I believed that the US was
at a crossroads and the election was going to determine which way we turned and
which way we turned would determine the path and the strategies the Lord would
release to the Church to accomplish His ends. By His Grace, He heard the cry of
His people to save our nation and He determined the direction and strategies of
this next season. I believe that whatever the outcome of the election, the Lord
had a strategy-but He is much better at determining which battles will
accomplish His desires in both world events and in the hearts of His people
than we.
Today President-Elect Trump
and his wife will be meeting with President Obama and his wife to begin the
process of handing over the reins of Office.
Pray
for Peace and Wisdom to manifest in this meeting today. Humble yourselves and
crucify the flesh, release your fears and your opinions and pray in the Holy
Spirit. For our weapons are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down
strongholds. Refocus your hearts and minds on the Lord and listen from your
heart so that we might apprehend the wisdom from above that is first pure, then
peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without
partiality and without hypocrisy.
We, the Church, have entered into a rare moment in
history. Quiet yourself and put aside the noise that bombards us from every conceivable
direction and rest in the Lord.
I see a scene in my mind and it reminds me of the
scriptures that describe the Children of Israel after they had crossed the
Jordan over into the Promised Land. Before they were allowed to enter into the
first battle with Jericho, the Lord required that they rest and undergo
circumcision. The church, I believe is in this place and we need to allow the
Lord to have His way. We are battle weary and our hearts have grown hard along
the way. We didn’t mean for this to happen, but it has happened. Please quiet yourselves,
and allow the Lord to till the soil of your hearts, allow Him to break up the
fallow ground of unbelief, fear, anger and unforgiveness. Assess your weaponry
and humbly obey the order from above to throw away the weapons that you may
have picked up from the enemy’s encampment. These weapons are carnal – they accuse
and declare judgments; they stir up violence and fear and rage and send people
into despair and grief. We must throw these weapons far from ourselves and
allow the Peace of God to rule our hearts so that we might become instruments
of healing in our nation.
