YOU ARE BEING PREPARED FOR SOMETHING GREATER. NO TIME FOR DISPUTE

As I'm sitting here, I'm thinking about my voice, and the importance of me not allowing the enemy to silence me. I'm thinking about the many nights the Lord has woke me up in the middle of the night to battle against darkness. He's woke me up from dreams that should terrify me, because He is allowing me to see in the spirit. The demonic things in the spirit realm, and how the next generation is in danger. Two key places He has revealed theses things to me is my hometown, and Africa. What I spoke about the land in Africa, I meant it. What I spoke about the WOKE African American community that's not really woke, I meant it. I'm not here to debate nor get into meaningless disputes about things the Father is revealing to me (Proverbs 26:4, 2 Timothy 2:23, Titus 3:9). I'm going to either obey God and speak truth being strong and courageous as I have been commanded, or coward down because I'm afraid of offending people (Jeremiah 1:8, Joshua 1:9, Acts 4:29). I CHOOSE TO OBEY. How many people know that in Africa young black boys have HIV because they are having sex with men just to get money to eat, and for their families? The Lord has shown me these things in my dreams. I have seen the demons that they are up against in my dreams. He has shown me that they are powerless against this kind of darkness, and what I heard in my dream is, "THEY NEED YOU." The question to me would be: "AM I PREPARED?" Two years ago the Lord made it clear that I wasn't. I was still learning to wait on Him. Not to be anxious and move before His leading. The kind of demons they are facing is not in America. This kind of darkness is not in America. This is why I REFUSE to play church. I REFUSE to be someone to pretend to have authority. There is no place for this when you have to face demons of this caliber. DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN LOSE YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU ARE NOT PREPARED? It's not just about going to these places to feed them and build homes, it's battling against the darkness that has prevailed in that land for years (Ephesians 6:12). It's about changing the trajectory of what we see that can only happen in the spirit realm first. We have to be fully in tune to what the Holy Spirit is saying. Discipline in our hearing and obeying instructions from the Lord. Not having nothing in common with darkness. Willing to push pass wanting to give up, and choosing to persevere and endure while being strengthen by God (Romans 5:3-5). You must know JESUS and the authority allotted to us, and not pretending to know God when facing darkness (Matthew 10:1, Luke 10:19. Demons know rather or not if you're one of authority sent by God. Acts 19:15-16 says, "And the EVIL SPIRIT ANSWERED and said, “JESUS I KNOW, AND PAUL I KNOW; but WHO ARE YOU?” Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, OVERPOWERED THEM, and PREVAILED AGAINST THEM, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded." (emphasis mines) Have you ever wondered why your life had to be so hard after giving God a YES? Why there was such a great resistance to keep you from moving forward in the things the Father has called you to? You have made the choice to live for God. To be fully submitted to His way, but yet, your life have been under attack where you only get moments at a time to come up for air. THE LORD IS ALLOWING IT ALL TO HELP PREPARE YOU. 1 Peter 4:12-13 says, "Beloved, DO NOT THINK IT STRANGE concerning the FIERY TRIAL WHICH IS TO TRY YOU, as THOUGH SOME STRANGE THING HAPPENED TO YOU; but REJOICE to the extent that you PARTAKE OF CHRIST’S SUFFERINGS, that when HIS GLORY IS REVEALED, you may also be glad with exceeding joy." (emphasis mines) The enemy have one plan, and that's to get you to quit, because you are a threat to the kingdom of darkness. I'm sitting here with the Lord this morning thinking about how important it is that we press through no matter the resistance. I'm thinking how your choice to live for God, be the light in the earth, and battle against darkness is not just about you. It's about your kids, your family, and all those the Father has called you to. It's about LEGACY. It's about changing the trajectory of your bloodline. The path the Lord had many to take is actually preparing them for the place the Father is sending them. You walk in a greater level of authority and anointing because of the resistance. He has strengthen you, and given you an immeasurable amount of grace for your path (2 Corinthians 12:9). A path many are not built for, or willing to take. MANY ARE CALLED, BUT ONLY A FEW ARE CHOSEN (Matthew 24:14). KNOW YOU ARE BEING PREPARED FOR SOMETHING GREATER. #encouragement #Africa #authority #christian
