While in prayer, Jesus revealed to me a strategy that the
enemy has been using to enslave God’s children at this time. I saw spiderwebs.
Hundreds of them like you sometimes see on clear days drifting in the sky (google informs me it is called spider ballooning). So
thin and fine. So weightless and seemingly powerless. However I saw that the
strategy of the enemy was to use that which seemed small and insignificant to
go under the radar. These thin wisps of spider web represented very small occurrences.
Little offenses. Little lies. Unforgiveness for little things. Small acts of
unrighteousness.
Jesus revealed to me a few small webs that had come my way
during the week and I was amazed at how small they were and yet how I had let
them remain on me till this time. I was also amazed at the number of small
instances that had occurred and how they had a negative impact on me.
The only reason I am sharing this is because Jesus only reveals
the enemy’s strategy so that we can overcome with a greater and victorious
strategy. And this is our calling. This
is our inheritance. And these are just 3 of many strategies that Jesus gave me.
1) Jesus said that the webs are easily discerned when we are
present or still.
2) Jesus also told me that the webs easily disintegrate in
the refining fire.
3) Jesus reminded me that the webs can also be washed off in
the River.
The key is to make room for these activities daily.
When we are present and still, it is easy to see, feel or
discern a web that has attached itself to us during the day. This is a KEY
strategy for God’s children at this time. It is time to live present and increasingly
aware in every moment. When we are present in love and light, discerning darkness
or fear is much more obvious. We can easily remove the web ourselves when we
see it.
When we invite Christ’s refining fire to purify us, it will
reveal all impure thoughts and motives which can easily be dealt with. Again,
this is simple and easy to do but it just takes time and intent. The more we
embrace the refining fire, the greater the awareness of the state of our own heart.
We are blessed to be able to come and wash in the River of
Life anytime we choose. We are blessed to have full access to this place of
such purity, cleansing and fun. The webs easily wash off in this heavenly place
and not only that, but there are many more beautiful things to receive in
exchange.
So my prayer is that we have an awareness of Christ’s
nearness in every moment of our days. I pray that we will not give the enemy a
foothold, small or large. I pray that we would embrace the refining fire in both
the Word and prayer. I pray that we would become more familiar with the River
of Life and our inheritance in heavenly places.
I bless you this day with an awakening to Christ in YOU.
Much Love,
