The season in which we find ourselves is one of change. No longer business as usual, treading well-worn paths and living in the status quo. Instead we experience new challenges in new unfamiliar settings with new relationships. Life, as we knew it, is gone. We are going over to the other side of the mountain to live, in an unfamiliar setting, where God is in control not us.
God tells us to let the past go and not to hang on to old victories, ways of thinking, grudges, and habits. He is doing something new and it requires letting go of toxic thought patterns, unforgiveness, regrets and living the familiar comfortable way. No longer coping as a survivor, but thriving in abundant life. When you let it all go, there is room for new relationships, new life in unfamiliar places and blessings you could not imagine. It is time for new beginnings, seeing new rivers flowing in the former desert and exploring new paths you would not have considered earlier.
Embrace the new and leave the past in the past!
“Stop dwelling on the past.
Don’t even remember these former things.
I am doing something brand new, something unheard of.
Even now it sprouts and grows and matures.
Don’t you perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and open up flowing streams in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:18-19 TPT)

God is so intimate with you, he can hear your heart, even when you’re not talking, with your mouth.

Fall in love with the Word of God and know the Truth and the Truth will set you free. Jesus, is the Word, who created the world came to earth in the flesh. He is the living Word, who spoke and the world was created. The promises in the Word of God are true. Take Him at His Word. Receive them, believe them and speak the Word over yourself, in faith! The Word has power when applied!
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:1-5 AKJV)
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1:10-14 AKJV)

Offended by others? It is easy to take offense, if one does not watch their heart. Offense when brooded over, like a laying hen, will hatch bitterness. Offended people build fences that they will not go across for reconciliation with whom they are angry. Anger, when fed by pride and selfishness, festers from our own wrong motives, into bitterness because our thoughts revolve around our hurts and our rights. Instead search your heart before you go to sleep so your will not allow the devil to gain a foothold in your soul (your mind, will, and emotions). Bitter roots give the enemy of our soul the right to occupy and implant his lies attached to our sinful holding onto offenses. Bless others, pray for them, and remember how much Yahweh through Jesus has forgiven you, so it is easy to let go of the offense.
Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers. (Ephesians 6:17 TPT)
May we never forget that Yahweh works wonders
for every one of his devoted lovers.
And this is how I know that he will answer my every prayer.
Tremble in awe before the Lord, and do not sin against him.
Be still upon your bed and search your heart before him. (Psalms 4:3-4 TPT)
With tender humility and quiet patience, always demonstrate gentleness and generous love toward one another, especially toward those who may try your patience. (Ephesians 4:2 TPT)
But don’t let the passion of your emotions lead you to sin! Don’t let anger control you or be fuel for revenge, not for even a day. (Ephesians 4:26 TPT)
Lay aside bitter words, temper tantrums, revenge, profanity, and insults. (Ephesians 4:31 TPT)
An understanding person demonstrates patience,
for mercy means holding your tongue.
When you are insulted,
be quick to forgive and forget it,
for you are virtuous when you overlook an offense. (Proverbs 19:11 TPT)

Come and get your life! The One God ordained for you to have!
Prepare –
a primitive root; to set in a row, i.e. arrange, put in order (in a very wide variety of applications):–put (set) (the battle, self) in array, compare, direct, equal, esteem, estimate, expert (in war), furnish, handle, join (battle), ordain, (lay, put, reckon up, set) (in) order, prepare, tax, value.
Enemies –
to cramp, (as follows):–adversary, (be in) afflict(-ion), besiege, bind (up), (be in, bring) distress, enemy, narrower, oppress, pangs, shut up, be in a strait (trouble), vex.
WE ARE NO LONGER SETTLING!
No more living a fear based life
It’s time to walk in your governmental authority!
Bountifully blessed
Tremendously blessed
Outrageously blessed
Contagiously blessed
Ecstatically blessed
Radically blessed
Deliriously blessed
Inevitably blessed and favored by the King
The psalmist tells us that God sets a table before you in the presence of your enemies. Usually, the richness of the table set before you, when you are a guest depends on how rich your host is. So you can imagine the kind of table God sets before those who are his own children.
Let’s examine this statement. Normally, you wouldn’t set a table, in the presence of enemies. (Indeed some would hardly like to set their table in front of their friends, not to talk of enemies). Obviously your enemies would love to deprive you of your feast and steal it from you, but God demonstrates his absolute power in that he is able to set a table for you in the midst of your enemies and they can do nothing except gaze enviously.
It is necessary to understand the relative positions and Authority of God, Man and Satan in the world to be able to operate in dominion.
The degree to which you understand God is the degree to which you can partake of the table. No devil is big enough to take away God’s blessing from you – if you have understanding.
The Preparation
I have and I am continually going before you to prepare the way, just like a good shepherd in the natural goes before the sheep to scout out green pastures, clean water, and eradicate enemies. Beloved, it is my desire to lead you to large places and high plains among the mountains of relationship with Me, (Psalms 118:5 Psalms 18:19). I have furnished all you will ever need. I have set everything in order.
I do not send you ahead of Me and I never will. I loved first, gave first, suffered first, sacrificed first, died first, rose first and ascended first in order to prepare your way. The Father sent Me and I willingly came to scout out and to make a way to bring you to the high plains of relationship once again.
Anoint my head with oil – a primitive root; to be fat; transitively, to fatten (or regard as fat); specifically to anoint; figuratively, to satisfy; (from 1880) to remove (fat) ashes (of sacrifices):–accept, anoint, take away the (receive) ashes (from), make (wax) fat. from 1878; the fat; abstractly fatness, abundance; specifically the (fatty) ashes of sacrifices:– ashes, fatness.
CUP – meaning to hold together; a cup (as a container), a lot (as if a potion):–cup, Compare 3599. a form for 3563; a cup; also a bag for money or weights:–bag, cup, purse.
RUN OVER –from 7301; satisfaction:–runneth over, wealthy.
to slake the thirst (occasionally of other appetites):–bathe, make drunk, (take the) fill, satiate, (abundantly) satisfy, soak, water (abundantly). I HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR MY NEEDS
[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. (Philippians 2:13 AMP)

God never leaves or abandons us but is always with us. He not only saves us but also takes great joy and delight in us. His love for us is incredible, without reservation. We do nothing to earn his lavish love. We are his children and he rejoices over us. He takes such delight in us that he sings over us. He is awesome beyond description!
Yahweh your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. (Zephaniah 3:17 ESV)

Real relationship requires real communication. Be honest with yourself, God, and others, don’t mask how you really feel, deal with it and allow God to deal with your heart.

Wow! Hearts, Motives, True Colors or Intentions are being exposed, in this season. Be not entangled or snared by the cares of this world. (Mark 4:19; Luke 21:34).
Holy Ghost News Flash! When you care more about your building, more than building your people, when you care more about your needs, than the needs of your people. When you try to correct God concerning what he is saying, over your people, you have missed the heart of the King of kings. You’re in religious control, and spiritual witchcraft, from the pulpit!
We destroy every altar that doesn’t lead to you Lord Jesus, by FIRE!!!!!!
