into question this purpose, and to misdirect these steps as it masterfully orchestrates contradiction in an attempt to offset the divine course for your life.
It is not a requirement that you believe that this force is at work – for not believing or acknowledging that it exists merely promotes its progression toward its goals as it continually, without ceasing, puts forth its destructive efforts, actively operating while remaining completely undetected.
It is also not a requirement that you believe that there exists a divine plan and purpose for you in order for it to be so – for many remain detained in unbelief, consoled by rich and embellished lives as their flesh rests in satisfaction – all the while, they encroach closer and closer upon their demise as laid out by a captor whose face they refuse to see.
Say not that you are too young, for it is not a man’s age, but his spirit;
Say not that you are too weak, for your strength, through Him, is sufficient;
Say not that you lack eloquent speech, for He will cause His words to proceed from your mouth with a clarity that has the power to break, loose and bind;
Say not that you are not affluent and are therefore unfit to serve or be of affect, for the riches of the Kingdom of God are altogether separate from materials gained through the efforts of the flesh;
Say not that you lack adequate education, for the wisdom of God is separate and apart from worldly intellect and can only be attained through the placing of one’s trust in Him;
Do not protest the unction of the Holy Spirit, neither allow its groanings to be quieted through complacency, malice or fear. Instead, invite the Spirit to freely operate in your daily comings and goings, desiring for Him to align and correct and asking that He will move you to give and to forgive; that He will destroy that which is rooted in the temporal to rebuild upon that which is forever secure; that He will cleanse your soul through tears and seal your heart with joy; that He will equip you with boldness while cloaking you with humility; that He will, through you, provoke the faith of the unbeliever, will comfort the weary and fearful with inexplicable peace, and that the truth of His Word will be emblazoned upon the hearts of man that they may neither faint nor shrink in the face of trial, but stand firm in their high callings.
May a holy and mighty undercurrent be positioning itself, through the obedience of the followers of Christ by their flowing in unique giftedness and purpose, causing a massive upheaval of the ungodliness of this world and resulting in the stirring of faith like never before; and may new believers and old alike be unwilling to compromise their holy identity through the ingesting of cleverly-designed propaganda that seeks to infiltrate and mislead the hearts and minds of its partakers but rather, may their actions be based solely upon the divine inspiration and leading of the Spirit of God attained through an active relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ.
Speak, Lord.
